T.I. has a bold (and bias) prediction of who he thinks will take home the golden gramophone for the Best Rap album at the 57th annual Grammy Awards.
On Friday (February 6), Tip held a private show at the Sayers Club in Hollywood, CA to kick off Grammy weekend. Before he hit the stage, the Grand Hustle Records founder told HipHopDX that he’s rooting for his own artist to win at the award show on Sunday night.
“I’m pro Iggy,” he said, before explaining his answer. “Off the list, that’s the only one that has benefited my campaign. I’m rockin’ with who’s rockin’ with me.”
T.I. took home two Grammys at the 2007 award show and another in 2009. He’s been nominated over a dozen times as well, but he still believes the voting process may be flawed.
“I don’t think its enough young urban socialites on the board for us to have a clear voice,” he said. “You can look at the list of people who’ve never won a Grammy to see that. Tupac and B.I.G. have never won a Grammy, Snoop Dogg has never won a Grammy. That kinda says a lot.”
Instead of rewarding the best product or the best artist, Tip says the Grammys is “too focused on the bottom line” and the “dollars and cents.”
“It’s whatever is commercial is successful, and whatever plays the most on the radio, which is why I think Iggy is going to win it,” he explained. “I don’t think that’s nothing she has to be ashamed of, that’s something she should be proud of.”
no
She will win because she’s white and the grammys are ran by weak ass white folks.That shit is a joke and no real musicians respect that shit. Shes nothing but a culture vulture like,Riff raff, fat bronson, n the rest of these lame wiggers that give whites tryin to do rap music a bad name. By the way, I’m white too. let the shit talkin begin…
ppl like you are the reason racism will always exist.. dont give anyone props. just cause theyre white. do u know who buys these rap albums? white people. any artist that doesnt have white kids support wont last or will be “underground.” stfu. with that being said none of these albums deserve a fuckin grammy.
u give black people a bad name by saying that shit that why u guys will never evolve
more culture vulture talk… another sheep joins the flock. you should be ashamed of yourself. she makes music that she grew up on and likes. if she spat with an aussie accent she’d still be in Australia. cause these americans only want to hear themselves. hows that for exclusion. well done to tip.
” the grammys are ran by weak ass white folks.”.. LOL yeah they so weak they got you niggas all up in arms over some dumb awards. why dont black people start their own awards… or are they too weak?
tired of white folks talking this reverse racism talk. its much more than “i dont like you because your black or white”. its a fucking system that oppresses blacks through economics, politics, laws, etc. so stop with that white privileged “get over it” bull shit. Bottom line is this… Iggy has an aussie accent but raps with some bull shit southern slum ghetto accent trying to be “down” and thats just fuckin fake and insulting to the culture. All she’s doing is appropriating black culture for a fuckin buck. just like white folks did with rock, blues and jazz.
im white and all i got to say is if i was black i would be pissed at TI. im white and im kinda mad
“Off the list, that’s the only one that has benefited my campaign.”
So he’s rooting for the person who will make him more money. No shit….
Ti has no right to speak on anything.
She deserves it
she deserves a fat cock in her mouth.
fucking devil
dx need to hire sumone wit a personality to interview ppl they all middle class boring as shit. no one cares bout the grammys they don’t know shit
Grammy judges don’t know nothing about rap. From the nominees, Eminem will win, Iggy had singles that was on radio alot but this is based on entire album. Ofcourse, Eminem album was about 3.5/5 (5/5 lyrical and 2/5 beats)
You remember mackelmore beat kdot last year right? You must be a big thrift store fan.
whoever attends the show will win lol
I don’t have enough respect for whites for their misinformed opinions to offend me, but race-traiting assholes like Pharrel, Anthony Mackie and this bastard TI make my blood boil. They always shit on our people and whites always take the precidant whenever these debates take place. Our culture is becoming more segregated and this is no time for split loyalty, we gotta know who the enemy is and choose the right side. If you’re gonna hate on whites for being bigoted and hostile towards our people, that’s just as futile as disliking a spider for having eight legs, but having an aversion for “Black” people who deploy a Judus mentality is the equivalent of a cockroach on your salad. Unfortunately, Suge ran over the wrong Brother last week..
this whole bullshit saga is a double negative. let’s move forward.
I hope Schoolboy Q or Eminem will win
grammy’s plan is like this:
1- White female rap artist
2- white male …
3- black female ….
4- black male …
and so iggy
thats why a white female rapper has never won before right?
shes not even his artist
that chain is MEAN!!! but these rappers only wear those when they ride with their bodyguards. and FUCK TI for supportin Iggy. thats his cashcow now so I kinda understand…
Tip been sold his soul. The powers that be made him sign and pen raps for Iggy in attempt to whitewash real female hip hop artists. Then he cosigned gay ass yung thug.
she left grand hustle before she blew up
Iggy is so damn fine. I fully support fit White women who embrace hip-hop culture. That new Lil’ Debbie video “Wiggle” makes my dick stand at attention, I can’t even lie.
I think Iggy or Gambino take it.
T.I. has become corny as hell and not because he is supporting Iggy, I mean that’s his artist, he helped her progress in the industry.. In general his whole personality has become corny.. Also he’s no longer making good music. I’d say his music is average at best, If that
I hope she wins.
Well… SHE DID NOT WIN!
damn he must feel dumb now
Eminem is white and he strongly supports hip hop just like Iggy but Iggy gets the hate and he [Emi] gets the praise. Blacks should allow anyrace to join hip hop culture, its a way to make the white community of America accept them (blacks) as part of human race.
