The time is now here as far as the people coming together to watch one of, if not the greatest award show when it comes to recognizing our musicians. Because of course, me personally, I think the Billboard Awards is more of a litmus scale for who ran 2024. for it. Because if you don't know, as far as the Grammys, which the 67th Grammy Award show will take place one day after my birthday, fun fact, February 2nd, 2025, and ultimately, the people who vote on the Grammys is members of the Recording Academy, which consists of music professionals like performers, songwriters, producers, and engineers. So essentially, it's your peers who come together and vote for who should win what award. You know? So there's a lot of interesting dynamics when it comes to that. Because, of course, relationships as far as wanting to keep them or as far as wanting to destroy them as far as showcasing your power in certain instances comes into a. affect when certain people win a Grammy.

So I'm not going to hate on some of the nominations, but I will point out that if it was more objective, a lot of these names would be completely gone from the list. That's all I want to say. As far as certain albums making certain list, as far as album of the year, song of the year, I think the Billboard Awards, which is solely objective. you know and goes off of album sales digital digital song sales radio airplay streaming and social media metrics which is why it's my favorite award show because objectively speaking there's no way to skew who's going to win what award throughout the year they look at the numbers and they give it to the highest performer so that's what i prefer because when it comes to subjective lane a lot of things are up for interpretation and then you get to recognize a lot of politics or play i mean in life in general but more so when you have your peers coming together to vote for these

awards so other than objective metrics and just looking at who dominated analytically it's more of a quote-unquote quality level of subjective metric as when killer mike won I think it was best rap album when Travis Scott was nominated for Utopia. I think that's the prime example of exactly what I'm talking about. Because of course, I call myself analytic dreams on this podcast, which the overall podcast is titled, Notorious Mass. So you should already know based off those two names that I love to focus on the analytics and the data. But honestly, I've started to reiterate this sentiment as far as,

getting people to understand that just because you make great quality music does not mean you're going to have great sales. A prime example is Big Sean Corday and this is more of a hot topic because some people are hot and cold on her but lotto. Those three particular artists I think is victim to making good to great quality music and not selling as much that you would think they deserve. So that's why I always say when I go over numbers is not simply outselling or the chart toppers that makes it the best music ever created. It's basically something I use to provide a litmus scale for the amount of, for the amount of anticipation these superstars can build up competing against one another because we're all competing for somebody's

time right the people who's watching this right now you know shout out to analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio version i can't even talk and then of course sign up to my patreon to get the unedited and ad free version of this episode but essentially i'm vying for your time and everybody else is also going against each other to try to get a listen a download watch time all type of metrics are being competed for so when that's a competition just because you outsell somebody does not mean you make higher quality content it just basically means the anticipation that you can build up on an objective scale as far as analytics is higher than your peers so that's really the only reason i go over numbers because when people talk

about, oh, something sold 20,000 first week, so it flop. And so it's trash. I'm like, how does that correlate? I mean, flop is one thing trash. I'm like, that's totally subjective. Big Shine, even though I called his album, a NyQuil album. I can still recognize the top tier lyricism, even though it seemed like he was performing in his bed. But, you know, overall, the lyrics is at a certain level to where just because he sold, what, 20-some thousand first week does not mean that the quality level is.

below average it just means that the anticipation level is not what it once was so now objectively speaking analytically speaking he is not the same level of impact as a musician that he used to be when you know he put out his classic dark skies paradise so i just had to clarify that because a lot people get it confused when i go over numbers and they think i'm comparing it to quality when that's just never the case so anyways speaking on quality the 67th grammy award show will take place february 2nd 2025 and of course doing my due diligence i have the 58 page document up on the screen right now for everybody to read along with me and don't worry we're not going to spend too much time on this 58 page document because obviously i know how to go through it and basically i'm going to

give my predictions and what in who I think is going to win simply off of politics because if it was the Billboard award show we will already know who's going to win right I mean this is solely objective when it comes to the Grammys so as far as who's going to win is more politics and behind the scenes campaigning that a lot of people as far as the average fan are unaware of so that's what I'm here for so anyways let's get into it The Recording Academy did introduce 94 categories as far as marking the Grammys as the award show with the most categories. And of course, as far as totality, women artists really showed out this year.

I kept saying it time and time again because I remember when Joe Budden came out and ignorantly said that the women rappers have fallen off, which just ultimately, ultimately, told me that he just does not listen to the music landscape at all, which is why he's out here promoting a lot of TD artists, because he's just completely oblivious to what's the actual music landscape. Because once again, relationships, wanting to get certain interviews with certain high top tier people who may or may not just put out like the biggest rap song ever, even though he said he doesn't want to, but he's interviewing and promoting every TD artist. I wonder why. So anyways, Um, even though Kendrick's not under TD, but Kendrix also close ties with a top dog,

which is why he posted a Dosci's album for anybody trying to say like, Kendrick's not part of TD, but technically family ties is always going to be there. I mean, did y'all even listen to the album, Dale? You know, so anyways, um, that being said, the music landscape is something I've been paying attention to to a point where I think the analysis I have over the entire list is probably above average compared to most hip hop heads because of the several genres that I've talked about as far as extensively and a lot of different musicians. So of course with that being said, I've been saying that women artists was putting on for hip hop. If it wasn't for Kanye going number one as an

independent artist with Voltures 1 and the Voltron team coming together to go at Drake, we would have been talking about Glorilla. We would have been talking about sexy red, for the entire year. I mean, there was a stat out where sexy red had the same amount of chart topping songs as Drake. So just to put that in perspective, sexy red and Glorilla currently really have been pushing the genre forward to a point where I don't think they're getting their due diligence. And I don't know why. But you know, people love to overlook Glorla and Sexy Red as far as their impact on 2024 when it comes to the hip hop number. as currently Gloria's album, Glorious, that came out, let me see, this album came out. So as far as October 11th, 2024, Glorious came out in this November 12th. So a month and of course plus a day after this album is still the 11th most played album

in the world. So with that type of longevity, obviously that is why I'm giving her so much. respect when it comes to her impact on hip hop in general and is why i'm so glad that she actually received a grammy nomination because she's well deserving of it and i'm not sure if sexy red had one obviously when they get into the list in a second this is going to be extensive segment we're going over to grambies it's not just some random award show so of course get your popcorn you know make your meal or however you love to consume uh long form content we're going to be diving deep into this because this is essentially the big dogs of the music industry competing against one another

behind the scenes of course because you have to campaign if you don't submit they're not going to put you up for an award which is why drake which is why the weekend would not get any nominations for their music because they don't submit only time you will see them is if they're attached to a song because that artist submitted the track but yeah you still have to submit your songs no matter how big you are for the gramis so with that being said of course I think I was looking at, let me see. Yeah, I think I had the whole list right here. Okay, so sexy red currently has the 10th.

Oh, okay, so this is Tyler the creators track. Title Sticky with, of course, Glorilla, SexyRae and Little Wayne. Talking about the Avengers, right? So I think she also has another track. Yeah, what you know about me with, you guessed it, Glorilla. It's the 30th most play song in the world right now, and it's been on a chart for about four weeks.

So when I talk about women rappers putting up numbers in 2024, that technically are male counterparts, you know, aside from the top tier, like Kendrick Drake, they're out of here. As far as the modern day rappers, the savages, the Uzzies of the world, consistently being on the charts, Glorilla and Sexy Red has been leading the modern day pack as far as rappers. I mean, unless you don't want to count Tommy Richman, y'all want him, right? Of course not. So as far as rap, actually, you know, rappers, Glorilla and SexyRab been leading the pack for hip hop. So anyways, with that being said, let's get back into the Grammys when it comes to the 94 categories, marking it the award show with the most categories in the women having majority of the success with the domination of categories like Record of the Year. album of the year best pop solo performance best r and b performance best american a best americana excuse me best americana performance and then best folk album and best latin pop album and of course more specifically the one the one and only queen b has 11 nominations reaching 99 career

nominations the most of any artist of all time ladies and gentlemen i don't know who has ever see that again. I talk about Drake's success all the time analytically, but what Beyonce has managed to do as far as public perception, as far as her perception from her peers, I don't know what it is, but she is ultimately one of the most beloved artists of all time, maybe the most like musician of all time. I mean, her sister gave Jay-Z a 40-hit combo like it was off a streetfighter and they still was like, you know what, he probably deserved it because Beyonce was just right there letting her get off her combo like she was in practice mode, right? So anyways, Beyonce is the most like artists of all time. I'm comfortable saying that because even other musicians that have had success like a Beyonce has went through a lot of turmoil as far as, let's just say behind the scenes, right?

we don't have to get into michael jackson you know rest in peace to the dead but y'all know what type of uh allegations they threw that man's way after he passed away so as far as biance being this top tier and still being generally liked from appears in the public is for for this long is insane another artist that we could get into as far as having the same sentiments towards that particular artist is taylor swift because of course that's the biggest gangster in there's in the industry i mean who else was going to bring universal music group back to ticot i mean taylor swift basically told them if they don't come to some sort of agreement with ticot then she was going to weaponize her fan base just like she did against scuderbron because if you think that

umg artist was not hurting obviously wasn't too for the top tier artists it wasn't too crazy but definitely for mid-tier to independent well not independent but for for up and coming acts under Universal Music Group. TikTok being taken away as a marketing tool was definitely hurting. So when Taylor Swift stepped to UMG, which is like reports behind the scenes on how they even came up to a middle ground during negotiations because Taylor Swift basically pulled, you know, a stunt like that as far as her always being on the side of the creator. So Taylor Swift is always going to be on the positive. side of reception um a positive side of perception and hopefully that stays the case but you never know because of course the amount of chiefs games she she goes to i mean you just never know when

those uh chiefs are going to turn on you as far as a fan base but hey that's another story for another day so anyways as i said biancé leaves with 11 nominations um 99 career nominations the most of any artist and then also she holds 32 Grammy wins the highest ever so that speaks for it so Taylor Swift has her fourth consecutive album of the album of the year nomination for the tortured poet's department which is a phenomenal name by the way and it's and it's the first woman with seven total nominations in the category so with that being said of course the major nominations is about to get into in a second. Actually, major nominations

is about to get into right now. So anyways, so now we can turn our attention to the 58-page document that I swear is less intimidating that it looks because, of course,

your boy dreams is here to simplify and break it down for y'all. So when... Hold up. One second. I flip this right quick. I think I flipped it. Okay, cool.

All right. let's get into let's get into the first category which is record of the year actually should we start with that should we let's just work our way up you know what let's go all the way down let's start at 58 this this is how y'all be acting in college classes let's just start from the bottom and go up right just forget uh what you what you learn we use the little kid all right so starting from 58 going to number one of course we start with classical everybody's favorite genre am i right right so anyways um if i don't know anything about the category i'm gonna skip it so with that being said let's just skip this right quick so classical i don't know when none of these categories mean

classical you know hey god be with them you know sorry for your loss or you know uh what they say congratulations or sorry for your loss i ain't reading all that so let's just uh keep going production engineering do i know any no wait is that willow that willow stop making music anyways um i don't know if this is actually willows let me make sure and i do have my handy dandy search engine because of course i do my due diligence over here can't be spreading um false information so the entry willow big feelings uh oh willow smith okay that's interesting i did not know that willow was still putting out music but hey shout out to the smiths for still making history.

I mean, when I tell you all that Will Smith's book Will is one of the greatest books I've ever read, I think people underestimate the highest achiever ever on planet Earth. Now, like, that's a little of exaggeration, but he's up there. Top 20, top 10, as far as an entertainer, obviously somebody going to bring up somebody who invented the light bulb and houses and stuff. I'm talking about entertainment. top tier achiever of all time. I mean, the amount of achievements this man has under his belt,

I would feel so disrespectful if I was Will Smith coming back to rap and they was talking to me the way they do. I mean, come on now. Like, as far as being the first rapper ever to win a Grammy and then go on into a whole another career that's so successful that makes people forget that you did that. I mean, come on now. The disrespect to Will Smith, when it comes to hip hop, which is where his roots a lot. If you read the book, I had no idea

it was so heavily infused into Will Smith as far as his hip hop elements and his roots. So anyways, that's just a side tangent. But shout out to Willow, right? Another one of Will Smith's, you know, greatest creations as far as achieving on this earth.

