i know this is a race-baiting thread but isn't this kind of sucking up to the pop establishment embarrassing

Both beyonce and adele made mediocre albums.
Danny brown, swans, and death grips should have been nominated. They actually had good albums last year. Adele and beyonce are the worst examples of women making good albums. Women like Julia holter, weyes blood, joanna newsom, noname gypsy actually make good music - not hacks like adele and beyonce. All beyonce and adele have is good voices.

you're an idiot

I mean its true. The association is largely filled with professional suit-types.

If you get triggered by this, you don't know much about the music business.

lemonade isn't an ambitious, defining work

it could be argued that kendrick should have won those previous editions, tho

>>70990548
it's all (intentional) race war fuel. I mean, we all know the entirety of pop culture is scripted. they had the black woman make the better album, and lose, just to make black people angry and white people angry at the angry black people. and it works every time

>>70991160
yeah this. besides the obvious (that pretty much all rap is pop in 2017) Kendrick himself is most certainly part of the pop reality.

>>70991154
yes, but you force progressivism by getting people worked up over manufactured injustices

Music and film doesn't have a place being judged in such a centralized way. It is (supposed to be) ART... Grammys and Oscars are just marketing for their own INDUSTRY. >>70992040 This, kinda.

They never seem to give out awards for Bollywood produictions huh?

you should probably add to this list the fact that My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy wasn't even nominated while it was the most critically acclaimed album of the year

did she appear in a parodical costume of a jew?

will this tank adele's career like it did to macklemore? or is adele more "deserving" of the award.

Still don't think this was controversial at all.

I was pretty surprised that Adele won. I was expecting Beyonce to sweep because MUH STRONG BLACK WOMAN. Doesn't matter anyway, the Grammy's doesn't properly represent modern music culture which I why Kanye refuses to attend anymore.

>>70993748

The illusion of importance, yes. You can't even get a mention without being extremely popular though, at least in terms of societal awareness.

Would that be really insulting to give your award away to someone else?

>>70994539
Are you referring to the Grammy winners or different 'best albums' of each year?

If the former: Bullshit. You damn well know that Taylor Swift album wasn't that great.
If the latter: What 4 albums?

Almost album the Grammies nominate for AOTY is terrible anyway, including both of Kendricks; funnily enough the only albums I sorta like from the last few AOTY pools are Beck's, Beyonce's s/t (which blows Lemonade out of the water), Sturgill Simpson's, and maybe RAM on a good day. As for my actual AOTY's:
2016 = Blackstar
2015 = Have You In My Wilderness
2014 = To Be Kind (inb4 Fantano memes)
2013 = Immunity

>>70990548
Who the fuck cares about the Grammys? Even plebs know it's just the music industry trying to suck its own dick. I highly doubt it was ever about music.

Healthy young boy go to college, gets pumped with massive amounts of THC, loses ability to think critical and has no motivation - POT ADDICTION. Many such cases!

>Implying the grammys hate black people
Beyonce has 20 of them despite being terrible

>that defines it's year

lmao yea right

Why should political content matter more than aesthetic content?
I find it hard to imagine that anyone listened to Lemonade beyond Formation and 1-2 other songs. It's bland. It's not an album you can fall in love with. Purpose is a better album.

Is this suppose to be controversial?
Blacks are only 13% of the population. They're over-represented.

Same. But then I researched the commercial success of each album and it makes sense. Adele crushed everyone.
