Why The Grammys Hate Travis Scott...

- After losing another Grammy for best rap album, the controversy between Travis Scott and the Grammys has never been worse, but what this tells us about the award show and their problems with hip hop as a whole will shock you...
the fact that rap isn’t broadcasted during the main event shows how little they respect the culture
Yet many still care about what they have to say or who doesn’t get which award
it’s becuz so many of the rap artists stopped going to the awards
The clip of Killer Mike getting arrested doesn’t help. Yeah sure Trav fans will use the optics of the situation to poke fun at him. But it proves a point Grammys dgaf about rap.
I mean it’s not like they never show it in the main broadcast ever, hell it was showed in last year’s show as well, it’s just that this year was the year they decided not to put it in the main show, still strange nonetheless
Frfr
it’s crazy to me that they gave this award out BEFORE THE SHOW. it’s crazy how much they disrespect hip hop
They didn’t broadcast it because they knew KM was going to win and KM doesn’t have enough star power to warrant him being on the telecast. It sucks but that’s how producers think. Had Travis won a big rap category they likely would’ve broadcast the category because he’s a big star
@@nameisaminenope. They never televise the rap awards.
@@Craftmaster3 one of the most viewed videos on the Grammy UA-cam channel is Cardi B’a acceptance speech for winning Best Rap Album. It was definitely televised.
@@nameisamine it’s historically uncommon
@@MONET8iAM rap categories were introduced in 89. They broadcast rap categories ever year from 1990 to 2015. That’s 25 years.
When The Weeknd made the ALBUM OF THE YEAR with After Hours, he was snubbed so hard at Grammys. Metro Boomin made a banger of album with multiple hits and was one of the producers of Spiderman animation sequel, but he lost in Producer of the Year to Taylor's producer.
I mean it was expected tbf, Jack Antonoff produced two of the AOTY nominated albums (Lana and Taylor's)
Jack Antonoff is a Grammy darling, you should’ve expected him to win. He’s won it the last 3 years in a row 🤷🏾♂️
@@nameisamineindustry plant vs starting from the bottom lmao
metro has good beats but tbh all he rlly does is sample beats and adds 808s and rap tracks to it
@@chloeeigthe spiderman album had amazing tracks tho
Even tho i expected Utopia to win, atleast Killer Mike actually dropped a solid project to lose to unlike Cardi B
cardis album is surprisingly great, lots oif the hate is almost certainely cuz shes a women and cu zthey dont lkike pro women messagings
exactly, plus using Mac’s name for views
Who even is killer mike?

Check his Run The Jewels albums. it's a collab group with this other rapper EL-P but it's still really good stuff to see what he can do
I feel like he deserved it more in Astroworld in 2019 than here with Utopia imo.
Astroworld losing to Cardi B was more unfair since that album actually sucked
10000% . I feel most people who are crying about this album not getting a Grammy are TS Stan’s. And this is coming from someone who was following him HEAVY back in the Owl Pharaoh - Astroworld days.
I agree. Cardi B robbed his ass
I agree
It was 2018 and yes he should’ve won over cardi
If he didn’t when for Astroworld he deserved this one
i'm not mad that Travis lost to Killer Mike, i'm literally so frustrated by the fact that the Grammys made the worst Taylor Swift album with absolutely mediocre songs win AOTY against SZA who had the best mainstream r&b album in years
yeah but taylor is the number one mosted listened to artist on spotify. If she didn't win album of the year everytime she dropped one, every swiftie would boycott the grammies.
the grammies are not even a respectable award anymore in general. all they do is give it to who will lose them the least viewers because it all boils down to sponserships, ad revenue, and money.
Imo
Travis should've won but killer mike does not deserve the hate coz he really had an argument to win it
Not really though. If a Grammy is supposed to represent the best of the best, neither of them should get one.
@@johnnycaraltaTf u mean neither of them? Utopia isn’t the best of the best on that year? u’re smoking something different.
@@RizzRyanmckinley dixon had a better album but it’s not mainstream enough
@@helptheresacockroachinmyba1939 to u that is. If u see it from an unbiased perspective then heroes and villains or utopia would be the only two which were supposed to win grammys.
The hells killer Mike??
