record of the year is a technical award for the overall production, song of the year goes to the songwriters
this is empirically correct
So why do the artist accept the award when half of them don’t produce or write?
@@GraduateJLNthey probably blanket their thanks as “thank you to everybody who helped me with this award…” I like what Kendrick has been doing in terms of keeping DJ Mustard close to his side during the awards. Production goes a long away and has not long ago been widely appreciated.
@@lilbean9256 didn’t him & mustard hook up? 🤔🤔
@@lastcuneyt3334 idk but that’d be crazy look into it and let’s expose em if it’s any worth
Kendrick bout to drop a song called “Meet The Grammys” 😂😂😂
damn.
😂😂😂
The Grammys not awarding our race has to do with them having morals not wanting to award weed smoking rap criminals who degrade women, promote drugs and violence and have criminal pasts, Don't understand why it's so hard for us to clean up our act🤷🏿♂️@@open_mike_eagle
@@open_mike_eagle nah that's a different album.
@@open_mike_eagle good album too
I think its so crazy that Mustard is getting a Heinz deal out of all this. lmao
Adobe wondering why their PDF stocks be dropping
thats hilarious
@open_mike_eagle you're hilarious!
Perfect coment
LMAO…. Facts, bc I send pdf files a lot soooooo……😭
I really wish black people would realise their true, unlimited POWERRRRRRRR
This situation is so fascinating because I’m simultaneously enjoying the hell out of this spectacle while also fully aware of how self serving all of this is
I don’t know how people haven’t known from the beginning that award shows are self-serving when they’re voted on by their respective industries. it’s not like it’s a generalized poll or small panel of unbiased judges that can provide some kind of objectivity. its a celebration within their craft, the concept is inherently self-serving
@@pillowvibes I meant that this whole beef has been self-serving for Kendrick but you're also right
The industry is always self serving. Always have been, always will be.
I’ve felt this shift happening in hip-hop culture in the past year, and I’ve noticed how many old heads came back just last year to help move it into a new direction. I think the new jacks are finally looking to the past in earnest, and bringing the best of what the old heads did forward. More conscious, but not in that fake way; more introspective, but not throwing a lyrical pity party.
I knew things were truly changing when Ice Spice’s album was DOA in week one, while both MC Lyte and L.L. came back with better albums and actual singles.
lyrical pity party... brilliant!! LOL 😆
16:10 This... What Mike says here about the instant influence of Not Like Us... This is what pissed me off the most about the Drake lawsuit. His claim that it was all bots, as if we weren't all there. As if we didn't see the instant reactions across the world
EXACTLY!
He didn't claim it was all bots he said it was promoted with bots to boost its popularity even if it was just 1 million bots its still false promotion
@@slymboi261irrelevant pedantry. Bottom line is, he is seeking to undermine the genuine reaction the world had to the song. He is trying to bend reality around his insecurity to shield himself from the truth
He did it because he tried to undermine it legally. Not because he didn't believe it was viral. You sound like you want drake to acknowledge you. Which probably wasn't his reason
@@Oppaletix What does the legality have to do with what I said? Did I say that Drake believes his suit to be valid deep down? Do you know what words mean? Read what I said again. Bro getting mad coz his reading and comprehension ability is poor. Your education was a waste fam.
Someone in the chat mentioned Grammy reparations and that makes a lot of sense because I suspect the feelings a lot of people have about Beyonce getting best album for Cowboy Carter and not Lemonade echoes the feelings they had when Kendrick got the Pulitzer prize for Damn and not TPAB.
It just felt like 'it's her year' the way last year or year before Taylor S got one when she handed in another unchallenging IP to merchandise because I think the academy saw an opportunity to give her just enough to claim some record for herself so they could pat themselves on the back for being oh so progressive and feminist.
Taylor might not be quite the despicable culture vulture like her bestie Post Malone but she for sure is pro capitalist, anti-competition, uses and disposes of collaborators like Drake and is just all-round the Coles or Woolworths of pop as her actions prove over and over she will act in bad faith to hobble the success of other women.
It gives me no shortage of serotonin to see her and her equally creatively bankrupt buddy Postie leave empty-handed.
