After last week’s announcement of the nominees for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, Chicago rapper Kanye West took it upon himself to share his thoughts on the list of nominees during his “Yeezus Tour” stop in Phoenix, Arizona yesterday (December 10).
Clad in his signature Margiela mask, Kanye seemed less than pleased with his two Grammy nominations, which included nods for Best Rap Album (Yeezus) and Best Rap Song (“New Slaves”). He also drew attention to the fact that he has a total of 21 Grammys to his name, but has never won a Grammy when faced against a white artist.
“They try to trivialize my words and try to make it seem like my importance as a musician is less important than what it is,” ‘Ye said. “I mean, we can even take a look at some recent nominations that came out. Now I’m 36-years-old and I have 21 Grammys. That’s the most Grammys of any 36-year-old. Out of all those 21 Grammys, I’ve never won a Grammy against a white artist.”
Following comparisons to Michael Jackson and the late singer’s struggle to break into the mainstream, Kanye said, “fuck those nominations,” in regards to his Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song nominations.
“So, when the Grammy nominations come out and Yeezus is the Top 1 or 2 albums on every single list, but only gets two nominations from the Grammys,” said the rapper. “What are they trying to say? Do they think that I wouldn’t notice? Do they think that some way that I don’t have the power to completely diminish all of their credibility at this moment…People come to me and they congratulate me on those two nominations. Fuck those nominations.”
Joining Kanye in the Best Rap Album category are Drake (Nothing Was The Same), Kendrick Lamar (good kid, m.A.A.d city), Jay Z (Magna Carta Holy Grail) and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (The Heist). In addition to Kanye’s “New Slaves,” other songs nominated for Best Rap Song include A$AP Rocky’s “F***in’ Problems,” Jay-Z’s “Holy Grail,” Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis “Thrift Shop.”
Kanye is currently in the process of winding down his “Yeezus Tour,” which is scheduled to make stops in Anaheim, California; Detroit; Chicago; and other cities before the end of the year.
Video from Kanye’s tour stop in Phoenix can be found below (via 2DopeBoyz).

and i doubt thats gunna change this time around either. macklemore will probably win. but even if macklemore wasn’t nominated i would be surprised if yeezy won, yeezus aint as good as GKMC or NWTS
GKMC came out last year. NWTS is not as good as Yeezus. Wow. Shibe.
GKMC is still nominated for the grammy though, and its just my personal opinion. NWTS just seems more focused , with better production and lyrics. Drake i think did a better job portraying a picture for his album then kanye did for his.
GKMD came out in DECEMBER last year so it qualifies for this Grammy session. It’s the same way that Gucci Mane’s album on Christmas day will be able to win ‘Best rap album’ at the grammys next year (joking)
GKMC came out in OCTOBER last year but it still qualifies
this faggot has top 10 most grammys of all time and more then Ray Charles yet he still has something to bitch about
He speaks his mind and we love that about him.
@Anonymous no, we don’t..
@Anonymous
Yeah we do.
Winning a Grammy just ain’t enough for this nigga. He’s got to make sure it’s won over a white artist…I’m starting to think this dude is racist
Kanye wakes up to a white bitch every morning so I doubt whites could effectively label him a Hitler.
She’s not white you thick fuck. She’s armenian.
The bitch got white skin so she is either a Caaucasoid/Caucasian or an albino, the bitch actually got ass so I know she ain’t 100% Caucacus cave-woman but the the world classifies the bitch as white.
She doesn’t have white skin. She’s darker than Drake or Ice T or Ebro. Armenian = middle eastern. Would you call an Iranian white??
1st Anonymous is the typical ignorant nig.
play the race card for sucking ass. lmao
Whites invented the Race-Card shortly after they invented racism.
^ too funny
The only one sucking ass is you. Faggot.
plenty of white artists have never won a Grammy
Kayne West is staring to sound like Bruthadee in the comments.
Kanye’s grammy win in 2005. Best Rap Album [ The College Dropout ]. One of the nominees… The Beastie Boys – To The 5 Buroughs.
Done.
ether
He said Artist not group you dumb fuck.
whats the fucking difference
and he beat eminem in 2006
You’re still a moron. Late Registration beat out Encore for Best Rap Album.
I could be wrong… and I may be reaching here… and I may be reading too much into it… but I’m starting to think Kanye may have a slight issue with white people.
Well, as a white person, I can safely say NOT A SINGLE FUCK IS GIVEN.
did that need to be said?We know that white people care about NOTHING out side of white people…so point taken.
I might be wrong…but I might be right…in saying that I’m a fag…
white dude
KING KENDRICK!
LOL!!! Apparently me not giving a fuck about a racist has hit some nerves.
These responses = the hypocritical way many black people perceive racism.