With that being said, I don't let Jada know I gave him those compliments, right? She attacked me or something. You know what I mean? Try to embody Tupac herself. Anyways, for that. production engineering composition and arrangement um i don't know any of these so we're going to skip that production engineering don't know that uh we're going to keep going production i mean if i don't see parks from the joe buttoning podcast i'm not trying to see it you know what i'm saying shout out the

parks um packages notes and historical nope children's comedy it's at rocky what in the world what is this he has a oh best music video i'm tripping it's just the category best recording package okay so that makes more sense you know if i can actually read you know that would be helpful all right so this is the first one where i actually know a little bit of okay so let's start with uh best wait actually best music film i don't even know what that is i don't see the idol on here even though the idol probably uh if you don't know for the grammies um i do believe that as far as submitting it's um actually it said at the top let me just do this right quick and go all the way to the top uh okay so these are for recordings released during the eligibility year september 16th

2023 through august 30th 24 so when people get confused on why certain tracks or albums didn't make the list that is why because the eligibility period is for September 16th, 2023 through August 30th, 2024. Now, usually it's during

October 1st of the previous year through September 30th. But they changed it for the 67th Grammy Award show. So that's why some people a little confused on why certain albums or tracks didn't make the nominations,

which we're going to get to in the second. because one of the albums did come out in this time span. And y'all going to stop disrespecting her. That's why I talk about the billboard and things of that nature, because obviously high sales does not mean it was amazing quality. But I guess I get to it now. The disrespect to Nicky Minaj has to stop. I mean, Nicky Minaj is one of the greatest hip-hop musicians of all time.

And for her to never win a Grammy is the equivalent to win Leonardo DiCaprio took forever to win an Oscar. I don't even know if he, I think he won an Oscar for like the Bear movie or whatever, but all of the classic material that Leonardo DiCaprio was in and he never had to win. This is more e this is more egregious because Nikki, let me see, Nikki as far as Grammy nominations as not even nominated. And the album, Pink Friday 2, I'm on record. saying that was my favorite album of last year not two not three not four not five that was my

favorite album of last year the versatility was beyond on display as far as um what niki was doing as a musician so this came out december 8th 2023 that falls in line as far as the eligibility and of course people want to say she didn't submit but i think somebody on her team did end up submitting for Pink Friday 2. Obviously, I'm not going to fact check that because I'm pretty sure that they submitted or else the Bihive wouldn't be up in arms because I think they submitted everybody, FTCU, and then obviously Pink Friday 2 for album of the year. Everybody, FTCU, I've already said that.

And then there was another one. There was another one. I forget. Let me just look at the track list now I can remember. And then it was R&B for Best Melodic track. Because just from memory, I remember seeing somebody from a team posting it. Because all you need is one person from your team to submit it for the Grammys. It doesn't have to be the actual artist page.

You can have your team submitted, right? So anyways, Nick and the Grammys have some undisclosed beef that we've never, we haven't heard the truth of why they hate on Nikki's so obviously, right? the amount of obvious hate blatant hate plain as day hate when it comes to nicky not receiving any nominations is insane after she just put out what i think is her best album of all time obviously the barbs are going to come after me but i do think pink friday too

is up there as far as nicky's best album of all time so with that being because from from start to finish i don't even like compliment jermain like this but that's probably one of his better verses ever in his career that he put on that album and um that's just one track i mean don't get me started on rnb um f tc u just the bars on red ruby the sleeves like and then the super freaky girl that obviously was a hit last year a longstanding hit like i just don't understand and a lot of people was like oh 2023 she should have had nominations well um my brother this album came out december 8th 2023 so no it shouldn't have that's not how it works it would have been for the 24 Grammy award show and now with the 2025 with the 67 annual Grammy award show saying that it's

september 16th 2023 to august 30th 2024 the grammy award show won't happen to February 2nd 2025 so it's for the 2025 gram 25th year year show not the 2020s show not the 23. I know some of y'all confused, but it's okay. Just rewind and then play it again. But anyways, Nikki has been nominated in the past. Like the My Chick Bad when she featured on Ludacris's track, of course, back in 2011. But this is a huge discussion that's never really been deeply had by the higher-ups. And by higher-ups, I mean the people who was actually voting. Like why is Nikki getting just outcasted and blackballed from Grammy nominations? Like who?

Because obviously she made somebody upset. Who did she make upset when it comes to people coming together to vote for who wins these awards or even getting nominated? I mean, we're not asking for too much. A nomination, we're talking about Nikki Mina. She can't get a nomination for Pink Friday, too. Like, let's be actually serious. It's like, Nikki is probably the most disrespected artist of all time when it comes to the Grammys. So I think that correlates with some other things, but I'm not going to get too deep into that because I'm not, you know, I don't want to get too, you know, deep on y'all.

But let's just say Nikki and her origins and the way she looks and her being a female. there's just some real discussions that needs to be had like how it's only so much hate you can harboring your heart my brother from one individual to not give her Grammy nominations time and time and time and time again like when is enough enough because if this was you they had the same accomplishments as Nikki Minaj it was not ever even recognized for the Grammys you would be upset despite having hits like super freaky girl which topped the Billboard Hot 100 there's nowhere nowhere to be found when artists like I'm not even going to pit two women against each other I'm not even going to do that but y'all know the artists that they've been

nominating in this upcoming Grammy award show do not have nearly the amount of accomplishments that Nikki had on Pink Friday too but somehow they've found their way on a rap category anyways it's a real discussion to be had but I ain't going to have it right now I just wanted to shout out Nikki because I don't know how you do it like that's just i mean i think she announced like a deluxe edition for pink friday too but i would be i would be beyond irate like the amount of animosity and the ultimate just fury i would have i think would be uncontrollable especially accomplishing as much as nicky did with pink friday too anyways um which came out in this eligibility period by the way for the people trying to say oh it's not eligible

and her one of her team actually let me see because people try to let me pull this up Nikki submits Grammy I don't know if they'll pull it up I think it should pull it up okay so Nikki Minaj is 2024 Grammy submissions Barbie World record of the year song of the year best rap song right you look at the numbers of Barbie World is not out of the realm obviously record of the year is kind of a stretch song of the year but best rap song of the year but best rap song I can see it being on there. Last time I saw you, best melodic rap performance, song of the year. Both of those make sense.

Red Ruby the Slees, best rap performance easily. Best rap song easily, right? Then you have other tracks that she submitted. Let's see. Okay, let me just pull up the list because, all right. So look at this list right here. For the people saying that she didn't submit, this is the entire list of what she submitted. analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio so this is what nicky

um submitted for the grammies f tc ue you everybody and the mom was playing that y'all remember when she went on kai samat stream and they was playing f tc u and everybody was going crazy right and then speaking of the word i kept using everybody featuring little uzi verk um was also submitted let me calm down featuring j cole was submitted for best rap performance because i keep telling you y'all it's probably one of germain's best verses of all time as far as a rapper in his career obviously i call him the most overrated rapper of all time so his fan base probably don't care for that compliment but hey you get it when you can right so anyways uh r m b featuring low wayne and take cobane best melodic rap performance pink friday two album of the year best rap album best engineer album i think all of those are

fair, especially the amount of prestige that Pink Friday 2 now has combined with the quality level and success, because not only was a high top tier quality, but also had chart topping sales, especially with FTCU, with everybody. I think those are the two big ones. So she had hits off her album, multiple. The album was long-lasting. She went on a record-breaking tour, and guess what? No Grammy nominations for the 67th Grammy.

award show to show for it so that's all i'm like whoever has hatred in their heart for nicky menage unless she did something egregious you just got to let it go because obviously it's not that egregious because y'all still won't tell us why she's not nominated every time people bring it up they just say oh she's washed so all right let me get off my soapbox that's that's enough of that but hey i was i was like bro that is like insane that is that is actually insane that's like all right last comparison for all my hoopers that's like putting up 30 10 and 10 right and then an all-star not even like the MVP the all-star game come around and you're not even on the team like come on now like what are we doing you

know what I'm saying like hold up now who's voting for this anyways all right now now I'm gonna get off my soapbox best music video Taylor Swift by ASEB Rocky 360 by Charlie XX Hugh Dini by Eminem not like us by Kendrick Lamar that is insane Fortnite by Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone. Now, seeing that not like us as a pedophile anthem, I'm not going to have the greatest sentiment towards his track. But when it comes to best rap performance, I'll probably, you know, speak more highly on it.

But as far as the music video, y'all let me know what was so unique about that, right? So anyways, as far as my prediction, I think it should go to Houdini by M&M. I think the overall premise was executed perfectly. And on top of that, that album is probably one of the better albums. of 2024 when it comes to hip hop so um i would give this to houdini of course politic wise i'm not

to give my answer as far as who i think we're going on a politics level and exaub rocky's video was pretty unique i'm not going to lie if you watch taylor swift it was some insane things happening at random points that you never just knew you never knew what the next scene would entail and i think that was a testament to the creative vision asap had for that but as far as my personal prediction i'm going with houdini by emm and m for best music video actually forget all that i'm going for ice ice let me chill what was ice spice the i'm the i'm the i'm the fart i'm the poop what type of music that that she'd be labeled i don't even y'all like that man y'all like that but that's why i said best music video you know anyways um best song written for visual media

Oklahoma, where it's, uh, from Twisters. I think that's like a hurricane movie, right? No, a tornado movie. Is that the same thing? That's not the same thing. That's how you know I'm ignorant. I think hurricanes like with water, right? Y'all, I probably sound so ignorant right now.

Y'all I have to excuse my ignorant. All right. Um, that's how you know I don't live in Florida. Uh, you know, I'm not trying to get too deep on that. Better place, uh, from trolls can't catch me now from the hunger games. What in the world? The hunger games? When that come out?

I thought that been out. The Hunger Games, the Ballad of, what is this? Oh, this was the extra book they put out. Because if you don't know, actually, you know, enjoyed the Hunger Games series before it was even a movie. I read all the books. And then the movie came out. And I was like, this don't look like anything I pictured in my head.

Y'all ever have the epiphany for the people who read out there? For the people who don't read, this conversation is not for you. But when you're reading and then you finish the book and you watch the movie and it looks like, completely different than what you pictured in your head. Like, obviously, when you're reading it, you make your own fairy tale in your head as far as how certain characters look based on descriptions, and then you get to the movie, and it's just completely different. I don't know how y'all feel about that, but that always irritates me.

I don't know anything about the ballets of songbirds, but, you know, hey, shout out to them for having a nomination, right? Can't Catch Me Now. The same thing I just said. It never went away from American Symphony. Love will survive from the tattooists of Auschwitz. I think that's how you said. I'm not going to lie.

I'm just going for. Ain't no love in Oklahoma. That's what I'm going for. Simply off the fact that I saw Twisters. That's it. That's my logic. So anyways, best score soundtrack for video games. Hold up now.

That's what this part is about. Let me show. All right. In other interactive media. Avatar front. Avatar Frontiers of Pandor. Well, at least they got some type of recognition from a war show because it, hey, it for sure was not going to be the game of wars. Let me just tell you that right now.

Hey, what Dylan from RDC World say? We're going to play this game off stream. But anyways, God of War, Ragnarok, Valhalla, Marvel Spider-Man 2, Star Wars, Outlaws, Wizardry, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. I don't know what that is. So that's the first time I've seen a game nominated that had no clue what it was. So we're just going to look at it up right quick. Because I was like, what in the world is that? Wizards, the Wizards of Waverly Place, the Alex Russo and stuff.

So, so Winnie Fred Phillips was the music composer. And now I don't care. It's just, it's too much boring information that's popping up. I ain't going to lie. Shout out to them for being nominated, but we don't care. So as far as the soundtrack, I'm surprised to see Avatar, definitely surprised to see Avatar,

surprised to see Marvel Spider-Man 2, and outside of that, I have to go with God of War of Ragnar by Hala. I think everything else is probably, you know, Star Wars always has pretty solid soundtracks. I mean, it's Star Wars. People get up for Star Wars as far as making the soundtrack for it. So, yeah, I'll probably say,

God of War Wagner Rock will win this category and for those who don't know when it comes to the Grammys they don't televise all of these awards

so hopefully you know you already know that but for those who don't they don't televise all of these awards which is why you're probably like I didn't even know they had that it's because they do it off-screen

they give you the award off-screen which technically a Grammy's a Grammy so I wouldn't be mad if it's off-screen before the show after the show if I get a Grammy I have a Grammy

and I can post about it how about that i got social media i can i can hit the post button um so you know all of these awards and all of these categories aren't televised so um now you know so yeah i'm going with a god of war ragnar rock for a best score soundtrack for video game all right best score soundtrack for visual media not too familiar with that so we're just gonna um yeah we're just going to skip that best compilation soundtrack only movie i saw out of this was was Deadpool and Wolverine. So does that take my black card?

I haven't seen the color purple. I'm sorry y'all. I just haven't made time to go see the color purple. I think I saw the original, but I haven't seen the up-to-date one. But yeah, so best audiobook. I don't know any of these people. I do know Dolly Parton.

You know what's funny? I know Dolly Parton from Hannah Montana. I don't know if that's such a like a random fun fact, but now y'all know, right? I don't know what you're going to do with their information, but now you have it, right? It's ingrained into your brain that I only know,

but not only, I was introduced to Dolly Parton from the Hannah Montana show. All right, let's keep on. So now we have children's comedy, audiobooks, visual media, and music slash film. I don't know why. I read that off because I don't, like, what type of input I'm going to put on this category?

Like Dave Chappelle is great, Trevor Noah's great as a comedian. Like I don't even know. I haven't even listened to the comedy album. Oh, it is a comedy. I'm tripping. So it is a comedy. Well, let's just go with Dave Chappelle.

