Charlamagne: 2 White Rappers Are Up for Grammy - Iggy & Childish

[@qwebell]

Nas dont have a grammy but we all know he a GOAT

[@brandonjhonson3536]

No he's not

[@elijahashman9716]

brandon jhonson u bugging nigga “ one mic” is one greatest hip hop songs :

[@3cs3hs]

yep he is, illmatic is by far the best hip hop album of all time

[@tmccz1940]

He’s the best ever

[@leekyle8376]

Joe Blacks nas sucks

[@michaelg4490]

Charlamagne literally says in the same interview that rappers who talk about drugs and gangs are a bad stereotype but won't give Gambino props because his rapping sounds white? This man has his philosophies all twisted and contradicts himself lol

[@OMC-WILDCAT]

And in the same interview "we should welcome whites in hip hop" "I want to be the change that I want to see in the world" and not 5 minutes later calling Gambino white as a way to diss him.

[@inyourgranmaass3605]

His under arm stink that's why

[@TheInfiniteMindOf]

This dude is ready 2 sell out at any second.

[@chiefff007]

He's just waiting for someone to buy in

[@MrThekidisback]

Flacko Word that's what he always use to say.

[@ThExKiDxCuDix]

BRO WATCH HIS 2013 VIDEOS, THE DUDE BLEACHES HIS SKIN. He damn hates himself, that's why VLADS white ass keeps interviewing him.

[@officialsonic1]

MrThekidisback

[@Shemzinho]

ThExKiDxCuDix No he doesn't.. Clearly you know nothing about dermatology. So clueless.

[@theregoaftan9647]

Idk... U gotta listen to Childish Gambino's non-radio tracks... He can really spit...

[@guccigucci5002]

+Aftan L'Lyse spit trash

[@itsbarbieewitch2010]

Nigga sweatpants n freaks n geeks is my shit I swear my favorite line from him is "yea u got some silver wear but really are u eating though, breakfast lunch n dinner for beginners u ain't even know" that plus the beat dropping at that exact moment 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@guccigucci5002]

Nani Wattz Not a fan of any of the rappers you just said. Only rapper that some would consider bad that i like is Gucci mane. Nas if my fav. Donald is ok but he is fake,, he raps about shit he has never done. He grew up with money etc and was never in any hood or crime related spot. Which is fine, but don't rap about shit you never did. Exactly why Jadakiss called him a fraud

[@guccigucci5002]

Nani Wattz lmao. google is your friend

[@nonyashblob]

i love him as a comedian/actor but his lyrics are insanely corny

[@death265]

You can't mention white rappers without the king's of white rapping, the Beastie Boys...it aggravates me to no end they dont get the recognition they deserve.

[@bejitah]

It'd be interesting to see Charlamagne & Jamar in a co-interview.

[@jamalbryant8099]

nah, i want to see dj vlad interview (drum roll) IGGY!

[@johncenastwinbrother7333]

Cyfer F. You mean Charlamagne speaks honestly and Jamar is a racist.

[@Luka2023-]

Charlemagne would kill that washed up crack head

[@Swayze_S.L]

Hiphop4life2011 Lol.. i cant call it

[@Trussme96]

I'd be a mess. Charlemagne would say some suspect shit and Lord Jamar just say some stupid drunk shit and try to fight or something.

[@himothy9871]

Em is nice but i understand how some people dont like him or into him. But you goota understand that he is talented. And yes white priv does apply to him, and he knows that too but hes still great

[@happyhour76]

Facts, he is Hip Hop no matter if he is white.

[@DyingWillFlame04]

It's called preference. Kendrick Lamar is w/o a doubt talented but I don't care for him.

[@pEr5on4LLy]

Jamie Timson Neither do i. Truth is I think he's kinda wack.

[@jon8342]

happyhour76 Em is media hype, with ok lyrics.

[@happyhour76]

Dragon Luffy Ok lyrics? you must only listen to his Mainstream songs

[@writerb5001]

I love Gambino and I would be thrilled if he won a Grammy. I in no way would consider him a "white rapper" though. Whatever that means...