Cry more bitches…
2005 Best Rap Album against the beastie boys
2006 best rap album against eminem
seriously, though
i wonder when all u stupid retarded niggas gonna get tired of him whining and bitching about everything and acting like hes GOD n shit
When you get tired of bitching about him bitching about how he’s God n shit.
theres been more oriental slaves than african slaves… orientals are still slaves today. yet you dont hear htem crying about every little fucking thing. you have these young black ppl cyring about racisim and saying they are slaves. gtfo of ehre and stop being a cry baby bitch
i dont think i ever heard more then 5 songs from his catalog: Gold Digger, Cant live my life feat Dilated Peoples, Forever, Nigas in Paris and Power…this dude is JUST WACK to me son…WACK i tell u…i cant understand what the fuck do fans see in him
you must be hella sheltered. shit i be hearing his songs even when i dont want to
You have to be an idiot to label an artist whack after hearing only 5 songs
Safe to say you’re a faggot. Get out of your house, get some color going for your skin by seeing the sun, go to a music shop, and buy some fucking music. You stupid bitch. Labeling a great artist “wack”, but hasn’t listened to more than 5 songs? Haha what a dumbfuck.
people still don’t understand white people are the only ones who can be racist is white people everyone else is prejudice. racism comes from a position of power and despite what people think kanye is still a minority. he is only overstating the obvious and people still do not see what he is talking about
White racism is the only racism.
Everywhere they go on the planet they bring race-hatred, they take great pride in trying to destroy other cultures like the Herrero, the Native Americans, the Tasmanians and every other culture they come in contact with. It’s simply in their nature.
If a Black person were to be “prejudiced” (Pre-judge) it would be very wise because based on history white people have been the #1 outside enemy of Black people, these people stripped us of our Gods, our names, our language, our folkways, our mores, and our norms and then raped us, mutilated us, lynched us, burned us and dehumanized us for hundreds of years.
Based on that alone I will Pre-judge them the same way I would Pre-judge a venomous snake or a wild boar, I won’t allow my natural enemy to lull me to sleep and then attempt to destroy me.
theres no way this BruthaDee guy has a job
HAHaHhhaHah!! I fuckin love this dudes post!! Every time he drops some Ether some ButtHurt pussy comes behind him and lets him know his feelings got hurt! BruthaDee for president! Keep pissing off the fanboys and oh yeah my Twitter is @CsmFlight.
yall fag boys need to get a room no one cares about your twitters fucking homo thugs
Haha measly troll guy is pissed because he dont have a Twitter so he has to log on to HpHopDx!!
haHaHaHaHa,!!
fuck this nigga and his confederate flags
damn… kanye looks like a little racist
Eminem is a rapper that many people have said been a pure product of white privilege but he’s never won album of the year.
Then Black artists like Outkast and Lauryn Hill have won AOTY though….
Either way Ye’s statement doesn’t really make sense no matter what angle you look at it from. He’s just butthurt!
why will em win album of the year. he hasn’t made an album with good snuff beats to win.
never said he would win. i said just cause you’re white doesnt make you win! Eminem never won album of the year and Outkast did.
@Anonymous #2
He’s referring to when the MMLP didn’t win Album of the Year but some bullshit, half-assed release from “Steely Dan” won.
Nicca got like 21 Grammys and called his team the Grammy family and he crying about losing to some white artists who put out better albums than him LOLOLOL
Kanye is the “glass is half empty” type of dude. lol
I missed the part where he was crying, he simply stated facts and said that he has 21 Grammys but has never won one over a white artist which is damn near amazing if you ask me.
Sadly the most sickening of this years Grammy outside of the homo-hop nominee is the fact that they injected a white artist in every single rap category……they want to white wash the culture so bad.
its not even true though. he has beat out both the Beastie Boys and Eminem to win 2 of those Grammys
Im so tired of this dude. Every time I wake up, he’s up in my face. Don’t you have a wedding to plan? Geez
for real
He’s in your face because you come to this site, dipshit. This site posts two to three articles a day about him. It’s not his fault that this site wants hits and comments from every fucking “controversial” quote he says. If you’re going to blame anybody, blame this bitch, Danielle Harling.
Fuck you say about me you lil fuck nigga?? Bitch I was writin before yo ass was suckin on yo mama’s titties so have a seat before I shove my pen up yo cornhole faggot!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it seems like Marcus K. Dowling killed Danielle Harling and is now assuming her identity. Either that or she’s a dumb bitch. Either one works. Haha what a slut, I bet her asshole is the size of Shaq’s fist.
Never Won A Grammy Against A White Artist.
Never will!!
Why the hell would Kanye West expect whites to give him an award over their own? Is he stupid?
until I looked at the paycheck that said $5639, I did not believe that…my… mother in law woz realey erning money in there spare time from their computer.. there aunts neighbour has done this for only about 6 months and resently cleard the mortgage on there cottage and got a great Mercedes-Benz S-class. More Info… http://www.Fb39.com
hey said it sold 701k copies this week. Don’t be mad just because she’s more talented than you will ever be.
