Honestly, truly, who exactly is a J Cole fan? The dude is worth $100 Million, has billions of streams, but we are scratching our heads looking for someone who stans for the dude.

Nope, they're still canceled. But at least we can possibly say that they're getting.....better? A Black-owned production company handled this year's ceremony and the difference is startling. More hip-hop, less "Grammy moments." Even with this, the ceremony is still rife with supremacy. Case in point, Nas winning his first Grammy after 25 years, and Beyonce winning multiple awards but no Album of the Year nod. We see you. So the Grammy's are at least more tolerable this time around, but they still have a ways to go. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
