Grammys: Are the awards prejudiced against rap music?

**jeannieD** · 02-10-2012, 04:45 PM

From the moment The Recording Academy decided to recognize rap/hip-hop as a separate and legitimate form of musical expression by designating a specific category to award the genre at the Grammy Awards, the two have had a tenuous relationship. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince took home that first award for best rap performance in 1988, but they, alongside a number of rap acts at the time, boycotted the ceremony because their category would not be a part of the national telecast. It's been a constant battle for recognition ever since.

The Grammys are also coming under fire for their decision to cut a sizable number of categories from their roster, a move some, like Rev. Jesse Jackson who has floated the idea of a boycott, have argued would lead to less inclusion of diverse musicians.

These untalented, ungrateful organ grinder's monkeys are lucky to have a category at all. As far as The Grammy's not televising the category's awards? Who wants to see rape apes stomping, posturing and posing on a stage while spewing nigger babble about drugs, guns, bitches and money? Let Jesse form a boycott, I'm sure the entertainment industry will be devastated that a bunch of niggers aren't bringing the ghetto, their gin and juice and their gats to an upscale event.

There is nothing morr disenchanting than hearing rap, hiphop and r&b. It was cute back in the day when nigger music artists had human managers but now its unbearable.

Who gives a fuck? How many all-black award shows do they have now?

What's biggest in nigger music, especially rap is the "look at me" bull shit. The nigger is always talking about how much money he has and how he has all the sows and coalburners he can handle. Why the hell would any self respecting human listen to that worthless shit? Wiggers of course aren't self respecting humans. If I listened to Metallica (or any other band for that matter) all day self praising themselves I would deem them stuck up ass holes.

A Grammy is an award for music. Since cRap isn't music it doesn't deserve any Grammys.

Exactly, how on earth can they stand that bragadocious babble? You would think with their inflated, delusional, fragile nigger egos they would feel like shit listening to Jay-Z rap about his new mansion, Lamborghini, iced bling and "making it rain" after their car was repossessed and EBT cash ran out. Gawd niggers are dumb.