Forget it. I ain't even listen to it. Forget it. Just off of pure ignorance. Let's go with Dave Chappelle for that category. Best Children's album. I don't know. I don't know that one.

Best New Age. We're going to skip that. Best Reggae. I see Shensia on there. I see Vibes Cartel, which is a testament to how fickle people are. everybody said free vibes cartel but what popular artists you know that's featured with vibes cartel put him on their album their song anything right instead of an instagram post what did kendrick say um they faking for likes and digital hugs i ain't gonna lie vibes cartel being free everybody saying free um you know vibes is home or whatever and then nothing comes of it so i'm like

all that for nothing like i just don't understand the fickleness of people uh best global music album just because i see tim's name on here got to give it to thims i mean got to give it to thames uh best african music performance okay so tomorrow we have yemi allade i think that's how you say it mms by issake and whizkid sensational by chris brown featuring davido a loge higher by Burner Boy and then Love Me JJ by Timms. Now of course I'm going to hire by Burner Boy and I'm just going to tell you all right now I don't think it's close but of course I would not be upset if anybody else had a difference of opinion of course but for me personally higher should win best African music performance. With that being said best global music performance

I don't know too many of the names on here so we're just going to keep moving along best tropical Latin album best musica mexicana album oh I see peso on here no I gotta give it to peso peso Peso is extraordinary

right uh peso's been my favorite Latin musician and I've covered a plethora of Latin musicians to the point where honestly for the year of 2024 Kendrick and Dre kicked it off as far as the podcast

of course some gaming talk but as far as consistently the Latin community really been showing up like I feel like I was going to say a certain someone but you know it's a little too soon for that the way the Latin community been supporting me

so with that being said um Paisal Pluma's always been the top for me personally as far as Latin music I like to hear in my off time but obviously I like Oscar Madoam um

Carol G I like her I like Bazaar It's bizarre. I'll just play, all right, my fault. My fault. You can throw your tomatoes. But yeah, no, it's, I don't know how I like Bazarab's very unique style of making music, but I enjoy it.

But as far as this, best Musica Mexicana album, definitely, definitely got to go to Paisal Pluma. I can't go to anybody else. Best Latin rock or alternative album. I'm going to skip that one. Best Musica Urbana album. I don't see Pace of Puma. Am I tripping? I see Bad Bunny.

I see J. Balvin. I see Feed. I've covered him before. Well, I've covered all these people except for a Resdente and Young. Actually, I've covered all these people. Let me look this up. Sometimes, hey, that's how you know I'd be working. You know what I'm saying?

That's why you should subscribe, rate this five stars, you know, share this to somebody who you think would enjoy in depth music discussions. You know what I'm saying? I think I've talked about all these people. You need to type in feed. Yeah, I've talked about feed a number. numerous times i've talked about see young micho like numerous times obviously i've talked about j bald and you got looked that up and then of course bad bunny feet uh so yeah i've talked to oh residenete let me see if i talked about him residente i haven't talked about okay

everybody else on this list i've talked about so as far as my personal uh sentiments i would probably give this to bad bunny i mean bad bunny just runs the game when it comes when it comes to numbers he is the Drake of the Latin music field doesn't mean he makes the highest quality music I'm just saying that as far as analytically he runs the game when it comes to the Latin music field nobody outsells bad buddy so quality wise though he's still pretty up there as far as the music that he puts out so I would go with his album as far as the best Musica Arbana album best Latin pop album we have Anita actually I don't know to me.

Oh. Hey, let me chill right quick because I see Cali Uches on here. Based off the name, it got to go to Cali Uchus. I don't care. Okitas or however you say it. Best Latin Pop album has to go to Caliuches. I don't care.

Nobody said. So anyways, Best Roots gospel album. I'm going to skip that one. Best Contemporary. Best Gospel. Best Contemporary. best gospel

best regional roots best folk album best contemporary best traditional bluegrass American American roots best country album

ah here we go from Nashville to the Grammys we finally got to the title of the episode which if you don't know episode 143 is coming out pretty soon obviously this is going to come out before the episode because it's going to be pretty extensive simply because of the segment literally so anyways um what's the same all right so from Nashville to tennessee we are now getting into the countryside of music so with that being said

best americana performance for for new vocal or instrumental americana performance award to artists so know what that means but i see bianca on here best believe me any nomination that biancy has other than the big four categories which is uh what's the big four categories record of the year album of the year song of the year and then there's something else that's the that's the big one anyways you get what i'm saying right outside of those big four categories just making a shoe in for bionc to win i think this is shaping up for Beyonce to have a clean suite. Personally, I think Shibuzi has the best album of 2024. I think he dropped an undeniable classic with where I've been, isn't where I'm going.

Essentially paying homage to not only country, but also hip hop and infusing it in a way that Little Nuz-X tried to but as far as the organic side of things Shibuzi perfected it and upgraded the quality times 10 and now we have this album that's a classic body of work big extra plug being on a country

album and still having the ability to switch it up and then put out a track like Annabelle or Highway I mean that's one of the best albums probably I've ever heard in life. I mean, because I don't think people really put too much credence on the ability to stage through to a genre, right? There's a reason why Drake's on top as far as hip-hop because he puts out R&B hits and rap hits. What Shibuzzi did with country in hip-hop is in that same realm. And that is why when you see Shibuzzi on Beyonce's Cowboy Carter,

multiple times as far as a feature and then she talks about how he helped out in the creative process and then after the fact when he puts out his album personally it grew to be even more impressive to me i think that has to be accounted for it as far as what bionc also did as far as finding him as a talent to highlight because of course a bar song was probably going to go up regardless but of course with that bianca cosigned and that aliute who would have known uh who would have predicted that a bar song would have been the most successful song in the last decade because there was a stat where shibuzzi let's see uh shibuzzi oh flat typed his name right i think it did okay so let me tell y'all something a bar song by

shibuzi becomes the longest running solo number one hit and billboard history now let's do this billboard hot 100 history no no forget that billboard hot 100 when was it created because i think people forget just how impressive a bar song has been as far as in totality in one year right in the span of one year it's broke a record that probably won't be broken probably won't be broke again in our lifetime I'm not trying to be dramatic the Billboard Hot 100 was created in 1958 Shibuzi has the longest running

solo number one hit in Billboard Hot 100 history meaning it was the most played song on planet Earth for 17 weeks maybe it wasn't consecutively obviously not like us I think we're number one at one point I had some help with Post Malone and Morgan Wallin with number one.

But to consistently be in the top three and then reach number one 17 times in a span of, let me see, because I don't even think, because it's the longest running number one hit, right? It hasn't even been a year yet. Like, was a bar song, I don't know if that was a single. Anyways, let's just go to the album. the album was released May 31st, 2024. I believe a bar song was not a single. Hopefully I'm not mistaken. But anyways.

Okay, so May 31st. That is one, two, three, four, five, six, well, almost six. So five and a half months, this man broke the record. on a platform that's been out since 1958 for the amount of number one chart you can have on Billboard Hot 100 history having the most played album

or most played track 17 times in the span of five to seven months is insane we we're never going to see that again ever Taylor Swift couldn't do that Beyonce can do that Drake couldn't do that. Shibuzi put out

statistically the most impressive song we've ever seen in life. Like, I don't know how it's the frame. If you don't get it by now, we're just going to move on. So, anyways, back to what I was saying about Beyonce. So, best Americana performance. Yaya, I think, will win

because in every category that Beyonce's in, I think she's going to clean up other than the Big Four. I think the Big Four is the ultimate toss-up as far as who's going to win. But every other category that has Beyonce in it, she's just going to clean up. for the simple fact just like shabuzzi the nashville roots is going to lead them to a grammy anyways um

best american roots performance i don't know too many of these people is that fabulous of the fabulous thunderbirds oh excuse me uh best country album cowboy cowboy carter biananse malone deeper well casey musgraves Stapleton and World Win by Laney Wilson. Now, first off, let me just tell y'all. I think where I've been isn't where I'm going should be on this list. I know y'all are going to be like, oh, your recency bias is showing, but Shibuzzi literally creatively helped Cowboy Carter. And then followed up with the album, personally, that I think is better.

So, with that being said, I think it's because he's such a new. act that the entire project they probably want to wait to even like actually i'm i'm not trying down shibuzi but man this may have been putting out music for a while this may be his best body of work of his career like after this i mean even at the end of the song he says i'm good if he ends like you know what i mean he was just basically saying i'm good if this was the end right because i had such a great run with this in 2024 that literally at the end is titled finally over that i mean you just probably already know that that hey i probably not going to be able to make this album again like this album i don't know how i came

up with this but this is a classic body of work and now that i'm at the end of now that i'm at the end of it it's finally over right so anyway that's probably why they didn't want to give him a nomination because i mean i don't think he would have won so they was like let's just not put him on there in the first place which is crazy logic but i'm telling you this is this is the type of talks they have behind the scenes as far as oh if you're not going to win regardless why will we put them as a nomination put other people that may have a better chance of actually winning because why let a new artist win a huge category as far as best country album that rather him be nominated for uh yeah best country song because that's one singular song anybody can well not anybody let me not be disrespectful it's easier quote unquote to have a hit song than it is to have a hit album right or just a highly acclaimed album anyways based off this list Beyonce's winning

I mean come on now I just said every category Beyonce's in she's going to win besides the big four as far as the categories that's going to be more

of a toss up and of course the I was looking at some I totally forgot what I was looking at oh okay all the best four categories oh yeah okay

so when I keep saying that because some people may get confused the categories I'm talking about is basically song of the year album of the year record of the year and then there's another one i keep forgetting maybe it's producer the year i don't know maybe it's best new artist i forget but those are like the top three categories that is like the MVP of the season right you get either record of the year album of the year you essentially won MVP right so um yeah mehose is definitely getting country album a country album win for Cowboy Carter. So anyways

Best Country Song Actually let me go back to Best Country album. Let me tell you all something. I was listening because I've listened to all these albums except for the Casey Musgraves and the Lightning Wilson album. F1 Trillion. I don't know

what it is, but the last track off of F1 trillion, I don't even have kids and that was a tear jerker if I do say so myself. I mean the amount of emotional capacity that you have to have to put out a song like that it reminds me of when people dance at the end of weddings which is called like the recital i don't know that's how you know i'm not close to marriage

but uh as far as the recital and you're dancing with your dad yeah your dad and then you play a song to honor to dance or whatever that was basically um the type of vibe that post malone had and he nailed at the end of F1 trillion. The track, yours, is probably one of the better tracks of Post Malone's career as far as actual substance that leads to evolution as a man.

Yours by Post Malone off of the F1 trillion album is one of the better tracks I've heard from Post Malone and his discography. As far as just the amount of heavy substance that's in the track, and I mean like quality

as far as lyrically things that nature. I'm not talking about drugs. So, yeah, because you know, you look at Post Malone, you think that I just flew itchia. All right. So anyways, best country song, the architect, I don't know what this is, a bar song by Shabuzzi, of course. Okay, okay, I see it. It's in the parentheses of the name of like everybody in the mom for a song of the year. I mean, best country song, which makes sense, but still.

So going back over the list. The Architect by Casey Musgraves A Bar song by Shibuzi I am not okay by Jelly Row

I had some help by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallin and of course Texas Holdem by Beyonce this ladies and gentlemen is a jam pack list

this is probably the most competition that I've seen in this entire document so far. So actually it's not. A bar song should win. What? I'm tripping.

