Ep.44 - You Think I Give A Damn About A Grammy?

<p>The Grammys have been &amp; gone and it's yet another year of disappointment. </p><p>But this year feels different. Not only can the Recording Academy not recognise Hip-Hop like it's successfully done for decades, but now it's not even recognising Hip-Hop artists that explicitly say their work isn't Hip-Hop. But hey, black= Hip-Hop/R&amp;B/Jazz, right? And let's not even start with "URBAN"...</p><p>So what is the problem? And more importantly, what are the solutions? Should Hip-Hop plead for better representation &amp; categorisation? Or should they all band together, say "Fuck The Grammys" and not submit their work?</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (1:32)<br>Topic Intro - (17:50)<br>The statistical relationship between Hip-Hop &amp; The Grammys - (21:01)<br>Why does Hip-Hop still attach itself to The Grammys? - (27:41)<br>Charlie rant - (36:11)<br>Ben contextualises - (42:19)<br>Potential solutions - (50:20)<br>Ben's morality question - (1:05:31)<br>Lighter Note - (1:11:30)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