I would hope they never return, but if they even let Ye in with his partner who is just... beyond help - then it's only a matter of time before Tay returns wioth some new IP like a new wave of covid to smother the new talent she sees as upstarts if they don't stay in their place as openers for her. I just cannot see her as anything but insidious and petty and instead of fighting the system that only allows for so many spots for women which results in fierce competition for those spots, Tay would rather uphold this status quo for as long as it benefits her. She's not an artist, she's a Bezos.
More likely for Macklemore beating Kendrick, especially when you think where is Macklemore now?
I had no idea that scene at the Grammy's happened.
Makes me think about after the french revolutionary war, where Ludwig van Beethoven wrote the opera, Fidelio, written in revolutionary spirit.
Scene at the end where, a nobleman's crime is revealed, the chorus of like 50 people sings
"LET NEMESIS FALL ON THE VILLAIN WHO OPPRESSED THE INNOCENT. Let Justice draw her avenging sword in retribution."
I think people today are hungry for some sort of consequences in the world and a celebrity predator getting called out fits enough of the bill for folk for it to hit like lightning.
I just wonder the extent to which promoting this was profitable and a good cover for some scummy people in the industry. I’m not worth listening to on the rap industry but this vid makes me at least feel justified in saying both are probably true.
Shout out Rapsody!
Im a hardcore kid. Or, to be specific, metalcore/deathcore/etc. So, I hyped that Knocked Loose and Spiritbox were nominated in the metal category. Saddened that both lost. Granted, they lost to Gojira. Who were absolutely deserving. Not mad they won. But it would have been cool to see a true hardcore/metalcore band win. Okay, rant over.
The comment was more for the algorithm.
I appreciate it!
As a hardcore(Metalcore/Deathcore specifically as well) to see bands I genuinely love and are excited about getting their just due is a beautiful thing. And to lose to gojira is honorable af bc their catalog is stellar. All in all first time I was happy with the outcome as well as the lead up.
Yeah, I was hoping Knocked Loose would get some recognition, but like you said, Gojira deserved some respect. I don’t think the work in question was better, but it’s like with Beyoncé, they probably should have gotten a Grammy for best metal performance, or whatever in their genre, a while ago.
That said, I can’t say I was excited about it. I just think it’s cool when artists I like get recognition, if only because it can be good for their careers.
Knocked loose are very Damm cool, but Ilove that Gojira won because is one of my favorite metal bands and that performance is legendary.
Hoping to see more interesting picks for this category in the future, Chat Pile or Soul Glo or something would be great to see
The whole PDF angle was only a 1/3 of what Not Like Us is about.
And he literally asked for it
@ Right. He didn’t even ask. He told Dot to talk about it.
@@HollisKinghe did unfortunately
Driddy picked up a hot frying pan 🍳 with that one and got burnt
Yes we know, it's about black people versus everyone else. "They not like us." We all know who the "they" and the "us" is.
That crowd singing that "A minor" line is the funniest thing that will come about this year.
We still have the Superbowl next week, it could still be beaten, small chance.
Closest thing I've seen to people knowing about music within hours of it dropping was when D'angelo released Black Messiah but even that was like 12 hours. People had to go home and listen to it before they were talking about it on the train the next day
My only thoughts on grammys is that they make yummy cookies and comfy sweaters
Doechii definitely has the machine behind her right now. Although I have my issues with the music industry, I'm happy the machine is behind someone like her.
same
Bc shes spreading an agenda
@@Tom_bradys_unretirement what's the agenda? lmao
@@ArcaneInstall don't engage. 2025 is the year to expect more from people and their capability to critically think, or lack thereof in the above case
First time hearing her, it was shocking to hear a current artist rap on stage without immediately switching over to singing a melody instead of just rapping. But, she was not lyrical or anything special.
Lauryn Hill winning album of the year was probably the peak of Hip Hop at the grammys, Kendrick's moment right is now very close.
Just in hip hop alone, DMX, Outkast, Juvenile, Black Star, Big Pun, and Eightball all had better rap albums in 98. And those are just the most egregious, there were more than that. Most hip hop fans at that time didn't even like her album. Most of her actual fans were R&B and pop fans, and like 99% female.