A bar song, do I have to pull up the stat again? A billboard has been around since 1958. Let me see. Billboard has been around

and first published August 4th, 1958. Ladies and gentlemen, in less than five and a half months, a bar song about Shabuzi became the longest running solo number one hit in Billboard Hot 100 history making it the most successful track of all time as far as number one hits on Billboard and the span of five to eight

months for a platform that's been out since 1958 obviously i say quality no obviously i say that streams does not automatically mean you have high quality as far as having a high amount of streams but when it comes to a bar song And it also having high quality, safe to say, it should be a shoe win that a bar song wins. So I think a bar song, tipsy, it's not even close. Like, I'm going to have to pull a Kanye moment myself if he doesn't win this category. Like, this is the one category where it's like you can't have more achievements stacked up on your resume for trying to win this award. Like, there's no other track that's ever had more resume builder than a baronet.

bar song for best country song so if it doesn't win hey i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not gonna pull the card i'm not gonna pull the card but i'm just gonna say if it doesn't win just hold of definitely spilled on myself for the people who've seen the video version yeah man i'm like a child anyways um yeah i had to take a sip on that because that was uh i'm not gonna play the card but if it doesn't win y'all know y'all can read my brain right uh so yeah shibuzis should by far in a way win best country songs it's not even not even close i'm not even gonna give day any more thought uh best country duo slash group performance so we have cowboys cry to by kelsey ballerini ballerini calcia ballerina with

noa khan or kahan then we have most wanted of course by biance featuring moly cyrus which i'm not trying get my black card taken or my uh yeah my black card taken but if you know you know my lily cyrus did her thing on there that's all i got to say that's all i got to say i'm not gonna say who had the better verse i'm just gonna say myly cyrus did her thing and y'all do with that information which you will let's just say she showed out on that track anyways uh break mine brothers osborne i don't know who they are no disrespect i just don't know bigger houses by dan plus she and then i have had some help by Post Malone and feature Morgan Waller. Now, as far as Best Country Duo slash Group Performance, like I keep telling you all, in general,

every category Beyonce's in besides the top three or top four, she is going to win. Beyonce and Molly Cyrus will win Best Country Duo slash Group Performance for second most woning. And you know why they're going to win? for the simple fact that I would have chose I had some help but only reason Morgan Wallen is even nominated is because post Malone is on here because let me break it down y'all think i was talking about niki minage when it comes to post malone it's a whole other debacle right oh man not not post malone my fault when it comes to Morgan wallin is a whole other um situation as far as why he's snub from the Grammys so this one i agree with you

with. I agree with having this type of sentiment towards an artist for the Grammy snubs. So essentially, let me tell y'all some. As a black man in America, when people use the N-word, sometimes I give them a pass if they actually mistakenly used it. Like Michelle Beatle, not too long ago, accidentally said the N-word when she was trying to say Nuggets, right? So if you mess up and say that, or the judge that just said the criminal, I mean, you, you young thug free and just the next hearing was letting the in bomb fly right now just flying it's okay so same situation she read off she was reading off comments that you know one of the people she was sentencing uh was commenting on ig and she was just reading reading it off verbatim and she actually

accidentally said that the the end word she and she said it like the the white dude and boondocks right she said it like it was just organic like she been you know what I'm saying like Maybe she'd been around a couple. I mean, chill. So anyways, I think when white people say the N word, it can be excusable if it's an actual mistake. But the problem is when you are actively using the word in its origin definition. So Morgan Wallin was caught in 4K using the racial slur in 2021. You can't make the stuff up.

i swear to you you would have thought this man just did not care about ever being famous in life because the way he was letting it fly you would never thought that this man was going to try to have a famous career the way he was just letting an inbound fly so of course i've joked that if you're talented enough they won't care and obviously that's the case with justin beaver i mean he's harmonizing the n-word with the hardy are and people still quantify him as one of the greatest pop musicians of all time so if you're talented enough obviously they don't care i mean morgan wallen literally hold on let me see doesn't morgan wallen have a song with a rapper right now so obviously he probably just landed flying there you know they they probably like hey let me hear you say it one more time you know what i'm saying

get that get it off your chest one more time so um i don't get what it was called okay it was definitely morgan walling morgan walling because i mean i'm not talking about little dirk obviously i know that track Broadway girls and then the um the other track he has with Little Dirk I'm talking about the other track I don't know if it's spinning you round oh maybe I'm thinking about another musician hmm I thought was Morgan Wallin somebody must be somebody else what in the world oh lies lies lies that's not him spin you round it's not on this DS it's not on this DSP but that doesn't mean anything sometimes you know they just don't have it on there uh let me see all i know it was him because morgan wallen's the one out here doing collaborative rappers which is why

people would let him say the embalm in the first place right all morgan walling features in 2024 okay so post malone of course and then although specific let's see i had some help okay maybe it wasn't him maybe I'm thinking of somebody else I'm probably definitely thinking to somebody else is a country artist and a rapper I know that but I guess it wasn't

I guess I got them confused with another country artist dang I want to find it now I don't know if it was big X to plug maybe it was Blake Chowton it wasn't Blake Shoughton that wasn't Blake Shoughton that would collab with a rapper

uh Zach Brian it may have been Zach Brian let's see okay I can't find it I tried to find it but um I swear he had one maybe it's 2023 let me see 20 20 okay this is the last one

23 23 features because I'm trying to I'm tying this back to how if you're talented enough people just won't care he's doing collabs with little dirt doing collabs with all the other type of rappers so he did stand by me with little dirt um and I do believe that that

um Morgan Wallen, you know, to his credit, is the only very popular country artists to be out here collaborating a numerous amount of time with rappers, right? Multiple songs with Little Dirk as far as Broadway girls and stand by me. And then, of course, we post him alone. I mean, started off as a rapper, so I guess I don't know. Okay, yeah, I guess it wasn't him. I guess I got him confused with somebody else.

but um point still says this man said the em bomb back in 2021 don't nobody care about the grambis so that's why he's snubbed and which is why I'm saying him being snubbed is something I agree with because that's actually actually an actual um offense towards a group of people that's pretty offensive you know I mean like as far as the history you know I know they're trying to take it out the history books but as far as the history um I can see why this man is snub so even though because last year this happened to him one thing at a time achieve uh the record for the

longest running number one album on billboard 200 of that year if you don't know morgan waller was putting up better numbers from an album perspective than uh taylor swift uh and uh last year right it may seem crazy because taylor swift's first week sales but like consistently morgan wallen was having that number at a higher clip than taylor swift taylor swift would jump out the gate two point something crazy million first week sales but then as far as consistently like week 15 week 16 Morgan uh Morgan wallen was holding that uh that slot so anyways uh so yeah because of him you know dropping the end bomb like it was going out of style they basically uh ban him from the gramees so he received this first grammy nomination but guess what it's only because it's attached

to post malone and that's usually the work around which is why sometimes you see drake sometimes you see the weekend um have grammy nominations when they don't submit their music because the tracks that they're on will be submitted and then the grammies will have to decide you know what to do with that so that's basically why but yeah it was a big deal in november 10th 2023 when he didn't receive any grammy nominations anyways okay enough of morgan waller all right he dropped the end bomb that's why he's banned so you know a long story short uh with that being said That is why I'm saying Beyonce and Miley Cyrus will easily win Best Country Duo slash group performance

because they already didn't want to nominate the man. No way they're giving a win to Post Malone and Morgan Wallet. No matter how much they adore Post Malone, they still not giving it to them. Anyways, Best Country Solo Performance. Of course, we have 16 characters by Beyonce. I am not okay by Jelly Road. The architect with Casey, a bar song by Shabuzi.

It Takes a Woman by Chris Stapleton. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you one more time. If Shabuzi does not win an award for a bar song, I'm going to have to pull a digital Kanye West, and I will get canceled. I just want to let you know that. Because if he doesn't win with the amount of resume that this song has, all I can do is play the black card, man.

That's all I can do. So anyway, he says, so I think Abar song is going to win Best Country Solo Performance. And it should, by far. um what else okay so best musical theater album i don't know too much about that best contemporary what hold on what's that okay y'all don't know that one uh best traditional best latin i don't know that one best alternative jazz large jazz jazz jazz instrumental jazz vocal jazz performance y'all y'all

a fan of jazz. Best spoken word. A little ASMR. Oh, hold on now. Is this rap? Not hip hop. All right. So back into another wheelhouse of mind.

Let's get into best rap album. I know that's not what I think it is. That's not what I think it is. I don't know. It's just no way. It's no way that an album with a track that was put out and taken off by the artist themselves because they said it was garbage got a nomination for best rap album what who is who's on the committee bro i got to know it's definitely j z because obviously if you don't know germane's under jz i've always

wonder how an overrated rapper like jane can have such hierarchy in the hip-hop game right but now it makes sense i mean you have rock nation j z backing you himself and so of course you have a lot of leeway when it comes to being completely garbage we're not garbage it's a little strong but just being completely overrated. So J. Cole himself took off a track because of the quality level and of course the direction that that was going to make him have to go in. Right. So that in itself should disqualify the entire body of work might delete later. But lo and behold, because of Jay Z, might delete later is literally nominated for Best Rap album. I mean, it must be nice. That's like worse than Brony James. That's like,

like Jay-Z, like his daddy for real. Like, this is insane. Anyways, all right. Back to all saying. The Auditorium, volume 1 by Common and Pete Rock. Shout out to now. You know, shout out to the old heads and Pete Rock. I don't know how old he is. I may take my hip-hop card. I actually don't know too much

about Pete Rock. Let me see. Pete Rock age. Oh, yeah, this man, 54 years old. I don't know too much about that. Alex, you know, not to be disrespectful. I just don't know. Alligator Bites never heal. This is very interesting because whoever selected this means that they are listening to core hip-hop fans because I keep hearing that Dochi's album is straight phenomenal.

I haven't listened to it, but the consensus is that this is some top-tier body of work and they are calling her to female Kendrick to the point where Kendrick put out. a post for dosi and let me see if i could find this okay dochi i keep hitting my mic um pause uh let me see is it that's not it all right we go all right so you know how um kendrik could have been like bothered to post the guy who produces like best track ever not like us but here he is posting Doshi, which I'm not hating on Dosti, I'm definitely hating on D.G. Kendrick specifically for not posting DJ Musters' album. But, you know, somehow, you know, even though the mysterious mantra is still upon him, he found some time to post Doki being quote unquote, the hardest out. So, yeah, do have that information, which you will. So, Kendrick couldn't post the guy who gave him

his most successful hit ever when he put out his album after the fact. But of course, he put out You know what I mean? Hey, no hate, no hate on Doche. I'm specifically hating on Kendrick. So anyways, but yeah, that's basically the type of noise that Dochi was able to accumulate based off pure talent with her album. So I'm not mad at this. I'm not mad at her having a rap, a best rap album nomination. Of course, we have the depth of slim shading by Eminem. And then we have, we don't trust you by future in Metro Boomer. So, looking at this list automatically germane makes this list a joke because why is it on here and that's it that's all i have to say just why is it on here he himself took off tracks off the album and you want to tell me

it's a grammy nominated is a grammy worthy album all right j z and the reason why i keep saying j z is because i don't think y'all realize this man hey it's the reason why p ditty was able to get away with a lot of stuff he was able to get with j z on a much more lighthearted note gets away with a lot behind the scenes with the people he preferred to put in power that because of the way he could change your life people don't speak on it right so that's why you should definitely rate this five stars you know what i'm saying and uh share this

and definitely sign up to my patreon because hey i don't know who else is going to give it give it up like this when it comes to j z because of j z putting so many people in different positions for bad word of mouth to not spread around. Anyways, what was I saying? Yeah, so it might delete later. Just complete joke. I don't know why it's on here. I would say,

best rap album based off the selections, because you already know. Actually, they do have the album. Okay, I do have future in my, like, as far as one of my top five albums of 2024. But from my Grammy's perspective, as far as politics, I mean, it has to go to M&M.

I'm not going to lie to you. Death is Slim Shady is a very phenomenal album. I don't care what people say about him rapping like he read in an entire thesaurus or encyclopedia. I don't care what y'all got to say. This man is putting some words together like we've never seen before. And I think that has to be acknowledged as far as the overall concept that he went with as far as the Death Islam Shady and then the perfection of the execution. Right. So now I think he deserves a Grammy.

So I would say the death of Slim, uh, the death of Slim Shady by Eminem should win. But I want to be mad at anybody else win except for Germain. Like that is just atrocious. Like goodness gracious. That's like playing in a basketball game, right? And taking yourself out the game because you're playing so bad.

And then at the end of the game, they're like, hey, this is the MVP right here and they give you the trophy. Like what? Like, hold on now. This man took himself out the game. And you still, all right. so yeah that's the type of power j z has just to let y'all know because if you don't know remember what i said about the selection committee which is why i prefer the billboard awards over the

the grammies um the gramey's voting body is performers songwriters producers and engineers and j z's a part definitely a part of that list and it's spoken about voting on the grammies uh because of when he talked about his wife not ever winning album of the year but she's the most nominated and he was like how does that work and for the people who don't remember here is Jay-Z complaining about a voting system that

he has a heavy hand in right? Like how do y'all think killer Mike won? Y'all think it was because of the younger generation anyways let me see oh yeah that's right here so metrics that doesn't work

think about that most Gramie's never one album of a year that doesn't work Look, Beyonce sitting there like, don't you know I get to launch up there right now? Like, boy, if you don't let me have my moment. No, I just play. It was actually Jay-Z's moment. He was receiving some type of award for impact, which he definitely deserves, of course.

I, you know, all intense and purposes, I make jokes. But there's a reason why I have Jay-Z as my number one rapper of all the time. I think, well, actually, I don't know, Kendrick may be, I'm just, hey, Kendrick never got ether. food for thought food for thought but j z didn't make the black album and he actually stays consistent in the culture as far as actually caring about it you know we don't we don't know about kendrick still up in there like you know he's he's for the culture right where was he when come on let me chill anyways all right uh let's run this back

metrics that doesn't work think about that most grandees never one album of the year that doesn't work you know some of you some of you go home tonight

and feel like you've been robbed some of you made it rob that was such a bar some of you don't belong in a category um spoken like a true capitalist

let's keep going he was probably talking to Jermaine he was like hey you know that's all me right anyways let's keep going I tell the truth but outside of that outside of that you know we got to keep showing up and forget the grievous for a second just in life as I know metrics that does all right then he goes on to to speak about life motivation in a way that only Sean Carter can so you know obviously all jokes and is just for all intense and purposes is basically jokes for me uh you know I'm serious about

certain things, but as far as overall, Jay-Z's what we need for hip-hop to continue to go for it. I'm not going to lie to you. I mean, Jay-Z said himself, you know, they out here burning bridge to get a, they out here burning bridges, you know, you can't swim across or something like that,

which is a very deep line if you think about it. But ultimately, he is our connection to a lot of different ways as far as having a say in bigger issues, or not issues, but just bigger platforms, let's just say like that. Because, of course, at the NFL, I mean, on the entertainment level, it's a big platform.