[@writerb5001]

I agree. You don't have to be a dope boy to face trials and issues in your daily life.

[@davids9350]

I don't give a damn what Charlamagne says, Jazz will live forever. One of the original Afro-American genres of music. Hip Hop, Soul, Rock, R&B, Blues are all sub-genres of jazz.

[@sonikku956]

You forgot two other genres: house and techno. Ever since European producers from the 90s jumped on both, unless you were from Chicago or Detroit, both died out for a lot of black people. Shit sucks man.

[@patrickmann3123]

+sonikku956 We turned House into Drum and Bass and Grime don't knock it.Plus lots of non white people in Europe.Even more bods like Vladimir lurking who don't play the race game when it comes to music.

[@sonikku956]

+Patrick Mann I was specifically referring to black Americans. Black Brits did in fact make DnB, dubstep (old dubstep that is) oldschool jungle, trip hop, etc Am I missing anything?

[@patrickmann3123]

+sonikku956 Jungle...I am taking the pee with that.The truth about all the music you put down is black,brown,yellow and white had a hand in it.The culture is not so ingrained more a style and fashion thing here I think.Still look on the bright side you get Slim Shady,we get Calvin Harris so not all bad mate.

[@mikeb.6502]

No music is dead, David. As long as 1 person likes ANY particular style of music, it'll never die. The mindset of people is that if they don't hear it on the radio, it's "dead". You can't kill jazz; just like you can't kill disco. Somewhere, somebody is listening to folk. It's not just about the money that the artist makes...it's about the music. And I truely love it all.

[@OMGLEXAOMG]

Eminem has actual rap skills though you can't compare iggy and eminem.. iggy is mediocre anyone that doesn't see that is obviously blind and doesn't know rap

[@increasepeace4996]

Yeap, she's commercial af.

[@gardoe.c.476]

Black people who knock on Eminem are the ones who are really blind, cause they can't see real talent. Em is one of the greatest ever.

[@dresmith816]

Eminem wack af

[@increasepeace4996]

dre smith WTF?

[@1967chaka]

I took offense to Iggy being compared to Charli Baltimore, Charli had some good tracks and can spit. Iggy is chasing fame and money, she could care less how it is made, therefore I would place her in the Pop group.

[@LMAAAAYOOO]

Its the white privilege. We dont care that yall are in hip hop , its just the manifestation of something that has been apart of black music for a long time. That the powers that be, want a white face to front hip hop so middle class white people(who actually buys the music) can spend the money on these artists. Macklemore said in his interview on Hot 97 that he has profanity in his music and he was a former drug addict yet parents come up to him and say his music is what their kids are allowed to listen to. Thats the problem we have.

[@themindofdre]

Sounds like an easy problem to fix then... Support Black artists. Everyone's complaining about White privilege, but dudes don't support each other. I'm not calling for militant action or another rise of the Black Panthers, but I see dudes hating on each other far too much to come together cohesively to support each other.

[@roocho02]

do you really think that parents sat down and listened to the whole album... macklemores three songs on the radio which is probably what the parents know about dont talk about money, bitches and luxury. same love, cant hold us and thrift shop. Each has a positive message. Name the last black rapper that made radio friendly hits that had a clear positive message. and theres no profanity on the radio so im sure if parents did research on the artist or their full body of work they may feel different about him.

[@LMAAAAYOOO]

I never said that's what parents do, which doesn't make what I said wrong about privilege so..... The chrous of thrift shop has.....you know what nvm

[@PatrickFlemingTheAvantGarde]

Andrew Cremona Kendrick Lamar "I"

[@LMAAAAYOOO]

They dont all do that, but they get typecast as one. Jay Z was referred to in an article as a former drug dealer not businessman but former drug dealer

[@rickyg.3111]

This nigga lookin like Sammy Sosa these days. Lay off the bleach homie

[@MEB2kDeez]

Ever been to a dermatologist for skin probs?

[@jamalbryant8099]

i remember angela yee cracking on him for bleaching his skin

[@THEINFAMOUS1011]

His face is the same color as his hands tho......