Kanye shouldn’t have a single nomination. Only reason he got good reviews is because they were trying to cater to the hipsters. The album was the worst album I’ve ever heard in my life.
Then you haven’t heard a lot of music. I feel sorry for you.
thats true. when the weakest eminem albums and singles like just lose it and the relapse win grammies you begin to wonder on what basis the awards are handed out.
Kanye beat eminem for rap album of the year in like 06
but seriously relapse and recovery didn’t deserve grammy and kanye’s mbdtf deserved album of the year and wasn’t even nominated.
they give grammy’s to best sellers thats why mos def’s ecstatic lost to eminem
Kanye’s Late Registration won Best Rap Album over Eminem’s Encore, and Kanye’s Gold Digger won Best Rap Solo Performance over Em’s Mockingbird.
Wait did Just Lose It win a grammy??????
The grammys are racist, Macklemore is a one hit wonder yet you have artists with deep deep discography, cultural influence, relevance, respect, critical acclaim, top selling albums and they never get any respect, they should call it the KKKrammy Awards.
they dont give out grammys based on deep discographies and respect…
lots of one hit wonders win grammys every year. thats how its always been. that Gotye guy won a few last year i think and i never heard another song
“Macklemore is a one hit wonder”
Try 4 hits.
“that Gotye guy won a few last year i think and i never heard another song”
idiot. check his discography. he’s just only had one hit in the states. many in Australia.

MUTHAFUCK YOU FOR CENSORIN’ MY COMMENTS!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Alright, so what if you met a white person who agrees entirely that institutionalized racism exists and that minorities deserve chances to gain positions of power in our society? If you meet a white person who agrees that the system is fucked up, and he wants to help, what’s your reaction?
You’re making some pretty broad statements about a group of people when you say they’re all as sophisticated as animals, although I don’t blame you because white people, throughout history, have been involved with some of the worst events. But that doesn’t make all people who you identify as white bad people.
oh my god kanye 21 grammys still bitching shut the fuck up
So College Dropout won over the Beastie Boys for Best Rap Album in 2005.
Late Registration won over Eminem for Best Rap Album in 2006.
Gold Digger won Best Rap Solo Performance over Eminem’s Mockingbird in 2006, too.
Kanye has won against white Hip-Hop artists. However, I think he’s more upset over awards like Record of the Year, Best New Artist, and most importantly, Album of the Year.
A pure Hip-Hop album has never won. Outkast won because of Hey Ya winning over pop audiences. Lauryn Hill’s album was more RnB than Hip-Hop. Kanye should have won Album of the Year when My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was nominated. But he’s personalized a prejuice that goes beyond just him as an artist. The Grammys don’t respect Hip-Hop.
If The Heist wins any major awards over GKMC, then there should be some serious eyebrows raised.
the heist was a much bigger album globally. americans dont understand that.
But the Grammys are based in America. The Heist was not as critically acclaimed of an album as GKMC for good reason too. The stories, beats, and performances in general are superior on GKMC. Also, The Heist is essentially Hip-Pop with its style. Don’t condescend when you’re not going to put up much for an argument.
everybody seen ya girls box nigga, stfu!
Arcade Fire is more talented than you Kanye, and they make better music. Get over it
But the year Arcade Fire beat out Kanye, who’s album had greater critical acclaim? Sales? Relevance to Pop Culture? It was all Kanye that year, but the Grammys refuse to let an outright Hip-Hop album win Album of the Year.
Outkast won
The Suburbs was also highly critically acclaimed! Both albums were.
@Anon…Outkast’s album won because of The Love Below, don’t kid yourself into thinking that Hey Ya’s crossover success didn’t win people over.
@Drizzy I know it was well-received, but Kanye’s work was just bigger and better that year, across the board.
Arcade Fire won in 2011 album of the year. Kanye had no album in that year (MBDTF was released in november 2010, so was elegible for 2012 grammys)
This video is not that great he says better stuff here..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHHliodwGr4
Awesome vid, Idk why they call them rants do.. he is speaking to his people.
They should just give him all the Grammy’s. So he can shut the hell up.
he won against Eminem’s Encore
That’s the same thing I was saying so what is he talking about? I mean I guess he is trying to sale an image.
Man Kanye….please STFU….you sound like a bitch! How many artists would actually grateful to have 21 Grammys? God blessed you bruh, appreciate what you have!
uve never beaten a white artist bcuz the only white artist youve ever gone against is eminem and you aint half of eminem.
Kanye’s best albums are way better than Eminem’s, hop off his pasty dick.
@drake ; joke of the year
why are black artist allowed to say crack@ but white artist can’t say nigg#?
The same reason why you can walk into a store and purchase a box of crackkkers you stupid white bitch
bcuz crack@ doesnt mean shit to us. im white. it never meant “to own someone” and represented years of oppression like the other word.