He was snubbed by cardi b. Michael is an actual worthy contender and there’s zero shame in losing to it
Tweaking
there is when Utopia on its first day got 5x the streams and practically saved 2023 rap music
@@drtenma8 utopia saved 2023 fr

@@drtenma8saved by pulling big numbers? If anything, it's this exposure to the mainstream that's "killing" rap
its crazy that mike was arrested after he won the grammy's
Killer Mike's Album was a good album, I am sure even Nas a goat mcee will appreciate losing the Grammy to an actual good Rap conceptual album. Lyricists won this years Grammy. Utopia was good to especially sonically.
I think that’s the problem with today’s music. The only way music can progress is by combining lyrics and vocals as an instrument and the way the tracks sound sonically. I will admit Travis does have vagueness regarding his lyrics, the production alone should have won the award. Tired of lyricists thinking that’s what comprises good music. Still ground to be broken.
@@bigstevedzn2353 The award was about “Rap" not “Instrumentals". Rap is originally known for it's messages. When you talk about Rap you think of guys like 2Pac that spoke of the ills in the society and encouraged the black youth to strive for better, guys like Nas Lupe fiasco Jay Z Kendrick Lamar J Cole Lil Wayne Eminem Biggie Big L Big Pun 50 Cent and even Drake are the one's that define Hip-hop and Rap. Without Kanye West Travis Scott would never be where he is today. The Grammys made a wise decision and handed the award to an actual Rap album. They should maybe create another award for popular music like trap and drill category.
@@7sneves I think that is the perfect compromise. The Grammies are too all encompassing anyways. But then again the more categories that are created the less effect winning a Grammy becomes. Man I hate labels and the Grammies.
Jid being put on screen when he says "more deserving rappers" is so true, the forever story really shouldn't have been slept on the way it was by them 5:55
Lauryn Hill was the very first hiphop album to receive Album of the Year
Exactly!!
Yessss the miss conduction of Lauryn Hill
That's more impactful than utopia
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill also won album of the year btw
Yep, deservedly so.
Yeah, but there's Tyler's debate. Is it really a hip hop album or more of a general pop album?
one of the best ever
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266well she certainly was actually rapping on it., unlike a more pop oriented record. She was shifting between vocals & rapping similar to how Drake, Ye, & Andre would all incorporate later on similarly
He wasn’t snubbed the category was BEST HIP HOP ALBUM
That’s crazy because he wasn’t even nominated for melodic rap category or best album of the year like other rap or hip hop artist were and it’s crazy because sza win Grammies with the help of travis production on her album and his Ad libs but yet he only gets nominated for one category in one section this wasn’t a debate of wether his album was better than killer mikes it was a snub because they didn’t give him the same chance as killer mikes album to win any Grammy at all the unfair advantage killer mikes album had compared to the one category section they gave Travis is the snub not the albums themselves nobody is denying killer make made a solid good album but it’s stupid if you don’t think the Grammies snubbed Travis Scott this year again
@@johnz_corpsey’all know the label chooses the category right?
@@iDewThis4Yu That’s funny because there’s been multiple artist like Nicki Minaj, Latto etc who get placed in categories that aren’t even what their music represents so your Trynna tell me Nicki’s label just does that behind her back without her finding out it’s them and then she decides to choose to not do anything about it. You think Travis’s label would do this and he’d be like that’s fine this some bs your spouting
@@iDewThis4Yuapparently some clowns commenting don’t know this.
This one isn’t even in the same realm as bad because Killer Mike is a legend who made a pretty damn good album.
But I genuinely think this was on purpose because now everyone is talking about the Grammy’s now and it’s now a hot topic
Yall give the legend status to anyone 😂 he made a good album tho
@@LondonbabyCamzhe is one half of one of the best hiphop duos ever and kept ATL’s lyrical side alive for years while trap took over. He is definitely a legend
@@jaycyclondopeople just got tired of mumble rap nothing 😅
@@jaycyclondoRTJ so goated
100% agree that he deserved a grammy at some point but this was a really bad year for that because of utopia😭
Travis Scott definitely got snubbed with Astroworld in 2019, but I feel Killer Mike deserves it and should have been acknowledged a long time ago.
Edit: 2019, not 2018. 😂
Was he really snubbed in 2018? I agree that Cardi B was probably the worst option to win, but I still wouldn’t put Astroworld as 2018’s best rap album. Swimming, Daytona, Kids See Ghosts, Drogas Wave, Ta13oo, and Some Rap Songs were just as good if not better than Astroworld.