[@Bankallday]

THEINFAMOUS1011 How else would get the bleach on his face? By his hands, smart guy

[@breakinparadise]

These dumb niggas in denial. Charlemange gets lighter every time we see him, and its not because of "skin correction" lmfao wtf is a skin correction?? Code word for bleaching?.

[@iAintSayDat]

I rarely agree with Charlemagne, but I agree with most of this.

[@kahlilsykies9139]

The takeover is in process bro. The capital is generated by white people , not black people. Were being year by year faded out. The difference between this and what happened with rock music is that blacks haven't abandoned rap music. Rather were being faded out by music corporates who now realize they can sell white rappers and make far more capital. The sad shame is there's nothing we can do. Black people always end up with the crumbs under the stick when it relates to large money outside of only a very tiny few.

[@iAintSayDat]

Kahlil Sykies We can do something. We can talk about it.

[@kahlilsykies9139]

Hal Davis That is true man. As long as something is talked about it never truly dies.

[@malcolmxpanther]

7 years later Donald Glover dropped This is America, Redbone, and Atlanta. Nobody is calling him a white rapper

[@ChrisMagic30]

facts yo grammys mean nothing in hip hop. How did pac , biggie, snoop and nas not win one

[@j.roberts2230]

GM 007 well, that’s the point..

[@j.roberts2230]

GM 007 and I was clearly making a point ....you said Key Word “accepted”

[@selfishstockton6123]

GM 007 y’all are both confused

[@losangelescardinals]

Alright here's my take: The first ten minutes Charlamagne had some good points. I don't think that he understood fully what J Cole was saying because from I understood Cole was specifically talking about those four. He was right about Eminem except that he's won awards off some subpar albums. At least that's what people keep saying about Relapse or Recovery. Justin didn't start from the bottom because mickey mouse club set a lot of people up for life. If he started from the bottom then so did Drake, and all you Degrassi fans know what I mean. Thank God I stayed to the Childish Gambino thing. He's acting like "I don't hate the dude I just prefer that Iggy would win by a country mile because Gambino smells bad and would have a weird ass speech. But nah I don't hate him, he just thinks I have a problem with him" I wonder why? I mean how can you give Iggy props but be like, Because the Internet shouldn't win or I'm giving up. Telegraph Ave., Worldstar, Sweatpants, Pink Toes all had great back story and context to them. Something I don't know any of those rappers nominated have done. I would take Gambino over 99% of the rap industry, he's lyrically one of the best.

[@jamescleans]

+losangelescardinals Hit it on the fucking head.

[@ibringit987]

+losangelescardinals how is comparing timberlake eminem AND macklemore TO ELVIS 'right'? thats wrong on all levels elvis literally stole the culture and stole songs how does that relate to either? JT did in fact have a sorry start lol trying to insinuate being a child star(given 90% go fucking insane) means a successful career i advice you ask brit spears and the rest of n sync how all that worked for them starting from the bottom does not mean by default you were poor its also a matter of where you are at the food chain and in terms of where JT was when n sync was finished he was most def at the bottom the difference with drake is that he claimed to have zero when he started JT never claimed to be broke for the sake of being relate able the elvis line was very petty from j cole

[@losangelescardinals]

Never said anything about Macklemore or Elvis. And there's a difference from being a child star then fading into abscurity only to come back as part of a pop sensation or something along those lines, and being an actor and transitioning in a rapper. Even though a lot of what you are saying is right I can't agree with anything telling me that Drake and Justin Timberlake's origins are completely different. I could care less about Elvis and I don't even know much about Macklemore. He seems like a good dude but I don't know anything for a fact about him.

[@ibringit987]

losangelescardinals you said j cole was right didn't you? Well one of the things he did was made a comparison to elvis and em and macklemore or was that an agreement with charlamagne? Either way the origins of JT and drake aren't the issue the fact is from where justin was leading into his transition to hip hop or rnb justin was at the bottom due to the image he created THATS my point going from n sync to a culture where clearly people have a misguided definition of machismo and major insecurity issues is hard for anyone and being white wont make it easier im not talking rich or poor in terms off starting from the bottom im talking place within the food chain drake never had the issue of being within that area

[@losangelescardinals]

Well I'm not arguing food chain status or transitions from acting to music. I'm referring to lyrics and the context behind them, at least with the case with Drake. Elvis and Macklemore are too relative to my opinion. Not to sound like a douche but I don't have to acknowledge or address that part of Charlamagne's view. By the way it's R&B but that's just technicalities I suppose

[@lamarcusm]

Give Charlamagne "Donkey of the day"...how is he even wearing the GOD crown is his name?

