Yet, even for as much as the Grammys had skewed and loaded nominations toward hip-hop – apparently more concerned about its image than about giving the awards to the acts most deserving them – the Grammys failed miserably at even that.Īwarding Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year – among seven awards total – to Bruno Mars was the most embarrassingly Grammy things it’s ever done, beating out its laughable presentation of Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Recording to Jethro Tull over Metallica in 1989. Everything about Sunday’s Grammy Awards pointed to how desperately it was seeking – what, exactly, approval? Validation? – from the hip-hop community, including the early mention from host James Corden that this year had the “most diverse nominees in Grammy history.”
