Rappers have had beef with the Grammy Awards dating back to 1989 when Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff decided to boycott the event after the awards show decided not to televise the rap category. It’s 2023, and Hip Hop royalty is still at odds with the Grammys.
It’s safe to say Snoop Dogg is easily one of the most accomplished hip hop artists alive, but even with that being said, Snoop has yet to win a grammy. 20 times the hip hop legend has been nominated for the prestigious award and zero times has he been the recipient. That’s crazy.
It has to open up the question; are the Grammy’s biased towards certain winners? Snoop of all people has every right to feel the way he does with his work being able to speak for itself. 20 nominations and no wins is pretty wild and anyone in that position would be upset.
Although any artist would love to take home the Grammy honor, it’s not the end all to be all for determining how successful one’s career was. Snoop was stamped off his Doggystyle alone. Will we ever see Snoop get a Grammy? Comment what you think below?
