CaliCurbStomppa Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Didn't watch it tonight.. How many Grammy Awards did Eminem take tonight? Anyone else dominate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) The people at the Grammy's got it right. Just because it's not rap doesn't mean it's not good. Arcade Fire had the best album by far out of all the nominees.I'm not arguing that they got it wrong, I'm just shocked cause I never heard of these people Who is Esperanza Spalding? Her dad invent the basketball? Drake made out like a bandit, grinding on Rihanna and walked off the stage with a smile. :glasses:Spalding actually revolutionized baseball Edited February 14, 2011 by fish7718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOnTheMoon Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Grammys were a [expletive]ing joke this year...the only part of the show that was entertaining was Eminem + Dre + Rihanna performing. I still don't see how Em only won 2 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The Grammy's didn't surprise me at all. They always try and give the awards to the people you know nothing about to continue with that whole "we know more than you" attitude.

misterx Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 bonus points for spalding for playing cello and going somewhere with it besides the typical chamber orchestra route. im inspired to go back and study music theory. but then again im a lazy [expletive] lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't Eminem or Jay-Z, but their album is better than both none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Their first live performance was like WTF is going on....all I saw was strobe lights going off, I didn't really listen to the song. It was literally 5 minutes of my TV flashing strobes at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hyped the [expletive] out of Eminem's comeback/recovery, give him 10 nominations and he wins 2 without the main "Album of the year". Arcade Fire does not deserve album of the year, compared to Eminem who comes back from near fatal over dose, drugs, etc. and then has the best selling album of the year. And I thought Relapse > Recovery technically, skill wise, etc. Edited February 14, 2011 by Rhyme Asylum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 because he came back, his album becomes superior? I didn't know Tom Petty still recorded new albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOnTheMoon Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) because he came back, his album becomes superior? I didn't know Tom Petty still recorded new albums No, it's because his album was the best of the nominees. Best Alternative Music Album* Brothers, The Black KeysThe Suburbs, Arcade FireInfinite Arms, Band Of HorsesBroken Bells, Broken BellsContra, Vampire Weekend Album of the Year:* The Suburbs, Arcade FireRecovery, EminemNeed You Now, Lady AntebellumThe Fame Monster, Lady GagaTeenage Dream, Katy Perry Tell me how Arcade Fire didn't have the Best Alternative Music Album but the Best Album of ALL genres? That just proves how [expletive]ing retarted the Grammy jury is. Edited February 15, 2011 by Rhyme Asylum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bomba Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Recovery sucked. I'm a huge Eminem fan, but it's a weak album. Any music critic out there will say The Suburbs was a top 5 album of 2010. Whether or not it's your musical style is fine, but at least listen to the album because half the people saying Recovery should of won have never even heard of Arcade Fire.

Obviously you would go at that comment and over-look the rest of what i posted. There is no way they should have gotten the award over Eminem, even over Gaga. *Muse > Arcade Fire Edited February 15, 2011 by Rhyme Asylum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 This was one of Muse's weaker albums honestly. Those of you who haven't listened to Arcade Fire really should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaveli Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Recovery was the best rap album by any mainstream hip-hop artist last year, but individually third worst Eminem album. It's a lot better than Relapse was, but A LOT worse than classics like Slim Shady, MM LP's, and the Eminem Show. Too bad not any semi-mainstream or underground artists never get recognized by big time events like Grammy awards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOnTheMoon Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I guess the only way you can win the main awards in the Grammys now a days is by showing up in eggs, wearing pieces of meat, dressing like a clown, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
