Among many other things . Diddy said,"Truth be told, hip-hop has never been respected by the Grammys. Black music has never been respected by the Grammys."Nancy Pelosi.
Huh Wtf were u watching
Look at the clowns and their names, sukiyaki187, ticate153, everybody is young something or other, please
If Diddy actually made music, I might listen to his concerns.
Gee! I wonder why?
I get it I really do. Bonnie Goodell 👠
I say bullshit compared to how they bury rock music just because country and hip hop are the 'in' things!!
His statement is such bulkshit! Tell that to all the black artists that won awards. Another example of keeping blacks as victims.
The entire show was a black music. Is he insane.
Who do people always need to make it about race?
If you want to take a stand Diddy , quit showing up to these award shows.
Build a bridge
Where is the awards for metal hard rock...
Try Metal
Yet he's there! Im so tired of him! Its the Grammys! Not preschool, where everyone gets a participation award. GRAMMYs DiddySucks
Ok... Did we watch the same Grammy's?
What's he taking about? That hippo just won a Grammy.
Wow such a stupid thing to say
Ha! Is he joking? Rock and metal are the genres constantly being ignored by the music industry. All they do if focus on rap hip hop and pop. GTFOH
Oooooh here we go like seriously!
Oh shit... no one told Diddy that Lizzo was nominated for 8 awards tonight alone. So sad.
Why is there black music or white music. Isn’t it just music. Why always a color ?
What? White music is barely allowed at any music shows anymore including the Grammys. Award shows are just white bashing shows now where white people are frowned upon and are not allowed to win anything. Please
Grammys has their agenda. That is how the Hollywood agenda is. They don’t respect anyone I don’t care if your are white or black.
He’s right
clarencehilljr The Grammys is basically 100% black music. TF?
BET, SoulTrain, BMA have left out all races. Latinos have Latin Grammys, Latin AMA, Billboard Latin. Make another show to award yourself, the market dictates. Fix the problem stop complaining
Because singing about pussy, hoes, drive bys, drugs, and prison is so respectful🤷🏽♀️
What does it matter? Start your own.
Why do black people care about whitefolks....
💜💜💜💜💜🥰 Love
That’s because it sucks
His he serious?
This is the same Grammys that gave Sheryl Crow alternative rock award ahead of SmashingPumpkins PearlJam Garbage The Grammys doesn’t represent black artists as well as they should. There are so many innovative blackartists over the years that got snubbed.
Oh, brother, here we go
Black music is the anthem of prisons all over the place
2 words- STEVIE WONDER- he is black & blind- & has 25 Grammy's - I might add- he has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more talent than the current so called talent of today- RAP is not music. RAP is not respected as it disrespects society- 'Back That Ass Up' 'Its All About The Money'
I knew Grammy Academy Awards existed all because Michael Jackson won so many awards!! Maybe it was Diddy who was talking about himself winning and not black music itself.
Neither has rock music. I’ll never forget best hard rock group, Jethro Tull
Hispanics need a race card
They don’t support shit music 🙄
Here’s a tip, come up with your own music and stop stealing riffs and samples from real musicians, then maybe you can earn some respect.
Oh boy here we go
Not only music a whole lot of other s***
So the whole MoTown thing was a myth?
That’s why Latinos made their own Latin Grammy, time to make another award
It’s all rigged....(that’s what the ousted CEO of the Grammys said).....
He ain't never lied. They stay convincing us that white mediocrity is better.
That’s because there no such thing as “ Black Music”, it’s all called plain old “music”....
He trying to stay in the public eye.
I’ll allow it but watch your step counselor!
This dude acts like he cares about black artists when he sucks money and life out of his own Bad Boy artist’s careers and only make himself richer. Now go fetch me a cheesecake....
Oh word? The same guy who couldn’t get his “urban” music videos played on MTV has his arms full of Grammy awards. 🤨
“black music”? How about just “music” I hope he’s not referring to modern hip hop as “Black Music” because 99.9% of it is complete garbage.
The only award anyone should worry about is the award shows that fans choose and not some overpaid pencil pusher
Try rock or metal that's what's not respected
That doesn’t make since because there is a lot of black peoples who are music producers that vote for who gets a Grammy? It’s not a bored of 5 people. It’s over 10,000 people who choose who is nominated. I highly doubt they are all white.
Where's the lie?
Heavy Metal would like a word on the topic.
It's true what he said and thats why i stopped watching awards coz they bring all these white musicians to try to convince us that they are better..even with movies. Something has to be change.
Well, black music has sucked for years so...
The only respect is it's good enough to steal and call it there own. Just saying.
