[@SoundsOfTheWild3]

Led Zeppelin famously never won a Grammy in the 70s. Also, if you look at rock albums that have one AOTY it's the same as what he was saying for hip-hop. They tend to be more on the poppier and softer side. If the album was on the heavier side and less assessable to pop audiences it never got a look for the category, even if it was groundbreaking like Nirvana's Nevermind or any of Metallica's 80s albums. I think the heaviest rock album to win is Alanis Morrissette's album which is pretty poppy sounding.

The only rapper who was snubbed for AOTY is Kendrick Lamar. Maybe if rappers could be more creative without having to rap about the same old things and glorifying degenerate hooligan behaviour in their music and actually have substance. One thing about Ms Lauryn Hill and Outkast is that they were not afraid to step outside of rap's depraved culture of little substance

@Lyttmats.kylieee "Self-written"... Some modern pop artists use the exact same chord progression on every album. Vocals are often literally one-note. How that is considered "higher quality" than a Hip Hop album with samples, I don't know. (My criticism is directed at the Grammy Academy, not the prior comment explaining their thinking.)

[@LazyyFrmDaLeaf]

I knew the Grammys was a scam when Astorworld lost to Cardi B

[@SoundsOfTheWild3]

Historically, Album of the year has always been dominated by pop music. Everyone votes in the general categories so it makes more sense that the more digestible music tends to do better. Even when another genre wins, it typically happens to be a more pop leaning record. For example, Hip-hop albums that won it had lots of singing on it like with Outkast's win and Lauryn Hill's win. Something that is straight rapping, like a Nas album, can win rap album of the year but not album of the year. Same for rock music, heavy metal artist or hard rock stuff like Metallica or Nirvana has never won it. It is usually more soft and poppier rock music like Alanis Morrisette. The only exception to this seems to be Jazz. Every once in awhile a Jazz album wins and I am not sure how they do it.

[@arnoldsteyn480]

Nicki Minaj never won, c'mon man. Now tell me her music is not leaning towards pop or is digestible. Even 4 year olds sing along to Nicky. The Grammys is outright racist and discriminate everything black and that's it. The reason why Kendrick Don't win is because he tells them straight "You f#&*ing hate me Don't you?" You hate my people the plan is to terminate my culture" "You sabotage my community making a killing". All white people care a bout is making money off HIP HoP. The founders of the Grammys were amongst the people who wanted HIP hop banned and described it as music that incites violence and the use of strong language. Here is a tip and only a genius will figure this out. Granting Kendrick a Grammy will most ultimately legitimize his message and make the Grammys look like they believe he is talking the truth.

There is this idea that the Grammys reward the best song-writers and producers. So, as rap and hip hop are genres that use many samples, the list of writers and producers tend to be very large. As they don’t want to reward 30 people, that’s why allegedly they prefer albums with no sampling, short writing and producing teams.

Killer mike didn't deserve to be nominated at least, i have never heard of his music and i listen to hip hop music. They lost their quality and they are called out for a reason. Grammys are about profit preferences and in very few cases where commercial success is rewarded

Astroworld not winning in 2018 is the biggest joke of the century

The Grammys snubbed peso pluma

[@mobbossgambino]

3:15 it's because they can't compete with relevance in the upsurge of hip hop, so pretending it isn't their takes it from the Grammy's to their own little event. One in hindsight that probably wouldn't exist with hip hop and rap being present. So instead of pushing yourself to be better or as good as your surroundings, you pretend to be the zenith itself. Thus robbing yourself from ever truly getting there.

worse than not having a hip hop album... the albums they selected for the AOTY were just not that good, with exception to Baptiste and Sza