@@boost3188 2019 as in the time of the award ceremony. Many expected Travis to win by the nominations because while the album was great, it also held great accolades. It’s a shame to say, but albums need to do numbers and be massively popular to be a shoe-in to win the award. Astroworld was great and arguably most accolades than any other record in that category so it made sense for it to win. I know there’s more better albums than Astroworld, some were even nominated. Some of my favorite albums indefinitely were in 2018, probably albums you never heard of and they’re so so SO many miles ahead of Astroworld, it’s just Astroworld just made the bigger splash.
@@doc2058iop wasnt rlly a bad album, not sure if u even listened to it or ur just saying it's bad bc its cardi b, but they both had a big album that year and had #1 hits from their album with iop having diamond hits. but although they both were mediocre to me
@@chloeeig she ain't have no god damn sicko mode!
@@boost3188fr Daytona shouldve won
The internet is full of clowns with opinions and never spending money on the very thing they have an opinion on
Understand where you’re coming from, but this is still disrespectful to killer mike to even make this video. He had a great album and just because it wasn’t your number one pick, that doesn’t mean someone else was robbed. If we can agree that killer mike made a great album, how was anyone robbed, or snubbed? A great album beat a great album.
mate he legit says no disrespect to him and loved the album, you should realise the award isn't just for the best rap performance and numbers wise doesn't contend with the others
@@matthewchidiac5948do you know in the creation and the voting of the albums they are only supposed to vote on the art. It's album of the year. Not video of the year. Sales of the year. Sometimes popularity and previous works might come into play for someone to vote for the person but how many sales you have has never been a priority or even officially considered at the Grammys.
Who tf is killer Mike
same on him trashing on harry styles like harry talented but pop is different from rap
@@matthewchidiac5948dawg there is literally an award for best rap performance 🤦♂️
Bro really compared utopia to graduation and eminem show
Travis Scott fans are delusional. I haven't seen a single one that doesn't have a blow up Travis Scott doll they sleep with every night.
Ye and Em are in a different phase of their careers. Neither are trying to make a blockbuster album and take a Grammy. I believe artists like Travis, Baby Keem and JID are in their prime and really changing the music landscape. Just my opinion tho...
Yeh and?
@@4ortiUtopia isn’t comparable to either and I’m not even that big of a fan of the eminem show
@@seth9156 Baby Keem and Travis Scott in the same list as JID...? Stop it.
people should understand how deserved and important it is for Mike to win, i love travis as much as the next guy and im not the biggest fan of the grammies but for once it was real hiphop that won and people want to shit all over mike? some bs smh give the man his flowers and stop disscrediting him just bc a trap artist didnt win
Dudeee that’s what I’m saying
Lyricists won. The underdog won, People always complained about it being a popularity contest and now when a smaller artist with a great album is finally recognized they get mad smh
'for once it was real hiphop that won' then howecome every kendrick album wins when he is considered 'real rap' plus nas winning recently too, AND when Tyler won it with call me if you get lost no one was complaining that its not real 'hip-hop'?
@@matthewchidiac5948he prob means real and lesser known hip hop
Lol big guy dont even give a single shit bout this piece of metal
Calling Speakerboxxx/The love below a half hearted win is insanity
It’s a basic white boy who’s clearly a Travis Scott fan who’s never listened to an outkast album in full.
I mean…. It did beat out 50 cent get rich or die trying. And by the metric killer Mike won with regarding pure rap, the majority of speakerboxx/the love below is not traditional rap, therefore it was kinda half hearted.
(I’m also saying this as a black Travis Scott fan btw)
@@OnDaLowWidIt yeah, it deserved to beat GRoDT, are you saying it didn’t?
It’s a rap album, i don’t know how that’s even a question. What songs aren’t rap?
@@Dumpingdumplings nigga wut about hey ya is a rap song?
And Utopia is just as much as a rap album as any other one, but because it’s not a traditional rap album it’s the main reason people say it loses to albums like Michael and KD3. But no one says anything about speakerboxx/the love below.
You see how dumb this whole “NoT A raP alBuM” argument is right?
@@DumpingdumplingsDawg wut about Hey Ya is rap song?
I’m not saying it didn’t deserve the award I’m just saying it’s not a traditional rap album the way Michael or Grodt is.
You see how flawed the “NOt a rAp alBuM” argument is?
