Yes it does

It gives an artist that is singing nonsense an opportunity to listen to his own wack song

I was expecting Nas to be all over the media celebrating this Grammy but he never did. That is to say that Grammy does not defined them or their crafts.

Lalasticlala I don't know if you have any input on this subject.

Monogamy:


People like SIA, Jay Z, Adams Levine don't sing cos they want to win any awards, they are o ly doing what they know best to do...

Winning the grammy is just like recognizion of their efforts in the music industry

thebosstrevor1:


Grammy is all knowing the right record label to sign to.

If your record label has influence in the music industry the artist will surely will a grammy.

Grammy has nothing to do with good songs

Lot of good artists are independent, they will never win a grammy until they join the click but that also comes with changing your music.

SmartProf:
Whatever the case, those who have won it are setting their laurels to inspire. In the world of winners, every win is worth the hype and every prize is valuable. OP go and win laurels and see how pleasing the feeling is.

A lot of artists sing better songs and never won any Grammy and some artists sing total crap and the pack home Grammy.

Award means a prize or other mark of recognition given in honour of an achievement.

Why the hype on Grammy Awards?

The way we Africans see and do things always got me puzzled.
We see Grammy Award as god. I'm not in anyway hating those who won. But how me celebrate this Grammy is what I don't understand.

In America. Most American acts don't see Grammy as anything.
I remember one rapper who was given a Grammy Award and he rejected it.

Last year an American rapper pee on a Grammy Award (something most Africans see as god)
Few hours ago another American rapper took to his Twitter to write F88k Grammys.

These people a different way of reasoning I don't know if it's because of their environment because environment can't influence one's reasoning.

Winning Grammy does not make you bigger or better than others.
Not winning Grammy does not mean your crafts are useless.

I know over 10 American rappers who never won a Grammy but you can't talk about Hip Pop and you don't mention their names.

Imagine someone like Nas just won his first Grammy after how many years in the industry? He never made it a big deal.
