Teletubby 114,791 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 For many music fans and insiders, critiquing the Grammy nominations is an annual pastime. And each year, the Academy seems to find new and interesting ways to wind up observers. When the 2021 nominations dropped last year, the main knock was a complete shutout for the Weeknd. This time around, the issues are a little more complex. There are some noteworthy omissions among the 2022 field â no women in any of the rock categories; no Spanish-language or West African artists in any of the majors â but more concerning than who was left out is who was included. This yearâs nominees include Louis C.K., who earned a Best Comedy Album nod, following sexual-misconduct accusations, as well as alleged abuser Marilyn Manson and much-criticized rapper DaBaby (who came under fire this summer for making homophobic remarks onstage), both of whom are nominated for their roles on Kanye Westâs Donda. DaBaby also picking up another nomination for Justin Bieberâs Justice (Triple Chucks Deluxe). The Academy also recognized Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, for his contributions to the deluxe edition of Doja Catâs Planet Her and Saweetie's Best Friend. Dave Chappelle is nominated for the Netflix special 8:46 Despite being apparently banished and their careers halted, they were all nominated for Grammys in 2022, one of the worldâs top music awards. A few years after former Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said that women need to âstep upâ in order to be recognized in the industry, the organization seems to have taken another step back. source source The Recording Academyâs CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said the Recording Academy wonât take into account anyoneâs personal history when determining eligibility for its awards He said: âWe wonât restrict the people who can submit their material for consideration. We wonât look back at peopleâs history, we wonât look at their criminal record, we wonât look at anything other than the legality within our rules of, is this recording for this work eligible based on date and other criteria. If it is, they can submit for consideration.â source i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my â*·ê€. âïžeternal enemyđ©ïžïœĄËâ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This yearâs nominees were decided by 11,000 musicians, producers, songwriters and sound engineers who actually make up the music industry. So I guess the entire music industry is trash OT: This is all because of everyoneâs unhealthy obsession with Kanye West. If they hadnât nominated Kanye, two of these abusers wouldâve never seen a nomination in these times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're still mostly trash. And nominating these disgusting men only proves that further. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessionalClown 9,564 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Okay but Manson shouldâve been nominated for We Are Chaos as itâs one of his best since HolyWood (I liked it more than TPE and HUD). The entire album is a return to form for him and whew, it was emotional ngl. Paint You With My Love and Broken Needle are masterpieces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