Essentially the Grammys never truly cared about rap music like that and there trying to make it seem like they do now so by the logic that Michael won over H&V with, it was half hearted.
Travis isn't ever going to get a Grammy because of the Astroworld incident
So why nominate him
I think it was his response to the incident that caused people to dislike him.
Probably true, but it should be because he's a subpar rapper and his music is ass
Sadly that is likely true. To nominate him is one thing, they just can’t not nominate an album with that kind of magnitude, that would make the Grammys look even worse than they already do. Awarding him is another. That would cause an outrage among not just music fans, but for normal people too that like to debate over certain things. The headlines would say something like “Astrofest demonic murderer Travis Scott’s Grammy win causes major outrage”. Sadly it is a stigma he will have to live with for at least a good few years until some other person does something even worse and people can ride that wave.
@@balazs7235 Excepts he keeps doing the same shit so it's a title he deserves.
He's also a shitty rapper with mediocre music.
It even extends to all genres. SZA lost album of the year to Taylor Swift. It’s ridiculous
Isn't it so crazy that a mainstream award show gave an award to the biggest pop star ever????????????? It's almost like YOU had the fucked up expectations lmao
Tbh all those albums were kinda boring. But out of the options SZA should have won
@@jaquandrejones SOS checked off every mark: it had the numbers, it had the impact, it had the diversity…give me a legitimate reason why MIDnights won other than Taylor being a huge star? And if that were the case, why did Travis Scott lose rap album of the year to Killer Mike? It’s very clear what the Grammys does
taylor swift aint even that good she just has a psychotic cult following who criticizes anyone who doesnt like her 50th breakup song😒
Love below and speaker box as a pop album is wild
Yeah how do you come to that conclusion unless you don’t know the the hell your talking about just a salty Travis stan who can’t accept his favourite artist is trash and only makes generic mainstream chart toppers

ALSO why is the most popular genre in the world not given its awards during the main show??
that just shows more proof of how little they respect the hiphop culture

@@jaycyclondo same thing 😅
@@proddxshy average american
@@jaycyclondo I mean what other genre is more popular and influential than hiphop? More than half of popular genres derive their current sound from us. Even their fashion
idk how they expect to get more views if they’re just gonna mistreat hip hop artists when they’re the same ones having the biggest hits of the year.
We don't care about the Grammy's Utopia is still the best album of the year
Lmao, the only way Utopia was the best rap album is if Utopia was the only rap album. Travis Scott isn't very good, kid
Ur a loss😂😂@@johnnycaralta
Tbh scaring the hoes was better
Utopia is the best very mainstream album
Bro no one cares about your opinion 😂@@johnnycaralta
The only rappers today who can win a Grammy for album of the year are rappers with extreme versatility and a literally revolutionary artistic depth that goes beyond rap by strongly touching audiences and experts beyond other musical genres like Kendrick, Kanye or even Rocky which I find a little underrated. Travis Scott is good but his album Utopia lacks lyrical and thematic depth, it doesn't really reach the extent of the Utopian meaning even if there are beautiful sounds in this record, there are sounds like K Pop which have nothing to do in this album but who nevertheless put it which makes it more less authentic. Killer Mike's victory is fine and not as scandalous as Cardi b's.
Great great video 🔥🔥
I think Killer Mike deserved this win. I went back to his album way more than Utopia. It’s lyrical, it’s sonically pleasing, it features a Sac rapper (I’m from sac), and Mike is a pillar of the black community. He’s always advocated for the black community through his music so this win for him was well deserved
seeing the vast majority of ppl saying ‘Travis got robbed’ immeadiately after the award got announced honestly frustrated me. Michael is a phenomenal album and I’m not gonna say it’s better than utopia but I think ppl should give both a listen before deciding
Travis got snubbed.
travis deserves at least two of these awards.
Utopia is not head and shoulders above Michael. I wouldn’t say he deserves the awards, it’s completely fair the album with the better rapping and on best rap album.
very interesting/eye opening video, but u barely answered the question in the title lol
I’m kind of torn tbh. On one hand, I’m happy for Mike and think that he genuinely deserved the win because, from what I’ve heard, Michael is a really album. But on the other hand, I can’t help but feel like Travis genuinely deserved the win this time. Utopia was easily the most talked about and hyped up rap album that came out this year with the years long speculation leading up to its release and the Circus Maximus tour which has been going crazy for a few months now.
