Monogamy:


Winning grammy award is all about luck... Firstly all nominated artist can't win it

Secondly, if your hit song(s) coincidentally with so many hit songs during same period, winning the grammy could be hard.

Also your type of genre music also matter

Which luck.

Influential Record labels have slots.

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.


Did he reject the award when given to him ?

I think the title or topic should read appropriately: Is the Grammy worth the hype ?
Re: Are The Grammy Awards Worth The Hype? by sulaiboy20(m): 8:14pm On Mar 16, 2021
50 cent is crying for that award throughout his career as a rapper. Grammy is one of the highest award any musician Wish to win. 50 cent is popular back then even more than burna.

Yes because they are not much. There are only 3 record labels that control the music industry in America and also all the streaming sites

Universal Music Group, Sony Music and Warner Music Group

And you have to be signed or be in partnership with them to win a Grammy.

Independent records label hardly win Grammys

Nas has been boss since day one. He ain't no commercial rapper. He has been consistent over the years with good music.

Fvck the Grammy.

OP, I also want you to answer this question. Is Nobel laureates prize Worth the Hype ?
And is Ballon d'Or also Worth Hype ?

We have seen so many good footballers who haven't won the ballon d'Or too, but does that mean the Ballon d'Or is useless and over Hyped ?

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.


Na man you be!

Africa especially naija with unnecessary hype; everything dey be big thing for us. No wonder we've been blessed with series of crimes. There's always this level of competition amongst every Nigerian out there.

Like the poster and myself too, we ain't against the legends but the hype too much especially with fans calling out artists.

But those record labels don't just sign any artist.. They signed those who can win them awards not just grammy. Pay good money for endorsement

Same way top football clubs are buying the best players.

It's all about winning and succeeding

They see it as a bragging right.

If you sing the right pop songs about political activism, you might just win a Grammy.

If you are woman from africa, you might just win it even if your songs are wack.
Like Tiwa and Yemi won baa?

You see the celebration because it's the first time a Nigerian will be winning it. And the winner was an underdog before climbing to the top. Why do Nigerians celebrate when they get USA visa ?

I started watching MTV in 94 and I can tell you grammy is not hype.

Winning it deserves even more accolade.


That was Grammy in its early days bro...

Now politicking and business has taken over...

I'm glad BurnaBoy won it tho,Its a big heads up for the African continent...

Is the Grammy big? Yes...But not as worthy as it used to be!
