Why don't musicians just end the Grammies? This shitty beauty pageant thinly disguised as an art awards show is:
>a massive leech on the music scene that wastes the time of gullible artists like Chance the Rapper and causes artists to rush out their albums before October each year
>offers no actual gains to the music scene since they just award the highest selling artists
>keep up appearances by 1. essentially giving a "lottery prize" to a more obscure artist each year, like Sturgill Simpson, who isn't even any better than the pop artists anyway, and 2. doing the bare minimum to keep up with SJW criticism so young libs will keep watching
>everyone who isn't a massive pleb or an industry pawn recognizes that they have no integrity
If the 20 highest selling American artists boycotted the Grammies one year the whole show would flounder and we'd be free of this outdated high society drivel. Look at these two artists who won big at the Grammies. Have they done anything to advance music as an art form?

People will boycott it until they get an award.
Watch frank ocean flip the second they throw him something.
awards keep you relevant and get work as a top 20
>>
>>70971490
Frank Ocean already won a grammy, dork.
>>
>>70971395
it ain't that serious. stop getting so worked up over hollywood
>>
>>70971512
Not to mention he maintained extremely high relevance after a terrible Grammy performance.
>>
>>70971490
David Bowie never won an award for his actual music until this year though. Just for smaller things like music videos. His reign of musical relevancy from the 60s to the 2010s is almost unmatched
>>
>>70971512
then again. whatever.
>>70971547
not saying its a requirement. though for rnb/hip-hop, it probably is because people forget abeut you in a day

>Frank Ocean
>The guy who somehow broke sophomore album promises for like 4 years straight and ghosting on his fans and then ended up breaking records with an independently released album
>Needing the Grammies stay relevant
Academy shill please go away.

>>70971395
Because the industry has a need to remind people its music commodities are valuable and meaningful. The Grammys and the Oscars are spectacular pseudo events engineered for publicity purposes.

>>70971638
dont even watch (((their))) stuff. just saying
Hes already falling off though
>>
>>70971689
>falling off though
???
>>
>>70971689
He's not "falling off", he has obviously had the chance to work with the biggest artists on Earth but instead chose to do things like coo in the background of New Slaves rather than sell out and feature on a bunch of r&b hooks like a lot of other singers.
He's purposely been a little reclusive because he has the industry validation to do so, and wants to keep up the quality of his art

cant keep what you never had
>>
>>70971816
You can keep these dubs though.

>>70971816
>my opinion is fact
Meanwhile every reputable critic who isn't the Grammies loves his music and he is a cultural icon.
>>
>>70971864
>reputable critics
and yet youll probably laugh at peopse who take ebert seriously
>>
>>70972123
Not really. Despite having some quirks and biases, Ebert was obviously one of the most well-equipped people in the world to recommend good films. All critics are flawed but they're usually much more trustworthy voices on art than the general populace

How is Adele still a fat fuck? She had kid(s) right? How can you still be that fucking fat *after* giving birth?
>>
>>70972276
thats her gimmick
>>
>>70972276
>Lana del Rey is fat to /mu/
>present-day Adele who is like 100 pounds lighter than she used to be is fat to /mu/
Do you actually get these standards from the real world?