As many people have, I stopped taking the Grammys seriously after The Heist won over GKMC, but when 1989 won Album of the Year over TPAB, I straight up loss hope. 😂🤣
I'll never forgive the grammys when they gave the awards to Macklemore & Cardi B
Technically Killer Mike’s project was more real hip hop than Travis’s was
Can we collectively agree that the Grammys are virtually meaningless
after the cardi b win the rap category was switched to the preshow😂😂😂😂😂she really made rap category a joke
Y’all thinking Travis deserved this more than killer Mike…a legend of 10 plus years who constantly puts out great - classic material and is highly regarded as one of the best lyricist is crazy😂.
The amount of time doesnt matter. Travis deserved this award because he put out the better album that year. Killer mikes album was good Travis’s was just better!
@@jeisonjj look at you….be more self aware. If people said “we need to see who’s on this voting bored” and they realized your pic…don’t you think everybody and they momma would say “see this why they get the hip hop category wrong”😂. And then you go take “I like a bi girl on a bicycle” over killer Mike? Ugh it’s like we move backwards every generation
I think that rappers, rnb artist, and other black artist and producers need to just make their own award show on the level of the Grammy's. Not only are they never going to be considered the best performers, but they are left to fight over one category of awards because they will never be considered for anything outside of "Rapper" or "Melodic Rap". I loved IGOR, but Tyler was right when he said that its idiotic to consider it a rap album. Now you have a younger audience and old heads fighting over if Killer Mike is even relevent anymore or if Travis Scott is even a "real rapper" or a "mumble rapper" and if he represents rap at all.
We need to be able to divide the categories up in a satisfying way that makes sense to us.
already exist called bet awards aka ebt awards which already fell off bc our race ruined it
Wow, thats a video, that shoulded be streamed in the Grammys yesterday.
I think Michael deserves this win though🎉. I really liked scientists and engineers and shed tears.
They were my favorite on his album. I remember him rapping with Andre 3000 and most recently (like a couple of years ago) in nobody speak. He’s really a great lyricist❤
I do like Travis Scott no doubt, however, Michael has been around for such a LONG time💕
Dont get me wrong. I respect the fuck out of Killer Mike and his album. He does deserve it, but travis should have won. His album had such a huge impact on the year.
i think we can all agree on this
killer mike was better
@@nickalaslindsay7800 its dumb to say things or people are better when its just your opinion
his album was better@@proddxshy
@@proddxshy lol how you gonna say “I think we all can agree” and then say saying something is better is an opinion?
we need a new award.Easier said than done because no one is gonna respect an award made overnight you need years and years of credibility to earn the same respect as the grammys or atleast the respect they had.But we really need a new award.
tbh travis losing sucks to me but what sucks even more is that despite metro making a phenominal album and producing an entire movies soundtrack he still lost best producer to a taylor swift producer which i find wayyyyy worse
travis isn't on ye or eminem level, but kendrick and tyler are, which is why they win grammy's
I'm truly happy for Killer Mike to win three Grammys. He's a legend and put out a great project last year and received great reviews from it. Me too, I thought Travis would win "Album Of The Year" with Utopia because this project truly exceeded our expectations and represents for me a generational opus of this decade. Now, I don't agree with the fact he was robbed in the "Album Of The Year" because as I said, "Michael" is an excellent album from the lyrics to the beats. For me, it checks everything it requires in a hip-hop album. In my opinion, we should be fair play and give Mike his flowers. Utopia is still an incredible project but "Michael" was really pushed by the hip-hop community. So even though I usually don't care about the Grammys, I stand with Killer Mike for the culture and also for his great album.
Killer Mike raps, these others dont, hence thats why he won, my opinion
At least we got that”they slept on me ten times!!!” Part from Travis, shit needs to have its own Grammy version cuz that went hard.
stop its cuz his music is straight up vapid. they dont reward that shit unless its pop and done by someone who actually sings
then they shouldve rewarded it to ariana grande cause that girl can sing more than taylor swift
Blasphemy, Killer Mike’s album IS the best album of that group. This is Hip Hop since ‘85, his album is back to the Essence.
it's not '85 and it's disrespectful to the artists that try so hard to revolutionize music. old shih is good in the old days but this isn't the old days and you not bumping killer mike's album in public.