[@louielou6213]

I think he defends logic & reasoning more than anything.

So? Stop making this a race issue.

[@marcomeme4875]

he's right too

[@SG85917]

i didnt make it a race issue charlamagne did lol

[@rickyg.3111]

[@dfzbmw]

Charlamagne really reminds me of this kid who stole like 10 bucks worth in change from me in college and still to this day won't admit it. Just the way he acts.

[@Theisiahhsjcodjebshaisok]

why does everything have to be race related? music is heard through the ears not the eyes. we are all the same on the inside

[@dithyboy4422]

Nope hip hop was made thru blac people struggles n blac people ways of living in the hood , white people just thought the subject was coo n came out with they own raps with a bunch of lies in Em n just doing it because its some type of cool to them but it's the way us blacks live forreal even the big chains n material thing , that was OUR way of living n having fun white people need to leave hip hop where it was n create something of their own

[@HypePerformanceGroup]

Really disappointed by him calling Childish White.

[@Leon3dg]

Only thing black about him Is his skin, and im a fan of his music

[@HypePerformanceGroup]

+Spade3dg but we have to stop doing this in our community. I spent all of school years being told I wasn't black enough. Black is black, it shouldn't matter what activities you like or how you speak or who you hang out with.

[@HypePerformanceGroup]

+dogwondr you get exactly where I'm coming from and people don't understand how damaging it is. If you want the stereotype of our people to change you have to do your part of changing that stereotype and part of that is not having people grow up think black equals thug. You're born black, you don't earn black through street cred, it's a God given gift.

[@dogwondr]

***** If we're using that logic, then Gambino is really black then. You're the one that said he wasn't.

[@HypePerformanceGroup]

I never said he wasn't black, I said the opposite. I said we need to stop stripping people of their blackness because they don't fit the thug sterotype. Spade3dg said the only thing black about him was his skin. Not me.

[@beantownbears]

I like how Charlamagne is talking about Schoolboy being the underdog of TDE, and doesn't even say Jay-Rock's name. smh irony for days

[@Vizion_Precision]

I mean we really shouldn't give a fuck about the grammy's Nas has never even won one that's crazy.

[@kyadelavoka]

Cthagod is my dude but You already know he don't know what he's talking about when he said eminem don't get recognition n he's never heard anyone call em the g.o.a.t.

[@SocietyIsTwisted]

He actually does know what he's talking about. A lot of hip hop fans dont like to think of Em as one of the best and even when they do, they mKe it seem impossible for him to be number 1. Eminem is just as undderrated as he is overrated.

[@TheKomet123]

Shawn Jones he either doesn't or do. Some say he's dope others say he's wack

[@SocietyIsTwisted]

Hood Philosopher Exactly hes polarizing. You have some people who say hes the best and never even heard other rappers just like youll have people deny that he even rhymes in his songs. It goes both ways. Eminem is by the most hated artists besides Iggy maybe as well as the most stanned.

[@kyadelavoka]

Shawn Jones Actually no he doesn't. He he didn't get the props he deserves he wouldnt be where he was now. A lot of hip hop fans, not majority of hiip hop fans. You're an idiot if you think Eminem is the most hated besides Iggy.

[@SocietyIsTwisted]

k f Lol you make no sense. Ever heard of Justin Biebet, Kanye, Lil Wayne? You think just because you're big you're immune to hate? You're ignorant of you think he's not the most hated

[@datguy1569]

I don't care about hip hop anymore since Tupac and Pimp C passed. J Cole is cool Kendrick is cool it's just not what I care to listen to anymore but I like to come here to hear Charlemagne truth.

[@OGKWAM]

[@ServantofAnubis007]

So you’ve just completely sworn off hip hop since the mid90s. You do realize their are way more rappers than those 2 right.