And now we have a say, and we've had a say for the past, like, five to ten years. So, Jay-Z is very essential to what we need in hip-hop. I don't think I need to. I don't think y'all need me to tell y'all that, right? I just make jokes about them because him putting Jermaine up there is just insane. Anyways, why don't I say that? I totally forgot why I said that, but that was a much needed rant.

You know what I'm saying? So yeah, M&M Death of Slim Shady should definitely win Best Rap album. And yeah, I totally forgot why I went on that rant. Anyways, best rap song. Asteroys by Rhapsody featuring hit boy, Carnival by Kanye West and Ty Dahlaston, featuring Rich the Kid and Playboy Cardi, like that. Oh, I'm tripping. like that by future metro and uh kendrick not like us by kendrick and yeah glow by glorilla

which you know and all to you know for basically ironically yeah glow is how i was feeling when she got nominated i was like i'm so i'm finally glad that somebody is showcasing how much of a impact glorilla has had on hip hop in 2024 and sexy red but of course her name i don't know if like i told y'all I typed in sexy red one time and they thought I was looking up something else. You know what I'm saying? I got the safety precautions and everything. I'm like, oh, no, like, she ain't going to make it. Like, this ain't even, like, I'm over here trying to get, I'm over here trying to type in her name for educational purposes.

I think I'm on a different type of timing. Anyways, best rap song should go to like that. I think like that is probably one of the better hip hop songs we've ever received in, life. As far as the engineering, the execution lyrically, and then the execution melodically,

you had the best of everything. Metro is arguably the best hip-hop producer in the game right now. Don't forget, he gave us the Spider-Verse soundtrack that was phenomenal, but then he gave us heroes and villains

that was equally as phenomenal, right? Then he gave us two albums from future. So unequivocally, this is, this man is probably the best hip-hop producer in the game right now, excluding, I don't even know if you can exclude Kanye. I mean, if you really, if we really want to talk about the last two years of body, the last two years of Metro Boomin's production, body of work against Kanye's last two years of production as far as body of work. Metro may be taking the cake with that one. So I would say Metro is the best hip hop producer currently. Future obviously has the best melodic

rap performance on the track. And then of course, Kendrick tops it all off, pause, with the lyrically inclined bars directed at the Canadian, of course. So in totality, I think it's one of the best hip hop tracks ever created. I mean, it's so good that at the end of the song, Metro just went off. Metro's like, you know what? I'm going to give a verse to myself. He was such in the zone. He was like, let me just give a verse to myself. He just went off with Aidaway's, high hats, everything.

Started going crazy, playing the little samples he had. If you like that, you know, just start doing the drums. It was insane. Like that, it's literally like that. It's probably one of the best hip-hop tracks of all time. Yeah. So I think that should want. best rap song but definitely shout out to all other songs that was nominated in this category especially shout out to glorilla and um yeah uh with that being said best melodic rap performance we have kalani by jordan added tunji added tunji i don't know what type of name that is but anyways featuring kalani then you have spaghetti which you know what i don't get the hype for for a spaghetti. I don't want to sound like a hater, but as far as the entire body of work,

spaghetti is one of my least favorite songs. I think it's because the way that the ad libs was just so abrasive. Is that the word? Like, as far as sonically, let me see, abrasive. Make sure, you know, I got to look up stuff nowadays. Abasive definition. I don't know. I'm old. I'm 24 going on 60. All right. Capable of polishing or cleaning a hard surface by rubbing or grinding. Yeah, definitely. Brace of sonically because of the ad lib she was doing while she was rapping Jay Z definitely was in the studio when she was rapping as far as you know teaching her and coaching her but he probably should have told her that a A B this ain't it whatever you doing in them ad lives take that out like I don't know what type of like I don't know if somebody laid down a reference track and she was copying their ad libs but it did not sound the greatest that's why I like

Spaghetti always threw me off. I can never get through that first verse. So anyways, but I love Shabuzi's part, so, you know, I just suffer through it until I get to his part. But anyways, what was I saying?

Oh, yeah, best melodic rap performance. Kalani, Spaghetti, we still don't trust you. Goodness, I mean, how much do they hate the Canadian?

They hate levels are over 9,000. I kid you not. So the second album, mind you, we still don't trust you, just in case you got to confuse by future metro and the weekend and then you have big mama by lotto and then 3 a.m. by rhapsody featuring erika bad do now ladies and gentlemen let me tell you this is this is upsetting nica minage has unequivocally one of the best albums of 2023 personally

i think is the best album of 2023 when it comes to hip-hop melodically i just showed y'all the complete listing of submissions for niki minage if y'all think they wasn't trying to be petty by having big mama ballado in a melodic rap performance whenever nicky obviously has a track that's melodic with r and b i don't know what to tell y'all like whoever nicky made upset i don't know if she just has to bite the bullet and apologize behind the scenes i don't know what they want i don't know what she did because morgan wallin we know why he's snubbed from the Grammys and outcast it but Nikki what did she do like what could Nikki what could Onika have done to make somebody this upset it's almost like that boondocks me what what did that

person do to make him so much so upset to the point where I forgot yeah one of my uh is it out here yeah one of my snippets or not snippets one of my uh Soundbites is Nikki basically talking about the state of hip hop because what is going on? But then you know what I'm saying, damn, look at the state of hip hop like what's going on? Nikki waking up seeing Big Mama Balado get a nomination for best melodic rap performance over her R&B track from Pink Friday, too. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, 10, look at the state of hip hop like what's going on? Nikki Minaj seeing Rhapsody featuring Erica Badu?

she's a musician alright let me let me stop playing but you know Erica Badu over Nikki Minaj's R&B off of Pink Friday too but then you know what I'm saying

I was like damn look at the state of hip hop like what's going on and you know it's so funny I forgot I had that sound I forgot I had that sound bite

so that should let you know something I've been knew that you know Nikki been telling the truth and it's just like machines and conglomerance set up against her

but I mean from behind the scenes the media does say that she is not the greatest and doesn't treat them with the most respect, right? Which old, not calling her old, you know, before I get in trouble, you know, that's the triggering right there. You might as well just say the hardy are your weather than rather than call a woman old. You know what I'm saying?

But anyways, what was I saying? Oh yeah. I forgot. That's how you know I'm getting old. Nikki basically is out here getting disrespectly left and right

I mean if Erica Badu and Lado can get a best melodic rap performance over Onika Tanya Marage for Pink Friday 2 but then you know what I'm saying

I was like damn look at the state of hip hop Like what's going on? What's going on man? What is going on? Anyways Best melodic rap performance I think should go to it's probably going to

go to spaghetti. I ain't go like to you. Beyonce's going to do a clean sweet, especially she's in the rap category. Grammy's already looked down on the genre of rap. And now they have the darling Beyonce and rap. Nah, she's definitely taking that. So she's going to win best melodic rap performance in futures and Metro and the weekend. They're just going to eat it. So anyways, pause. Best rap performance. Now, this is one of my favorite categories for the simple fact that I love diving into lyrics, because putting words together at a high tier consistent rate as far as high quality is very much undervalued in today's state of hip hop people will love to listen to spend a block twice like there's nowhere to park 20 million times rather than hear somebody give real life advice on a record like the track on up by big sean off his album right prime example that album came out of in this eligibility period. Do you see on up on any of these rap performances?

Of course not. And Big Sean actually did submit, he had submissions as well. But the Grammys pulled a mark from RDC world and looked at his first week sales and said, hey, we don't listen to that. How much he sold? Nah, we don't listen to that.

We ain't nominating that. So that's why it's so funny because when I do talk about sales, it doesn't equal quality, right? It's just talking about, the consumption rate compared to your peers. But the reason why I'm saying that is because, honestly, when it comes to best rap performance, I am diving deeper, I think, than majority of people

when it comes to lyrics and the way to put lyrics together. A lot of people haven't written a rap, but they have all the critique in the world, right? So anyways, let's get into it. Enough by Cardi B for Best Rap Performance. You know, I want to say this as politely, a polite fool. Not, that's not word. As politely as I can, I don't know why enough is on here. Best rap performance.

Just giving Cardi B a nomination goes back to my Nicki point. I mean, I know they ain't who I think it is. I know they ain't putting Cardi B on Best Rap Performance. Like, hold up. I know that ain't who I think it is. Yeah, I don't care what type of lyrically inclined verse you think Cardi B, had she don't i mean come on man best rap performance at the gramees let's be serious so anyways uh when the sun shines again by calming and p rock they're some old hair so i know they was getting off

some otherworldy type evolutionary bars right so anyways um dochi nissan altima that's a fire track title um i got to listen to dosi's album i've heard too many good things about it and i've covered way too much music to not get into Dochi because people are like the general consensus is that she went completely insane on her album so if it's as lyrically inclined as people are saying

it is I got to check it out like I don't know why I haven't listened to it but um I'm gonna get around to that Houdini by Eminem now hot take I think fuel by JID and Eminem should have been on best rap performance now hear me out the way that

JID and M&M put on a master class of putting words together on a track has to be studied. Now, of course, the rebuttal is that Houdini is more of a replayable track and also it has more

verses offerings from M&M which leads more credence to best rap performance because, of course, you're performing your raps and is more of it on Houdini versus fuel. But I just want to bring up fuel to talk about how much of a phenomenal track that is.

And it's one of my favorite tracks of 2024. Anyways, like that. You already know how I feel about like that. Kendrick's verse is phenomenal and one of the best rap tracks of all times. So I'm not, I wouldn't be mad if it won best rap performance. Yeah, Glow, I'm not like a lot of Glorilla was spinning. But would Glorilla be saying, I feel that to my core. Now, not everything.

Hold on now. Hey. hold on i'll take that back oh no no not everything but you know some of some of the stuff she'd be saying her braggadocious bars i'd really be uh I'd be resonated with you know what I mean

like you know they be hating but they stole the flow you know what I like that like yeah talk that stuff uh Glorella anyways you gotta be careful with these women rappers be like yeah no I can I can relate to that like hold them now what you what you mean by

anyways All right, so yeah. And then, of course, Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. That should easily win. That's like a bar song for being nominated for Best Country Song. That's the same way I feel about Not Like Us. Because as far as the offerings of nominations under Best Rap Performance,

none of them come close to Not Like Us, even M&M. I'm sorry. But the way that Kendrick, I can't even talk, surgically went at the Canadian and made him seem as if he was actually a PDF is and will be studied in the history books for time for for foreseeable future for the foreseeable future we're going to be looking at this track and reading the lyrics off like his gospel because this man changed the PG ever friendly brand for and more importantly brand friendly brand friendly brand friendly. persona of Drake into a person that people now look at in a different light off of no evidence, right? Remember when Drake said on family matters, you better bring some paperwork or that stuff is fake tea. Didn't nobody care for that. They listening to not like us saying certified level boy, certified pedophile with no evidence to back it up. I'm like, what type of world are we living in?

So anyways, not like us, just completely just put on a masterclass on how to put words together to completely change the energy and the dynamics in the perception of another human. And from that specific standpoint, it blows all the rest of the tracks out of the water. I mean, best rap performance is easily going to not like us. I mean, they may just mess around and not even say the rest of the nominee. They may just get up there and be like, hey, what they say? They may get up there and be like, I see dead people and just walk off. Like, honestly, they're not even going to read off the rest of their nominations. Best rap performance should easily go to Kendrick Lamar's track, not like us.

So anyways, but y'all know what I would choose for best rap performance, but, you know, that's why they ain't got me on the committee. It's all right, though. But Family Matters, I still think, is the best lyrical performance of 2024. I mean, people really underestimate Drake going up against Future, Metro, Kendrick, ASAP, Rick Ross. Was anybody else? Oh, the weekend. Oh, can't forget about the weekend.