Biggest racists in hip-hop
1. Eminem
2. Yelawolf
3. Machine Gun Kelly
4. Lord Jamar
5. A tie between Kanye West & Action Bronson
#BGS2014 #Eminemisthewhitedevil
#BGS2014 REPPIN IT!!
Wrong.
Lord Jamar, Scarface and Ice Cube are the most racist rappers.
this nigga is SO conceited he got the nerve to say “fuck these grammy nominations” just cause he won 21
somebody please give him what he wants and blacklist him out of the shit. obviously they won’t cause he makes headlines
#Dilusional #Racist #Kanyewestistheblackdevil
#FUCKFAME #RULEYORK #KINGOFNY #RULETALK #JARULEARMY2013
this auto-tune faggot. he makes music for teenage bitches and androgynous man fans
It’s kind of like the joke has just run its course now and everybody is getting bored.
na just dumb fucks who had no business in the first place are finally leaving the conversation to adults.
Grammies have always been money based, who gives a fuck nigga????? Let the music speak for itself
Kanye just mad because he wants to be a part of the billionaire’s club that he can’t reach yet. Nike only thinks of him as another celebrity endorsement deal, and I can respect that he wants to go beyond that. However, the truth is that your favorite rapper knows that the 1% runs this fucking nation and he just wants a piece of that action. He’s a “revolutionary” only for himself and he’s trying to protect his “family” in this manner since the only true freedom you’ll ever have is if you join the club with Bill Gates and what not. I give props to him because he’s smart enough to figure that out and truth be told, little to no blacks have that position of power. However, if he receives what he wants, then what you’ll see is him having an impact on our consumerism like Steve Jobs and the Iphone. He’ll set new trends and whatnot, but in the end this will do nothing alleviate the world’s problems, except give us new shit to purchase. The world needs saving, not more billionaires.
Why does Yeezy care so much about being accepted by white people? He wants the white mans Grammy and wants to be apart of the white European fashion industry! In 10 years he gonna be white like Michael Jackson!
LIES! Late Registration won over Eminem’s Encore…as of 12/11/13 7:58 pm Eminem is STILL White. So, ‘Ye, lie detector confirms that was a LIE. and BTW Yeezus was a good album, but had zero replay value. #aint no struggling no negro wanna hear you sing about your rich negro problems
AMEN!
Not trying to side with Kanye, but he simply is a man who has endless ambition. While this is probably in his own mind, he feels he is at a point where he wants his competition to be everyone, and wants accolade for winning against anyone in different categories. Not just win in the same two categories against other black artist over and over again. He wants and expects more from everyone.
Kayne is a racist piece of shittttttttttttttttt!!! We came a far way as musicians, artists, and people it’s time to drop the color bullshit
I’m black and even I will say this guy is fucking Racist. Stop making black people look bad damnnn
I’m white and I agree. Hey look at that Kanye West’s racist rants can bring white and black people together.
late registration won over Encore in 05 so bullshit
I understand your sarcasm, encore was fucking terrible, anybody could have won
I’m white and I’ve never won the NBA championship this shit is racist!
That would have been more effective if you chose an award (where votes determine the outcome) vs. a championship that is one purely on merit. And even more effective if you could demonstrate that you have 6 critically acclaimed albums that sold millions of records…..
stop being racist
I just saw a preview and it looks like the white boys at South Park are gonna ether Kanye they gay fish on tonights season finale!
I’ve gotta say the guy has a point and that most black people have become numb…. to the facts.. that on the news only blacks are depicted as those needing government assistance and criminals and the least qualified for a REAL job. NOt just rappers and athletes…we NUMB. The fact of the matter is this…when I sit in a corporate conference room…a corporate conference…when I’m recruiting for talent for that corporation…. I don’t see black people represented in numbers… and do you know why????
because they’re all uneducated and on goverment assistance or in jail from doing crime
Lol because not everyone wants a corporate job? ^Word tho
This is the Kanye we love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHHliodwGr4
i love kanye hes a genius but eminem is a much better artist in pretty much every area of the game, this is coming from a black man, not that that matters but yall muthafuckers are some racist bitchs
Eminem can rap better, that’s it. In terms of originality, making cohesive classic albums and production…Kanye kills Eminem. We ain’t talking rap battles nigga.
@Drake Til Infinity
Nigga, your name is Drake Til Infinity,that about sums up your rap clout. Soft ass hushpuppy lol
Eminem is nowhere near the better artist, Em is the better rapper by far. Kanye is arguably the best hip hop artist of all time, name another rapper aside from Ye who has 4 (arguably) classic albums. CD, Late Registration, Graduation, MBDTF, they’re some of the best hip hop albums of all time and they all sound completely different. Kanye constantly changes his style and innovates, that’s what great artists do. For all of Eminem’s lyrical skill, most of his albums have covered the same topics. For 5 straight albums, Eminem’s first singles sounded exactly alike. on top of that, his production has been severely lacking on his past two albums. Kanye almost never repeats himself.
nigga i dont give a fuck if he wrote the same song 5 times he wrote it better and better except encore and relapse which were both wack. without me > real slim shady (but more iconic) > my name is. all classics and we want more.
niga have u bnever had a song u wanted to lsiten to 5 times but with diff words and slightly diff music>? shit i put all his singles in a playlist, do a line of blow, and just generally wild the fuck out to em
i miss humble kanye….