The last song in my lifetime I saw blow up as fast and furious as NLU was Smells Like Teen Spirit in 1991, ngl.
Y’all kill me with the “yeah he only called out one person, what about the rest of them?” That’s exactly what the bozos who defend akademics say in some strange attempt to minimalize the message it sends. It gets the ball rolling. And i hope rappers keep it up and then i hope other people in higher offices take notice of the ruckus we stir up
Drake was a symbol. Taking down the symbol matters
Scruface Jean did his part with Akadiddy
Yall sound like you alls thoughts are not based in reality respectfully. Do yall really think Not like us is some kind of revolutionary song that will get the ball rolling on ending all PDF Files in the industry or something ?? I’m genuinely curious!!
Don’t get me wrong 😑 I absolutely adore Kendrick and yes the song 🎶 is absolutely fire and was/is a hit from jump! I mean my 6 and 8 year old children were singing it all summer lol 😂 and Kendrick definitely won the battle all that is true… But, if this whole take down of Drake is rooted in him being a PDF File then the entire industry including one yall refer to as “JeHoVA” that actually have an open PDF File case against him right now not only wouldn’t have been in attendance at the Grammys but Kendrick (whom I always thought of as a righteous brother at his core) wouldn’t be aligning himself with such a person. That’s just me though.
He played the song 5 times at the Grammy got 5 Grammys
I think one thing being lost in all of this is he just got industry wide acclaim in a song he says fuck the industry 😂
Which is why I love how lax he was! He wasn’t even present for his first 3 awards, walked up in all denim, casual, goofy-spirited acceptance speeches…like it’s all whatever to him lol
Rich people love being clowned on. It's weird.
@@kaedatiger I think it’s just an overcompensation to be like ‘see? you don’t have to say ‘fuck the industry’ bc we agree with you! good job!’
They are still winning because we are satisfied with our little song while in reality they continue to fuck us all over
Too bad when Public Enemy said "who gives a F about a GD grammy" back in 1988 it not generate the same type of artist support outside of hardcore rap.
I haven’t watched the video yet but it feels really bittersweet.. like at what point does the message get swept away in the commercial success.. esp since I feel like a large part of the beef was Drake’s vulturous commercialization of his own shaky relationship to his Blackness… and now we’re singing the song at the Grammy’s which does nothing but that. Taylor Swift waving her hand singing “not like us”.. Idk. The reason I’ve kept up with the beef and its aftermath as much as I have is because I believe its part of a much larger convo about capitalism’s predatory relationship with Black art and everything that comes with it (culture history trauma joy etc). And it’s not over, and won’t be over for a very long time…
deeply rocking with all of this
@@open_mike_eaglea That Point!
I’m a stuff can be two things kind of guy: everything you said is correct regarding the industry…
And yet I’m still incredibly entertained by this year long character assassination of the actor known as Drake. In fact, I’d argue that not only would Kendrick agree with you, I think that’s kind of the point. Like, I don’t think Kendrick is sitting in his room stewing because “oh they didn’t get my message” he knows exactly what he did. He used the industry against Drake, and now he’s reaping the rewards.
@@TheSkaOreo I don’t doubt that Kendrick is smart enough to have planned this all in advance; I think he’s been wanting to take Drake down since the Control verse, and the sneak shots on MM are barely even sneaky (I’m thinking specifically of Rich Spirit here). I think 6:16 in LA actually detailed a lot of his internal thinking about this, and on Watch the Party Die as well. I just worry, on a broader level, that the song calling Drake a pdf and even calling out the industry for harboring them getting played at The PDF Industry Party means the bigger issues that Drake represents aren’t going to actually be addressed. But again, I don’t think Kendrick feels he could’ve tackled those alone either-those larger issues have to do systemic racism and exploitation of women and girls, and no song is going to undo that, no matter how many streams it gets. TLDR: you’re right, I just feel weird watching it, I guess
Drake as a musician sucks as a person and artist so he’s treated as an open industry joke.
You know what Drake can do to begin his redemption?
