IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Kanye Is Real Mad About Not Getting ENOUGH Grammy Nominations

Published

Kanye West copped two Grammy nominations this week, but apparently, that wasn’t good enough for him.  And his latest rant-o-the-day was all about the "snub".  Check it inside, plus a few other folks who felt slighted by getting zero nominations…

During an interview with E! (of course) and on stage during his Phoenix Yeezus tour stop on Tuesday, Kanye let the world know he’s not OK with the 2014 GRAMMY nominations.  To be specific, he said, "F*ck those nominations!"

Kanye, who did land nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for "New Slaves", took to the mic to say the nominations were "patronizing".  He said, "I would have rather had NO nominations.  I’m happy for my brothers who did get nominations."

He went on, "Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list but only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say?"

Apparently, he was pissed Yeezus didn’t get nominated for Album of the Year. That’s the one category that crosses all genre lines, and we know how much Kanye wants so badly to be accepted by the "mainstream establishment"….yet speaks so hatefully about it.

Kanye said on stage that he’s won 21 Grammys in his career (which is an amazing feat), but he’s not pleased because he’s never won a Grammy against a white artist.  He says people are marginalized and boxed in.  In theory, we agree. Do we think it applies to Kanye?  We’ll keep our comments to ourselves on that one….

But the "Bound 2" rapper looked to be back in good spirits on Wednesday as he was spotted out with his leading lady and her mom doing Christmas shopping in "the establishment"…Barneys.

By the way, K.Michelle and India Arie are also pissed about getting snubbed for a Grammy nomination.  K said they must not be ready for "a little black girl speaking her mind."  And India said this is the first time she hasn’t been nominated for her work.

 

BONUS: Arsenio Hall had some words this week for Kanye after ‘Ye included Arsenio in one of his rants.  He had to school Mr. West on the real deal:

The Randomness:

1.  The Mandela memorial service sign language interpreter who stirred up controversy this week by actually not signing anything correctly…is claiming he was hallucinating and is suffering from schizophrenia.  STORY

Skilla Baby Teases New Project With “Free Big Meech”

Published

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

Published

By

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
