The highest bastion of American music honors nominated K Dot for 11 of their awards
yesterday, more than any other artist. It was also more than he’s ever
been nominated for during his career combined up until this point, and
it’s all thanks to his most recent album.
What’s funny is that it’s the same academy that snubbed Kendrick
of actually winning the honors just two years ago, presumably because
either the judges felt the album wasn’t commercial enough or they just
weren’t hip.
Regardless, it seems that the Grammy voters are coming around and perhaps you should too. I know, I know, “King Kunta” and “i” aren’t as fun to dance around to during shows as “Money Trees,” “m.A.A.d city” and “Backseat Freestyle.” But
you know what? That’s the great part. It’s another leaf on the Kendrick
Lamar tree you can pick when you’re feeling more vigilant, or even
march to during a rally for yet another innocent or slightly troubled
youth gunned down by those supposed to be protecting us.
