Andreu 37,216 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 How about making the ceremony more inclusive for songs and albums in other languages too and not have the songs from latin artists separated in a whole other awards show? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 76,616 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I said this earlier. Glad they're making this change. That said, expect those acts, like The Weeknd, to be nominated in the pop categories. i.e. bye bye Grammy for Chromatica. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the Grammys are an american award show. There should be a worldwide award show that does this, though. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 18,859 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Urban music is a term in musicology that has nothing to do with race tho. Its not really incorrect to call hip hop urban music. Tho id need to actually a bit better before making such a statement tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could argue that latino is ok because it refers to Latin languages and makes sense since the music is in spanish/Portuguese Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For them, black music = urban music, and that's obviously racist. Glad they wont do that sh*t ever again am i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-p-plastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a worldwide award show that does this, though. But there are many artists who sing in spanish and are still from the US, and a pop song sung in spanish (or whatever language) is still pop, a rap song in spanish is still a rap song etc, they aren't a different genre just because they are sung in a different language.