[@raymondleggs5508]

why is childish Gambino considered white? why cuz he dont rap over mostly electro beats? cuz he dont talk about cars hoes and shoes?

[@RyuBlack93]

Was just thinkin' that... lol

[@raymondleggs5508]

i meant he rap over electro beats not he dont rap over electrobeats. hell i produce trance music and im black.

[@guyedmondson5666]

You have to understand the things he says

[@guyedmondson5666]

He’s not white it just certain things he says and not the way he talks just certain things he says makes him act white💯

[@1tvirus]

Any black man wanting to name themselves after the "Father of Europe" has already dismissed his own culture. Expect covert self hate and the willfulness to play ball for the corporate agenda.

[@taj7378]

Yeah, but Europe was named after the "black" African Princess Europa. Truth.

[@Trussme96]

What about the 60 percent of artists who name themselves after Italians and Latinos?

[@Saintliked]

Taj Ferrell Europa was Semitic Since when has Semitic meant black? Oh, let me guess anything that is not white is automatically black?

[@taj7378]

Saintliked That's a question you should ask the millions of Khazarians who (falsely) claim to be Semites, and claim others to be anti-Semites. Do your research, and NEVER take history lesson's from a white man, no disrespect.

[@Saintliked]

Did you get that from the bible? You do know that the vast majority of the bibles teaching are fictitious? Why do black people seem to think they are the chosen people? Never has been true, never will be true. A lot of Eurocentric history is false, just like Afrocentric history.

Being from Fayetteville, it is so inspiring to hear people talk bout J. Cole on the level that he is as an international artist. And driving through the town, it is so cool to know that Cole used to come here and there.

[@RyuChase]

[@Blacksnyder]

Except when the person he's talking shit about him is looking at him in his face.

[@RyuChase]

[@jdubdajuiceman]

Cthagod not understanding. Nobody is shook about white rappers, J. Cole was saying white people have snatched the sound cause they're the ones winning all the awards in black categories right now when its artists way better than them that deserve those awards.

[@guinessdrinker_azc29]

Vlad's my boy, supporting Gambino to win the Grammy, and I genuinely do think he can win !!! If the grammys judge it on artistic quality, and look at each album properly, Gambino will win. BEST ALBUM IN PAST DECADE FOR ME !!! But whether they'll do that or not, I don't know !!! I definitely do want Childish Gambino to win, but I think Eminem will win, because he is the most popular rapper in the category, I'm not on the whole "IGGY WILL WIN" bandwagon, cus I just don't see it, I don't care what you say !!! F*** IT, BINO IS TAKING THAT GRAMMY HOME !!!

[@thechosen2016]

J Cole explained what he meant by this line... Charlamagne just thinks hes the most intelligent person on the planet, and everyone else is always wrong.

[@brothacaim]

stop...he explained it very brightly

[@ofwgkta42]

Charlamagne talking smart here, but I personally know white people that say they're not racist, but their favorite rappers are Eminem, Mac Miller, G-Eazy, Macklemore, and Beastie Boys.

[@msrainbowbrite]

thank you

[@kaze-pup281]

I'm white/asian and my favorite Rappers have always been Nickle 9, and Mos Def. Em doesn't count as a white rapper tho all the rap elites have taken him into the black culture. But white rappers are subpar or lower at most.

Time change. HipHop is no longer a black thing just like rock is no longer a white thing (and its been that way for a while). There are black country singers. Get over it and appriciate new sounds.

[@U_1984]

+Reese Brandon true that.

[@WilliBernardinoTheRapper]

+Reese Brandon sadly u dont know black ppl created rock n roll to and thats what they are talking about lmfao...

[@WilliBernardinoTheRapper]

+Ivan Kovalenko its not that at all but listening to charlamagne say wat he just said as if a take over does not occur then for this commentor to say rock n roll is no longer white...he doesn't know in actuality rock n roll is no longer black he thinks it was white when it never was...thus contradicting charlamagnes claims of it being impossible to take over hip hop. when its been going on forever from art to poetry to inventions.