Ontario beef? Y'all look up Drake's house shooting and then get back to me as far as how deep you think the beef goes between Drake and the weekend. I'm not making any connections. But let's just say the Ontario beef between. Exo and OVO That's scarier Than whatever beef he thinks he has With LA

Let's just put it like that Alright so Yeah I mean for best performance I easily would have went with Family Matters by Drake But you know of course They're not gonna give me

They're not gonna give it to me Right Drake's nowhere to be found Because he doesn't submit his music So that's on him Last time Drake even won a Grammy Just like At a JayZ's play

book he took a big poop on them you know i mean and this is a pg podcast you can probably fill in the blanks but um yeah last time drake went on the grommies he basically went up there and told them y'all don't even need this award i kid you not so this is probably why he stopped submitting here to just talk to all the kids that are watching this that are aspiring to do music all my peers that make music from their heart that do things pure and tell the truth i want to let you know we play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport. So it's not the NBA where at the end of the year you're holding a trophy because you made the right decisions or won the games. This is a, this is a business where sometimes, you know, it's up to a bunch of people that might not

understand, you know, what a mixed-race kid from Canada has to say or a fly Spanish girl from New York or anybody else, or a brother from Houston right there, my brother, Travis. But look, the point is, you've already won. If you have people, who are singing your songs word for word if you're a hero in your hometown if look look if there's people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain in the snow spending their harder money to buy tickets to come to your shows you don't need this right here i promise you i you already won i want to take this and let me tell you that is why he's the goat actually that doesn't do it justice hold up me a second those sentiments right there is ultimately would i be preaching 24-7 awards is subjective

what you should put more credence on is the amount of people who come out to support you time and time again week after week month after month and i mean it was just eloquently put you know i mean i know y'all gonna be saying um don't get pregnant but hey somebody got pointed out right somebody got pointed out that's how i feel man that i mean that's why he'd go you know what i'm saying anyways um what else was i saying oh yeah so that that's probably why uh drake has no nominations because uh drake doesn't submit his music they would easily put family matters up here if he would have submitted it i mean just to lose the kendrick of course they i mean it's politics at the end the day and j z just signed kendricks to do the super bowl i'm pretty sure he already picked

his winner as far as the grimmies I mean, if you choose somebody for the Super Bowl, probably are going to lean towards him winning a couple Grammy Awards. I mean, you know, it's not rocket science. So anyways, Kendrick won in this award by far. It's not even close. Let's go into Best R&B album. 1111 by Chris Brown.

Vanta Black by Lala Hathaway. Revenge by Mooney Long, algorithm by Lucky Day and then coming home by Usher. Now I'm not going to lie to you. Chris Brown's the most talented musician I've ever seen in life.

Overall, and not even musician, that's disrespectful. Chris Brown's the most talented person I've ever seen in life. I mean, he's an athlete, he's a painter, he's a rapper, he's a singer. I mean, y'all think that I praise Drake

overall as far as the sentiments i have towards chris brown this man is talented in ways that can't even be described apparently when p ditty's sons were fighting ray j because of ray j's comments on p ditty taking you know what chris brown came out and broke up the situation so this man's even the a1 peacemaker i mean his man just has it all i wouldn't have been surprised if he got out the car like spider man did a couple back flips landed in the middle of them in the superhero pose and told him to stop right so with that being said chris brown should easily win best rnb album because i did listen to 1111 phenomenal album obviously i compare this man to michael jackson from a talent standpoint because everything

from an artistry standpoint because technically sports is art hopefully that's not like surprising anybody but so from an artistry standpoint this man's the most talented artists I've ever seen ever all around talent

high quality top tier even to the point where even his hands are top tier I mean his left and is right I mean the Migos rest in peace to take off at the BET Awards about the 3V1 and Chris Brown was just chilling

he was just ready what's that podcast with I forget his name. I don't watch you that often. But I forget his name. But all the smoke, he was basically ready for all the smoke because when I tell you,

this man was chilling. He was actually chilling when he was coming to, yeah, he was like Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson the way he was just chilling because he was just ready for all the smoke. He wasn't even like moving around. He wasn't fidgeting. He was sitting there right in front of him. He goes,

letting them know like hey and that was they it was known beef it was in the same place 3 v1 could it easily got jumped probably would have got jumped if anything popped off and he was just chilling so that's a different level of uh that's a different level of ignorance i ain't going to lot to you because the 3b1 is insane but um you notice i didn't really talk about music because when it comes to music i mean i don't even no disrespect to the rest of these artists but nobody's singing like chris brown like i don't know like how else i could get it across other than calling him the most talented artist I've ever seen in life. Whenever this man did like three consecutive back flips and ended on beat,

whenever he was doing like a tribute for the BET Awards, I forget what it was. I think it was maybe a Michael Jackson tribute. This man did like three back flips and landed on beat and then walked off for the end of his performance. Mind you, he was dancing for like the past 10 to 20 minutes and then he pulled that off. That's one of the many accomplishments. But y'all going to say I'm doing.

on it so we're just gonna stop 11 11 by chris brown should definitely win best rnb album but because of his allegations he's he should just be glad that he received a nomination like at least he's not on the morgan walling and nicky minage outcast list at least he got a nomination but um grammies would be you know what to to have chris brown win a grammy because if it's not off screen i mean only way I can see Chris Brown winning if it's off screen because brands and sponsorships completely bring up Chris Brown and Rihanna's situation

time and time again and that is why Chris Brown has certain issues even up to this day I mean I think I could find it as far as Chris Brown and it was the All-Star game Chris Brown All-Star and y'all know he's been at the All-Star game

dropping triple doubles, right? Like I said, all around talent. Chris Brown, all-star game, and it was a whole debacle because the NBA asked Chris Brown to play in the all-star game, only for them to back out because of the sponsors, right? Then Chris Brown let his fans know, you know, he threw no shade at the NBA. He was just like, I'm not going to be there because of differences or whatever. And now the NBA even put out a statement. They was like, nah, we even invite him in the first place.

Like, Chris Brown can't win for losing, man. I swear to you. like to the point where the NBA was lying so heavy right because the NBA came out and the yeah the NBA came out basically said he was not invited to the because I was trying to find the actual I don't see the statement where they say he wasn't going to play oh yeah here we go Okay, so Ruffles was the brand that supposedly had problems with Chris Brown. Like, you're not having like a top five chip brand. Like, how you got this much power?

Anyways. So, no, it wasn't Doritos, wasn't Lays, wasn't Cheetos. Ruffles, out of all chip brands, was talking stuff about not having Chris Brown in the All-Star game. And they put out this trash statement saying Ruffles sponsored last night's NBA, all-star celebrity game I can't read Ruffles but no I didn't read it right

my fault Ruffles sponsored last night's NBA All-Star celebrity game however we did not have any involvement nor visibility to any player decisions or a celebrity invite discussion

and then guess what and then guess what this man Chris Brown came with the receipts and when I say he came with the receipts let's pull it up right quick because not only is the A1 and everything he does but he's even an A1 truth teller

he put gunna to shame he came with receipts this man said guess what I was asked by the NBA to play an all-star game this year only for them to call and say they couldn't do it because of their sponsors like Ruffles right at this point I'm sick of people bothering me and I'm tired of living in a past

I posted the email so y'all can see because of course a one truth teller um so as you can see right here this is the email right they invited him we wanted them to be we want you to be a part of the experience sent you the jerseys and everything and then of course now he can't go and then he said on his story and then this is what ruffles put out in response to that so you know ruffles was just hating i don't know what it is about ruffles but hey lucky uh safe to say that Chris brown hopefully will be like the star of the next all-star game because I just don't understand why he's still dealing with certain things when he's already faced the justice system.

Rihanna's forgiving him and so much time has passed to the point where we've seen change behavior as far as not going back in jail because of doing that. Hopefully that makes sense. Anyways, so best case scenario, I could see Chris Brown winning. worst case scenario i could see grammy's pulling a ruffles and saying you know what you being Grammy nominated is enough we're not

just going to give you the win we're not going to give you the win but basically the nomination is enough so I can see them pulling that trick all right so best r&B album I think it should go to Chris Brown

but if it doesn't go to Chris Brown it should go to Chris Brown so that should let y'all know where I stand on Chris Brown, right? Best progressive R&B album. Talk about being progressive, right? What is this, flow? I'm just playing, my fault.

All right, you can throw your tomatoes. Um, I don't know any of these. I guess I'm not progressive, dang. Best R&B, a song, Burning. What type of song is it? No, I just play a little true. Here we go.

Ruin me Saturn. Oh, okay, I know these. Okay, best R&B. these are kind of weak I'm not going to like to you these are kind of weak I don't know if it's because I'm not as I feel like I'll be paying attention

to the R&B field but maybe not as because R&B really isn't chart topping like hip hop other than Siza that's why Saturn is probably the song that I recognize the most on this nomination's list so

I do say because you sell a lot does not equal quality but in the case of Siza I'm not going to lie to you she consistently puts out heat so I'm gonna go with Saturn so sorry for the other contestants

I haven't heard any of those tracks except for burning from Tim's I did hear that track and I think I think I've heard Here We Go by Mooney Long by Coco Jones but I'm not like

for sure so I'm gonna go with Saturn Saturn by Siza I mean it's just straight fire, especially the chorus. What should say? Life's better on Saturn? I feel you. You know what I mean? Sometimes I feel like I can leave Earth too. I mean, not a bad way though. That was a little morbid. Not in that way.

Just like as far as an adventurous way. You know, like the magic school bus, that type of way. Not the other way. Y'all was probably like, are you okay? I'm just flound. I'm right. best traditional R&B performance Wet That's how you know that's a traditional R&B This song called Wet Just straight to the point

Marsha Ambrosius I can't pronounce none of that Can I have this groove By Kenyon Dixon No Lie by Lala Hathaway Featuring Michael McDonald That's a name if I ever heard one

make me forget my mooney long this this track must be fired because i think i've heard i think i've seen this multiple times on these lists that's you by lucky day oh and that's it okay so we have wet can i have this groove no lie make me forget and that's you now you know how i call out you know how i called out your button for basically not being in tune with music which if you really press him enough he'll probably just say that because usually he backtracks whenever he doesn't have a point to attach to it or if he can't gas light you know what i mean if he if you just got him dead to rights he'd just be like i was just joking so now it's like you know what i mean now you got let it go but as far as him saying women was falling off and he was completely wrong because sexy

red and glorilla as far as the modern up-and-coming rappers was the ones putting up the bigger numbers and you see another up-and-coming rapper only up-and-coming rapper really on this list as far as the rap well i guess already said that it's doshi everybody else is established only people who's up and coming is dochi and glorilla why do y'all think that is women rappers as far as the up and coming rappers have been putting on the hip hop more than the male rappers when it comes to engagement and analytics now of course quality level is a whole other discussion with dochey it's the flip side though quality level she's been um it's been a general consensus that is straight fire.

Like she's the female Kendrick or something like that. I don't even know. Basically, I mean, she's the own person, but you know what I'm saying? Like, as far as lyrically and putting bars together, they say the quality level is through the roof. But as far as the charts in what she's sold, I don't think she sold that much.

Let me see. Which is why I always reiterate. Just because you sell low doesn't not mean you have below average quality. It's just, you know, it's just a lip-misage. scale for a consumption. So let me see. Docee, yeah, do she had 11,000 sales first week. So that's why I always say, just because you have a low first week sales does not mean

you have a low average quality. It's just the consumption level, the level of anticipation, you weren't able to build up and people just didn't care like that. But quality level was still high, obviously, as she has a Grammy nomination. So anyways, so it could be So two things could be true As far as you streaming a lot Ending up on these nominations like a GloRilla

And then on the flip side, quality level But the streams may not be as high as far as a dosi So women rappers really been putting on as far as the up-and-coming Players in hip-hop So when Joe Biden famously said Hold up because I think I've said that too many times And I played a clip

I think he says over for female rappers i don't know if this is gonna pull up uh let me see that was him going at uh cardy b i think uh b fan i don't think let's see what he want ever got um yeah right i know i think that was carty b oh yeah here we go oh yeah perfect this this is exactly the video i was talking about all right so this man is just completely being ignorant uh as far as not paying attention to the not paying attention to the music escape in the slightest and this is his take on women rap. The Drake Kendrick Lamar moment

that's what they need. Because they all hate each other. No, no, no, they don't. Slow down. They do all hate each other. No, no, but they really stand on business. They don't need that. That should have get ugly. No, what I mean is Kendrick had to come out and say, yo. All right, let me skip a little bit.

What are the records is popping and on the spring comer, everybody and everybody. Once you get the records you need, fire some. up especially if my target is popping underground artists putting in your lot of 60 package dressing y'all old's point of the girl wave is over yeah i believe that currently dosi and glorilla is the only up and coming hip-and-coming hip-hop players in the game to have a grammy nomination and if you want to go on the objective side of things sexy red and glowrilla is the only major players consistently throughout the year of 2024 when it comes to the up-and-coming hip-hop rappers unless y'all want to unless the guys want to

claim tommy richmond i mean if y'all want the hip-hop version of ice j-j-j-j fish y'all can have them but disregarding the top dogs in the in the industry as far as drake kendrick and travis scott of course and Tyler the creator when it comes to up-and-coming and new artists girl rappers are running the game and are putting on for hip-hop so this take is just beyond ignorant. You said the girl's putting in your ladder. The girl wave is over from the label's point of view, meaning the label are not finding one of y'all with a little bit of audience,

getting y'all to BBL or the 360 package. Let's go to, uh, yeah, y'all get the point, right? I don't really have to keep doing this. I mean, sexy red is literally under, um, Larry Jackson, who's one of the most powerful industry,

uh, one of the most powerful humans in the music industry. So, as far as, um, Let me see. As far as in sexy we trust, it's under, I think it's under gamma. Yeah, rebel slash gamma under Larry.

