The Grammy awards were on Sunday night and while there were plenty of winners, including Lizzo going home with three gramophones, Black media lost out big on the red carpet.
BlackTree Media, which has covered the show for the last 14 years, was present with their camera crew on the big night, and captured plenty of disappointing video of Black artists walking past them and the few Black media correspondents who were all thrown together at the end of a long red carpet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gu0t54bKFM
"There's a struggle, especially for Black media," Jamaal Finkley, CEO of BlackTree, said over B-roll of stars on the carpet. "The struggle is multifaceted. First, there's the placement that we are on the carpet, which is usually we're all bundled near the end of the carpet. Second is the publicists that represent the talent, which you'll see in some of these videos, and third, it's the talent themselves, who make conscious efforts or lack of effort to take time to speak to the few Black-owned media."
As he pointed out, there is not more than four or five Black media representatives on the carpet at one time out of a sea of non-Black ones, but by the time celebrities get past the major white publications at the beginning of the carpet, they, along with their publicists, zone out. Finkley can be heard in the video telling the likes of rappers Gucci Mane and Quavo of the Migos, "Don't just do PEOPLE!" (Interesting enough, both mens' names popped up for interviews secured with Billboard that night.) Other stars who walked past were H.E.R., Questlove, Lil Nas X and reportedly Rick Ross. Rapper Gunna did stop with his publicist, but wasn't able to answer questions for long.
"Been doing it for too long to continue to watch this BS happen," Finkley wrote in the comments on YouTube. "Each of these award shows cost blacktree $1500 to cover and to see people just ignore us for white media is ridiculous. They thirsty for that 30 seconds on a white outlet while ignoring 4 black outlets. Maybe 5. Like you can't make the time sis or bro? Wtf. We here to cover you."

Did this dude really come to the Grammys with an Adidas suit and French beret on yelling "come over here with the black people?" I wouldn't have stopped either. I don't think it's a black thing like they are trying to make it but more like unprofessional and not ready thing for journalism.
This silence when Nas walked by. Hmm...

Exactly. We (blacks) can't support each other but you want someone to go out their way to support you because you are black. Using it when it's convenient for him.
How can you expect others to be inclusive when you are not yourself? Nas is one o the biggest names in music rn, he was THE person to interview if no one else..

Did you not watch the video? He was yelling and screaming for other black artists to "cum heya" but let Nas walk pass because I'm assuming he was gay and didn't want to interview him.

Of course they show off everyone's fashion from afar but he was trying to interview everyone BUT Nas and I just wanna know why. That's all.
:trannyjblige:
He's pissed that no one stopped for him, but he's yelling at them to come over in a unprofessional manner?
but at the same time he let one of the biggest black stars walk by?
Oh ok.
The Grammys need to arrange to PR line also so it's a mixed assembly.

You're missing the point. I'm not even that kind of gorl to say, "well what about.." but it's kind of apparent here.
They're on a red carpet, every camera is going to record and showcase each celebrity walking it. He was trying to get the attention of the other people to interview them, why didn't he try to interview Nas?
And him yelling for a damn Gucci and not Lil Nax shows what type of content he wanted to interview/include :dead:
Or is he one of those black men that are pissed Lil Nas is successful AND gay?

The more content you upload the more views you'll get.

So why did he let him walk by?
It's easier to try and reason with someone when you feel that you can speak their language, and that you have more common ground with them.
"Yo homie! Cmon son! Do it for the hood!" is a lot of what I heard from him.
Maybe he just didn't feel that confident in even attempting to get Nas to come over. Because they're from two different sectors of the community. That's reason
That's a more reasonable conclusion to come to - considering that Nas is on his platform. It's clear that he sees value in including him in some way - and is not "afraid" of his image or showcasing it.
He had no problem doing it for Lizzo. Just stop, you're smarter than this.

yh Yh Yh :dead:
He didn't want to interview that faggot
How do you expect for black people to support their own people when you only support what is comfortable for you? So why should Nas, a black male, go out of his way to interview with a blogger that will benefit more out of it to help them when you really aren't for black people like you stated. You can't pick and choose what part of blackness you like.
He's at the GRAMMYS lil nas x is one of the biggest BLACK acts that night
Was Gucci nominated? No.
I mean it speaks for itself
and if he doesn't feel he's able to find common ground speaking to black people that aren't from the same background as him... then maybe he shouldnt be a journalist? :uhh:

is this reek :guys:
Fro you look ridiculous in here. You can't even justify this nor answer the question of why he pass Nas without talking in circles. That just hurt my feelings since it was Nas and you are a gay male also.
Who co-signed who
If you're talking about Milan, there's only 4 people in here including you, and the other 3 didn't co-sign anything that idiot said :dead:

Ya'll are the same gorls who lashed Nipsey for calling out the media about using Black gays for their "Black male emasculation" agenda
I wasn't one of those girls, I loved what Nipsey represented. He had a flaw of toxic hetero-masculinity but he meant well overall..

men as well, we read them just as much as the white fags and the white bitches
Just because we dragged Nipsey for that stupid comment AND not forgetting mess he said about BLACK WOMEN also..

