Respect for Artistry



After Beck won album of the year at the Grammys awards, Kanye West claims that the voices in his head told him to go up on stage. People in the crowd were also screaming for him to do what he did a few years ago to Taylor Swift. West said that all he wanted to do was make a joke about the last time but he decided to back to his seat because he didn't want to take away from Beck's moment.

In an interview during the show,West expressed that the Grammys doesn't respect artistry and always gives the awards to those who truly don't deserve it. He also felt that Beck should have gave his award to Beyonce, who he felt should've really won the award for best album. Kanye himself has given away many Grammy awards to those he felt deserved it. 

I'm indifferent about about who should've actually won the award because I think they're both great artists but I do agree with the above picture that in a musical sense, Beck is more artistic, creative and put in more handwork for producing and writing his own music. I disagree with Kanye, that he should've gave his award away, Beck earned his award. Maybe sometimes it isn't all about who is the most popular but who put in the most creativity.

  1. I completely agree with this! Kanye may actually have good intentions but for someone in such a spotlight he lacks a certain amount of tact. Maybe we'll see Beck and Beyonce make a hit single out of the situation and perhaps then Kanye will be pleased.
