soshi.mp3 1,621 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 New York Times: You’ve won a lot of Grammys. Kanye West: [My Beautiful] Dark [Twisted] Fantasy†and “Watch the Throneâ€: neither was nominated for Album of the Year, and I made both of those in one year. I don’t know if this is statistically right, but I’m assuming I have the most Grammys of anyone my age, but I haven’t won one against a white person. But the thing is, I don’t care about the Grammys; I just would like for the statistics to be more accurate. NYT: You want the historical record to be right. Kanye: Yeah, I don’t want them to rewrite history right in front of us. At least, not on my clock. I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever. But after a while, it’s like: “Wait a second; this isn’t fair. This is a setup.†I remember when both Gnarls Barkley and Justin [Timberlake] lost for Album of the Year, and I looked at Justin, and I was like: “Do you want me to go onstage for you? You know, do you want me to fight†NYT: For you. Kanye: For what’s right. I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things. So when the next little girl that wants to be, you know, a musician and give up her anonymity and her voice to express her talent and bring something special to the world, and it’s time for us to roll out and say, “Did this person have the biggest thing of the year?†— that thing is more fair because I was there. NYT: But has that instinct led you astray? Like the Taylor Swift interruption at the MTV Video Music Awards, things like that. Kanye: It’s only led me to complete awesomeness at all times. It’s only led me to awesome truth and awesomeness. Beauty, truth, awesomeness. That’s all it is. i just don't get why MBDTF wasn't nominated for Album Of The Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Jung 19,680 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 but I haven’t won one against a white person. But the thing is, I don’t care about the Grammys; I just would like for the statistics to be more accurate. even if he did get nominated for Album of the Year Adele 21's>>>>>> MBDTF and is he serious about T-Swift's interruption as being awesome?... he was drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshi.mp3 1,621 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 even if he did get nominated for Album of the Year Adele 21's>>>>>> MBDTF not in my opinion and i do listened to both albums com'on the album had 94 points on Metacritic and it got nothing but 5 stars from basically every review. it's a fair competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey Im K 1,309 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 MBDTF was an amazing album IMO But USA hates on Kanye because of his attitude But music is a separate thing from who makes it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goo 54 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 There would have been better nominations for AOTY (as it always is with the Grammys), but in my opinion MBDTF would have been more deserving than any of the nominees. I guess Adele's 21 winning makes sense symbolically but it was a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezebel 312 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 His productions are always pretty good, but his voice ruins songs. Plus, there is no safer route than rapping/sing-talking over a song. Also, does he realize that Def Jam and Music World have about all of their employees signed up for the Grammy committee? There's a reason: - Jay has 17 - Kanye has 21 - Beyoncé has 17 - Rih has 6 He needs to disappear already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
