Hope for the Best

The 51st or whatever Grammy's are on tonight and no, I will not be watching it. Haven't watched em since the Dixie Chicks beat out Gnarls Barkley for album of the year. Kanye keeps getting robbed(even Bono from U2 knew it) and the list of nominees is just....poor. If the Grammy's are like the top award show for music, why the hell are they sooo late when it comes to nominating albums? Its 2009 and Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, Jay-Z's American Gangster are nominated for best rap album. They came out in 2007. Radiohead's In Rainbows(best album of 2007. I messed up by giving it to Graduation) is nominated for album of the year....in 2009..... Very dumb.

Oh and lets not forget about the two most anticipated albums of the year which happened to be the two hugest let downs. Tha(not the) Carter 3 and Viva La Vida. Both nominated for album of the year. WHY? I'm gonna say this. Wayne is a decent rapper. He is by no means the best alive, and he never will be. The Carter 3 was wack. And as soon as he go white america's attention, he gets 8 grammy nods. Very dumb. Viva la Vida was by far the worst Coldplay record out of all 4. BY FAR. They shouldn't even be nominated.

But like always, I will hope for the best. Danger Mouse is nominated for producer of the year which he should get seeing as 2 of his 3 albums he produced in 2008 were in magazines top 50 albums. I dont get why the Black Keys were in there instead of Gnarls Barkley. Not to mention, Beck's Modern Guilt and The Odd Couple by Gnarls Barkley are both nominated for Alternative album of the year. So if Danger Mouse doenst get it then I'm moving to Norway. haha. not really.GO DANGER MOUSE!!!