[@WilliBernardinoTheRapper]

+Ivan Kovalenko I don't mind ppl embracing or enjoying but if there were no ppl like me to say hey naw it derived from here ppl will not know in time. its something that needs to be said bcuz ppl like Charlemagne act as if it isn't possible when it has happened time and time again ppl need to remember the beginning or creation where it once came or else...just like how Marc Jacobs claimed an African hairstyle and called the Marc Jacobs knots giving no credit to to the ppl who made it..when they were really called Buntu Knots it shows how ppl will try to profit market and steal. whatever is available to be stolen.

[@MrDevNev]

+Reese Brandon bad comparison rock was ours first. 90 percent of american music creations were ours brotha. Everyone can do everything no doubt but know that origins are origins. but I agree it's not a black thing. but will always be a black creation

[@MOBFAX]

No way out had the Benjamins & Missing You were the most popular songs that year. I liked WU's album but I can see why No Way Out won that year.

[@fppcreativegroup1427]

Regarding Gambino, "Don't talk your shit and shake hands about it"- Childish Gambino ThIS is why Childish had a problem with Charlamagne. He starts out by talking down on Bino, then follows up by immediately contradicting himself, to only go back on himself again and talk more shit. At this point it doesn't matter anyway, Gambino is doing big things with FX and Atlanta and is still an influential name in rap, despite not having any new music in about two years, and in my opinion has surpassed this entire beef by becoming too big for it. But it's still worth saying that this is either a huge oversight by Charlamagne on not realizing the impact of his own words, or he's just a pompous dickhead. It doesn't matter, this isn't relevant anymore.

[@fppcreativegroup1427]

learn to write correctly in the English language, then get back to me.

[@rodneybresch9007]

He's real, when it suits him.He said in this interview that will smith deserves his grammy in 99. And he says gambino stinks, while he's wearing eyeliner? Yall need new role models.

+James P.D yeah, at best CTG keeps it like 75. but never 100 lol

[@gavinlaird85]

I think most white people who listen to rap, like me, really miss the days when Hip Hop was "more black" like in the 90's n'shit. We hate Iggy Azelea too. The problem is, all the executives, white or black, are all looking for the Iggy Azelea type rappers who will sell the most records because they appeal to the mainstream. It's the same in every genre of music nowadays. The only hope for us people who love "real rap" is to root through the underground for the real shit. It's there and its great. Shit's just harder to find nowadays than it used to be. ps: FUCK THE GRAMMYS.

After rewatching this, CTG is completely wrong on this topic. He is missing the whole point of what J. Cole was saying. 💯

[@LaCheleWallace]

When I first heard and saw Eminem, I was completely turned off. His voice used to irritate the hell out of me. I'm so glad his music is no longer clogging the wires. Black people are to blame though. Ya'll are pumpin' Iggy and them up like they're just the best ever. Honestly, I want each and every one of them cancelled for good. Mackelemore, G-Eazy, all of them. Imma let that Ukrainian boy stay around for a little bit longer. I wanna see what he can do.

CHARLAMAGNE hip hop is the great grand-child of jazz

[@ibominc.3087]

Actually cutting funding to music programs within the inner city schools created room for Anglo - Europeans to move into jazz as well as R&B while slowly moving Afrikan Americans further out of these genres.

[@MonicaHewitt]

i agree

[@verbalvenom2677]

I agree also. Furthermore, it's hard to pay for lessons and instruments when unemployment is twice the national average in our communities. Charlamange has a overly simplistic way of analyzing the world. He secretly plays the middle so as to "not fuck up his money." He has stated this many times before. Conversely, he does speak some truth, but it is marginal at best.

[@dandrechesterfield5411]

I didn't realize black people were only allowed to be one thing. Thanks for the wisdom Charlamagne

[@TheJakeMarc]

So let me get this straight.... When a white artist enters hip hop and raps about "black people stuff" they complain that they are stealing their culture and their traits and attributes for profit. When they rap about something else like Macklemore and same love it's "You need to rap about what we want you to rap about. You are a guest here". You are all just complaining for the hell of it at this point.

If Childish Gambino wins a Grammy, I'm done with the Grammys for good.