He could just tweet or say:
“Well done Kendrick. You deserve it - you got me fair and square. You’ve made history.”
SOME SHIT LIKE THAT! lol give the man his props and he won’t be seen as petulant. It’s something more than him pouting and crying while losing weight. HIS TOUR IS DONE!
Everyone knows if he tweets that, that it wouldn't be honest.
Drake is a known liar, he talks as if he's unbothered than everyone that's close to Drake says it effects him deeply.
U buggin he called him a damn pedophile...its up!
Drake should try his best to make some good music and leave Kenny alone
Nah he called him a pedo. That's an insane allegation. Ain't no "well done" after he said that.
@@davidshmavid5 facts
lucian high fiving dre was the funniest clip of the night
Nooo!! tell me trolling
😂😂😂😂😂
Bro deserved it no doubt and I'm not shocked at all he won the amount of people that was blasting that song just had me like yeahhhh Kendrick definitely getting some type of award at the grammy's
I mean, why did Russell Simmons flee to Bali? I knew about R Kelly in the mid-1990s but I was barely 20 yrs old and a student. I had no evidence but the streets were talking way back then. I heard about Diddy from a friend who worked at Def Jam in the late 1990s. Heck, I saw Madonna pick up my teenage co-worker in her limo when I was in NYC (1990s).
I'll never watch the Grammys but love hearing your takes (commenting for algorithm). Unrelated, but have you heard of the anime/manga Tonkatsu DJ Agetarō? It's about a kid working at his family's tonkatsu restaurant while learning how to DJ; he finds parallels between the art of DJing and his fathers Tonkatsu cooking technique, it's really fun!
I haven't heard of that but it sounds very interesting
It’s not Kendrick job to deal with the systemic stuff, he BROUGHT ATTENTION and got people talking about it…which is more than most people have done
who said it was his job?
Who’s saying it isn’t and why does it matter?
Commenting before watching the video 😂
i appreciate your perspectives bro! been going back and watching the stony island pods too, all of this shit will be important to the history of hip hop archival and discussion someday. thanks bro!
thank you man. for real
@open_mike_eagle keep going 🫡✊🏾
Don't really need to look much further than this year's Grammy's itself to see that at the very least 'the Industry' isn't really taking this THAT seriously. Not saying they're co-signing anything but at the very least they're certainly not adopting any principled stances. Chris Brown, notable good singer and abusive POS, won a Grammy the same night Not Like Us won 5 Grammies.
You'd think in the same year that a diss track levelled at an ALLEGED abuser gets such a high level of recognition that they'd, at the very least, shy away from acknowledging or even celebrating the work of a KNOWN abuser. *In walks Chris Brown's 2nd grammy and 24th nomination*.
Just like taking your shoes off at the airport, this is all theatre. Theatre with a purpose mind you. Cause like literal theatre there's a buying-in to a very specific faux-reality. And in my opinion, the faux-reality in question is that 'The Industry' has, maybe not principles but, morals. And people love morals. Shows 'were 'on the same team'. That way we feel less bad in giving them our money lol
Great point, same with Dre.
In this sense, "record" means a particular recorded song, not its composition or an album of songs. Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song.
The Grammy's are a televised and celeb filled union meeting. The winners are voted by the registered members of the Recording Academy. It means more to them than it does to us being peer voted.
Ziggy starfish was one of my favorite songs the year it dropped. Just wanted you know while you're eating trail mix
thank you for the trail mix motivation
I think the song is bigger than both Drake and Kendrick because the "us" can be anybody and why "they not like us" can be any reason.
“Once upon a time all of *us* was in chains”
…No.
While it is up to interpretation it also is composed with very specific and unambiguous language
@@amamihe6465the “us” in the hook is Cali. The “us” in the third verse is black Americans. Thats how I took it.
I was thinking “this isn’t particularly unhinged” and then we got into the whole removing ribs stuff 😂 w opinions from eagle
Love your conversations , for unique takes on this stuff.
Record goes to performer… song goes to writer.
I was there. Busta walked out at that moment lol 12:39
wait which moment?
