Although i am a Weezy fan, i don't think he deserved the Grammy for rap album of the year. Personally i think it should have gone to one of the most slept on artists of this time....Lupe Fiasco. The Cool is one of the realest albums you will ever hear. Tied together with three metaphoric characters, it is more than an album with catchy singles bought by people who jumped on the "millon copies sold in the first week bandwagon", it is an actual story. Im going to have to downgrade the Grammy's for this one, because it is another representation of how true hip-hop is being murdered by "ringtone rap". So the next time you decide to go out and buy an album put some thought into and buy from artists like Lupe that refuse to "Dumb it Down".
Just a side note on the Grammy's
If you like real soulful music, check out the winner of the best new artist award. Her name is Adele and she is amazing.
Yeah, i think Lupe should have won that grammy. I like his whole album, every track i sit down and listen to. I never skip one single track. My favorite gots to be between 'Dumb it Down," or "Paris Tokyo."
ReplyDeleteThis is real talk most def. Because Lupe is the truth, and he rarely gets the respect he deserves. His album was a classic and one of the best sophomore albums I heard in a long while. He most certainly deserved that Grammy. They certainly down graded there selves with this one.Lupe is cold..end of story
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Lupe is between "Die" and "Fighters" real niggas respect.
