Yeah, I guess it depends on what kind of person your mom is. Mine’s an academic, like I said, and in the humanities no less, so she watches shit like Bill Maher and John Oliver, and watches documentaries about popular culture. She mentioned “Blood on the Leaves” to me, actually. Asked how I could reconcile the distasteful use of the sample of a song that used to make Billie Holliday literally vomit when she had to sing it with my love for Kanye. But my mom is also *my* mom, and I don’t know if you all have noticed, but I can be kind of a bulldozer when it comes to talking about stuff I like. My mom had to learn about Nirvana, Radiohead, etc. and kept up with pop culture when I left. But yeah, ask your mom. I’d be interested to know. |

Eh, still gotta separate the music from the dumbass comments. I’m more surprised that she’d defend XXXtentacion than I am about her calling Hitler a “wonderful painter.” What a fucking weird time to make such ducking weird comments. Oh well. |

Jesus would have said everything that Badu said about Hitler.

I'm a broken record here, but -who cares about the Grammy's?- I mean, Bruno Mars winning Grammy's... doesn't surprise me or anything. I kind of assume that the sort of people who care about the Grammy's in general are probably big Bruno Mars fans.
I saw Ghost's Brown Tape reviewed on pfork which struck me odd. About midway thru they reference that this is a reissue of a limited cassette tape. No idea what they're talking about as I bought this album on CD in 2013 from a major retailer. Shrug.

I just looked at a list of Grammy winners...
What is the difference between album and record of the year? And how was Chappelles Netflix special considered a comedy album?

Album is an album. Record is a record. It’s old-timey language for “song that was commercially released as a single,” even though singles are very different beasts now. Album = Album Record = Single Song = Award for songwriting for a song... I think it has to still be commercially released as a single, but those days a video counts I guess. |

The Grammys occasionally nail a moment, but they almost never do so in the main categories. Album, record, song of the year. The irritating thing is that they try to give the appearance of choosing based on merit, but then they end up giving to the most friendly and familiar thing in these categories. I’m goddamn glad DAMN. didn’t win. That album has no business being “Album of the year.” It’s too goddamn good, and the year was too goddamn shitty. |

oh. A single. They should just call it that. But whatever. Grammy's still suck.
And I still don't get why a Netflix show would count as "an album". OH well.

Because almost all Netflix shows have accompanying playlists or digital soundtracks at this point. I’ll bet Chappelle’s is available in audio-only on iTunes or something. But yeah, that is weird. I just assume that they’re up in the air about what the fuck constitutes all these terms in the age of overlapping pan-media, and they’re just playing it by ear. Fucking Grammys are only cool when they make a legit good choice. I like the fact that Kanye has 21 of them, but if he didn’t, I’d think they were even more insane than they are. We’re talking about the institution that gave Eric Clapton’s unplugged album AOTY over fucking NEVERMIND. The fuck? Fucking what? Whaaaaaat? Not even a fucking album... not even a good LIVE album, beats the most important pop culture statement of the last 30 years. The fucking fuck? It’s like the Oscars’ less civilized cousin. And, like the Oscars, I like them when it serves me to like them. Hate them when it doesn’t. When it gives me argument fodder for morons who don’t think The Dark Knight is a great film, I’m on board. When Blade Runner 2049 is snubbed, I’m spitting flames. But I’m glad DAMN. didn’t win. It would take something away from it, I think. I do think Jay Z or even Lorie would have been a better choice than Bruno goddamn Mars though. |

Kendrick is now where Kanye was in ‘08. Three huge albums, all nominated for AOTY, all snubbed. Just sayin’.

Maybe that Chappelle is on iTunes. I don't know. It's not on Spotify.
