The nominees for the 2009 Grammys were released earlier this month, and it's left more than a few people scratching their heads, saying, "say wha?!"
Lil' Wayne leads the pack with an impressive 8 nominations. Wayne, let's face it, isn't known for having much, if any, great earth shattering music or for having any thought provoking lyrics. He's no Kanye West.
In case you had any doubt, here is a sample of his lyrics: "I'm a young money millionaire...I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed...sister, brother, son, daughter, father, mutha **** a copper...A million here a million there, Sicilian b**** with long hair with coke in her derriere..."
Lyrical genius, no?
I think I'm going to vomit.
It's a sad day in the music industry when you have to resort to nominating Lil' Wayne for a grammy.
You'd think that the music industry was on the precipice of totally collapsing, but that isn't the case. There are still artists and bands out there who are far more talented than the likes of Lil' Wayne and his ilk.
I guess it proves once again that the grammys have turned into nothing more than a popularity contest.
The grammys totally snubbed a couple of artists as well: Taylor Swift and Santogold, to name a few.
On the positive side, though, M.I.A, Coldplay, Adele, OneRepublic, Leona Lewis, Daft Punk, Rufus Wainwright, Kanye West, Death Cab For Cutie, and My Morning Jacket are all nominated in their respective categories.
