Grammy's

Im a little bothered with the Grammy's. Both Kanye West's albums; My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Watch the Throne are being called two of the greatest rap albums ever and MBDTF is being called the album of the year by multiple publications including the Rolling Stones. Thumbs up for Adele raking in the awards, but as the grammy's have been correctly criticized for, the fact that Kanye's ablum wasn't nominated is wrong. Just becuase he's obnoxious doesn't mean you can discredit his music and hold him out of every major category he should be in. Based on both critical reviews and chart topping success both of these albums should have been in over some of the other one's. The grammy's need to actualy nominate based on public recpetion, number of albums sold, critical recpetion. If they don't understand hip hop well enough to nominate it, (like they do pop) they get a damn hip hop conniseur on staff. Get it right. Album of the Year-MBDTF

I think you are right... it's like they punished him. The Grammys become impossible because there are so many different styles of music out there right now.
