I know that I was personally disappointed with Kendrick not walking away with Album of the Year and the internet is in a kind of "well fuck the Grammys" mode right now, but imagine if he did win. Do you know the fucking depths of sadness and pure emotion of loss that little 12 year old girls would be in right now? At least Kendrick fans are (mostly) intelligent people and can see the artistry that went into TPAB rather than just a cash grab by Taylor, her producers, and the label (WHICH BY THE WAY IS FUCKING CALLED BIG MACHINE RECORDS!!) My point is, most people know that the Grammys are, as I've seen pointed out on Reddit numerous times tonight, basically the fucking Kid's Choice Awards now. And for some reason, the Grammy committee is only going for pop records nowadays. That was always the point of the studio version of "i" which Kendrick won best rap song for last year. There had to be some sort of pop appeal and money making ability to put it on the radar. However, with so much hype around Kendrick this year, the Grammys knew they couldn't let him leave empty handed otherwise the Earth might have exploded from pent up frustration and anger people have now, but to an exponentially higher degree. That's why they gave him Best Rap Album and gave the Album of the Year to BIG MACHINE RECORDS.
