[MUSIC] Hmmm so Losers can Win a Grammy

One of the most anticipated award shows of the year, crediting popular musicians for their contribution(s) to the music society, musical excellence, and as an outstanding entrepreneur, is none other than the Grammys. With this year marking the 50th year since it's inception, for the artists that were present, there was allot to be excited about. Though the awards did move in it's usual manner (red carpet, performances, comical introductions, ect), only one event was proven to be the most surprising and utterly upsetting moments in the entire show, the Grammy award to Kanye West.

Seriously, what kind of moron comes and receives one of the highest rated awards in the US and complains ?! Sure you have your individuals who have professionally denied the Grammy award, but they didn't complain like some spoiled brat! Then again, why should you find this surprising at all? I mean Kanye did wine his ass off last year when he lost it, and to make it worse, he tags the infamous black line to it saying "Can't a Black man get a break"? Like the Black community doesn't have enough to worry about.

Not only does he complain, but at the same time insults two of hip hops' highest contributors, individuals that have influenced and done more for the hip hop community than any of Kanye's works combined, Nasir "Nas" Jones, and Lonnie "Common" Lynn! It was so bad, the mixing engineers were trying to play the music to get him to leave, but he continued, and on his grand podium called stupidity and arrogance, he announces his final words saying he wants Album of the year and he should get it. After today, I wouldn't think that Kanye would deserves even lifetime achievement if we eventually see the honors awards contributing the old hip hop community of our day (I mean could you imagine, a life time achievement award appointed to Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, or Usher?)



In my personal opinion, Kanye West is by far one of the most overrated, childish, unprofessional "musicians" in the industry today, and after todays Grammys, only affirmed this notion.