Just because something happened, or in this case didn’t, doesn’t mean it’s news.
But the DJ named Glove, has reigned supreme as the turntable wizard of the Hip Hop scene. So listen to him, check him out, but remember this: when the Glove’s on the wheels of steel, he’s RECKLESS!!!
No, Kanye, you haven’t wont a Grammy because you say stupid shit like this which makes people not like you.
damn straight,that dark ass chimp nose doesn’t help his cause either
When were the Grammy’s supposed to be a fucking popularity contest? I thought this was about the merit’s of the music. If it’s truly supposed to be about that, then Yeezus got snubbed.
And are we going to sit here and act like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy didn’t get snubbed either?
What I learn most about white people from reading these mostly white comments, is that they have a massive superiority complex. They’re very self righteous and think they’re somehow “above” the things a lot of ‘black people’ choose to rap about. “How dare they talk about the struggles they had to deal with at the hands of white people, how dare they rap from the perspective a person from a white created ghetto, how dare they rap about having a better life after being deprived of anything and everything their whole lives. They should act like hipsters or pick up a dictionary and use big words to impress us. We control this shit and we should dictate what they do, even though they invented and we’re just guests” lol That’s what you guys sound like to me.
White people have forgotten that they’re just guests in our house. They have gotten WAAYYYY to bold and comfortable with this shit, look at these comments. They’re no longer just buying rappers music for what it is, or accepting it… They actually think they can control it. They feel entitled to our music, as if it’s the natural order of the world for them to take what we have. It’s kind of unbelievable to me. It’s articles like this that remind me why I don’t have any white friends………
i’m purple and i agree
You are the reason racism exists.
” It’s articles like this that remind me why I don’t have any white friends…”
@That Crip in His Basement No,it’s your savage behavior, complete lack of regard for civilized society, primate-like facial characteristics (including big lips,flaring nostrils fur,etc.) and victim complex which cause you not to have any white friends. Stop lying to yourself like it’s a self conscious decision you’ve somehow made not to have white friends. No,the TRUTH is,you desperately WISH to have white friends to boost your self esteem,which after many attempts to conform to society has gotten you NOWHERE. Read a book and stop trying to blame people for your shitty situation. If rap music is your people’s last symbol of pride,that says a whole lot about the state of your people. Stop trying to act like you started this when you personally didn’t start anything. The only thing your family pioneered was new methods of smoking crack cocaine and frying chicken, no pun intended. Holla back!
You are also a racist.
Complaining about race while using pronouns like “they”, “our”, “your” totally contradicts your whole argument. MUSIC DOES NOT HAVE RACE. YOU CANNOT CLAIM THAT ART BELONGS TO A CERTAIN COLOR OF PERSON. HIP HOP IS COLORLESS. Generalizing a whole population of “white people” as “guests in your house” is extremely ignorant and is actually one of the things that keeps racism alive. You have no white friends because you have this idea that ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL, and rich and greedy and disrespectful. and YES white people feel entitled to Hip Hop because its FUCKING MUSIC. ANYONE is entitled to enjoy ANYTHING in this world that brings them emotion. COLOR IS NOTHING. Take off your racism lens and see the world for what it is and not what you’re told it is. If you continue to see people as white or black they’re going to continue to see you the same way… GOOD DAY SIR
…and to claim something is yours just because you discovered/created it, such as you’re doing with hip hop is ridiculous and childish. It’s also the premise which racism is founded upon. “They aren’t entitled to be here, this is our country.” “They can’t use our schools, we made those!” “You can’t be entitled to our music, we made that!”
ITS ALL THE SAME.
People just don’t get it… if you stop seeing race/color. It will stop seeing you.
i guess you’re gonna stay in the basement. lol
I didn’t know white people had self-righteousness encrypted in their DNA… sounds like a fucking stereotype to me. So… who’s the racist again?
yawn
You’ve never won a grammy on a tuesday with an Asian hosting the show on a year that is divisible by 3. What is the fucking point here?
This fucking guy mane. Kendrick lamar Is going to win album of the year. And knowing kanye, he’s Gon be pist. Might interrupt Kendrick’s speech. “Yeezus was better than GKMC!” Hahaha fucken clown.
Daft punk deserve AOTY over kendrick!!
Shut up faggot. He congratulated Kendrick at one of the Yeezus tour stops…because you know Kendrick is touring with him. He also congratulated Daft Punk. You’re just a hating ass faggot, who has apparently been locked in a room with no internet for the past couple of months.