@ when the crowd sang A minor
@ his response was “THATS about to go viral”
In all honesty, I think that “industry insiders” and people in that room at the Grammys, who run in those circles…They know something about Drake that we are not privy to, that they are fraud to come out publicly and admit to. I think he actually had something to do with that rapper XXXtentacion getting killed and EVERYBODY knows it (among other nefarious dealings), and Drake is getting out of pocket with his ego and the social media bullshit. I know that Kendrick loved XXX like a little brother and was in the process of grooming him to be the next big rap flame holder…and his life was cut by Drake. It’s SOOOO personal and Kendrick is trying to make that boy suffer
It’s definitely some very deep seated spiritual shit. Their individual natures as people are at a direct crossroads in the industry. Kdot knows US west coast culture, the other guy is out of place. Everything that happened will come out one day.
"Loved XXX like a little brother " 😅bruhh these people don't know each other like that, Ya'll just be saying shit
@@prodKVLPhe did have XXX and Dram on his DAMN tour and both of those artists were at one point snaked by Drake. 🤷🏾♂️ Might be some truth to it.
@@LordHaveMurcielago Yeah that's called a feature not "Brotherhood",.. I mean he did have Drake features and look what happed
Please listen to Kendrick's song called "Peekaboo" very carefully
it is so interesting that Not Like Us was a song with massive stakes, it’s a single but it’s also a knockout blow and a reclaiming of hip hop at the end of a decade of build up. so it shows the stakes and beef and tension and all that can add a lot to the impact of a song compared to some pop single that is basically made in a vacuum and no one has any context outside of it
We can talk all day long about how pointless award shows are and I mostly agree. But I know I’m not the only one who’s now listening to Doechii after watching her acceptance speech and that’s a win for everyone.
6:15 she literally already had the most Grammies of anyone ever lol
Just wanted to state for the record: I'm a Joestar is severely underrated; definitely best anime inspired rap song of all time.
Perhaps a new Otherground rap category that should be considered? Tryna slide in before you leave and open another pack of salmon jerky.
thank you and too late on the pack opening!
@ Damn.
this channel is filling a much needed void
I had been led to believe that a Homeboy Sandman mention was obligatory. Alas. Back to guzzling V-8!
Drake tempted fate and someone handed kendrick a grammy
Gambling addiction
Peace King, Diddy has 30yrs+ on Drizzy, But Drake has been self snitching and there has been rumors for over a decade as well as pictures and actual video of his behavior with girls under the age of 21.
I watched it live last night but the stream quality was so bad, I couldn’t hear everybody sing A MINORRRRR that shit is hilarious
Please keep the videos coming, definitely clicking when you put stuff out!
He said “fck the industry” and they gave him 5 Grammys for it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You also have to remember that theres a lot of regular people there too. Its held at the Staples Center. So a lot of those regular folks were screaming "A Minorrrrrrr"
its invite-only though, yeah?
@@open_mike_eagle No. You and I can purchase Grammy tickets if we wanted. The floor tickets are invite only, where the celebs are. But the stand tickets are for sale.
I think your skepticism towards the Grammys is well-earned and well-placed. I feel much the same regarding the self-congratulatory aspect of the Grammys. I mean, apparently, Bob Marley netted a Grammy? Uh...what, exactly, is he supposed to do with it? I am old enough to remember when he died, (1980), and I am not entirely sure of who the grand performance of suddenly awarding him almost half a century later is for or who is supposed to be impressed by the 'train' that is predictably slow to catch on, wrong, and is (almost always) late....
If a win gives (select) artists more exposure, opportunities and prestige then so be it.
If the Grammys is temporarily 'blacking up' (this year) and finally acknowledging black artists then...okay, I guess? But it doesn't address, let alone change, the core power imbalance of a white industry having ability to occasionally and sporadically celebrate black artistry and innovation or routinely snub it while profiting off it and preferring to reward (pale) imitation. I think it was a more fun and enjoyable ceremony than it is usually is, but even if Kendrick's historic sweep, Beyonce finally netting a best album, or Doechii making a critical breakthrough doesn't change the nature of the beast.
How many years until Kendrick qualifies for Unc Fest?
we could never afford him
The key difference between Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Grammys is what aspect of the music they recognize:
Record of the Year honors the performance and production of a song. It is awarded to the artist, producers, engineers, and mixers who worked on the recording. This focuses on the way the song sounds.
