Was he worthy of those accolades?
I know he was nominated for AMA's and won one.
And he did received the Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award as he mentioned.
Was he deserving of more ?
I love Sweat.
But it was way too much competition for him in his prime. He was bound to be overlooked.
I think he was deserving of more.
I mean he's not the best vocalist and probably the most notorious for "whining" in his era, but he was extremely unique and definitely the moment in the 90s. His overall sound has been sampled, copied and referenced in a lot of ways
Regardless, the late 80s and 90s was the golden age for r&b and it's been thoroughly discussed how extremely talented artists missed out on awards to other talented artists.
Ummmmm I'm not surprised, he's terrible. Definitely not surprised at a Grammy. By the time BET awards came around he was past his prime and none of the music he released deserved an award. The only award I could see him having is a soul train mess. He was still active and releasing good enough music during the soul train award era
I can't say I'm a big fan, but he was pretty popular - like R Kelly for the teeny boppers of the early 90s. but I don't think this is him getting overlooked, there was heavy competition in his era.

I kinda see Keith Sweat more as the Jeremiah or Trey Songz of the late 80s/90s.
Big hits, a R&B icon... but idk if they were Grammy worthy. Definitely deserved a soul train or source award mess at least though.
He's never ever been nominated for a Grammy. Now that's crazy. He's at least worthy of a Grammy Nod especially during his Twisted/Nobody era.

That's my point of view as well... the BET Awards' inaugural ceremony was in 2001. By that time, Keith Sweat's prime was over. Even though he's released music since, nothing has charted or been impactful. I do believe that he was nominated for Grammys during his prime but he didn't win... that's life.
How do I say this politely? He doesn't deserve shit
I agree with this whole thread. A Soul Train award at max, outside of that idk
He deserves something for pioneering the whole New Jack Swing movement with Teddy.
I find his voice very aggravating...

He wasn't overlooked though, his songs and albums both performed well on the charts and sales wise. He just isn't someone who is popular nowadays so people are constantly forgetting how successful he was
keith def had some jams and i dont know his catalog very well
but his songs def had a comedic undertone to them. and i dunno if it was intentional
jdnsjndsjnsdjnjndjnjnjnjnjjnjjj
and god he was/is foine :heyddy:
He deserved something
He got a career and with that voice he should count his mf blessings
King is also a songwriter lol

You missed my whole point
He WAS overlooked award wise due to the competition during that time. I'm well aware of how successful he was
Of course he doesn't have a BET award, the show didn't exist and there was too much competition during the other shows.

He lost in this category 3 times
They could've gave it to him over Barry White though lol

A lot of our icons and legends were overlooked in the awards department.
