The 2020 BET Awards went down virtually on Sunday night (June 28) and featured a roster of notable Hip Hop and R&B acts. From Public Enemy, Nas and Rapsody to Megan Thee Stallion, Summer Walker and Lil Wayne, the virtual stage lit up with a wide array of performances.
Meanwhile, Griselda was nominated in the Best Group category alongside Chloe X Halle, EarthGang, JACKBOYS, Migos and City Girls.
As the ceremony got underway, Griselda co-founder Westside Gunn appeared to take a shot at the Eminem-fronted label Shady Records.
“I wonder do @ShadyRecords know we’re nominated for a BET AWARD tonight.”
The Griselda crew, who has a distribution deal with the longstanding imprint, has been on a steady rise since stepping on the scene in 2014.
Formed by Westside and his brother Conway The Machine, Griselda’s core consists of the two brothers, their cousin Benny The Butcher and in-house producer Daringer. In 2017, Griselda inked the Shady distribution deal for Westside and Conway. Then last year, Westside and Benny signed a management deal with Roc Nation.
Review: Griselda's "WWCD" Is Harder Than Concrete Wrapped In Iron — Minus The Eminem Feature
The Buffalo, New York collective has released two proper projects, including the Don’t Get Scared Now EP in 2016 and their 2019 debut WWCD. Individually, Westside has dropped four albums — 2016’s FLYGOD, 2018’s Supreme Blientele, 2019’s FLYGOD IS AN AWESOME GOD and this year’s Pray For Paris.
Westside’s tweet to Shady Records alludes to some sort of personal frustration with the label. Neither Em or Shady Records co-founder Paul Rosenberg has responded to Westside’s tweet as of publication time.
Oh — and in terms of the BET Award, Griselda didn’t walk away with the honor. The Best Group award went to Migos.
Why wouldn’t he, let’s face it Shady Records is the graveyard of rap careers.
Hmm, and yet seems to make $$$, just sayin
Few artists are going platinum these days but Shady was a guarantee early times, if Slaughterhouse were there then, and added Proof (subtract D12), that shit would have been crazy. The other artists bar Obie and Boogie were never good enough IMO
Lmao he stilled do make money to this day so dont cap on Em or he’ll nail the last nail on your coffin
This clown needs a fuckin stylist. Then again maybe he got the shitty way of dressing up from Eminem.
Umm, he may but em dont
Em dressed like a normal human-being tf? If anything it’s better to look normal then to be flashy when the check dont compliment. Get ya money up before tryna be flashy till then yall normies.
Weakest link in the chain… Boom boom boom boom boom. Wasting the beats
Griselda should of won. The Migos fucking suck!!!!
Eminem will eat his ass no ho mo => WSG Aka Alvin the Canadian Chipmunk from Niagara Falls. AYO. AYO. AYO. BOOBOOBOO. BRRRR. DOOT DOOT DOOT.
What’s with all the fucking Canadian Griselda jokes have I missed something?
most likely because Buffalo (where they’re from) is basically next to Canada (the country).
His opinion don’t matter, he’s straight up garbage juice, Disney ass nigga voice with pre school bars, ayo ayo ayo TRASH
He’s the only one in Griselda I don’t like.
He does sound like a Disney character ?
This isn’t the first time Shady have dropped the ball
Obie
Stat Quo
Slaughterhouse
Cashis, Bobby Creekwater
Cashis and Creek were ass, agree with original post tho
Yelawolf, Trick Trick. .
Shady recs would be a dope label if it wasnt paired with interscope
Let’s go back to his first interview after Bang dropped. He said he didn’t need Shady or anyone for success because he already had the fan base. Being with Shady would have just helped but not necessary.
Well, maybe Shady remembered you didn’t need him.
Not really understanding what his issue is? They’re putting out the music they want to make, they have a fanbase and Shady Records don’t interfere with their music. It’s a strange withing to say but if their is an issue, keep it in house. Going public on social media with crptic back handed remarks are the epitome of stupidity.
More silly not needed shots again. I get bored of these men child’s taking pointless shots. Hip hop and some of its artists need to grow up.
Eminem is garbage now. Any one who listens to that is wasting there time. He had had moment. He is cemented as top 10 of his era but it’s boring now. Move on
Yeah because the shit that’s out now is so Poppin with some of their non lyrical bullshit ass lyrics. Clown ass bitches.
Eminem is not garbage. He is fighting the people that think like you. Eminem has been more than you will ever know and dosent hate on everything on the comments.
Move on to what? Everything is dumbed down to make the culture even more controllable nothing but garbage now
Look all the goofy ass comments… If your distribution label wasn’t in tune with what you were doing and the accolades you were gaining, would you NOT say anything and brush it off. If your answer to that is yes, then you you a dumb a** and I’m sure people would love to do business with you so they can take advantage of you. You can tell who types based off their emotions like a b!tch here. smh
Why on twitter and not personally tho?
