Harry 26,836 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't think it's anything to do with her opinions or race. The Grammys and VMAs are both jokes for the most part in 2015 and it's all about popularity. Just look at the rap categories at the Grammys... it's always mainstream artists, that's just how it is. Hence Iggy's noms this year.Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Ella Fitzgerald, Leontyne Price, Shirley Caesar, Chaka Khan, Cece Winans and Mary J Blige are all black women that dominate the list of females with most Grammy wins. Rihanna and Nicki have also been nominated multiple times with Rih picking up a couple, so I don't think race/gender is the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 139,056 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Doesn't she need to be relevant first to get one nominee , at least? like...her career is mostly dead...This^. The only reason I even know she exists is because the "beef" with Gaga. Also, opinionated isn't exactly what I'd call her...more like whining...Recognition is nice, but awards don't mean diddly. They mean even less when you whine about not getting them. 💚 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 13,494 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You have to laugh at her specifics. Not just black people, but black women and opinionated ones too. She's making more and more specifics so that we're finally caught out. She'll be saying "opinionated black women who make alternative music and don't work with mainstream artists" next. You just need to look at the noms and wins in Grammy history to realise that race is not an issue, nor is being opinionated. You'd think Kanye would embody all the stereotypes of the scary black man that a supposed racist institution like the Grammys would hate but no, he has 21 Grammys out of 53 nominations. So, I think that shuts down all notions of a racist institution. Azealia is so full of herself, it's unreal. She will think about any excuse for her music flopping and it's never to do with its quality, promotion or her attitude. Plenty of talented people don't win Grammys, it doesn't mean you're terrible or are being discriminated against.Who? Name me 5...Adding to the ones that have already been said by others in answer to your question...Beyonce (20)Aretha Franklin (18)Mary J Blige (9)Janet Jackson (6)Missy Elliott (4)Lil Kim (1)Plenty more but they aren't considered "opinionated" so it doesn't fit the ridiculously specific criteria. And you'll probably say "this was before they were opinionated" but that really has nothing to do with race. Plenty of artists get snubbed when they become opinionated and they can be of any race.