I wish you were as right as you are passionate. 1) old shit belongs in the old days is a false premise not worth exploring, everything about that statement doesn’t make sense, music is either timeless or it isn’t 2) “you wouldn’t bump Killer Mike’s album in public” is false, because I have, I do and I still will. If you can’t hear music and see the talent or quality in content and arrangement, then you are operating from bias. Both albums are dope, don’t discount quality trying to prove a point.
this vid needs 10 M views
Killer Mike was actually a hell of an album and should have won it just didnt get good marketing
This dude just made an almost 10 minute Travis Scott propaganda video glazing Travis Scott because he didn't win Best Rap Album at the Grammys. First of all, Killer Mike been putting out great music since he first came into Hip Hop back in 2000. Second, the award is called BEST RAP ALBUM. I don't consider Travis Scott a rapper let alone Hip Hop. I always thought Travis Scott was the most overrated "rapper" of all time and I'm sticking by that statement. Also, the Astroworld incident put a well deserved black eye on him. He's lucky to even still have a career after that. Utopia was a mid album, and don't ever compare it to The Eminem Show and Graduation.
Bro same, never considered carti and travis as a rapper in the first place
They make good trap song and that's it, no message aside from the vibe, it's good for party and hyoe train
It really pisses me off about how little they respect Hip-hop and almost all black artists. It's just outrageous and needs some addressing; how can people even watch the Grammys? The Weeknd got zero nominations after he dropped After Hours, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly lost to Taylor Swift's 1986 in Album of the Year when TPAB is the clear winner (and a far better album, no hate to Taylor Swift or her album but I'm just speaking by artistic vision and the meaning of the album,) Jay-Z said in the Grammys 2 days ago that DMX didn't even get nominated for Rap Album of the Year after releasing two successful albums and that's just shocking, Eminem lost many times in Album of the Year and this right here really irritates me, Cardi B winning against Travis Scott in Rap Album of the Year, Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar losing to Harry Styles in Album of the Year, SZA losing to Taylor Swift in Album of the Year (Again, no hate towards Taylor Swift but come on, SOS is a better album than Midnights. And I know Lana Del Ray is not a black artist or anything like that but she got robbed too,) and of course good kid, m.a.ad city loosing to The Heist. These are examples of why no one respects the Grammys anymore, how can this even happen? To be honest with you the Grammys is just a popular contest at this point. How can an artist feel rewarded or good about winning the Grammys when it's clear that it's not really rewarding? The 66th Grammys would probably be the first and last time watching the Grammys....
I almost forgot but The Miseducation of Lauryn and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below are the only two "Rap" albums that won Album of the Year but that's funny to me because it's very clear that both albums are not really Rap albums. There's many other things that I forgot to address but I think I got my point across.
Invasion of Privacy sounded like an unfinished mixtape and she got up there and said she rushed to finish it in time. Definitely a slight.
I think the album of the year thing is also based on the push for femininity. Not a lot of male artists have been nominated for big awards at any awards show lately
who tf is killer mike
He's an og. Either your age is showing or you don't know that much about about hip hop. To quote Kendrick Lamar in Hood Politics "Critics want to mention that they miss when hip-hop was rappin'.
Motherfucker, if you did, then Killer Mike'd be platinum"
2 things, 1 while Astroworld, Victory Lap, Daytona and Swimming definitely deserved the grammy over Invasion of Privacy I've never actually understood why that album is so maligned it's just an album full of well written and well performed club tracks and some more personal stuff as well, it's not a bad album at all just nowhere near the level of the other 4 in the category. 2 Killer Mike deserved that award and I don't care what anyone says, he has worked tirelessly for so long in the genre and has recieved support from so many rap legends throughout the years on top of releasing consistently amazing projects, this award was long overdue and seeing him get so excited over winning was the cherry on top. Utopia also wasn't even close to Michael imo(obviously it was still a good album but it is far from Travis' best both production and performance wise)
That Macklemore snub is insane.
Give chance some time, he’s gonna be huge.