This is so NOT just about him, or whatever homophobia he may have. Who cares tbh
Ultimately it comes down to support for Black business - which is what these platforms are.
This is a real issue.

Fro, it didn't make sense for him to ignore Nas like that as he was literally yelling for others. He didn't even attempt or whisper for him to come over. That'd be like Nipsey turning down a gay black business owner from an expo he threw for black businesses..
Fro, you're gay and also made gay music and wanted us to listen to it. Out of everyone here, you should understand.
OMG and this nigger spoke to OutKast, Common, Kirk Franklin, Sheila E and Misty Copeland....but didn't bother with Lil Nas x :dead:
It's clear what kind of people he wanted to speak to :dead:

Our focus just seems to be different here.
I'm focused on the story of Black media being mistreated on the red carpet
And you're calling someone out for what it appears to be homophobia.
That's all. No one is "wrong" IMO
I just honestly don't care whether this man likes gays or not. It's not....a huge deal to me. This story is interesting to me, though.
It shouldn't matter whether he likes gays or not. His job was to interview people on that carpet. He was exclusive with the people he CHOSE to seek so how can he himself complain that people chose to walk by him? Does this make sense?
Never thought I'd see the day I'd be on the same page with Bow AND Reek
I guess anything goes in hell :wakemeupinsidebby:
You should care. It's about your black community and it's wrong.
The BIG picture is that you fools want to blame the white media for every fucking thing but can't even fix the problems in your own community. It's the reason why 5 black people can't come together to start a business because WE DON'T STICK TOGETHER. What don't you get?
:omgwatshappening:
I'm conflicted because I know some of them really did ignore them but also some of them were in a rush bc other outlets held them too long... But my biggest problem is why are all of them on the end, how is the order decided?

First off, he decides what his "job" entails, because he owns the company he represents on that carpet. So if he fails to d his "job" completely, that's a blow to his own company's bottom line - not Lil Nas X.
Does that make sense?

This thread's topic advertises a specific video.. a video that I'm not clapping for because it displays exclusion within itself. Now if we wanna talk about black media outlets being ignored in general and GODle making it a point to stop by, I think that deserves a different thread.
cccccccccccc
What's for breakfast?
:scrumptious:
Why are you trying to fatten me?
:ummwhat:
Gonna eat them anyway but jw.
I feel bad for these Black media outlets. I wish there was a way they could get the word out to the artist in a major way because I doubt they are purposely not speaking to Black outlets. Money, exposure, fame etc really rule the industry so I'm sure the bigger companies like People magazine, E! News etc can pay to get exclusive access to the artist and it's probably hard to fight that for a small blog/media company that needs whatever interviews they can get
this dude really shot himself in the foot by including the footage of him ignoring Nas X
all he had to do is TRY, or if he didn't wanna try he should've edited that out. I get a hotep/against the gay agenda vibe

Who would want to approach someone acting this way?
Not to mention his unprofessional look.

period. I made a thread on this but it kinda flopped
If you can make time to be on the res carpet, then you can make time for your own people

It's not that hard to do or grasp why it's important to do so. If your career is at a point where you gotta focus on the white media and getting on the bigger platform, clearly your reach ain't as impressive as you'd like it to be.
Halle Berry knows Access Hollywood ain't gonna do any more for her than these other black publications would :dead: Not in 2020. Speak to everyone or don't get on the carpet

Did this dude really come to the Grammys with an Adidas suit and French beret on yelling "come over here with the black people?" I wouldn't have stopped either. I don't think it's a black thing like they are trying to make it but more like unprofessional and not ready thing for journalism.
It's def a real thing. One that Halle is clearly tired of/not having
Halle specifically said "I can't pass up my brother and sister."
Put her slave chink in check, and walked over to let them interview her so they could continue to GROW their Black owned mess. Just as everyone else is there to do.

The person in the video IS the owner.

How can you expect others to be inclusive when you are not yourself? Nas is one o the biggest names in music rn, he was THE person to interview if no one else..
Did you not watch the video? He was yelling and screaming for other black artists to "cum heya" but let Nas walk pass because I'm assuming he was gay and didn't want to interview him.
Did you not read my comment? My question was for this particular reporter..
Sorry boo. It was for Fro instead.
Ohh, ok. :)

He IS the owner.
Well, a lil clip of Nas in clothes don't mean shit!
Here's a clip of him interviewing Daryl Stephens at a NAACP event.
Well...he just started and needed the exposure! Only reason he did that!
That interview is from 2011. He started his channel in 2006.
He's a nigger! :fuming:
:disgusted:
:scrumptious: :scrumptious: :scrumptious:
I'm sure his homophobia is the reason Gucci Mane and 'em passed up the interview.

nxxnxnxj Yh sorry a 10 sec shot of him on the red carpet isn't actually inclusion but
guys that's really not the point
The fact of the matter is, these artists
Ignore black media on the carpet alllllllll the time
There's no point in arguing about this specific guy
