Good kid maad city losing to the heist is an absolute joke. MBDTF is one of the soundest most well produced albums ever. There was not an album in 2015 better than To Pimp a Butterfly. thanks for coming to my uh thing
you fuckin clowns by pass like grammy tupac and biggie.
I don't like the super casual outfits. In my personal opinion, Natasha shouldn't be allowed to wear crop tops at work because they wouldn't let their male hosts come on shirtless. If the male hosts come in dressed up appropriately each episode, then I expect the same from Natasha. I also felt the need to post this comment because I feel like she's wearing those outfits to please the horny losers in the comments section, but it's not helping the reputation or views of this channel.. 😑
Super dope video!
Grammys are shit 💩 and there is no doubt about it!! 🤮
Good video! ✌
Black people wanting validation by white people again as usual 😑
Mac Miller Got Robbed Don’t @ Me Simple.
cardi b won rap album of the year🤣 that’s hella goofy
very good video complex, i'm amazed
Bring back Emily
If was dumb to post this too soon because now you could’ve added the Grammys cutting off drakes mic after he said you don’t need one to be considered a winner.
1:57 – 3:52
5:02 – 7:28
J. Cole not nominated for a Grammy. FUCK the whole show.
Chance the motha fucking rapper
Maybe hiphop would care about the Grammys if popstars like drake didn’t win hiphop awards
Nipsey Hussle better win rap album of the year
Is it just me or chance 3 was pretty significant, cuz it was a free album and all
Still dont understand how MBDTF didnt win album of the year …
Natasha 🍆 💦
Grammy biased as hell…at aoty,where Queen at I find it better than IOP🤦🏻♀️
Update: Pusha T won the best rap album this year, the award wasn't aired.
Black people, y'all need to stop putting on a pedestal those White validation awards because you'll never be good in their eyes because of your visible Blackness. Even when White people are nominated in alleged "Black categories", they'll manage to be voted as the winners because, in those old White people's eyes, their own people are inherently better than you'll ever be, even when you guys are clearly way above them.
Yea let's skip over Bone Thugs-n-Harmony winning a Grammy in the 90s
Wow my future baby mamma Natasha looking like a snack as always
Omg this beat is nice
You'd think Eminem would have one smh
Bruno Mars shouldn’t be classified as hip hop.
Kanye has been up for aoty 4 times but lost every time although he took home the rap one. Eminem is the Bestselling Artist of the 21st Century, Worldwide, and although he has 6 albums with Grammys he's lost aoty every time. Drake, Kendrick and Gambino all turned down performing this year. And Cardi's is the only rap album nominated for aoty. Drake, Posts and Kendrick's aren't considered rap.
Jay-Z is officially in 1st for Hip-Hop with 22 wins.
Horrible timeline editing, it was all over the place!
Raps divisiveness? …you culture vultures fucks.. It's the Grammys divisiveness not Raps. All the white rappers stole the hiphop sound in the Grammys is embracing it. But didn't when blacks & Puerto Rican had the hiphop charts on fire. Fuck them maggots! Check Post Mallone"s IG ain't nothing but racist kids on his page. Foh!!
Don't feel bad Mr. Kanye, I mean, shitttttt 50 Cent did 13million records in 2003 and STILL didn't win best new artist.
Fuck the Grammys they literally mean nothing
Never forget the Grammys picked Macklemore “The Heist” over Kendrick Lamar’s Good kid MAad City smh!
I swear niggas b dumb as fuck Hip hop has been mainstream for 30 years but yet we still look for approval from people or corporations who know nothing or respect our culture. We should of been had our own prestige award and im not talkin BET thats minor. And we wonder why the grammys aint respecting our greats Pac, biggie, Nas, Jay Z, Snoop? Cause that aint our shit. We got all this money but no brains, or real unity
Blame whitey
I boycotted the Grammys when the RIAA didn't give A Tribe Called Quest a nomination for their 6th and final album such disrespect by the industry for the lack of recognition
Isss a different vibe