That's Larry Jackson's label. If y'all don't know Larry Jackson, hey, it's like the Lucian Grange of like sub-division. Not subdivision. That's a little disrespectful. Larry Jackson's very powerful. Let me just put it like that. And he invested a lot into sexy red. Why do you think Drake is doing all these features with sexy red?

And then you have Glorilla. She's under, um, YG, I believe. Yeah, CMG slash Interscope record. So he's just very much talking out of his, you know what. Dressing y'all up, putting y'all with some real gangster niggas, paying to get y'all the record and paying for the rest of it. No, they're not doing that anymore.

So anyways, after that ignorant take, let's get back to the Grammy nominees. So, yeah, back to the rap performance. The only up-and-coming rappers are women as far as Doshi and Gloverilla. Who would have thunk? So anyways, yeah, that's why I was, and I said way back then that his take was wrong because Sexy Red and Glovilla was on fire on the charts. I mean, they still, I think they still have some hits on the charts. Let me see.

Sexy Red. Oh, no, she doesn't. Okay, so she's done for the year, but she still had a phenomenal run. Glorella still has the top 10 hit with a sticky. Oh, yeah, sexy's on that track. So technically, she's on that track as well. So they both are on a top 10 track in the world hit, right? Glorilla and Sexy Red, I'm tripping.

I don't know what I type. That's what I'm saying. Every time I type in Sexy Red, I swear I mess it up and there's some crazy stuff. It don't pop up, but it's like some crazy stuff is about to pop up to where like a little indicator is like, oh, are you sure you want to search this? It's like a safe search feature. I'm like, this girl got to change your name.

But anyways, Glorilla and Sexy Red basically have the 30th most played track in the world right now, right? and then TGIF 36 most played track in the world by Glorilla So and then you have I love her the 90 She has a track with T Payne okay now The 91st most played track in the world And then she has Hold On which is the 96 most played track in the world I don't have to keep letting y'all know that Joe Bunny was wrong right But it's okay

You know he's old you know what I mean like at some point Somebody has to point it out and just let you know that you know maybe, just maybe, you're not as in tune in the music field, which, you know, it's okay, you know, it's okay. But the way he just confidently says the most false things is just like beyond me. So anyways, I still watch him though because he's entertaining. But, you know, as far as fact check and, you know, analytic dreams, I got to do that. You know, we got to go about the objective stats, you know what I'm saying? Anyways, what's what I'm talking about? Okay, so best R&B song goes to Saturn as far as Siza.

traditional R&B performance oh we already okay we already did all these where are we at best R&B performance I think that's what we're at yeah because I haven't seen this okay guidance by Jena Ako residuals by Chris Brown goodness here we go by Coco Jones made for me by Mooney Long yeah this this track must be made for me oh that's a that's different than make me forget okay anyways this is gonna make me go back to some R&B albums because you know i'm not ashamed to admit i may not be as in tune with some of these rnb acts so i had to listen to them um because i don't think rnb sales as much anymore but you know as far as quality level i wouldn't mind going back and just listening that's another thing while i love going through these nominations

be like oh let me check out that album you know that's another thing that the nominations help as far as up-and-coming artists anyways um and then we have saturn by ciza so what i would say is is my sentiments on Chris Brown's on Chris Brown have not changed but to be fair Janaya Ako is probably the trendsetter when it comes to OG women aren't R&B vocalists as far as the way that she constructs her tracks if you don't believe me just listen to any up-and-coming R&B act and listen to them talk about if they're a woman listen to them talk about Janette Ako like she really for all intents and purposes has a lot of intuitive approaches to the way she puts songs together to the point where she could arguably be

you know how niki be like all these girls are my sons that's basically what janea echo could say to the up-and-coming rnb x that are women so i'm gonna go with guidance off of that i'm just gonna go with guidance because i've heard guidance straight fire and as far as artists who's deserving definitely i go to janea yiko and obviously i'm a little petty but because I just want Big Sean to have a fire lit under him to give us some more energetic deliveries on verses. So maybe he will end up on some type of performance category, right? Anyways, Best Alternative Music Album.

Okay. So now we get into the experimental side of things, right? so best alternative music album i don't know any of these names so we're just going to keep going best alternative music performance best rock album best rock song is uzi on here not just playing a little bit show uh best metal performance uh best rock performance you know the amount of experimental music that trippy red uzi and playboy carty put put out you would have thought they would had at least some type of rock nomination like are they just that garbage when it comes to rock music i don't know people who listen to rock majority at a time will have to let me know um

best remix recording okay we're going to pass that one uh best dance slash electronic album best dance pop recording okay uh i know billy elish and ariana gritty Brandi's track off of here, but I don't know the other one, so I can't really speak on this. Best dance, electronic, no. Best pop vocal. Let's see. Ooh, okay, yeah, no, this is a good one. Best pop vocal album, short and sweet by Sabrina Carpenter, Billy Eilish.

Oh, no, that's not how it goes. Hit me hard and soft. That is an album title, if I ever heard it. I ain't going to lie to you. You tell you a significant other. to hit you hard and soft and they may fall of love i ain't got a lot to you that's a phenomenal album title so um eternal sunshine by ariana grande chapelle rowan the rise and fall of a midwest princess another fire who is writing these titles for these pop artists i mean goodness and then you have the tortured

poet's department now they're on fire whoever writing these titles for these albums they was in their bag i mean that's some fire that is I ain't gonna lie all of these are kind of promiscuous but you know it's whatever with that being said best pop of best pop vocal album what I personally listen to and yes I did listen to

I'm not gonna say all these albums I listen to all of these albums except for Chappelle Rowan so I would have to go with Ariana Grande is it was all right Billy Elish I don't like a lot I really enjoy Taylor Swift album. I'm going to get you back is my favorite track off of that album. Down Bad is a

straight vibe. I love the melodies of that track. High school, I love the overall vibe of that track and the melody and the way she attacked it with the chorus. Yeah, that was off the top. A lot of the songs off the Torture Poet Department that I really enjoy. So I'll probably say that one. I was thinking about Sabrina Carpenter but uh no I had to go to Taylor Swift Taylor Swift is not leaving without a Grammy I bet you that I bet you that so the torture poets department will probably win best pop vocal album then we have best pop duo slash group performance we have us with Gracie Abrams featuring Taylor Swift Levi jeans with Beyonce featuring Post Malone guests by Charlie XX and Billy Ilish.

The Boy is Mine by Ariana Grande, Brandy and Monica. Oh, this one is nominated. You know, it's so funny. That's actually one of my favorite tracks off of the album. I do love how the background vocals and just the layering of the breath and the breathing that mimic the way they did it back in the old school days as far as R&B adlips. Now, to people, I think that's just confusing it. Confusing in general.

But for people who like really like either understand music or make music, you understand what I'm saying. Like she really mimic that old school breathing pattern and adverbs as far as the second layering verse under her actual verse. Hopefully that makes sense. So when Brandy and Monica actually hopped on a remix, I mean, it made all the sense in the world. That track is phenomenal. them. So I don't know who that's a tough one.

Taylor, it does look like it's going to be Taylor Swift versus Beyonce as far as this Grammy award show. So as far as politics, I'm not going to lie to you. It's definitely going to be some name recognition over the quality. So, oh, I did not see Die with a smile. I'm tripping. That's probably going to win.

I ain't going to lie to you. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars came out of nowhere in 2024 with a bona fide hit. I mean, statistically still, let me look. It's still the third most play. Yeah, it's the second most play track in the world. Been on the charts for about 12 weeks. I can see this one winning. I mean, obviously, like I keep saying,

because you have high amount of streams does not mean it's high quality. But that track is phenomenal. So it's one of those to where, like, for example, a track that has tremendous numbers on the charts that I think, I think it's just horrendous. is um million dollar baby by Tommy Richmond i don't know what it is about people loving hip hop from people outside of the culture but didn't get mad and when they say they're not hip hop but the champion of Tommy richman for him to turn around and say he's not a rapper or he's not

hip hop i'm just looking at y'all who supported him and i just want to let y'all know that i told you so stop supporting these people outside of the culture who are going to just turn their as soon as you make their famous as soon as you make them famous they're going to turn their back on a culture and not uplift it right and not only that million dollars baby is it's trash that man sound like ice j j fish in 2024 anyways all right so back the rossam that's why i'm saying like just because you stream a lot doesn't mean it's high quality but with die with a smile is definitely top tier and bruno morris and lady gaga definitely put out a bona fide hit with that track So I can see Dahl with a smile winning.

I think if Taylor Swift and Beyonce was to lose, it would be the Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars is really like that. So, yeah, I know it's probably a hot take because to say that Beyonce and Taylor Swift in one category is going to lose, but it can happen. If Bruno Morris is going to win, I don't think we need anything else. But if it happens, I think it would be Bruno Mars. Anyways, Best Pop Solo Performance. We have bodyguard by Beyonce, Expresso by Sabrina Carpenter,

Apple by Charlie XCX, Birds of a Feather by Billy Elish, and Good Luck Bay by Chappelle Rowan. I can see this going to go on to Sabrina Carpenter. I do believe Sabrina's going to leave out with something, and I would say Best Pop solo performance. Actually, she's such a new artist, but it is a singular track.

So going off of my theory, she should still be favored for this, because Expresso was a hit. and I do think quality level it was deserving of that so I don't know birds of a feather is also a pretty good track I feel like I feel like it's between those two I've heard all these tracks but I prefer as far as like me on my own time if I was like to actually listen to it express so I think it's pretty far I think you should go to Sabrina for best pop solo performance so then we have oh oh So these are the big categories.

All right. So now they're just showcasing all the credits, right? Because these are the big dog selections. So anyways, the general field, we have songwriter of the year. Jesse Alexander, Ray. Oh, this is very interesting because it actually showcased the top tracks that they wrote for. This is a great list to be on. As a songwriter, this is something.

you would like aspire to to be on because this is basically me you you have the sauce like you internally have the sauce and are handing it out to different superstars in the game so this is a very interesting list to look at as far as the most impressive list on here um this guy wrote river dance river dance was a was a hit um this This man wrote Expresso. And he wrote, please, please, please. And he wrote Scared on My Guitar. Oh, goodness.

And he wrote Taste. Oh, he did Sabrina Carpenter's writer, ain't it? I may have to go with Amy. Oh, no, this man wrote for Carol G. I thought Carol G wrote our own music. Let me see, was it just once. Okay, it was just once. But this was a hit.

No, this, right here, to have written this song, that's Analytic Dreams video on Spotify. did the video along with the audio because I'm highlighting the words but um to have written this to have wrote this song um pretty significant accomplishment so i would probably say yeah that's that's pretty big uh uh lies lies lies keith urban two hearts okay the most impressive from what i've seen just off of pure glance not glance but you know off of initial evaluation i would probably say amy allen and ray it's probably between those two yeah it's probably between those two and i think it should go to amy i think amy having espresso please please please

and taste that's just that's just too much of a resume to not give it to her so songwriter of the year i think she go to amy allen so yeah all right producer of the year We have Alyssa, uh, Derniste D. Mile, um, I don't know.

I say what. I don't know if there is. Ian Fichuk. What about these names? Oh, muster. Yo, isn't it funny?

The hip-hop producer has the least amount of credits. I swear our genre just gets disrespected. Like, where is Metro? Like, who votes on these things? Where is Metro?

Metro put out two albums that changed the culture forever. We don't trust you. was the the straw that broke the camels back to us getting the greatest hip-hop beef, the hip-hop beef of all time. Like, why has mustarded on here?

Because he produced not like us. There's faith of a must-a-see. Y'all ain't even listen to the album. People who voted for this, y'all ain't even listen to the album because, all right, now I got to pull-up numbers. You know, people be... Nah, y'all didn't even listen to this album.

I'll remember reporting on this album begging Kendrick to please post something about a producer who gave him not like us and nobody cared right DJ Mustard um let me see DJ mustard uh DJ mustard had oh wow 18,000 first week I don't even know if it was that I think that's that's that's pretty hot because Lotto had like 25,000 first week I believe Um, okay, here it is. Okay, so DJ Mustard sold 17,000 first week. Right.

