Lighter 15,376 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 out of her 28 awards which led her to breaking the record, she only has 1 in the 4 major categories. of course she should be grateful but it does feel like an act of othering in a way, cause the way they set her aside in the urban categories which she has no competition in cause she’s seen as the greatest feels racially motivated and the give-her-everything-R&B factor looks like a cover up to them not letting her get any of the general field awards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 26,708 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I don't want to sound rude but this is kinda typical of Beyoncé fans... In the same post you say she broke record and you say the Grammy's are racists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,350 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 AOTY recipients in the last decade: 2020 - Taylor Swift 2019 - Billie Eilish 2018 - Kacey Musgraves 2017 - Bruno Mars 2016 - Adele 2015 - Taylor Swift 2014 - Beck 2013 - Daft Punk 2012 - Mumford & Sons 2011 - Adele 2010 - Arcade Fire I have to laugh. Rap, Hip-hop, and R&B are completely integrated into the American mainstream (much to many of your disappointments, i know) but still not allowed any mainstream prestige. Ironically, the 90’s and 80’s had more black artists with AOTY’s, but, considering this decade gave us Donald Trump, maybe I’m not so surprised.

freebit 6,240 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 It's ridiculous at this point that albums like Beyonce & Lemonade were mostly regulated to genre catagories or smaller ones like Best Surround Sound. Those were huge albums in every sense, yet we got Taylor Swift with three AOTYs, and new people like Billlie walking around with one, as well as Bruno winning for all-bops-but-little-substance albums like 24K Magic. I don't even dislike all three of those artists, but it's very weird and sus when you think about it. You can say, "well, she didn't write those albums, grammy's prefer songwriters." But what's the excuse for why Kendrick was shut out? It all follows a very familar pattern. 38 minutes ago, bionic said: Does make you wonder how Bruno managed to slip through the net, doesn't it?

The United States (and much of Latin America) was founded on a system that relied on the idea of race and hierarchical racial classes. Are you European? Maybe this isn’t a problem for you, but this is the reality of the Americas. It’s the reason the United States, despite being the most wealthy country on earth, can’t have standard social programs that exist in most European countries.
