Hmmmmm Where's Kanye?


So Mr.West was of course nominated for 6 Grammy awards this year but did the Grammys black ball him? according to yahoo.com West's first three albums were all finalists for Album of the Year, but his fourth release, 808s & Heartbreak, was passed over for it. (It didn't even get a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. West's first three albums won as Best Rap Album, but this one was slotted in the pop field.) West's smash "Heartless" was also passed over for Record of the Year, despite covers by The Fray and Kris Allen, which boosted its profile. West clearly seems to have been hurt by his widely-criticized rudeness toward Swift at the Video Music Awards.

I have to say I thought 808's and Heartbreaks was one of THEE best Rap/R&B/Pop/heart-felt albums of this year! Heartless was one of those amazing records,and had a chorus that would get stuck in your head for hours when you heard it. Of Course Mr.West had a very very controversial year but that doesn't mean the body of work that he produced wasn't worthy of Album of the year! SAU is this fair to look over someone for a Grammy not because of their work but because of their year as a whole?