Oh look, the culture vulture dropped a video on the grammys, to complain, like every other yr😂
What you talking about
To say Utopia got robbed by Michael is crazy. Killer Mike is a lyricist! Travis is not even a rapper TF 😂😂😂
The Comparison between Eminem’s / Kanye’s albums and Travis albums is pretty accurate in my opinion. It’s game changing albums and the Grammies decide to take a shit on em
2018: Travis was robbed
2023: Travis was NOT robbed as both Mike and Metro Boomin had better albums than him, so as much as everyone want him to win a Grammy, he did not deserve to best rap album this year
he wasn't even robbed this year michael was an awesome album
It's boring as hell
They probably knew Killer Mike was going to get arrested and arranged for it to happen = clicks
They knew we would've got mad about them sleeping on travis = clicks
It's just a circle jerk though isn't it, do any of us even watch it?
Nah Travis a snitch
Astroworld got snubbed...Utopia, I'm not sure, tbh I've listened to it a couple of times and it didn't do much for me, but idk was Michael not grammy deserving?
First and foremost, fuck the grammy's.
Imho though, as great of an album as Utopia is, the rapping itself on it isn't all that. I feel Mike deserves this one for this category.
reminder: this is a white UA-cam who is voicing his opinion LOL
Right their opinion literally doesn’t matter
@@SoundMind.do you support black ones who make the same content or just complain? It's plenty of good black ones y'all don't support
Yeah you guys say all this but we’ll be discussing the scammys again next year… didnt even know it happened until the drama
Uptopia was no where near worth best rap album cmon now
I really never understand the Travis hype, I don’t find utopia to be anything that hasn’t been done before or is even that personal to him. He just sounds like diet Kanye, cudi and Frank ocean to me. None of this is pushing the culture in a way that Michael or even Tyler the creator do
Thank you my point exactly. I’ve tried to listen to him but the problem is he isn’t saying anything.
I’m so tired of kids having platforms about hip hop
Calling speaker box and love below a pop album your out your damn mind that sir was a rap album full of bars
The Grammys are Hip hop again 😎 killer Mike deserved❤
It’s not but Killer Mike definitely deserves to win.
MICHAEL is better than Utopia
😟🤣😭🤧

How many times is this guy going to use that pic of Ye with the giant chain?
Contrats to Killer Mike i have to say 2018 was Stolen this year he needed it but Killer Mikes Michael was way too hard
If u think T Scotts album was better 5han Killer Mikes then u just have horrible taste in music
Fr killer Mikes and run the jewels entire discography is better than rodeo
Travis didn't win because the album was mid
Respectfully stfu saying that shows you got no taste🙏😭not saying that he should've won but you saying the album was mid is next level hating
Imo
Hero’s and villains should have won because it was a 2022 song but it was too late in 2022 for it to be nominated in the 2023 Grammys so it got nominated in this years Grammys but no ones talking about it. It was personally my favorite album
Grammy have been going to shit since 2012
Killer Mike album was better than Travis Scott's album.......
Robbed...? Travis Scott is the most overhyped, medipcre rapper around today. Dude's a solid 4/10 at best.
Everyone is talking about travis being robbed twice, no rap post can go without a few people commenting on travis losing to someone weve never heard of until he won an award, no hip hop album was nominated for album of the year. Now theyre really gonna face a downfall
Obviously Travis should have atleast 2 grammy's by now BUT, every time he works harder to make a better and better album each grammy nomination, the music can only get better from here. Utopia was an incredible album and I think its 2nd to rodeo, I wonder whats next
Utopia wasn’t that good
He was robbed by Cardi B. But y’all gonna say he got snubbed by Killer Mike is INSANE.💀
I really want to hear people who were in the ages of 20-35, in the 80s. I want to hear from them if it was always like this? Cause if you think about it, there was a lot of soul in the 80s a lot of fantastic music came out. From pop, hip hop, rock n roll. I just want to hear point of views. Did ppl also hear the ceo of the whole Grammy program spoke about how “the peers” are the ones that vote which doesn’t make sense. Yall would have to search the video to understand what he said. I’m not the best at explaining
Dont forget the After hours snub
Travis was robbed because of his ties with Ye. Absolutely disgusting that they did this to him.
THEY SLEPT ON ME TEN TIMES
This same thing just happened with the giving of African music performance by turning Nigerian acts against each other while giving the award to a South African who has many ancestors.
wtf why is my adblock not working
Most musicians I've worked with and artists as a sound engineer, don't respect Hip Hop. They consider it a sampling genre, with absurd and dramatic lines over them. I wish I could sit them all down and play Kendrick's last 3 albums for them.
Can't forget about that time they couldn't spell MF DOOM in all caps
killer mike is an good record at least, unlike invasion of privacy
