I think the opposite is true. The racism is glaring because if Beyonce can’t win the award as a black woman, then who can? Someone with zero other grammy’s wouldn’t be expected to win. It’s that apparently, no black women, even one of the most honored, can win that highlights the gate keeping and bias. While black…

You would be correct, but bear in mind, you’re dealing with an idiot.

Again surprised of you guys always jumping into attacking the messenger rather than talking about the message. I also think that Sophie is crucial for the modern pop shape, and I would have love this comment section to celebrate her and her legacy.

Yep. Kinja was Nick Denton’s “greatest” “innovation:” a 100% troll-friendly platform.

No black woman has won the best album grammy in the century. It’s precisely because Beyonce has so many awards and produced such incredible work, but still can’t get past the racists to win the bast album that makes the bias so blatant. So no, I don’t feel bad for Beyonce (and yes, she’s still a shithead for the whole…

Honestly, this is modern AV Club. You might as well ask why the tide comes in wet. It’s likely a legitimate error as much as anything else. 

Just going to drop in and say “Immaterial” by SOPHIE is really quite good.

I get why people dislike Grimes personally, but like why are letting that prevent them from dunking on the Grammys

His music career basically got started by managing Destiny’s Child. Beyonce joined the group in its previous incarnation before he became professionally involved in music. Prior to that he sold medical equipment.

You go on a date with Grimes

Anti white racism is serious! It’s the reason we only have 81 percent of CEO chairs and have only had all of the presidencies except two terms. That’s a major issue that should be brought up every time transphobia is mentioned because in the end it’s ALL ABOUT US. 

I can’t think about Grimes without thinking about what a disappointment she is...and this was probably like something where they were at a stage where the nominations had already been done and she’s wrong, because she ain’t great with rules (see her interpretation of Communism as “nobody working”)...but this sounds…

Gonna push back against the idea that Grimes is evil or hot.

Are you fucking kidding me? Renaissance is all straight bangers, no filler.

Renaissance absolutely is.

Clarity is a great album too

Lol the bigot is triggered hard by this one. Die mad, ‘phobe.

Came here to write the same thing. Unholy is one of those songs I just switch away from as soon as it comes on but Kim Petras has some bops, and Coconuts in particular should have achieved more chart success

I actually liked Freaky well enough when I randomly watched it, but I wish they’d picked a different name, because every single time I see or hear the title, all I can think is, “they probably wanted to name it Freaky Friday the 13th, but got stopped by lawyers so they just went with Freaky.”

She’s right tho that there were a LOT of solid women-fronted (or all-women) groups putting out rock-along music at the time. Some turned out to be one-hit (ish) wonders but piled up together make for a solid playlist. Elastica, L7, Cranberries, Belly, Breeders, Portishead, Hole, Cardigans, Garbage, Hole, Bikini Kill,…
