The grammys are a joke now because there's nothing good left to give awards to :) But I must admit that Viva La Vida is damn good. But uh, please stop playing it EVERY GODDAMN SECOND. K?

I only watch every 3 years when weird al releases an album so I can hope for a comedy album win.

Grammy is are? Grammy is have?

Walker: The Grammy's are a joke. The Grammy's have always been a joke. That is all.

I didn't hear you saying that when Taste of Honey won Best New Artist. Or Milli Vanilli. or Men at Work. The Grammy's are the epitome of relevancy.

The Grammys are a joke because they give any kind of an award to "hip hop artists".

Call me gay all you want, but Viva la Vida is mighty fine music.

these are awards for album sales numbers right?

Lil Wayne is god-awful.

The last Lil Wayne verse I heard:

"blah blah mumble whiney voice/random drug reference/i'm the best/blah blah"



Lupe ftw!

Huh. I just mentioned Del in this other thread. Yay, multiple Del references.

The only cool thing about Lil' Wayne is the fact that he records and circulates forty billion songs a year, though most are variations and hybrids of his other work. If a talented artist did that, it would be very cool.

Del is goodshiat as well.

And I go by that same principal as far as the "Lil" goes.

Then too, just not as completely.

Yeah, but replacing that final 's' for a 'z' in the nickname is respect!

I caught about 10 minutes of this last night (hey, I watched Rudolph before it and I was a little curious). The only nomination I saw was for Best New Artist.

Four of them I did not recognize.
The fifth one was The Jonah Brothers.

The Grammys are a farking joke.

Hey now, thats uncalled for.

Oh god, let me fix that for you:




/much better

Thanks, Grammys, for reminding me just how asinine your awards are.

Bonzy20: Call me gay all you want, but Viva la Vida is mighty fine music.

You're not gay. I'M gay, and I have much better taste.

I used to ruuuuuuule the world...

Yeah it got stuck in my head because of this story, I have to live with it, now you do too.

Add Immortal Technique to that list as well.

Rush got nominated for a Rock Instrumental.

The song is a 2-minute 12-string acoustic guitar solo.

That was originally released last year.

The Grammys are retarded.

Whoa. They still have Grammys?

So they are a joke now, but not over a decade ago when they chose Jethro Tull over Metallica? Oooooooooooook.

Dude, it was 20 years ago. The fact is, many Farkers don't have a clue what you are talking about. Hell, even many Farkers who are old enough to remember probably don't know.

Though I think that is widely considered one of the all time biggest grammy mistakes.

awfulperson: Bonzy20: Call me gay all you want, but Viva la Vida is mighty fine music.

Checks profile....yep you're gay alright. Don't know about your music taste, but your taste in clothing is probably one of the gayest things I've ever seen.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BOOOOOOOOY!

no on hating on Radiohead yet? Am I on Fark?

of those nominated for AOtY, I would choose In Rainbows, but Plant/Krauss will probably win.

The funny thing is that someone over at pitchforkmedia is overjoyed at the nominations.

Walker: The Grammy's are a joke. The Grammy's have always been a joke. That is all.

This needs to be repeated.

I mean, Lil Wayne is condsidered the top rapper around?! There is no one else?! Are you farking kidding me?! Eight farking nominations?! My head is about to explode. He is not fit to farkin clean a gotdamn toilet.

irockalot: The funny thing is that someone over at pitchforkmedia is overjoyed at the nominations.

yeah, i thought it was more than a bit odd. Granted, it's better than the last few years of nominations, but that's a pretty low bar to clear.

Have the grammys ever meant anything? Or have they always just been a ploy to sell more albums?

Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive. Doubt it? Check the bank.

================

Jethro Tull is pretty good, last I checked. There not everyone's cup of tea style-wise (inc mine tbh) but they're certain good artists.

Also, all his verses are free-style. That leads to a little weirdness lately, but hell...you free-style thousands of poems while drinking dissociative antihistamine cough syrup and let's see you do it with nearly as much creativity or style.

I can happily report that I have not heard a single song from the latest Coldplay release or anything by Lil' Wayne.

/However I have, quite unhappily, heard that Bob Richie song that makes you frown when you realize it isn't "Werewolves of London". About a thousand times.

SquirrelWithLargeNuts: Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive. Doubt it? Check the bank.

yes, greatness is based on popularity.


he'll be yet another no-namer in 5 years like almost every hip-hopper from the past 15 years.

Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Gangstarr?

... what's that now? Lil' Wayne? Not Lil' Jon? Oh, dear. How embarrassing...

I like Lupe Fiasco. :(

His creativity certainly improved once he picked up the lean habit...that's when he started freestyling.
