Hey There

I feel you on Soulja Boy - just seeing that nomination made my head hurt.

Phaorohe Monch (sorry if I spelled the name wrong - rushing to get out of work) can't even get his album promoted properly for it to go double platinum, but this dude gets 2 Grammy nominations.

SMH all around

And maybe I'm slow, but "Best Urban/Alternative Performance" is something I've never heard of in my life - I think it Grammy Committee decided this was the "where can we put these outside of the box, yet talented negroes without upsetting the status quo" category.

Yet its the one I'm most amped about. * shrugs *

WTF! at Soulja Boy even being nominated!!
They couldn't even be bothered to use his real name as the "songwriter." SMDH...
I don't bother watching or caring about the Grammys, haven't for a long long time.
I was just interested to see what Mary(DJ Fusion) had to say. I am appalled that they have had to break the nominations down into all these gotdamn categories. I'm glad to see people like Ledisi, Raheem, Dwele, Me'shell and Jill finally getting some recognition, but still, it's too damn bad they had to create new categories for them.

What Up Florida,

Yeah, the Grammy's have been boring as all get out for a minute, but there were enough folk to get excited about for me to write this up (and a slow work day or 2 helped out a bit).

Alice Smith should win, but I dunno - her music is pretty fly. For the main lady underdog though, I have to run with Leidsi since her album is CRAZY and I had to damn near hit people upside the head with them to hear the joint.

Chrisette Michelle leads a close second - I just hope that Def Jam just regulates her to just "hook girl" status since she has so much more talent.

I'm pretty much i2i with you on this list but to be honest I haven't been excited about the Grammy Awards since I was in high school. I had no idea Alice Smith got a nomination--kudos to her.
