Just weeks after YG said his Grammy snub felt like a “slap in the face,” fans of the My Krazy Life rapper took to downtown Los Angeles yesterday (January 3) to protest his debut album not being included in the Best Rap Album category at the upcoming 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
YG acknowledged the support on Twitter but claimed he wasn’t involved with the protest that took place outside the Grammy Museum.
Check out pictures of the protesters below, many of which were young children holding signs with captions like”#bicketing” and “Honk For YG.”
In December, YG stopped by Power 106 Los Angeles and spoke about the Best Rap Album category himself.
“Some of them albums is wack,” he said at the time. “My album is better than them albums. I feel like, how y’all—I already knew I wasn’t gonna win a Grammy. I’m like, ‘They not gon’ give me a Grammy but they gon’ nominate me for sure.’ It was just, when I seen some of them albums on there, it was like, I didn’t really get it. I really feel some type of way. I know it got something to do with me being from the streets and representing what I represent and talking about what I talk about on these records.”
Returning to the music, YG simply said, “My album is better than half of them albums on there. I’m not knocking nobody…I came up with Iggy. I know Iggy. ScHoolboy, all them. I’m rocking with them. I already knew they was gonna get nominated.”
In addition to Iggy Azalea and ScHoolboy Q, nominees for the Best Rap Album category at this year’s Grammy ceremony include: Childish Gambino, Common, Eminem, and Wiz Khalifa.
the real question is where are these kids parents and why are they letting them protest.. his protesters are all under 12
Too right. How many of them are there too, a dozen at most. The free Gucci sign just tops it off.
I wonder if that white kid knows “My Nigga” word for word? Does he say nigga? We need to jump his ass pronto
Fucked up future generation.
Nice work black man. Keep it up.
This album was not that good!!! I dont get it!
WHAT THE FUCK , YG WIN A GRAMMY ? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE . THIS IS CORNY AS FUCK . HE GOT LITTLE MEXICAN KIDS WITH SIGNS . RAPPERS THESE DAYS ARE CORNY
and youre a jealous bum still sitting on your ass at home asking your gramma to cook somethin
^ Do you happen to be that kid in the third picture?
them fans on bath salt
lol all 10 year old children are yG fans. They should be a school instead of protesting for a average gangsta rapper
at school on da weekend? that shit looks hilarious though i wonder where they parents at
But iggy deserves to be recognized for making mediocre music that soccer moms bunked on the way to work in the morning….
So now we know what YG’s fanbase consists of..
I can’t name 1 song I liked off Y.G.’s album. At least it has something in common with Common, Wiz Khalifa, Iggy Azalea and Donald Glover’s albums. People should be protesting for Rick Ross, Jeezy, Game and T.I. if anything.
People should be protesting for Game? You mean that horrible compilation album he stopped promoting after less than a month? year of the wolf shoulda been called week of the wolf since thats how long it was on the charts for.
still a better album then that dj mustard shit sounding all the same songs
LMAO his diehard fans still wearing pullups
this cant be life. they really got a 6 year old holding a FREE GUCCI sign…
yeah whites used to hate a little more back in the day. but black people used to have so much dignity and self respect. nobody needed a white man to respect them. and now look at what happened
i completely agree
looks like a day care class on a field trip
Dude album was trash. face it.
What a freaking waste of time. No offense to YG, but some people will protest for any pointless thing.
@VAMP SODA, ur statement abt Game – year of the wolf album its straight up HATE, so u saying songs like “Bigger than me”, “FUN”, “Married to the Game”, “The Purge”, “Trouble in my mind”, “Cellphone”, “Or Nah ft. Tooo Short”, “Hit Em Hard ft. Bobby Shmurda” r whack? Game his lyrical idiot,his got more 2 say than average rapper,dumb fuck,give him any beat south or new york type a beat he will kill dat shit..Game his a monster, go do ur research b4 u start opening ur mouth (or typing) Lol
Year of the Wolf had a few good songs, but overall, it was terrible. Get over it.
yes Or Nah was definitely wack. I listen to him but to say someone should be protesting for that album to be grammy nominated is funny to me.
MKL was definately in the TOP 10 best..hell his album was way better than IGGY(who is really a HIP/POP artist)….but I would never say it was a CLASSIC album like KENDRICK LAMAR’s GK,MC..GK,MC was a major “snub”..#FUCK THE GRAMMYS….i’m not watching that show
yg album is garbage. the nigga isn’t that good. a few people did get snubbed. mastermind should have been on there. jeezy should have def been on there. that wiz album was wack. schoolboy q album was ok at best. iggy is an ok pop album. glover shit was kind of dope. common has the best album out of the whole list. em had some dope tracks but overall a wack album. yg think he is better that what he is. nigga need to stay in his lane and accept that he will never be an elite rapper. and all of you stans. go jump off a bridge.
The irony of a Free Gucci poster in a protest for a CTE artist. Also YG is garabge and needs to STFU.