[@b12and3n9000]

He had one of the best albums of the year actually, and a hit record. So you should be happy if he gets a Grammy. Because they would be right.

[@ChazBlanks]

Over Schoolboy Q YG and J Cole, get out of here.

[@b12and3n9000]

Charlie Macallister 1.YG album wasn't better then gambino's. Gambino put way more work into his album/roll out/ video/ story. 2nd. J.cole's album didn't make the cut. 3rd. I'm a fan of oxymoron but no. It's not better then Because the internet. By a long shot.

[@jamalbryant8099]

who the fuck going to nominate a ratchet album

[@ChazBlanks]

Childish Gambino is good, but he didn't have the best album of the year by a long shot, better the Iggy yes,Best rap performance goes to Childish out of the five, but album nah, Common, Eminem or Schoolboy Q is better than Childish Gambino, but if Iggy wins I'm officially done.

+Myils Rodrigue drake ?? you compare the way Logic spits to Drake ?? i respect that you have an opinion of your own i cant knock that. but for me it isnt worth even debating at this point because i completely and utterly disagree so ill just leave it at that

[@PhilthyPhilTheOriginal]

+Myils Rodrigue ok i agree with that whole statement. because Logic's flow and style of delivery is so raw. Drake is to mainstream and raps about the same shit every song. His diss song was dope tho. But i agree with your last statement so we're good haha

[@shonhomezzz6222]

Charlamagne looking for those white interviews.

[@toneriggz]

You could argue that Eminem's music has been shit for the past decade. And, Justin started from the bottom on the Mickey Mouse Club and NSYNC?! Meanwhile, Macklemore was rapping and touring independently for years before he blew up. Macklemore didn't come from the bottom but the Mickey Mouse/NSYNC singer did?

[@MrEherndon5]

Bino had the best album out of the nominees. I hope he does win.

[@austinfailz]

His impersonation of Lord Jamar is fucking spot on and hilarious.

[@tybooskie]

Iggy came to America when she was 16 alone , so IDK. I moved to the South at 13 and I feel like I am from here now at 27. I still had the influence of my family at home, unlike Iggy, so I still have a lot of where I was born in me (accent, food) but I don't have a strong connection. Whenever I visit I feel less and less connected. My brother, who was 17, feels the same way, he even lost his original accent. Our 3 older siblings are so culturally different from us, it's crazy.

[@josegil783]

I don't think Charlamagne understands his contradiction. Justin Timberlake is talented because he sings, dances, and acts. When it comes to Childish Gambino, he just "stinks." The dude writes, acts, and sings. Donald Glover is a performance artist, just like Timberlake. Charlamagne says some good shit, but lets his personal vendettas distort his message.

[@Infredred223]

Is he lying tho? He sucks as a rapper and actor

[@Keesha_Hardy]

Charlamagne missed Donald Glover's/Childish Gambino's point before and here he goes again, missing another excellent point with J. Cole. It's a shame how misinformed Char and many other people in this world are who share that same line of thinking.

[@lucariojet]

He right though. If White People were to take over hip hop, it would have happened already, seriously - look at who they sent to compete, G-Easy (i've never heard a record from the dude to be honest), Asher Roth, MGK, Mac Miller, RiFF RaFF, Bubba Sparx, Chris Webby apparently?, and hell - i'll throw in Action Bronson and Yelawolf in there - cause i'm not talking about skill. I'm talking mainstream success. Most of these guys are one hit scenarios with occasional appearances on a feature, at best.

[@ingui007]

Something that me and Charlemagne agree on: Schoolboy Q deserves to win the Grammy. I know he won't, but Oxymoron was an amazing album. Plus I could relate to it (not the gang banging), but drug addiction, poverty, shattered family relationships; I went through that shit. Q may be as conceptual as Kendrick, but he has a level of genuine appeal that is rivaled by few in the industry.

My point stands, Rap music today is recycled, unoriginal garbage that will eventually play out. It has to.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Eminem is as famous as he is because he's talented AND white. I don't understand; do ya'll not understand that we are the 'MINORITY' here? If it was up to just black people to feed Hip-hop, Hip-hop would be dead broke in a WEEK.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Sean Davis Lol, and the only Rock star that could move more units than Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, or Little Richard was Elvis. So make your point. in fact, you only justified mine.

