He continued, “Yea yea my 2013 efficiency on the Grammys was absolute shit. Technical difficulties, blah blah. Thanks for the reminder. Very a lot appreciated. Fuck that efficiency although. You suppose that is why I saved my work out of the Grammy course of this yr? Do not you suppose I’d’ve wished to play the present to ‘redeem’ myself if I felt that means?
In actuality, I really wished to take part in honoring Prince on the present, however then I figured my finest tribute to that man’s legacy can be to proceed to be myself out right here and to achieve success. Profitable a TV award doesn’t christen me profitable. It took me a while to be taught that. I purchased all my masters again final yr within the prime of my profession, that’s profitable. Blonde offered 1,000,000 plus with out a label, that’s profitable. I’m younger, Black, gifted, and impartial.. That’s my tribute.
I’ve really been tuning into CBS round this time of yr for some time to see who will get the highest honor, and what’s actually not ‘nice TV’ guys? [Taylor Swift’s] 1989 getting Album of the Yr over [Kendrick Lamar’s] Pimp to a Butterfly. Fingers down one of the ‘defective’ TV moments I’ve seen. Consider the individuals. Consider those who’d fairly watch choose performances out of your program on YouTube the day after as a result of your present places them to sleep. Use the outdated gramophone to truly pay attention bro, I’m top-of-the-line alive. And for those who’re up for a dialogue in regards to the cultural bias and normal nerve injury the present you produce suffers from, then I’m all for it. Have a superb night time.”