Kanye beat Eminem’s Encore back when College Dropout won it’s grammy.
that’s when kanye took the torch from em and hes been running with it ever since
You mean he’s been running LEAPS and BOUNDs ever since!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!!!!
Counting down the days til he says something dumb enough to lose his precious adidas deal
When someone that never says anything decides to speak up, people listen. When someone that is constantly screaming, he/she eventually gets tuned out.
Now when i stumble across a Kanye interview, I don’t even bother.
And no, I did not read the article above.
who give a fuck about you? enough people read it and agreed enough to dump you off as a sore loser.
kanye west is the sore loser
please say something with substance. or else those who listened will stop listening.
no ones gone stomp listen LOL!!!! just your broke ass.
MUCH RESPECT FOR KANYE!!!!!!
white, black, asian no one cares, Kanye. Nobody cares for grammy too. Better look at your music.
guy in backgrounds looking AT KENYES ASS
Any one feeling any white guilt yet?
I’ll never win Grammy ;(
Black people used to face oppression with dignity. Now they just face non-oppression with no dignity.
He’s right, fuck those nominations, including his own.
Kanye is looking for sympathy for all the wrong reasons, in all the wrong places. You from Chicago, Ye. Last year, your city became the #1 murder capital with 500 homicides. You got power and a voice, and you wanna complain about losing grammys to fucking white people? What about in 06 when ‘Late Registration’ won ‘Best Rap Album’ beating out Eminem’s nomination for ‘Encore’? South Park needs to make another Episode about this Gay Fish.
“South Park needs to make another Episode about this Gay Fish.”
DUDE THEY DID LAST NIGHT!!! THEY ETHERED HIS BITCH TOO!!! CALLED HER A FUCKING HOBBIT CAUSE SHES SHORT FAT AND HAIRY AND ONLY LOOKS GOOD CAUSE OF PHOTOSHOP
This dude is a racist asshole
Yo…. I’m the biggest Kanye fan I know…. But this shit pretty stupid…. He has 21 Grammy awards ! Why is he complaining? He should bring back the quality in his message. He’s speaking about shit that we don’t give a fuck about…. Ive seen every Kanye concert in Houston. However, I decided to skip this Yeezus tour purposely…. He has a voice , he should speak to more important issues , like the dangers of the enter inner Chicago …. Come on Ye.
Maybe white artist are better then you! Are you shocked? Since you called yourself the best musian of all times? Dumb fool. Beatles, U2, Bruce Springsten, prince, Michael jackson, rolling stones etc did more for music then you ever will. You only steal other peoples music and rap over it!
Shit did we officially adopt prince and mj, I missed the memo. Hashtag: were taking Barack next
https://www.facebook.com/pages/HiphopLiv/486580884716079
Get your fuckin mind right boy. Stop lookin at rasist/non-rasist side of view. Its a music nigga. You got hot or non-hot album, face it, fuckface.
Kanye you will never win a Grammy because you and your music it’s shit! so fuck off and get that ugly bitch Kim with you 🙂
he already won 21 of them
O and Kanye you are the biggest racist man in plant earth 🙂 white black sit is all the same HUMAN
Kanye ain’t racist, he’s trying to claim he’s a victim of racism. He’s dead wrong about his claim though.
What you mean Kanye!
You beat out Eminem back in 2005 for Best Rap Album
don’t bring up facts to Kanye
No he beat out em in 2006, he beat out the beastie boys in 2005….. Oh yeah don’t bring up facts to kanye
as a close friend of Lil Wayne I spend a lot of time with the YMCMB crew. last weekend me and Weezy were smoking weed in the bathroom, while Drake was taking a shit and Nicki Minaj was removing hair from her legs with electric depilator. so we were talking about who is the gayest rapper alive. Kanye, Jay, Eminem or Kendrick Lamar? it was hard to decide. we all know Kanye wears skirts and had sex with french fashion designers, Kendrick had a gay orgy with Black Hippy and Suge Knight. Eminem had a threesome with Dr. Dr and Tony Yayo…. but! we all voted for Jay-Z aka Shawn “I can only fuck Beyonce with a strap-on because I like male body” Knowles. yes, he is the gayest rapper. you ask why? let me tell you. he tried to rape: Bennie Siegel, Frank Ocean, Biggie Smalls, Memphis Blake, Ja Rule, P. Diddy. he RAPED J. Cole, Eminem, Kanye West, Jaz-O and Tyler the Creator… this old ass nigga is an asspirate, notorious gay and rapist. no comment. swag
People should stop buying this racist music maybe then he will learn to shut his mouth I know I’ll never buy another album of his
Poor Kanye, I think he just needs to chill out with Kim and make another song with katy Perry, fucking fag
Yeezus was garbage, MBDTF was solid but over-hyped. I think it has got to the point where i don’t want to listen to another one of this guys albums unless he is producing someone else’s album
And this will be the realest shit I ever wrote
Now let’s talk about the BET Awards
When Kanye went to the podium for the win
And mentioned everyone in the same category as him but me and Em
He said they motivated him
And normally that would be ammo to hate on him
But that ain’t my M.O! My M.O. is to be mo’ motivatin’
This new-wave culture is so cultivatin’!
