0:00.0 | Lou, I have to say this, I think it's really rare that the Grammys actually get her right. |
0:03.9 | Because when going and preparing for this episode, I decided to kind of take the approach of |
0:08.6 | going through every single category, kind of, you know, obviously for hip-hop and hip-hop songs |
0:13.5 | as a whole, and just kind of seeing who is nominated, who won, who did they snub? |
0:17.8 | And in my head, I'm like, have they ever really gotten this genre right? |
0:22.5 | And I think that they have had good categories in the past. |
0:26.3 | But at the same time, it's like you look at what's nominated and maybe you have like three good nominations. |
0:31.6 | But then you got another maybe like 15 shitty ones. |

1:00.0 | blatant mistake after mistake in terms of crowning the wrong track or album or artist whatever the |
1:06.3 | case may be um so yeah i mean that's kind of the same approach that I took going through different |
1:10.9 | years where I feel like there were some injustices. But I also took the approach of like, oh, wow, |
1:16.3 | like this artist never won a Grammy. Well, this should have been a song that won one for them. |
1:21.8 | You know what I mean? So I also looked at it that way too. I also went with the approach. You know, |
1:25.3 | the category that makes me laugh the most out of the hip hop ones is best melodic performance. |
1:31.2 | I was really going through then. |