TMZ what in the world does Whitney Houston have to do with this? Why even mention her name at all in this article? Just unnecessary. 🙄
No, just your music
Also look up last years winner Childish Gambino won it all for the most part. So again Diddy just pissed trying to push some sorta personal agenda. Life is changing but change takes time this country and its citizens need to give it that time.
Neither are black people. Only white women that want black men because of their fame and money. Just like the rest of the world no money and if you are black according to them you nothing. So who’s surprised. But still we chase their recognition
Does the clown think he deserves more than the three he won?
Sorry Diddy but the color of your skin shouldn’t be a reason to win an award, their have been many great artist of all colors who have been snubbed &I believe Drake said it better, the grand prize is having people spend their money to see you live &buy your music that is success!
Literally his speech could be talking about every starving artist of any genre or race because when your passionate you always throw yourself into it and there are plenty of artist who don't ever get recognized. How about recognition for all artist.
I don't see the great rock musicians crying about awards or not getting due respect 🙄. Give me a break. 'And the incoherent mumble rapper of the year goes to...'
Black music has gotten more respect and acknowledgment then Metal music....so now what
I think he means Metal or Rock ...
Rap is not music
If you’re referring to rap, maybe it’s because most rock bands actually write their own music, play the instruments and perform them too. Not too difficult to rap some lyrics over a track that someone makes for you and tells you what to say.
A grammy only mean anything if you want it to thats why we have to go back to our own award shows bring the source awards and vibe awards back or smbdy need to create our own equivilant to what a grammy is
I believe this! Very sad! 💕💕💕💕
First off, I don’t agree. Second...it’s kinda hard to cry racial discrimination when there’s the BET awards🤷🏻♂️
EMO and indie music isn’t given anything either. Everyone has to start their own awards. CMT does their own Country Music award show but other forms of music aren’t given the RecordingAcad Grammy stage or any stage. Bands just pack themselves in Vans driving from city to city.
What songs are 'black music' that term in itself is racist. Music is music does not matter who makes it. As long as people keep going with 'black music' or 'white music' you will never grow and get this country out of its racist hole. Music is music!
No.. Metal music has never been respected by the Grammys.
He's right tho
That’s cool 😎 it doesn’t really matter we are the essence of all music 🎶 Diddy and so many others are bigger than the Grammy’s anyway ✌🏾
Ok boomer
He’s not wrong....
He's right.
Playing the race card again 🙄
Is pDiddy even relevant anymore
I have two words to say about that: Stevie Wonder.
Facts..ask Chris Brown
Facts
Because singing about violence and strippers is so respectable
Ever notice when people are washed up how critical they become! Tyra Banks said last week the modelling industry is racists after spending most of her life in it. If you feel this way say something when your relavant
Yeah, I don't really give a shit what this fool says. He's a multi billionaire crying about trivial problems. Help stop diseases, hunger, homelessness. Concentrate on making some good music again or actually signing some good artists....who fucking cares about an award show?
neither has heavy metal.., who cares
Now if a white celebrity said this they would be called racist comments.
Says the guy who won a Grammy over Wu Tang Forever.
Really? It’s always been respected for decades. You know what’s not respected? Rock music.
Which world is Diddy living in?
The music industry is all about money. Color doesnt mean shit. The Rock n Roll Hall of fame is the perfect example. 2pac and BIG arent considered Rock music but are in the RNR Hall when bands like Motorhead and Judas Priest arent? Cmon man
the grammys suck
I checked the fridge today and we are out of butter. It must be racism.
Facts
If the video was subtitled. “Light smatterings of applause.”
DJPAULKOM won a Grammy.
He’s right but unfortunately there’s been no good hip hop since PAC, Biggie, and Big L got killed and Pun passed. “Puffy” who he’ll always be, hasn’t made a hit since Mase bounced on him. Doing better than Suge tho, but still irrelevant. He should make another band.
Yep and he’s absolutely right.
Those damn Grammys!!! Only giving awards to people who can actually sing and play instruments. Maybe they don’t respect people screaming calling women bitches and ho’s praising drugs, money and murder.
Well damn! welcome home brother.
Or Good Rock Music.
Here we go again
It’s a white elitist party who in the world do y’all think they gunna vote for having the best music? Boycott it to hell, who even needs that award? my actual Grammy my mommas mom is the only Grammy that I got too and im fine the sky is blue.
This to your lies on Michael Jackson and thank you to diddy
Hmm , is this true? If so the Grammy should take notice.
maybe cus the black music major labels put out just suck; blame yourself
OutKast and Lauryn Hill won album of the year
