Do We Care About The Grammys At This Point?

Do we care about the Grammys at this point? In case you do, Robert Glasper won Best R&B Album, Frank Ocean won Best Urban Contemparary album, Esperanza Spalding won Jazz Vocal album, Prince presented an award (and looked pretty badass doing it). Alabama Shakes, Carolina Chocolate Drops had nominations too. Voila!

Comment by Suede Jury on February 11, 2013 at 2:55pm: I am unsure of what you guys are opposed to here. Sure, Afro Punk originated as one thing and has evolved into another, but I don't see room for dissent when Afro Punk is a visible platform for quality music & musicians - many of color - to be heard. None of the artists mentioned above are anything less than QUALITY. Why NOT support them? Why NOT spread the word about them, whichever level of success they have achieved. Afro Punk has consistently shed light on quality artists from underground to internationally known, and everything in between. Good for them. Good for us.

Peace

Once upon a time (eons ago actually), you felt as an artist you had arrived if you received a Grammy; it meant that you had done something of substance and value, and you were being recognized for it; now every year we see artist (and i use the term loosely), receiving six, seven, eight, nine or more Grammys, for sub-par material, not very interesting production values, and questionable vocal ability:the Grammys have become the "it place" for the major industry labels to pat themselves on the back for their artist who are the ones who win every year-Sony, Columbia, Clive Davis... Hey i just got a great idea! Let's rename the Grammys...We'll call it ...Uncle Clives!

Comment by Baron samedi on February 11, 2013 at 11:01am: Yeah, great way to not talk about the Grammys..is to talk about the Grammys. The fact that some of the nominees who happen to be seen as "not rap" or "not R&B" were invited to this commercialfest so they can be seen proves how superficail AP is. What is punk about the Grammys?
