But then they did something that I just cannot ignore. That's right grammys, you have my attention for the first time in years, and had I the resources and a curative for my crippling agoraphobia, I would march out to the Staples Center, burn that mother to the ground and douse the flames with a mighty blast of piss.
What might you ask, has got me as butthurt as a pack of web-saavy Egyptians?
Let's take a look at the album of the year nominations:
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Recovery - Eminem
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
The Fame Monster - Lady Gaga
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
So, these are the grammys for 2010, right? You're telling me you had a spot for Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, which came out in 2009, and yet you didn't have a fucking nomination to spare for the best-reviewed album of the year? Yes, I'm talking about Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a mainstream hip-hop/pop album, exactly the kind of music these grammy voters usually gobble up like day-old jizz -- which is to say with vigorous enthusiasm -- but an album that was also hailed unilaterally by anyone with a fucking brain stem as the best thing to come out in a long, long time. Hell, I don't mind saying it, I think it's the best album to come out since Funeral. Yeah, I went there. This was the number one album according to Spin, Rolling Stone, Vibe, and Pitchfork (who gave it a perfect ten, btw), but fuck all that, because it was the number one album according to me! Anyone who can make a King fucking Crimson sample seem perfectly timed and vitally relevant to their music deserves some kind of medal in my book, and that's just one of hundreds of brilliant moments on a sprawling, blood sweat and tears masterpiece.
I'mma let you finish guys, but Mubarak was one of the best presidents of all time! |
Next time I'm about to look at the grammy nominations, someone do me a favor and shoot me in the head.
ANY GAY FISH WHO WANTS TO LEAVE A COMMENT ABOUT HOW KANYE SUCKS AND NEEDS TO SHUT UP SHOULD GO STAB HIMSELF IN THE EYES WITH AN AIDS-INFECTED SYRINGE. CHURCH.
Ima let you finish, but... just kidding. His album was alright. Although of the ones nominated, The Suburbs - Arcade Fire is in my opinion the best.
ReplyDeleteI never really see the grammies, but
ReplyDeletemy music comes from an entirely different country xD so of course i dont really watch.
however, lol egypt...well done xD
i agree with you man, the grammys are a pile of crap
ReplyDeletebut the kanye west album intrigues me...i'm more of a rocker and i dont know if i'd like that album, but hell, everytime someone talks about it, i get the urge to listen to it
haha nice title and article :D
ReplyDeletefollowed
Oh boy, violence is not my thing.

For all your Pokemon needs!
You like fish sticks?
ReplyDeleteI still prefer Lady Gaga's album, I'm such a casual.
ReplyDeleteLOL. this article made my day. God damn Katy Perry.
ReplyDeleteI don't even care about grammys and other shitty awards. There is no good popular music. And by popular I mean that from radio/TV and generally by media, not popular because many people like it.
ReplyDeleteSigh
ReplyDeleteI don't believe how some people can listen to some of the shit these people put out :/
I really enjoyed Kanye West in 30 Secs to Mar's Hurrican>>
I really did like Graduation.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not butthurt by the grammies, I really feel it's about as relevant as the golden globes. They award pop culture for no good reason, and I find it hard to see if there's actually anybody who cares.
I've gotten to the point that I really don't care. All those fat cats are just choosing what they think should went, not what really should win.
ReplyDeleteOh lawdy, so much rage. I agree though, that nomination list is just...wow
ReplyDeleteSo, how much did Gaga have to pay to get a 2009 album nominated for 2010?
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone saying who gives a fuck about the grammies. They lost respect a long time ago. But I do feel bad for Kanye because he has stated in the past that he really wants to win Grammy for AOTY. Which is what drives him to continually push himself artistically.
ReplyDeleteMBDTF is AOTY in my book.
Katy perry, woooooooooohooooooo.....oh wait... -_-
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, why can't Katy Perry just use what god DID give her and do porn?
ReplyDeleteThe grammys are a waste of time. You're the man bro.

Ah, grammys...So much hate for Kanye. Poor dude.
ReplyDeleteUr right Kanye should be nominated its an excellent album.
ReplyDeleteI dont like Kanye, but this is growing on me.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you even care about some awards? It's always about the popularity and money rather than quality.
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching the grammys a looong time ago. They aren't about talent at all, it's all a popularity contest like in Highschool. So, I see no need to get upset over it, not winning is a good thing in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteArcade Fire is the only worthy album on that list. "Sprawl II" is where it's at.
ReplyDeleteNice blog. Im gonna start following you
ReplyDeleteWhat in teh world did I just read...
ReplyDeleteThe Grammies have always been a joke.. I always preferred the American Music Awards
ReplyDeleteThe grammy noms made me sick :[
ReplyDeleteDude grammy's has always been bullshit but seeing Arcade Fire is something good.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd so hard at the last pic's caption. XD
ReplyDeletei agree, katy parry sucks
ReplyDeleteyeah, grammies suck :(

ReplyDeletenice article btw
today about million people in the streets,it is the last week for Mubarak
ReplyDeleteThis post is absolute truth. Glad to see someone serve it up hot for a change. Loved the article and look forward to more.
ReplyDeletei am not so much interested in the music like you, but i can tell that Katy Perry is just another cute face. As for Kanye West well he did a mistake long ago, but people somehow don't forget it.
ReplyDeletei dont waste my time on awards shows, screw the grammy's
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I really believe it's probably Eminem because it's just such a juicy story for the Grammy's. I mean, who doesn't love a reformed drug addict in today's society?