Song of the Year recognizes the songwriting behind a track. It is awarded to the songwriters who wrote the lyrics and melody, rather than the artist or producers. This focuses on the composition of the song.
Something we need to remember is driddy already plans on going to Australia to feed his various addictions, namely young females. People have come out and talked about how his teams would seek out young ppl for him. Kendrick has only shown the spotlight on it, and with the industry on his side? Drake, He’s dust, but hasn’t been held accountable yet. His ego gets him into deeper and deeper shit. His day is coming.
"record" means a particular recorded song, not its composition or an album of songs. Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song.
only kendrick could win a grammy with a diss track😂 thats crazy
So on point about some of the people saying A Minor may be PDF files themselves. I felt that immediately.
It might be the most impactful rap song ever, not because its the best but because it hit when the internet existed. If Walk This Way happened post internet maybe a different conversation.
The industry is just that: an industry. I absolutely think that relationship between power and “taking advantage” is global, and universal. Too much of it is all through history, across cultures.. At the end of the day, this comes down to what matters materially. “Not Like Us” didn’t just win bc of cultural impact, but bc it was massively successful. It isn’t just valuable to Kendrick’s career and bank account, because the industry (UMG, etc) also is making bank, and that’s a factor (granted how could it not be). The cultural impact doesn’t hurt, for sure, but it’s idealistic and naive for anyone to think the Grammy academy (whatever they’re called), or UMG, “the industry”, whatever, is now going to reflect on that impact, what it means, and then act accordingly. I gotta assume people thinking this are on the younger side (no shade, bless yr hearts).
Anyway, I feel you on your attitude to the Grammys overall. I haven’t cared since I was a teenager, but I definitely DID care back then. Sh!t, I remember Eminem rapping “Stan” with Elton John singing the chorus and playing piano. Honestly, the dopamine hit I got was massive.. That’s not the first big example of hiphop mattering at the Grammys, but it did matter at the time. I’m fairly sure he got a bunch of Grammys that night, and it fed into the discourse about him being white and maybe stealing glory VS being a gateway drug to kids getting into hiphop (at least at my high school). Maybe that was the Grammys gateway drug too? Idk, but I think OutKast won a Grammy that night too (for Miss Jackson)? I definitely remember OutKast cleaning up a couple years after that with Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, that was some serious love for hiphop from the Grammys, though a couple of my friends argued with me that OutKast isn’t real hiphop, just pop nonsense.. No joke. Needless to say, I had to point them towards ATLiens…
Diddy vs Drake:
Drake is (alleged to be) a bad man who has a number of victims of varying degrees.
Diddy industrialized his bad man-nerisms to the point that he's driven the bad to overshadow some actual cults. I want someone to compare numbers with like Branch Davidians or NVidia (or whatever the modern one is called.)
I think you mean NXIVM. Nvidia is a computer chip company.
@@JonConstruct Ty! yes I was worried if I looked it up YT app would crash with my wordy comment in tow lol
I thought Nvidia would be a funny standin. Not a funny topic tho really
The grammys are bs no matter who wins
She cares about it. She talks about it on CC.
went completely over my head unsurprisingly
Well…. Maybe Drake shouldn’t have dragged Freeeeeeeeeeeeee. lol! I like to hear your thoughts on all this. You’re right. I’ve never seen a song take off like that but it was calculatedly made to stick in every possible way.
When my husbands nephew was singing it I knew it was over for the boy.
Mike, how would you look at Arcade Fire’s Album of the Year win in 2010?
Is it before the system of lobbying you explained really came into affect,
Is it an anomaly, or is it something completely different?
that album came out through Sony so I would suspect it was lobbied for like the rest. no slight to any of these projects, it's just part of how all of this works
“has anything like this happened in history”
yeah, No Vaseline.
seriously?
"I been in the industry for 12 years and I'll tell yall one little secret/ There's some weird shi going on and some of these artists are here to police it"
I just finished that Quest love book last week
7:54 😂😂😂 taking its ribs out and 🌬️
Fair enough they're not gonna stop him playing the song but I feel like they'll censor it, even if he's not explicitly cursing. He censored himself saying "And we hate popo, wanna kill us dead in the streets fo sho".
