So… one day last week, I’m mindin’ my own business on Twitter, shootin’ the shit and whatnot. Suddenly, folk start talkin’ about the nominations for this year’s BET Awards. Now of course, I have no interest in seein’ the awards this year (especially after last year’s bullshit), but I go to check these nominees out anyway, right…
There’s three things I came away from it with: A) There’s no need for a Best Female Hip-Hop Artist category anymore, since there’s only one that’s been slightly relevant in the last year, B) Justin Bieber is the new face of blue-eyed soul (?), and C) R&B and Hip-Hop groups are at an all-time low. Any time The New Boyz (who have a total of one hit), Dirty Money (who haven’t dropped an album), and Young Money (who’s actually just a buncha solo artists who made an album together) are up for it… I guess all you gotta do is be a group to get into that category nowadays.
