    @ B. Dot Although I love Outkast to the point of being nearly a Stan, I get the feeling that them being a Hip Hop group to win album of the year was an anomaly. Like Neo in the Matrix or something. Hopefully i’ll be proved wrong in my lifetime.

  8. Real Talk says:

    Steve needs to stop!

    sounds like steve needs a job broadcasting his resume and what he does

  15. Real Deal says:

    how hard is it to accept that the album that wins album of the year actually deserves it? i never heard it so i’m not going to hate on it for no reason. but maybe it won because it actually deserved it.

  16. Van says:

    How ignorant does someone have to be to argue for Justin Bieber over Esperanza Spalding?

    Pretty damn ignorant.

    I’m glad so so so she won.

    Pay attention kids, you don’t have to be all that intelligent to make a lot of money.

    Fuck you Steve, and the horse that rode in on you.

    Bitch Nigga Please

    I don’t begrudge anyone their right to cash in and make money…but clearly, Steve Stoute is off-base. If anything, he represents the old-rule power structure that enslaves artists and has a parasitical relationship with artists and their brands. That NY Times letter sounded like a big @ss advertisement for his firm’s services…I tell ya…some real sinister shit, under the guise of ‘furthering progression’. A bunch of nonsense really…and anybody that bought that crock of BS he was selling, there’s a big bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you too. Steve is an executive…last I checked, he’s niether written, produced, drawn, spoke, sang, rapped, sculpted, or done ANYTHING of any artistic merit. He’s been a guy that HAS profited off of other’s art tho….so at the end of the day, again…Steve…go on ahead and get ya paper…I see the pimp moves you executing…but please…sit down, and have a big steaming hot cup of STFU. Continue moving in silence as you should.

    100.

    So because an album sells a particular amount of records, whatever the genre, it’s entitled to be considered a great album? There are other factors that are more important and vital, when deciding if an album is solid enough to win at the grammys. This has nothing to do with hip-hop being neglected. Recovery, whether you people want to admit it or not, contained a lot more pop records than Eminem’s previous albums. Is that a reason to not like it? no. But what I’m saying is that if you thoroughly analyze the album, it lacks any type of innovation and suffers from cliche beat selection. It didn’t work as a cohesive unit. but most audiences never even listen to full albums anymore, so the success of that album relied on the singles, that were successful. Again, those singles weren’t as impacting or as challenging as other Eminem singles. This entire debate is irrelevant because the grammys are irrelevant. living in a time where people are being exposed to all differnt kinds of music each day, the attempt to try to hust focus on albums that appeal to the “mainstream” demographic just shows how out of touch the people over at the grammys and Steve Stoute really are.

    gayle hasn’t heard of arcade fire because she’s black.

    they might be the biggest alternative/rock band on the planet right now.

  20. […] Well, after Steve Stoute released his letter to the Grammy Board about it’s voting process, the group who won Album of The Year at this years awards, Arcade Fire struck back. Their manager, Scott Rodger responds to the band’s win and their double performance at the awards two weeks ago. “Arcade Fire deserved the win this year. They made the best album. If the award was names ‘Album Sales Of The Year’ award, there would be no discussion. Stoute’s letter was nice piece of self publicity. Did he see Kanye’s tweets when we won and the praise he gave us?? He needs to tune in. Eminem made a big selling album but it was far from being his best work. Katy Perry made a big pop record that simply didn’t have weight or credibility. Gaga’s repackage, great album but it was a repackage of the main release. I think everyone felt it was going to be Lady Antebellum’s moment having won 5 out of 6 awards to that point. We all felt that way too. “I’m proud of this band and what they have achieved,” he continues. “We didn’t lobby any organisation for this nor did the band play the game. We paid our own overhead to do the event, thus the lack of on stage gimmicks. No label picked up the tab. “Arcade Fire are now one of the biggest live acts in the world. It’s not all about record sales. It’s about making great records and it’s about building a loyal fan base. The band make great albums, they’re not a radio driven singles band. On top of that, they own their own masters and copyrights and are in complete control of their own destiny. Things couldn’t be better.” Meanwhile, Steve Stoute appeared on The Gayle King Show to speak on the letter that started this debate.

  21. Thank Me Hater says:

    If this gets to Oprah it’s finished. lol

  22. Thank Me Hater says:

    @B.Dot LOL was Outkast’s album really all that hip hop? Be serious

  23. Thank Me Hater says:

    One final note. Just cause you think an artist is more talented doesn’t in fact mean……THEY ARE MORE TALENTED. It’s all opinion. Thousands of people say Spalding is more talented than Bieber (I’m on of them actually) but MILLIONS say Bieber is more talented. Guess who’s right…..NOBODY!! It’s all opinion. Let’s try to be objective here.

  24. Master P's Theatre says:

    LOL!!! At that grown man who phoned in and called Justin Beber “Mr. Beber.” What a faggot!!!

    Akaka problem solved @ grassroots. Draft 1st lady or Ms. Winfrey to the race. RFK said Why not? Let Mrs. O. or Ms. O say yea or nay. If Mrs.O is a firm NO, then we need Ms. O. Either would be great and would bring the MUCH NEEDED CHANGE in the prevail world view here in Hawaii. Now I may be a army of one, let’s see what WE THE PEOPLE THINK.