Biting the hand that feeds you? Never a good look in the music industry. No other company that Big was lining up to sign them
Well considering Westside and Benny being signed to Roc Nation…yeah nobody checkin for these guys
yea not gonna lie they woulda blown up anyways. But no doubt eminem deserves respect for helping them before they were really own. If it weren’t for him they might not be at the BET awards for a couple years (not that the bet awards are a big deal).
Isn’t Conway supposed to be releasing a Shady album soon?
Too grimy too win awards…be real
They should of NEVER SIGNED with EM !!! They was good with the Roc Marci co-sign…..Em was the leader of the vultures. I remember Em when he was running with the OutSiderz from NJ….Lets be real ” HI my name is ” was WACK!!!
It was never meant to be a ‘fire’ song in the first place. It was regarding who he is and why hes doing and saying what he wants. If you listened closely to every interview there was no intent on making catchy tunes. He did to tell everybody hey my name is Slim Shady and if you dont like me well…..you know
You are so uneducated man. They aren’t even technically signed to shady they just have a distribution deal, meaning some of there albums are released under the shady label. The even said straight up they made their shady album in a few days uninterrupted and were aloud to whatever they wanted with no label influence. Eminem literal helped these guys blow up and barely gets the credit or revenue you should be thanking him.
Tbh they never needed Eminem. They would’ve been eating regardless minus a few dickriders that only paid attention when they signed…plus he more concerned wit Joyner lucas then his own acts anyway…
Maybe they don’t need him now but Em helped put them on at the beginning. Got them slots at festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo and is the reason a lot of people found out about them. Times change and artists outgrow their situation. Roc nation recently got involved in managing some of them. If they leave now, they will be fine.
Did it ever occur that eminem.. probley gets very little to any control of “his” rap label
Damn i see haters on here yall dumb as fuck hating on eminem don’t be mad cause he the best rapper and yall not stfu u little bitches
But he can’t run a label cuz he’s a fuc*-up.
Yall some ignorant clout chasin morons. Dont say anything you wouldn’t say to Em or Westside Gunn’s face. Em is a good well known artist who does his own thing to keep himself occupied and to keep food on the table. Same for Gunn, the only people that should say anything and have actual grown conversations are the guys that know what they’re talking about. So for yall kids, yes yall some kids. Dont ride if all you gonna do is be 2 faced.
If i was Gunn, i wouldn’t trip. NIGGA, look WHO WON. The Trash Ass Migos. The BET Hip Hop Awards arent what they used to be, neither are these “hip hop” acts. We need something separate from this clown shit, because Migos, Trippie Dead, 21 Sewage, Lol Yachty, and the rest of these trash rappers ain’t hip hop. Quit confusing the real with these clowns. Griselda hit different from this Shit
This wasn’t the BET Hip-Hop Awards, just the BET Awards.
Dont Matter. Their ass is TRASH too. All garbage can
Fuck eminem slayed you pee shooter Kelly so just sit down and take it like the bitch you are. If it wasn’t for eminem where would you be?
Migos won? Gtfoh … Shame shame shame
Em just created Shady Records just because “big artists are supposed to have a label of their own,” cuz Em don’t know sh!t about it and Paul is a bum. Shady Records has to be the worst “major” label of all time. Remember Boogie? lol. Joe Budden was right, Em DRiders. Coming from an Em fan. Eminem has to take it down or just put time on it for change. Otherwise, I hope those signees just get outta there.
Y’all are all on nonsense arguing on the internet. If you don’t like Eminem and what he has contributed that’s all you, if your a Stan that’s all you. But y’all all morons for arguing on the internet.
Why you on the internet looking for attention? You wanne see tits and ass? The new 69 video got Minaj in it! Just put it on mute and ignor that 69 idiot! Agaath again agaaaaaaaath
There’s 2 sides to everything, I see both perspectives. I’m a fan of both em and gunn. All due respect to the flygod but he doesn’t show much “extra love” to shady records either he signed with roc nation For some side deal or something at the same time, I don’t get all the specifics and I don’t care too I know what’s up tho. Rigged ass awards is the bottom line for me, real Griselda and em fans like me KNEW the best group Griselda would be robbed at the mtv awards ooops isn’t that who owns bet. That’s what I heard anyway could be wrong. Peace
Damn, if you go to the official website of shady records they even put the album if the shady discography, something mus happened.
Wow your right. Wonder what Eminem gonna say about it
love is a two-way street…show your label some love and I’m sure they’ll show you some love… all I see Griselda wearing are Roc Nation hats…..that’s their management team, not label. ALSO, let’s be honest, the last few releases haven’t lived up to expectations. Who does that fall on Shady Records or the Griselda honcho who was crying a few months ago talkin bout no one was showing his project love…..DO BETTER THEN
Griselda is already done, there fucking stupid, they could be em and d12, 50 & gunit, Kendrick and Tde, wtf idiot!!!! Fucking west coast gun shit dum ass fuck fuck fuck! Loser!!!!!
Not gonna read through every comment but none of you seem to know what a distribution deal is. A record deal includes marketing and promotion a distribution deal does not.