Where the fuck do I fit in?
And this will be the realest shit I ever wrote
Kanye didn’t not get a Grammy cause he’s black. It’s cause all his new music SUCKS MY BALLS.
no one got any grammys yet this year dog. and he has a few nominations just not in the category he would have liked which is album of the year
Its close to crazy to be so in love with yourself that you’re the biggest groupie of self!
Still he is a great artist!
this guy is always whining about shit no one gives a fuck about… oh boo hoo you only won 21 grammys instead of 24 who fucking cares nigga get a life those arent real problems
He should be glad those execs forced Yeezus to the Gold plaque status it did get. That album was an embarrassment.
Adidas gotta be pissed right now. He got his deal and now he’s crying about some new shit.
and apologizing to nike LOL
His first 2 albums are his best…I’m a white guy that has always thought Kanye was great, and I stuck up for him when he said racist shit. I think this is crazy though, seriously man grow up! Everyone on the planet knows who you are, and you claim to be victimized?
Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is his best album
Blueprint was “his” best album but solo has got to go to his 1st 3 albums. Mbdtf was epic but didn’t change the game like the others. Btw I’m white and didn’t buy 808s or yeezus, just sayin
recovering gay fish gonna marry the fucking hobbit
To the 5 boroughs, 2005 grammys, no white people involved?
Hahahahhaha fucking millionaire rapper with lots of awards somehow figures out how to make himself the victim of racism
I remember years ago they put this fool on the cover of Time Magazine for being a fucking rapper and he was still complaining about they made him come off too sensitive and emotional!!!
Nigga when you getting emotional over someone calling you emotional you need to check yourself!
This nigga gay
What a fucking fag, I hope he shits himself today
Kayne Kardashian is a gay fish
This fuck-boy did not just pull the race card at least 3/4 of ur album sales have been to white people the hood aint buying 808’s and yeezus bitch.
Ur an average mc who makes great beats get ur head out ur hole already
Okusually I don’t comment on Kanye’s stupid statements, but this might be one of the stupidest things he has ever said in his life, besides the fact that it’s completely untrue.
Let’s look at the facts:
In 2005, Yeezy won a Grammy for Best Rap Album for The College Drop Out, beating the Beastie Boys in order to do so.
In 2006, Kanye won both Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Album, beating Eminem in both categories.
In 2010, he won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay-Z and Rihanna for “Run This Town”, beating The Lonely Island, then finally, in 2012, he won the same award for “All of the Lights”, beating Eminem and Dre to do so.
He’s beat out white people five times, at least. I may have missed some. But hey, while were here, let’s see how many times Yeezy’s actually LOST to white people.
John Mayer in 2005 for Song of the Year
Maroon 5 in 2005 for Best New Artist
U2 in 2006 for Album of the Year.
Linkin Park and Jay-Z in 2006 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Green Day in 2006 for Record of the Year.
Coldplay in 2009 for Song of the Year.
Eminem in 2010 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
Eminem in 2011 for Best Rap Solo Performance.
& Adele in 2012 for Song of the Year.
So, out of Kanye’s 54 Grammy nominations and his 21 wins, he’s only lost to white people nine times. Not even 20% of the time.
Chill Kanye.
I think this dude is talking about the MAJOR categories and he is right. Most of his wins are in the RAP/R&B categories, which 95% of the time the other artists are black. I can see that as being a slap in the face. So you nominate Ye in all these big categories all of the time but he only wins against his other RAP peers and people. If Macklemore and Ryan Lewis win in any of the MAJOR categories they are nominated in I would be pissed. Its all politics. What other black/rap artist has been nominated in the major categories and won recently??? NONE! Ye is the only black artis to consistently be in the categories and never win. Its like them saying well we need to put somebody from the genre in there but they wont win anyway. Thats like going to the super bowl 5 times and losing but winning MVP 4 or 5 times. Hell, if its about his funky attitude and rants then stop nominating him. If Kendrick doesnt win 1 or 2 Grammy’s thats another slap. Hollywood and the music game is all political. We have been brainwashed for years. How many Record of the Years and Album of the Years do people in the hood bump?? Ye is the only dude that will speak up. Other artists get happy about getting a nom in their own category. Hell, if I think my album is dope and should be up for a MAJOR award then stand up and thats for all artists. Thats like saying ya’ll good but ya’ll just some rappers so stick over there. Same thing with these Golden Globe Awards, the Butler was left off and so was Angela Bassett.
