I'm actually excited.

that new Kendrick song though, hot damn. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/...ker-the-berry/

[louder]

wow, after a few listens i can say that Kenny truly redeemed himself with one. this is so much better than "i" (and i liked that song). new album might as well make Good Kid seem like child's play.

[Severian]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Good Kid will probably never be outdone.

I'm so glad I didn't watch the Grammys. Yeah, Beck's album was not by any means the best, but Beyonce's didn't deserve to win just because Beyonce's never won before. I mean- Beck hasn't even won the big award before, though he's been nominated for it several times.

Anyway, the point is Beck doesn't "have" to do anything. He didn't make the decision. He had NO say actually. And him giving his award to Beyoncé would accomplish literally nothing. Beyoncé would have an award she didn't win, with Beck's name on it, and she'd probably be pissed.

I love Kanye, but Beck is one of the only people in pop music who realt DOESN'T need to "respect artistry" any more than he already does. He's made albums in a dozen different genres, showing an appreciation of everything from hip hop to hardcore to noise to folk to funk to folk to hip hop again. He clearly respects the shit out of music, and he took this all in stride, saying it was an honor to have Kanye up there and even agreeing that Beyoncé should have won.

What a nice dude. Kanye's bustin the wrong balls, and I face-palmed when I read this story. And this is why I don't read about Yeezy.

And anyway, Beck and Beyonce are two of the biggest names in music. As is Kanye. Kanye's really pissed that the panel doesn't give enough awards to black people. But Beck has been ducked around a lot by the Grammys.... Odelay, Mutations, Midnite Vultures and Sea Change have all NOT won album of the year, just as Sasha Fierce, 4 and Beyoncé have not won. But part of me wonders if this is about the fact that 808's, MBDTF & Yeezus (not to mention Watch the Throne) weren't even nominated for album of the year.

Whatever let's not talk about this anymore.

[Severian]

Besides, SYRO should have won.

But Beck has been NOT winning Grammys since Before Kanye first heard Jay-Z. I remember they always gave him Best Alternative Album. He must be tied with Radiohead for that award. It's about time he won something that isn't announced two hours before the show starts.

Now I can't rememberif Odelay actually did win the big award or not. I guess it's possible, but I don't think so.

Kanye needs to stop worrying about this shit. How many truly great albums do win Grammys? Did White Light/White Heat? What about Nevermind? Daydream Nation? Eh? Did Kendrick win? Fuck no. I'm sure Beyoncé will recover.

[noisereductions]

in fairness, Beyonce's album is better than Beck's. And I'm a huge Beck fan. And I really liked Morning Phase.

But also who cares about Grammys?

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Y'all sipping the kool aid. Kanye got too stop trolling us. BECK is the definition of an artist, beyonce is a glorified back up dancer who can sing. She is a "vocalist" not an artist.. and i aint hatin on her by the way. Propz to her but better "artist" than Beck? Do i really have to even respond to that nonsense.. sorry Kanye but while this track came out 14 motherfucking old but more relevant now than ever..

"Would you rather have a lexus or justice a a dream or substance a beamer a necklace or freedom? Me i don't playa hate i just stay away this is REAL hip hop.."

[noisereductions]

it was ALBUM of the year, not ARTIST of the year. Beck is the better artist, but Beyonce's album was better than his.

Again, who gives any F's about a Grammy tho?

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Kanye apparently and dude explicitly said respect artistry

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

"The Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t finna play with them no more. “Flawless” Beyoncé video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé. And at this point, we tired of it! Because what happens is, when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music. You’re disrespectful to inspiration. And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place. Then they do this whole promotional event, and they’ll run the music over somebody’s speech, the artist, because they want a commercial advertising. Like no, we not playing with them no more. And by the way, I got my wife, I got my daughter, and my clothing line, so I’m not finna do nothing to put my daughter at risk. But I am here to fight for creativity, that’s the reason why I didn’t say anything tonight, but y’all know what it meant when ’Ye walked on that stage."

Two things.. (a) kanye is again dissing beck as an artist, is this ninja really that self absorbed or just an asshole and (b) worried bout his clothing line all the more is why Bigger Than Hip Hop explains it all and is still relevant after 14 fucking years. Mainstream rap is a joke, at least tupac was about something

i agree. but JUST A FEW DAYS AGO he said that having a daughter turned him into a better person, and he learned to shut up.. yeah right.

seems like Kanye will always be Kanye.

At the airport, a cameraman asked, “Kanye, when you said Beck needs to respect artistry, are you implying he’s not an artist?” West then clarified his comments.

“No, I wasn’t saying Beck, I was saying the Grammys!” said West. “Beck knows that Beyonce should have won.” When another paparazzo asked, “Had you ever heard of Beck before yesterday?” West replied, “Come on, man, I love Beck. But he ain’t have Album of the Year.”

ok now this is already much more reasonable. why didn't he say THAT at the grammys??

i can't see why not. he's gonna come up with a crazy concept again, except this time he's angrier. it's gonna be a dark album.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Again, kanye is totally free to his lame opinions and the grammys are total shit but let beck have his award. Kanye increasingly comes across as petty and immature and if that's what he going for whatever but i prefer my artists to.have substance instead of being class clowns. Also fuck beyonce sick of everybody have to worship at her idol. Chick was lame ten years ago and lame now. I bet she is embarrassed at kanye nonsense. Attention kanye: the grammys are lame,why give any fucks about it if your're legitimately concerned with art? Im done ranting. And to appease severian YES I HAVE LISTENED TO KANYE ON YOUTUBE to honestly check him out and im just not feeling it which makes his personality even more annoying to me.but hey, i can admit that i am often a hater but I NEVER HATE WITHOUT HONESTLY CHECKING SHIT OUT FIRST

true, it's sad that he'll never get over it.

[louder]

after last year's incident i love how Kendrick didn't even attend the event this year and still won 2 awards.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Poor beck, dude finally gets recognized and every body talkin bout kanye and beyonce. Again grammys are total shit and honestly i aint even heard becks "album of the year" but i have heard some of beyonce new shit and it ain't best of nothing so meh.. this is why i miss Nirvana who were the last main stream band to entirely make fun of mainstream music industry and all its self absorbed bullshit. Kurt was like when Dylan went electric or Neil Young released Tonight's The Night.. ZERO FUCKS GIVEN

[louder]

Kanye actually gave his award to Wayne in '08: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITEDJ6_HR-A

"I want to give this award to Wayne for this year. If this was last year, it would be my award, this year it's Wayne's award, we'll see what happens next year."

this warms my heart.

[noisereductions]

honestly the whole thing is stupid to me. Kanye gets upset at award shows. That's like... his thing. It's old hat. It's to be expected. It's NOT NEWS. Nor is it interesting. I dont' know why people are shocked every time it happens or even talk about it. It should just be "oh he did that again. Like every year." I get that this is the kind of self-absorbed stuff that is often why people don't like him. I guess I'm glad that I've always had a good ability to generally not care about these kind of talk-show fodder occurrences.
