I'm sorry, but these nominations are a direct response to the backlash from the Lemonade loss.
After Lemonade loss, there were articles that GRAMMY producers & execs were scrambling. On top of artists like Frank Ocean, Drake & Kendrick blasting them last year.
Now, Kendrick, Jay AND Childih Gambino in AOTY? LMFAO!
They did implement online voting this year, and maybe that made a difference. Their answer to the "out of touch"/"white washed" backlash was making the voting process inclusive by getting rid of the old mail-in paper ballots. Cause ya'll know black people ain't doing all that!
I am SHOCKED!
Lil Uzi Vert in BNA?
And absolutely no one pegged 4:44 in AOTY.
Surprising noms! And I haven't even gotten past General yet!