BruthaDee wuttup
Dan Torres just fucking owned Kayne Kardashian
As emperor of black people, I declare that Kanye West no longer has a right to speak about the struggles of the black community. He could of married a beautiful black woman that already has five kids and lives in the projects but no…he decided to marry a RICH WHITE WOMAN instead. We feel that Kanye West is a traitor to his own people. He’s all black black black right during the day and then goes home to his WHITE FAMILY at night. Don’t get me wrong, Kanye West is still better then every single white person on this earth (including Eminem, awwwww shiitttt just pissed yall white boys off wit dat 1) but at the end of the day Kanye is no longer a preacher for the black community. The Grammys are still racist thought, and we will be protesting.
kanye always finds a way to complain or cry about something…..”poor me, everybody is out to get me B/C i’m rich, black, and speaks my mind”…………STFU……..dude hasn’t dropped a decent worth listening album since 200-08ish

“How many Record of the Years and Album of the Years do people in the hood bump?? ”
people in the hood dont matter.
and they dont bump Yeezus either!
So he throwing a fit because his album wasnt good enough to win or even be nominated for album of the year? Seems dumb to me. Try harder next time.
Stop reposting shit queerboy
Damn,All them albums up for Grammys blow ass..Who picks these shits?…Im thinkin a fat ass bald white guy sittin in a office somwere
i believe they have a committee or committees who decide
Anyone catch South Park last night? shit could have been better hes given us so much material to mock him with in the last few months!
You can’t go from being a douche to playing a victim and expect sympathy. It don’t work that way man, plus who gives fuck about a hotdamn grammy?
Is he saying that there are no other 36 year olds with 21 Grammys? There may not be any current 36 year olds with 21 Grammys, but I’m sure there are older award winners that have 21 or more Grammy awards.
omg i hate this guy with such a burning passion
this article means nothing.
real hip hop cats dont recognize the grammys.
that shit is for mainstream, commercial, watered down artists and non rap.
stop acknowledging the pusssy ass grammys!
Oh the ‘race card’ again isi. I am sick to death of this narcasistic crybaby.
Before you try to use a “fancy” word, know how to spell it(narcissistic).
the grammys are a joke. only good album on that list is good kid maad city. then you got kanyes worst album, one of jay-zs 2 or three worst albums, and two albums of faggot bitch shit.
kanye gonna go the MJ route and turn into a full blown whitey before he dies just watch! then they still wont except him and it has nothing to do with race. a fucktard is a fucktard no matter what color he/she is.
I read your last sentence like Horton… XD
SORRY KANYE BUT THERES A REASON YEEZUS IS YOUR FIRST ALBUM TO NOT SELL PLATINUM!!! IT SUCKED
Not true. 2005 he won against the Beastie Boys, and in 2006 he won against Eminem. There may be issues of race here, but his statement isn’t true.
Does he realize that it is mainly because his work is of the type that is common among African americans? And, that is why he has not won against a white person? Because there aren’t nearly as many white artists in the categories he is in! But then again, even the most obvious things are not obvious to him. I get small laughs out of the circus that is Kanye. He can’t understand things, so it must of course be that the whole world is against him or doesn’t get how “great” he is. Everyone can have an opinion and here is mine. He can rap, but I am not sure how he thinks that qualifies him to compete with musicians and artists in other categories. Just because he is popular does not make him great or a proven talent. There are plenty of talented people that never become famous.
This man is an idiot. He has very little talent and he has far less brains.
Never listened never will, guessing I’m the reason he won’t win against a better artist
2005 Grammys: “Jesus Walks” won Best Rap Song over “99 Problems” which is Jay-Z and Rick Rubin, “The College Dropout won Best Rap Album over Beastie Boys “”To the 5 Boroughs”
2006 Grammys: “Gold Digger” won Best Rap Solo Performance over Eminem’s “Mockingbird”, “Late Registration” won Best Rap Album over Eminem’s “Encore”
2009 Grammys: “American Boy” won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration over Lupe Fiasco & Matthew Santos’ “Superstar”
2010 Grammys: “Run This Town” won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration over “I’m On A Boat” which is T.I. ft Lonely Island and “Dead and Gone” which is T.I. and Justin Timberlake, “Run This Town” won Best Rap Song over “D.O.A” and “Dead and Gone” which Justin Timberlake was a credited song witer
2012 Grammys: “All of the Lights” won Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration over “I Need A Doctor” which was nominated in both categories and thats Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Skyler Grey
2013 Grammys: “No Church in the Wild” won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration over “Wild Ones” performed by Flo Rida and Sia, and “Cherry Wine” performed by Nas and Amy Winehouse.
So what the hell is he talking about?!?!?!?!?! Thats 10 Grammys won over white artists, Kanye is insane, what he forget they were nominated or something??
literally all of the songs that you mentioned are FEATURING a white artist, not BY one.
Real musicians are in tune, have rhythym,and are better listeners than talkers.His undeserved ego is disgusting. The grammys are not a measurement of creativity anyway, theyre just deciding who is most marketable visually. Its too bad children arent encouraged to be/listen to creative souls anymore
