Who Gives a **** about a God-Damn Grammy?!,The Source(1989)
We all know that this year the Grammy awards finally gave rap the recognition it deserves by awarding it a Grammy. But, as the Fresh Prince put it, what the rappers did not know was that they “gave us the diploma and did not let us walk down the aisle.”
The Grammys decided to present the rap award off camera, disrespecting our legitimate and powerful art form. To protest this decision, all the rap nominees (with one notable exception) boycotted the Grammy ceremony. In its place, Yo! MTV Raps, with host Fab Five Freddy, threw a party at LA’s Cat & Fiddle on Grammy night. The turn out they got was incredible.
Ice-T and the whole Rhyme Syndicate posse showed up, along with Slick Rick, Kid ‘n’ Play, Def Jef, Eazy-E, 7A3, the Boys, a few surprise guests, and four of the five nominees: Salt-n-Pepa, JJ Fad, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, and Kool Moe Dee (LL was busy working on his upcoming double album). The party was definitely the hippest place to be on Grammy night in LA.

What happened at the Grammys comes as no surprise to me.
Lemonade is an album that celebrates black culture and women, so what did you expect? Did you really believe that they could give the most important award of the night to an album that empowers African American culture, that celebrates the woman, expecially the black woman?
Lemonade didn’t win but this as nothing to do with music.
The society is still refusing to recognize the talent and the genius when it doesn’t come from white people and for some strange reasons it just can’t give full credits to people who deserve them.
But at the end of the day, is that award really important? is it really that essential? I think not, and you know why?
Lemonade made people embrace their own culture, beauty and pain.
It showed depression, love, anger, apathy, joy all at the same time.
It gave a voice to those who couldn’t speak.
It gave courage to people to stand up for themselves.
It showed images in which people could reflect themselves and feel empowered.
So if they want to snub all of this greatness, there’s nothing we can do but keep on pushing, helping and supporting Beyoncé to fight the system and make the world a better place!
