Court jester/minstrel style entertainer. Gets points for actually knowing how to play instruments but his music lacks originality and moreover doesn’t seem to have a thoughtful or resonating message.
/humanity
you telling me this nigga should have been the only black artist to win since 2005 when black music has dominated the music landscape this whole time
f*** outta here
Not related to what I said
These white ppl get in they feelings when a black artist they dont know takes their stupid ass trophies
These were mostly black people as well
Why hate on dude for winning the grammy instead of the grammys itself
The way grammys pick album of the year doesnt make sense and its very clear politics are involved all the time
Be pickin the most obscure album or the most popular theres something behind the scenes thats sketchy
But congrats to jon batiste i dont know much except soul soundtrack but that shi is fire
I only know him from colbert’s show. From the show he seems like a lame. Seems like the token black guy that white people like

Do you feel the same about Questlove and The Roots?

They were well known before being a late night band

Jon Batiste’s resume is even larger than theirs though despite not being as popular lol
He’s been at it since 2005 lol
Very musically talented jazz pianist and R&B singer who likely should not have won the Grammy for AOTY, but his album We Are is still good and doesn't deserve to be shat on cause the artist you wanted to win didn't
Especially if your black And rooting for some young non-black girl to win cause you think she’s hot lmao

What? The Roots have been well known since like 1999. No disrespect to the guy but no contest here.
I didn’t know who this guy was prior to the Grammys but ngl it’s sad some of y’all are in here bigging up Olivia Rodrigo and Billie
new Beck
were there really people who didn't know who Beck was until he won AOTY in 2015? I find that so hard to believe

Been at it since 2005 and still nobody know who he is
Ppl actually know who the Roots are
I'm not sure. But if you gone give a Grammy to that type of music you better give it to Bootsy Baby
Yall niggas be just bragging about how yall don't know nothin bout black American music lol.
@lovetalkgames with all due respect, you can eat a d*** with that bullshit you just posted.
Jon Batiste is a world-renowned jazz pianist coming from a well known New Orleans family of talented artists. Went to Julliard and was killing s*** from like...17. But y'know, putting on for your city that's known as the original place where jazz started doesn't count for anything more than court jester/minstrel style entertainment when you're a c***right?
Love how it's only the black musicians that play on the late night shows that get a "bad rep" for some reason.
It’s almost as if KTT2 is predominantly c**