So with that being said, y'all didn't listen to this album. I don't care what y'all saying. Like the people who's talking about the album being so well produced, y'all didn't listen to it. Y'all, y'all can convince me that y'all listen to this entire body of work and thought it was like Grammy nomination worthy. You know what is Grammy worthy? We don't trust you.

and we still don't trust you. I don't understand the disrespect to Metro Boone. Why is he now on this list? So that's, you know, I get it. If not like us was the sole credit, I understand. But it's not enough for a nomination. I don't care. Like, I think you get a Grammy if you make the beat for the record

or for the best rap performance because he, because of him being a producer on that track, I think he will also get a Grammy. But as far as, producer of the year. Are y'all insane? Mustard over Metro booming. I don't even, he's been going at my favorite rapper, and I'm still over here co-signed in Metro Boomin. This is insane. Who's voting on this? I got to know, man. You know how,

I don't want to get too political, but you know how they talk about voter IDs? We need to start seeing some of y'all resumes, man, because this is insane. Like, it's, why is mustard over Metro? That's all I want to know. Not even no disrespect to Metro, disrespect to mustard. as i'm not going to lie i must do it probably say he had a better year than the metro simply off of not like us being probably the most successful hip-hop disc track of all time but in totality i don't know not like us did did put up numbers but to have the album on here and another song like come on now like if you're gonna nominate him just say it was for not like us like we want to

be mad like forget it like not like us is that big to where if it's just that that that's the only reason for on here that would be okay but to have the album they have parking lot on here y'all ain't listened to neither of those so stop stop stop stop the cap would be lucey stop the cap so um yeah i don't know why this didn't go to uh metro booming like this like this like we i may not go to him but i don't know why he's not on this list anyways because that threw me all the way off i was like mustard muster muster over metro anyways um all right so produce of the year Alicia, I don't know any of these. Derniste, I don't know any of these.

Ian Fitzchuk, don't know any of these. Mustard, Negro. Daniel Negro. Oh man, I'm a child. Imagine a dude named Negro writing for Olivia Rodrigo. I think he has to win simply off that. I mean, he'd just be racism to his highest degree. Like, as far as having a name like that,

still being allowed to write for, you know what I'm saying? Because you already know that? It's probably like, you're going to let who write for you? Actually, it's probably up the alley. Anyways, let me get off that topic. All jokes aside, Daniel writing for Olivia Rodriguez. It's a pretty big deal, I think. And also he wrote the Hunger Games, one of the soundtracks from that.

And he wrote, oh yeah, and he, I forget, I keep. him, right? He's producing for those. And it also produces Chappelle Rowan, the rise and fall of the Midwest Princess. So, I think Daniel should win this. Yeah, Daniel will probably win this. All right. Best New Artist. Now, this is when things get dicey. Because now we have to talk about politics.

Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Doshi. I can't pronounce that. How you pronounce this? Hold up. Let me see if I can have the AI read this off. N. 5. All right. That's not.

I wasn't even remotely what I highlight it. But whatever. I'm just going to try to pronounce it. Karu-en-Ning-ben. Karun-Ning-ben. Yeah, I probably completely bushed that. I apologize. I swear I'm not trying to be funny.

I just couldn't get it right. Then you have Ray. Then you have Chappelle Rowan. then you have Shibuzi and then you have Teddy Swims Hmm Best new artist is definitely going to Sabrina Carpenter I'm sorry to let y'all know and to

cut the suspense short But politics wise Sabrina Carpenter is going to get this For the simple fact that Multiple of her tracks have already been nominated for a Grammy If you noticed Shibuzi really has only received One nomination that's for a bar song

They haven't really been putting any respect On this album So Sabrina Carpenter is going to win this by far. So best new artist is going to Sabrina Carpenter. Song of the Year. Not going to lie. I know the politics choice for the simple fact that this is the big four, right? A bar song, well, you see the list.

I've already read them off. The only new one is Fortnite by Taylor Swift and Post Malone. And that's the only new one. Okay. So that been said, as you can see, see right here the song of the year is bar i'm just going to read it off for the people listening but you should be watching along with analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio song of a year a bar song birds of a feather die with a smile

fortnight good luck babe not like us please please please and texas hold them now song of the year should be a bar song by shaboo I'm not going to lie to you. It's not close. So nothing else should beat that at all. Politics-wise, I could see

song of the year. Actually, man, forget that. Man, bar songs should get it by far. I'm sorry. Like, everybody at the bar is getting tipsy. You know what I'm saying? Give this man the awards he deserve

for making a Deniable classic body of work and also an undeniable hit with the track of our song. I'm not even going to say what I think the political choice would be, but I do, I'm at to say it anyways. I do think it would be between Taylor Swift and Beyonce. I think it, I think this is shaping up to be Taylor Swift, not versus Beyonce, because they're both on good terms, but as far as the Grammys, they're going to, they're going to make that happen because people love controversy.

So that being said, I think, I think politics wise, they're going to either choose Beyonce said Taylor Swift, I think it should go to Shibuzi. All right, so album of the year. Now, this is when things get beyond interesting. What in the world is Andre 3000 doing on this list? Am I on earth too? Did I not experience the same year that these voters experience? We're in the world where people saying Andre 3000s flew out.

Hold up. Y'all even, because y'all gonna think he was rapping. Y'all, y'all gonna think I'm disrespecting this man's rapping ability. Let me just look this up right quick because I don't think y'all understand how egregious this is. New Blue Sun, an album by Andre 3000, right? This album is solely flute.

Once again, this album is solely flute. There's no rapping. There's no ASMR spoken. word. This album is entirely flute. Woodwinds particularly

various types of flutes. There's no way on God's Green Earth that an album entirely of flutes is a nominee for album of the year.

All right. So, Andre 3,000 sort of similar to my Jermaine take on best rap album just is very undeserving of being on this list. Like, it's probably one of the worst nominations for album of the year that we've ever received in their Grammys. And I'm being so serious. An album consistently of only flutes. All right. I don't think y'all can't think you understand.

I don't think you understand. Y'all got to listen to that album. y'all got to listen to the album to see how egregious this is this is different this is different shout out to j z though man whatever uh cowboy carter i don't even know if you're under jz i'm just i'm throwing all type of well germain is but i don't know about andre i'm i don't know who he under probably himself to be so iconic that you can just completely just give up on rap put out an album consistently a flutes and still get a Grammy nomination like i mean just spit on hip-hop at this point I mean, just tell us, you know, it's raining, just, you know, do your thing.

I mean, at this point, the type of disrespect is insane. These artists just do whatever they want, and people just still give them Grammy nominations. All right. Cowboy Carter by Beyonce. Definitely deserving. Short and sweet by Sabrina Carpenter, beyond deserving. Brat by Charlie XX. DeJ.

Jesse, Volume 4 by Jacob Collier. hit me hard and soft i don't know why that album title so far by billy isle irene the rise and fall of a midwest princess and then you have the tortured poets department by taylor swift okay so politic decision album of the year is definitely going to bianca there's a reason why i played the clip that j z was going off as far as um complaining about Jay-Z, about Beyonce, never getting, hold up, it's right here. To quote that, most Grammys, never won an album of a year.

That doesn't work. How about that? The most Grammys, never won an album of a year. That doesn't work. To quote Sean Carter, the most Grammy nominations, never won album of the year. How does that work?

That was just last award show. she's up again for album of the year y'all let me know who come on now at this point y'all should know j z is a mastermind manipulator this man know what he's doing bianca's gonna win it's not even close

so um i think that's why they threw andre on here they probably just started off with hey we know bioncy's gonna win this award let's just throw some other names on here so this is the one award as far as the big for that the possibility or the percentage I think is the highest for Beyonce to walk away with. If she doesn't win any award,

she's definitely winning this one. So anyways, yeah, album of the year is definitely going to Calbuquerque. He's simply off politics and off of what Jay-Z says. I'm sorry, he just has that type of power. One man is doing 10 years in prison right now

because of Jay-Z's team and the way they're able to spend the narrative. So with that being said, record of the year. This is a good. good one. And surprisingly, the Beatles on here. What in the world?

When they start releasing music? Hold up now. The Beatles. Am I out of the loop? When they put out a track? All right. Let me see. The Beatles.

Is it the remaster? If it's a remaster, that I don't count. It can't be a remaster. Now and then. Okay, it seems like it's a new track. There's a whole new track. drop november 2nd 2023 hold up i don't remember even seeing this i does not come across my timeline come on now you know i like the uh beetles lucy in the sky with diamonds come on now uh the beetles

did i spell that right yeah i don't see it's not trotting i guess um yeah i guess it's just completely skipped my radar but anyways uh it's on here so i i can't really say anything about the beetles i mean the beatles speak for itself i mean it's one of the greatest one of the reasons I even got into rock band was because of the famous song from the Beatles Lucy and the Sky with Diamond so like like come on now like they really be putting out top tier music when it comes to just overall music production in general anyways record of the year Texas Hold'em expresso what's a difference between record of the year a song of the year wait hold up I really need to know that okay so record of the year award to the artists and to the producers

recording engineers and or mixers mastering and mastering engineers if other than the artist okay and then song of the year is a songwriter's award a song is eligible oh hold on now so does that mean let me type this in does that mean that rap performance um muster may not be able to get an award for that uh it doesn't say it doesn't say okay that's how you know it's a big four award these don't have any type of stipulations who all gets the award but you get up here to the to the big four like i kept saying and it gets all type of stipulations award to the artist producers record uh recording engineers mixers mastering engineers and then you come down to the song is like songwriters eligible for uh the artist's names that appear in parentheses so i think it's for the writers and the artist

well it literally says the songwriters um so yeah that's the difference. For those who wanted to know the difference between record a year versus a song of the year, pretty sure the producer would rather have record of the year. And the songwriter would probably rather have song of the year. So anyways, now and then by the Beatles. Then you have Texas Hold'em by Beyonce. Expresso by Sabrina Carpenter,

360 by Charlie XX, Birds of a Feather by Billy Elish, Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar, Good Luck Babe by Chappelle Rowan, and Fortnite by Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone. The Grammys, the 67th Grammy Award show that's set to take place February 2nd, 2025, has the chance to do something that's beyond hysterical. If they don't, well, rap performance, you have to give it to Not Like Us. if they end up giving white tank top record of the year for not like us, that would be the most degrading thing that they do as far as the hip hop feel. Because now people are going to look at hip hop as only being

the highest quality when we're tearing down another hip hop musician. I know you're y'all gonna be saying oh you on your soapbox uh you you preach into the choir something like that i don't think it's preaching to the choir but you're gonna say you preach and i ain't trying to hear that right y'all not y'all ain't come here for a sermon that's probably what y'all said but let me tell you y'all something irreversible air revocable damage will happen if not like us wins record of the year because now the grommies has set a stamp a bar that the only way a hip-hop musician could ever like hold How many rap songs have ever won record of you? Let's really, like, get into it.

Because I think, let's just do nominations as far as how many hip-hop records have been nominated or won record of the year. Because it can't be a lot. There's just no way. Okay, so MC Hammer in 1991 with You Can't Touch This. M&M with Lose Yourself in 2004. outcast with heya in 2004 Kanye West oh my goodness yeah multiple gold digger 2006

stronger in 2008 all of the lights in 2012 this is why we call Kanye overall in totality engineer and rapping considered the goat of hip-hop anyways Jay Z for 99 problems and back in 2004 hey they've had some

this is a pretty good list and it's pretty good list but you know still forget them for what they did DMX if you know you know empire state of my empire state of mine back in 2010 and then childish gambino for uh this is america back in 2019 which actually won the category okay so the only win ever was this is america by childish gambino okay oh so i'll take that back i mean that balances it out well hold up hold up you're telling me a song that started off as a drake disc track and y'all gonna think i'm you're Y'all gonna think I'm caping.

Hold on, let me pull this up. Cause, y'all, there's no way. I just put two and two together. I was like, hold on now. Wait, wait, one second. Wait one second. I got to play this clip now because y'all going to think I'm making this up. Started as a joke.

All right. I'm hard. My fault for it being so loud. To be completely. Now, we're going to put this on full screen because y'all, I don't want y'all to think I'm just being a Drake stand. If they give, I'm doing the science right now. For the song started as a joke.

To be completely. completely honest, like, this is America. Like, that was all we had was like that line. This is America. Don't got you slipping on. Look how I'm living off. And it started as a Drake disc. So forget that bar.

Let's talk about how the Grammy's about to set a precedent that the only way you can win record of the year as a hip-hop musician, as a hip-hop record, is if you dis Drake. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm done with the Grammys. I ain't going to lie to you. Now, Of course, not like us has, you know, technically it hasn't won the award.

But all I'm saying is the 67th Grammy Award show set to take place on February 2nd, 2025, has an opportunity to make the most hilarious decision of all time. What in the world are we going to do with our genre if the only way we get record of the year is to diss that Canadian? And with that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know in one of my social media is. What did you think about this lengthy breakdown of the Grammy nominations? Because, of course, like I kept saying, I covered this music landscape for this entire year. So I think I was very qualified to talk about a lot of different categories.

And of course, the ones I didn't know, I skipped. But as far as this informative segment, very lengthy. Pause, no ditty. But overall, what was your biggest takeaway from the breakdown? of the 67th annual Grammy nominations and what was your favorite nominee

and also who do you think is going to end up winning the most Grammys when the 67th Grammy Awards take place on February 2nd, 2025.
