Beyonce si Sam Smith au fost, de departe, favoritii premiilor Grammy de anul acesta, iar nou-venita Iggy Azalea a reusit sa stranga 4 nominalizari, insa comunitarea rap nu pare deloc impresionata de acest succes. Cine au fost marii castigatori ai celei de-a 57-a editie a Premiilor Grammy?

 

Atat Sam Smith cat si Beyonce au pierdut trofeul pentru Best Album in fata rockerului Beck, in timp ce King B a plecat acasa cu premiul pentru Best R&B Performance – Drunk in Love, in timp ce Pharrell a primit premiul Grammy pentru Best Pop Solo Performance si Best Music Video, asa ca rapperita Iggy Azalea n-a plecat cu nimic acasa, marii castigatori ai serii la categoriile rap fiind Kendrick Lamar si Eminem. Evident, Kanye West a avut ceva de comentat cand Beyonce nu a primit trofeul pentru Album of te Year, asa ca aproape iar s-a urcat pe scena, cum a facut in urma cu cativa ani cand Taylor Swift a primit un premiu in defavoarea lui Bey. 

Evident, rapperul a mai avut ceva de adaugat dupa acest moment, in care Beyonce si Jay Z l-au privit stupefiati: Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you\’re disrespectful to inspiration. And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place.
