As much as I hate to say it…
February 9th, 2009
the Grammy performance by Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I, Lil Wayne, and M.I.A. last night was solid as a rock. The whole black and white thing was fresh, the live band suited their diverse styles well, and the orchestration and everything seemed flawless. Those who know me know WELL that I am NOT a fan of Kanye nor Wayne, but I don’t mind listening to the others – unless T-Pain or excessive Autotune and shitty loops are on the track. This shows that these artists are PERFORMERS to me, not necessarily how I like to consume all of my music. But two thumbs up for this nonetheless. Good job, it does show that hype and bright lights sell albums and will win you rap album of the year.
