Video After The Jump
Legendary West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg took to his Instagram account on Tuesday, Febrary 10, to rip the Grammy Awards for not giving hip hop it's proper respect.
The Doggfather posted a photo of Macklemore and a list of well known rappers, who together had less than the three trophies Macklemore won in 2014.
"Fuck the Grammys, we need a hip hop show for real niggaz n real mcs," Snoop wrote.
Snoop was actually agreeing with a report by Complex entitled "The Grammys Don't Know Shit About Rap."
The publication cited Iggy Azalea's four 2015 nominations, noting that they were more than MC Lyte, Foxy Brown and Lil Kim combined in rap categories. The Australian import even had more rap category nominations than Lauryn Hill.
In the group category, The Black Eyed Peas have won more rap Grammys that A Tribe Called Quest, UGK, the Geto Boys and Gang Starr combined.
Drake has 22 nominations, but only 1 win. A female emcee hasn't been given a rap Grammy in a decade.
To top that off, legendary rappers like Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, Ghostface Killah and Rakim have never even been nominated.
We'll have to agree with Complex's assessment of the Grammy Awards. What's your take?
