Your point doesn’t makes as much sense as you think it does

You know underground legends exist right

Whole thread is just utter shambles

People just wanted to get their hate off forreal. Lotta the points they're attempting to make don't really even make sense, and they're dancing around the real problem some people had itt and that's a white dude calling a Black dude a minstrel show coon.

You can say what you want about Jon Batiste's album. You can even say that it didn't deserve the Grammy, I think 90% of the posters itt will agree. But there's a clear line that had no business being crossed and it was

So what award did he win? Best album of the year?

i never heard of him until snl saturday and the grammys yesterday

won album of the year

niggas are just stupid on here bro

only on KTT will you see a dude who literally snubbed much more deserving artists get flipped into some pro-black nonsense and then be called racist if you think someone else should've won

s*** is a clown show

He won album of the year. I don't think he should've won it because I doubt many people even heard it, but the album is legitimately good. Is it as good as the other nominees? Purely subjective, but the people trashing the album are bringing the most random ass points against it that aren't even about the music. You got people saying he only got it cause he's on CBS and because he's a "magical Black man that plays piano" and white people like that

Can you show me that they’re not Black? If so then for sure

Respect to him and it doesn't seem like there was really an obviously robbery or anything. Contenders weren't the best

But the basis on which they give out awards will always confuse me. Sometimes it seems hugely bout popularity then you'll randomly get someone obscure win it

if it's someone that not white that's the front runner or most popular it will be a year they give it to some one obscure / unfancied

Just something I've noticed.

Niggas love bragging about listening to c***artists on here lmao smh

Its almost like people like different music on a music forum

Just look like fiending for white validation to me tbh

because you have the world view of a 14 year old

only on ktt is listening to different music fiending for white validation

again you niggas are on some pro black s*** now but wasnt none of you streaming the album

corny

i just played the album, musically it's pretty cool. i can't get behind too much of the rapping going on, but otherwise it's solid. BOY HOOD into MOVEMENT 11 specifically was a standout to me, shoutout PJ Morton. I can see Chance collaborating with homie lol

nah he got me. i listen to white pop artists in hopes that white people will accept me and forgive me for being black

Honestly this Jon Batiste dude seems like a token pick to me, like the Grammys want to act like their “for black music” but completely s*** on HipHop and R&B or any other black genre that doesn’t fit their taste.

hey! that's what i said, but apparently that means im tap dancing for prototypical teenage angst pop!

imagine if the grammys picked an album with actual impact

f*** all this talking, are some of y'all at least curious enough to listen to Jon's album and THEN resume your opinions? this is rhetorical, i already know

ITT: People who can't believe music—and especially black music—exists outside of rap and R&B.

Tbf his album was winning a lot in the pre-show. None of that was aired that could be where the shock comes from
