That’s what’s up? It’s a start to the conversation. They’ve been put on notice. Although I feel we don’t need their approval or acknowledgment to judge our art. Just stand together and support the ones that do. It’s easy to have an award show for our music/culture and make it as “prestigious” as the Grammy. Stop supporting theirs and create your own. Without us, there would be no Grammy Awards. This also applies to other aspects of life, as well.

Was he complaining about that when he was winning them?

Thats hard bar for 2020

And your not wrong

But this reminds me of his beef with the lox

Andre Harrell and a few other OG black music execs said Puff just did it the way he was TAUGHT

Basically all the contracts white or black were like that.

Puff didnt go out specifically to screw artists

Again i aint in the music game but damn near every artist got screwed contractually.

So i think the message is actually extra powerful coming from Puff

especially since he isnt absolving himself.

And he been mad different since Kim died.

I hope he follows thru...

Now if he doesn't?

I hate to break it to y'all but (as usual) Puffy is FULL OF SHIT. He's a former National Trustee of the same Academy he's now criticizing and he had no issue cosigning the shenanigans when his artists were getting nominations and winning. The current national Chairman of the Board is 72yo jazz *LEGEND* Harvey Mason from Foreplay, and current trustees include Paul Wall and Rico Love as well as Terri Lynn Carrington, Lalah Hathaway and several other non-performing Black industry execs. I know as fact that the Atlanta Chapter's Board of Governors is majority hip hop oriented - JFly is the current President and Jermaine Dupri was President for at least 10 years.

The Grammys even created a special nomination review committees for the rap categories in 2018 to safeguard the music’s integrity and to serve as additional checks and balances. The change allowed rising acts to earn nominations over veteran performers who seemed to get nominated no matter what they released. Also to help guard against potentially embarrassing wins such as Macklemore & Ryan Lewis beating Kendrick Lamar for best rap album in 2014. :curse:

So damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
He wasn't damnd when he didn't so that doesn't apply. No one cared. He was still #blackexcellence to everybody, just off being rich and whatever else he liked to do. Those charter schools he makes are awesome.

Yeah I don't think Black people have a tough time being seen, heard, or recognized in the music business of all sectors to be yapping about. We're OVER represented in that shit. Movies as well. I had a South African girl who though the Black percentage of the US population was well over the 13 percent, just based off all the media we put out. Movie, music,sports and entertainment-- we're hardly lacking there

Until some Black people win some-- this happens every other year. People bitch, then when someone wins, it's all years and smiles on stage. Black Twitter posts the acceptance speech all day. Anyone who believes these "boycotts", I'd love to sell ya some beachfront property in Arizona
