>Was AOTY 2015 for nearly every critics list
>Didn't win a AOTY from the Grammys
Can /mu/ explain this without any meme responses?
I thought the Grammys only went for the popular vote?
>>68545102
they reward sales over everything, so of course T Swift was gonna win
they really tried to embarrass him too, bringing out Earth Wind and Fire for.....1989? Whats the basis
The narrative was that Tay tay should have won AOTY for "Red", so when she came out with a new one that wasn't complete shit, she was bound to win it that year. TPAB was a casualty
>>68545121
This would make sense if only they didn't try previous years to give it to beck or arcade fire.
>>68545102
taylor swift was due
he'll get a grammy for his next album
>>68545102
Grammys are racists
>>68545102
The grammys are a joke, that's all there is to know.
>>68545245
wym, beck won very recently
imo, the grammy criteria is:
1) sales, which can only be superseded by
2) the Oscars system of "making up for past snubs"
3) seeking an image of credibility
4) critical acclaim
he didnt get AOTY because the album was fucking shit OP

Which is exactly why they gave it to Taylor Swift.
The Grammys are a fucking joke. What they do is it's not even popular vote, they just have a huge list of people in the music industry that they send special ballads to to vote. It's usually 50 year old music theory professors and dadrocker engineers that don't have a wide range of taste as far as the kind of music that's on the current year's grammys go. So they just end up picking that one band/artist they've actually heard of and roll with it. Which is why it ends up a popularity contest and a meaningless honor

Ballots*, how did that even happen
>>68546259
even if you hated it that claim is nothing more than horseshit. What was it one of like 5 albums you listened to?
>>68546259
There are a few criticisms you could throw at this album, boring is not one of them
Explain yourself
>>68546322
>Implying TPAB and Kendrick in general isn't popular
>>68546620
Boring is a criticism you idiot.
I'm a fan of the album and you made yourself look stupid.
Because its overrated garbage about some nigger crying about muh oppression and muh dick
>>68546735
Pretty sure he meant that "boring" is not an appropriate criticism for the album because it's definitely not boring. And I agree, I have no idea how someone could find it boring unless you listened to it on shitty laptop speakers or your phone or some shit.
