    "CoNspIrÂcy"
    Alleged racial bias in the Grammy voting process

    Newly suspended CEO Deborah Dugan filed a discrimination charge against the Recording Academy of Arts & Sciences just days before the Grammy Awards are set to air. Dugan alleges she was being retaliated against for reporting misconduct within the Academy, detailing several explosive claims in the 46-page complaint.

    None of this is proof lmao.

    The Wikipedia article is especially shambles

    I'll admit that I didn't read the Wikipedia page since I just wanted to point that allegations have been made

    However the 46 page report from Deborah Dugan states sexism and racism as a part of the academy (and they don't care about it) + a corrupt process
    She claims she has proof of it too
    An allegation made by a former ceo isn't a "conspiracy" we have no proof she's doing this to "conspire" against the Grammy
    Isn't a conspiracy, a theory that came out of thin air (made up) to undermine a institution/person etc
    This is a former ceo blowing the whistle claiming she has proof
    Her claims have basis since several people have been calling out as well (without proof) she's just confirming people's suspicions

    I read the article (skimmed) and it seems more to be about sexism and putting financial interests first.

    I think the grammy’s are p garbage they’re literally the billboard awards with more prestige hence why Adele is a lock to win so many times.

    I think Adele’s jawns weren’t bad per se but AOTY idk

    I don’t think there’s a conspiracy though.

    Sell well and make popular music and you’ll win Grammy’s.

    Taylor and Adele are both successful women who regularly do well.

    Fam I can’t stop imagining it lol

    He got a album with Mannie and a tape with old beats apparently in the works apparently so hopefully these inspire him to do more focused and themed projects

    Verse 2 on Harden specifically brings that C3 sessions energy I know he could still do it.

    Stop speaking on the Grammys - boycott them. No need to give this outdated board such prestige.

    The Weeknd wasn’t even nominated so clearly that isn’t the case.

    I’m interested in the tape of old beats. He might really have a chance with that one. He needs to embrace his age and play more of an elder statesman role in hip hop.

    Unfortunately the reality is that he’s a pill popping burnout with too much talent, 0 direction, and poor management.

    “They say my days are numbered but I keep taking d****

    Had me a lil conflicted ngl lol

    That tape is guaranteed to be fire, every song on an old beat or a vintage sounding one since his initial “fall off” has been fire.

    I think another problem is what once made him great and ahead of the curve is holding him back. His desire to be an ace of all trades is making him want to prove that he can do what a lot of these young boys are doing when all they’re doing on some level is a polished but tamed version of what he was at his mainstream peak. He’s going backwards a bit, even though when he commits it still works.

    Like you said tho if he leaned into his introspective elder role, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his best era. We already know he got that in his personality so it’s there.

    I’m tired of talking about his management lol it’s been years and I’m tired.
