Eh we got ghetto rap.
Yep, and the Grammys and Billboard celebrate it now.
WAP cannot be played on radio uncensored yet there it was getting recognized.
Adults only party records go back to the 1920s and 30s (even Sons the Pioneers made one) but they never were celebrated by the music industry. Blowfly and Rudy Ray Moore will never get their awards for inspiring generations of rappers.
And “new artist of the year 2020” was killed in February 2020 so he is NOT going to show much promise as a new artist who will grow and only get better.
Time was the industry suits pulled out of “punk” when the Sex Pistols self-destructed after 1 album (band broke up, murder, suicide).
Now the industry WANTS immortal (and eternally young) artists who’s catalogs they can sell for generations (it seems those around Amy Winehouse TRIED to push her over the edge and celebrate her life as a trainwreck).
