Blogging the 2017 Grammys Category 17 – Best R&B Performance

Get You Daniel Caesar Featuring Kali Uchis
Distraction Kehlani
High Ledisi
That’s What I Like Bruno Mars
The Weekend SZA

Out of this bunch I’d have to go with Bruno Mars. I don’t like anything about any of the other nominees. Daniel Caesar has some embarrassing lyrics, Kehlani is really lame, Ledisi has better songs on her album, and SZA is useless. She’s be much happier if she stopped boinking that other lady’s man. Hey Grammys, why so many variations on the same category?

Blogging the 2017 Grammys Category 19 – Best R&B Song

First Began PJ Morton
Location Khalid
Redbone Childish Gambino
Supermodel SZA
That’s What I Like Bruno Mars

The best of these tunes has to be Redbone from Childish Gambino – there’s what I think is a Bootsy sample in there – but the tune sticks with me the most. Bruno’s song is ok – the best arranged of these songs. The PJ Morton song is not one the standouts from his record in my view, the Khalid is just so nerdy and whiney (and boring), and I don’t get SZA at all.

Free 6LACK 6LACK

This is one of the most boring records I’ve ever heard. I ask again, is this an effect of the opioid thing? Is everyone on downers? This gauze-laden slow reverb drenched half-assed music is making me insane. Wake up everybody!

“Awaken, My Love!” Childish Gambino

This one starts out like another sad sack slow record. What the hell is going on? Thank God Have Some Love breaks into an early Funkadelic groove – 2nd song in about the last 300 I’ve liked. Boogieman also gets a thumbs up. More cowbell! Are those Funkadelic drum samples? Sure sounds like it. Or Parliament – those are definitely samples. Yeah, Riot is a Funkadelic sample of Good to Your Earhole. No wonder I like this record. It’s all P-Funk samples. I’ll definitely go back and listen to this all the way through after the Grammypalooza subsides.

American Teen Khalid

Eh. I don’t like this kind of singing. Is this EMO R & B? What’s up with these whiney dudes? This has a big EDM influence. Not my thing, moving on.
Ctrl SZA

Let me tell you a secret. I’ve been bangin’ your homeboy while you were in Vegas. Slow, boring, boring and slow. There is a song called Drew Barrymore. This is terrible. Who started this crap? Who is everyone copying? The Weeknd? Can’t wait for everyone to move on.

Starboy The Weeknd

Oh my goodness – I think this is the guy everyone is copying. I wish these winey sad-sack folks would get married and settle down. The topics and the music – so boring. Slow, boring, poor me nonsense. “I just need a girs who gonna really understand.” If you’re this mopey on record what’s it like to be around you all the time? Are you mopey and sad? Might be the problem.

 

Blogging the 2017 Grammys Category 23 – Best Rap/Sung Performance

PRBLMS 6LACK

His girlfriend is mad at him, but he’s not worried because he got a new thing, and it’s all her fault. She wanted fame, he wanted someone who was stable. He’s upset she ordered steak when they went out to eat. Drinking eases his pain. He has real things to worry about, he ain’t worried about her. He has plenty of queens in his own town, all they need is drinking that dank. This is very slow. Not very interesting.

Crew Goldlink Featuring Brent Faiyaz & Shy Glizzy

She sees he has money and therefore she is interested in him. He’s not married. Ray-J is mentioned. Don;t you want to get with him? He is very talented at rhyming and other things. She invited in over but she saw he had a gun. She’s hispanic. He wants to make magic. She sees money all around him. Another slow song, not very interesting. Boring.

Family Feud JAY-Z Featuring Beyoncé

Jay-Z cooked some chicken when the restaurant closed. They’re watching the superbowl. Tupac had a nose ring. Being a billionaire is fun. Why are you drinking Perrier? Two Billionaires are better than one. He said midget, then apologised. Becky should leave him alone. He watched the Godfather, then talks about it for a while. Don’t have a Family Feud. Think Big. Bill Cosby and Al Sharpton. He doesn’t drink Dos Equis. Beyonce sings ‘Higher’ a lot. That’s pretty much it. You don’t need to listen to it now.

LOYALTY. Kendrick Lamar Featuring Rihanna

He thinks she is to die for. Or her anatomy, or something. Rhianna sang Loyalty. She would like him to make some fish. He’s a savage and a king. I have no idea what’s going on or what this is about. He wants to get higher. Loyalty. Don’t switch sides. The song is so slow. Boring.

Love Galore SZA Featuring Travis Scott

Long as they got love. She’s surprised he called after the things she said. Someone turned on the sprinkler hihat. She would like another Valium. That’s probably why the song is so slow. Why is he bothering her when he has another woman. She’s looking forward to the weekend, but he’s married. they do whatever they want, it don’t matter. She gets whatever she wants. It’s about love. She should have never let him hit it. She regrets it. Why are bothering him? You were the one who left. That’s about halfway through the song. I’m moving on with my life.
