Episode 45: The Grammys Suck But You Know That Already

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 15:42:00 GMT

I mean they suck, always have sucked, always will suck, and somehow every year they find a NEW way too suck. Their top nominated acts were Drake (who’s called me out in the past for effectively ghetto-izing his pop hits into the hip-hop category), and Lamar who dropped the most Grammy friendly album ever (woke hip-hop jazz with pop hits!) and effectively got locked out of the big categories and banished to hip-hop land with Rick Rawse.

And this year's nominees....oh boy.
