Nah. Its not about the biggest. Otherwise it would intentionally exclude certain people simply because they don't have the huge platform to rake in 200k first week, despite their music being worthy of praise

What?? Of course I did just like most people ITT did

Doesn’t take away from how great the music is tf

Unless you think the Grammys should be a popularity contest

happier than ever, sour, donda, bieber etc are all albums youd hear irl

no one is playing that john bastiste s***

it debuted at 85 on billboard lmao

I don't know why you're bringing up DaBaby like I don't frequently call that nigga hot dogshit. I also frequently trash Thug stans cause he been dropping mid since 2016. As for Carti? Look, a screaming gay vampire with baby adlibs just ain't gonna win a Grammy.

Why you feel it necessary to even bring up any of that s*** when I'm talking about a dude being discredited simply because he leads a band on a late night show with his album being equated to a minstrel show I have no f***in clue.

Again, maybe you should actually read thru the thread instead of talking s***. Cause you're lookin like an idiot rn.

u cant have aoty if you get no spins in the trenches

And the fact that it won, what does that tell you then?

No one in the hood listening to bieber and billie nigga lmao

it tells me that the votes were split between o rod and eilish

what's so original about SOUR exactly?

I love pop music but I don't understand why are you acting like it's some groundbreaking album

Well I don’t stan yeat and thug. You just sound scared to talk about real music becusse itll expose the very same holier than thou act you put on that you project onto others 😂 tf

did not know Jon did the music for Soul.
That is awesome.
He is a beast

Ahh found the elitist pretentious nigga

it is absolutely about the biggest lmao thats never been disputed

Dude said he’s tired of people being “holier than thou” then proceeded people who stan a certain artist don’t deserve conversation with him

Where do you people come from

from what i have read in this thread and seen in the Grammys thread alone, im seeing an insane amount of hate for billie, olivia doja etc. (and these niggas oftentimes didn't even listen to the f***ing albums/music, and some of them AREN'T EVEN WILLING TO TRY IT.) and didn't want anyone to win besides kanye, the moment batiste won, all of the sudden niggas turned pro-black and reveled in both olivia and billie losing to a "real" musician, when they previously gave two f***ing s***s about it before.

Nigga just being elitist as hell lmaoo

A hypocritical elitist at that

Billies album was great idc

Shoulda won

They wanted Coonye to win but are on some pro black s*** now that John won

partially true partially wrong.
drake only having 4 grammys goes directly against this, but often time yes the winner will have huge sales accolades.

So why didn't the "biggest" win then my nigga? Lemme guess, they were pandering to the "left field" crowd right?

thats why i said both

its about biggest AND best

Drakes music is ass more often than not

Yes? How much did this album chart or even get played?

There were like 3 gigantic albums in there to split the vote lmao

Anyway the Jon Batiste album was fantastic and you should check it out

If you’re a fan of jazz fusion it’s an incredible body of work. It can feel a bit commercial at times but lots of songs on the album that are raw af and absorb you into the music. Lotta catchy lines that are stuck in my head too. Lyrics on this album cut through, it’s really nice