[@tybooskie]

+Sean Davis His/her point was that white people buy their music. Without white buyers they would not sell as many records. Eminem appealed to those white wallets that were not really feeling other artists. There are just more white people plain and simple. But the dead in a week comment was not always true. Back in the day few white people were feeling Whoudini and Grand Master Flash. It is true now mostly because HipHop is apart of nearly every popular style of music, even country. EDM is the most popular around the world.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Michael Bay Oh, you're White and you disagree. Therefore, I'm retarded. Good point.

[@smoothcriminal4038]

We knew that as soon as Em came in the game and white folks jumped on that album that it wouldn't be long before they start saying that EM was the greatest which isn't true at all.. It's not enough for them to just say he's one of the greatest they have to take it a step further which they aways do.. I was watching a boxing match with one of my white friends and Loma was fighting walters and I like Loma so naturally I wanted him to win and he beat Walter's until he quit and immediately after the fight they started saying that Loma maybe the best fighter ever and at that time I don't think Loma had more than 10 fights and my white friend started saying yeah I think that's right Loma is the greatest boxer ever and I'm like really how in the fuck does that makes any sense lol It's like white people don't feel they have to play by the rules they can just break them and make new ones up as they go on and that's the problem.. I feel bad for Em because he's one of the most humble guys out there and he never says the dumb shit that his rabbit fan base says in fact Em has his own list of rappers that he think are better than him some of which o don't agree with but that's another story.

[@merkurii3877]

You need to start saying "american whites" because whites anywhere else in the world aren't like that. Sucks that you bunch all white people together with American whites, pretty much all of us know that Americans are the laughing stock of the world, specifically the white ones.

[@user-gq5ry9oy1r]

Eminem and that Loma guy (at that point in time anyway) have nothing in common. Em has multiple classic albums and countless classic records to his name, aside from being the most purely lyrically gifted mc of all time. So, he didn't just have 10 fights, he had a couple hundred and won them all. Also, he has sold more records than any rapper in history. His music doesn't just influence white or black people, it impacts people from every race all around the world in ways most black rappers can't do. His music connects with and impacts his respective fanbase as much as any black rapper, if not more. So, he has multiple classic albums, sold an insane amount of records, probably has the biggest fanbase in rap, is lyrically unrivaled, and his music connects with his fans on a psychological and emotional level? In my mind, that makes him the greatest rapper of all time.

[@lslewis]

I think the best and most summarizing way he made his case was, "It's so much ours, that it's OK to share it." That was put nicely; and I can get with that. There's enough people of color laying the foundation for hip hop to keep anyone else from stealing it or calling it theirs. The thing with rock & roll is different though. Elvis arguably came on the scene in such a way that he was the first face most people so with the label of rock in America.

Its foul to call Childish Gambino a white rapper. That is a weak ass comment.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

He said he wanted to be white, so isn't that more of a compliment?

[@cbftstorm1]

ADAJ3 He said he wanted to be white to experience the success whites have in rap and in life. He was not being literal. I wish I didn't really need to explain that to you but it is what it is.

[@cbftstorm1]

People need to really understand that Charlemagne is not a smart person. He is of average intelligence at best so when Childish Gambino made his comment about wanting to be white, the comment was so far above Charlemagne's intelligence level that it was inevitable he would misunderstand it and therefore promulgate a false narrative to the masses. He has the media platforms to push this incorrect interpretation. This is what happens when you end up listening to people who are not critical thinkers. When you speak satirically or use metaphors they are not quick enough to pick up on it and miss the point entirely. I listen and watch Charlemagne for entertainment purposes, not to assist me in developing opinions or seeking news. He is not that dude. People, please always seek out people who are smarter than you, that is the only way we learn. If Charlemagne is that smarter than you, then, Oh well. Go back to your checkers game, it is your turn to get jumped.

The reason why hip hop fans care about the Grammys is because it is recognition in the eyes of the mainstream which, to an extent, is important.
