k but her argument is solely about chart performance.

Bon Iver maybe won Grammys but Nicki’s lyrics are still quoted in wedding, funerals and on national television.

that's why she's wrong.

One of them won the award and the other has unmatched wordplay and flow

And yet miraculously Beyoncé leads the pack with 9 nominations this year, 70 nominations overall with the most noms of any female artists ever and 2nd most wins, with Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and more in the all time lists, and yet Nicki still finds a racial slant to why she isn’t getting nominations. I just don’t get it. By all means, she’s been snubbed unfairly, as many others have, but that angle I’m just not sure about honestly. Maybe I’m missing something here.

actually this proves that she should just shut up

The way y’all gotta share this on here just so she can get dragged for the millionth time just to feed your egos. 

But she’s absolutely right.  Although, the Grammys aren’t *always* about chart performance. But at the same time, they’re certainly not *always* about quality either.  (See: Invasion of Privacy noms over Queen)

She hasn't been nominated in 5 years and shes still crying about it. she should take the L and go home. Katy Perry did it and she seems happy

Bon Iver was and is nowhere near Nicki's level of success

But I guess that begs the question of what is a "Best" New Artist? Maybe they just didn't like her artistry lol

Regardless, I do think she was snubbed.

commercial success is not the measure by which grammies are awarded. /end thread

Pathetic lol. Of course she has more hits, she jumps on every collaboration she can. Bon Iver doesn't need those hits, I just started listening to them after hearing Taylor Swift's Exile and can't believe I've been missing on that incredible voice. Definitely better than Nicki's yelling.

Okay, but Bon Iver make amazing music, whereas...

[Lucas 30,479]

People have to stop screaming "racists!" every time the Grammy don't award a black artist. Beyonce is a proof that they're not, considering the amount of nominations/wins she always gets 

[Cssomeone 1,712]

'Bon Iver' by Bon Iver is one of the best albums of all time. Justin Vernon (the white man Nicki Pedophilaj talks about) has more talent on his left thumb than she'll ever have.