Record = everyone involved (Mustard and the production engineers etc)
Song = just the song writer (just Kendrick)
I specifically like that you have a unique opinion on these topics revolving around Kendrick. I've noticed that specifically with the Grammys a lot of other rap commentary is very samey.
19:16 I don't care how many people sing the a minor line at the super bowl, all those execs at the NFL are quite happy to see one wealthy black person tear down another wealthy black person (even if Drake deserves it); let's see if he has the swag to actually say that he hates popo this time... Kendrick is an entertainer first and foremost, he ain't doing nothing but securing the bag.
don't worry Mike, the plan is to obsess over the writing ones, so much they feel weird about how much emphasis they place on everything else over the ones that matter (MAYBE fucking production ones aside because those categories are always hyper-competitive, for better or worse)
the hook is pretending down is up heavy is light. 'ol walt disney :)
The pinnacle? She doesn't even write her own lyrics, Kendrick is the pinnacle
its two different genres
A wrestling fan will always appreciate a crowd pop
Yeah i thought CC was mid as hell and I LOVED Lemonade, it was so good. That shit shook my soul.
It's crazy that a country album of any kind won in pop's biggest year in a while.
Im just happy Doechii and Chappell got their flowers. Boy did they blow my mind. Still hell of issues in the industry though.
Unc, how you feel about Kendrick Lamar winning 5 Grammys for a diss song towards Drake but 0 awards for Good Kid Maad City?
I had a thought about Doechiis blow up and her recognition at the grammys. I feel like i'm gonna need help filling in some gaps and being corrected here. This ones for the curmudgeons.
I feel like it has been a hot minute since we've seen a woman hitting such cerebral and conceptual art being put on by corporate? Like the mainstream suit push is all I mean here. In my experience I mostly see women like doechii get held back by them every chance they get.
I say this 'cause we are coming off the back of a decade of pushing a lot of very surface level, sexually charged music. And all of that music is cool too, dont get me wrong. I love seeing all that stuff exist even if I'm that autistic that any music about flirting/sex may as well be written in a foreign language. But I think by the length of this fucking comment y'all can tell I'm more in the lyric nerd camp. hahahaha.
But I wonder what the broader industry conversation becomes. Im I crazy for being worried that the media sensationalists are gonna pivot for more dumb infighting between harmless genres of music? Especially when we're in an era of calling out the real harmful freaks within the industry be they public figures or not. I fucken hope im crazy for that one cause I'm really tired of that shit and would rather focus on dealing with the real problems.
Personally I just want to end the way the mainstream cycles out a single genre and pushes it until its stale, moving on to the next. There's people making sick tunes in every genre all the time, idk why we cant put em all on with each other. I want to see rappers, metal bands, punk bands, pop/dance artists, post rock bands and country and blues singers all tourin' with each other. We all fuck with each other's music enough. It has to be financially viable somehow. Let all the genres blend. Give me some lyrically dense cerebral conceptual shit thats still like hypersexual so i can study the bars and shake my ass at the same time.
Unrelated to the video itself kinda, never stop uploading these please. I love people talking videos. You are exceptional at people talking.
The pdfs are co-opting the song and the message. Not like US is a powerful anti-establishment message as much as anything, and it is being taken over so that it means whatever these rich people want us to think.
"He's gonna say it" lollllll

NOW IF HE COMES W/DA ELEPHANT N MIGRANTS UR YEAR IS SET 2 MONTHS IN😂😂
Issue is Drake who is absolutely a guilty party being singled out is also kind of a smokescreen for other guilty parties.
The attention is solely on him while the industry that enabled him and had no issue with enabling him until he targeted them, gets to feign ignorance and act like an innocent party.
People are taking a moral stance against Drake but it rings hollow if it ends at Drake since the industry is filled with people like and also people worse than Drake.
As much of a Drake hater I am I still hate UMG more and that fact that people are acting like they're a positive force cause they aligned against Drake is concerning.
