One again the Grammys was pop focused this year but the question is, has everything turned into pop? Kanye's latest album is all Pop music, T.I.'s Performance was a pop performance, and Jay-Z and coldplay's performance was straight up pop as well. One thing I can not seem to understand is how someone can win album of the year who is pretty much unknown? Robert Plank probably makes good music, but have you ever heard of the dude? I think Coldplay was robbed.
Ofcourse Weezy really came out on top when it comes to do with Hip Hop and J-Hud won best R&B album of the year, but tell you the truth I only heard of one song on her ablub which is Spotlight. My favorite performance of the night was the "Swagga Like Us" joint with Jay, Weezy, T.I.and Kanye". Those are probably the biggest names in Hip Hop today. What I found ridiculous was MIA on stage dancing around when that was her due date. It just shows, that she is crazier than I thought she was.
