50 Cent Lashes Out At Grammy Awards

50 Cent1

In a recent interview with MTV UK, rapper 50 Cent had many a critical word to say about the Grammy Awards.

When questioned about Beyonce and Taylor Swift receiving the most nominations, the G-Unit general said:

“Man, f*ck the Grammys!

I couldn’t care less about the Grammy Awards. It’ll be the Beyonce and Taylor Swift show.

I guess they’ll both be performing at the awards show, which means their record companies will be spending money to raise the production values of the entire show.

And when you spend that kind of money you’re supposed to get trophies.”

I’m trying to put aside the fact ol’ Curtis has been nominated 13 times at the Grammy’s, yet has never won, but I’m finding it oh-so- hard LOL. Besides him sounding a little bitter, if there’s one show in which nothing is a certain as to who wins or is even nominated, it’s the Grammy’s (just ask Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Jazmine Sullivan and many more). No sir…

Your thoughts?

    My advice for 50 is to go get his record sales up

  2. caroline December 7, 2009

    actually agree with rihanna HATEING sam for one, 5o jealous much?

  3. Imyourstar702 December 7, 2009

    I agree with 50 and i dont even like him or his wack ass music, lol

  4. Justin December 7, 2009

    He says it like the Grammy’s is this commitee of people who just decide what they want and call it a day. The voting committee is made up of his peers.

  5. Nik December 7, 2009

    I’m going to have to agree with 50. It almost seems like Columbia is paying some people off for Beyonce for sure. Not sure about Taylor tho

  6. caroline December 7, 2009

    BEYONCES DADDY BEEN PAYING PEOPLE TO PLAY HER RECORDS ON RADIO FOR YEARS, TEN GRAMMY NOMINATION WITH SONGS LIKE ‘PUT A RING ON IT’ ITS A GREAT PARTY SONG BUT GRAMMY NOMINATED ALBUM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! THE ARE LOSEING CRED FAST

  7. Shawty C December 7, 2009

    well damn 50 if you so jealous, wont you actually stop all this beef s*** and acually focus on your dying career lol…..If you actually look at the nominations they are all people who have had a great year in music

  8. amar December 7, 2009

    i agree 100%
    this is problem with awards shows the real artists never win because artists like beyonce etc win everything

    the real r and b legends at the moment are people like musiq,eric r, robin thick etc

  9. Kirk December 7, 2009

    LOL 50 needs to sit in a corner somewhere. @ Caroline, Does Daddy Knowles pay people to go to her concerts? Buy her albums? Pay other female artist to have little to none stage presence?

  10. kbelize December 7, 2009

    Taylor Swift got 8 nominations, Beyonce got 10? WTF is that suppose to mean? Does it mean their going to win ALL 10 of them? NO!

    I’ve seen Kanye, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Lil Wayne, S***, EVEN JILL SCOTT GOT 8-10 Nominations, but they didnt dominate the Grammys! Clearly, yall dont watch the Grammys! Sure, the Popular artists like Beyonce, Gaga, Taylor etc, will get alot of nods but, they are really being brought in for Ratings! Sure, they’ll probably clean up in THEIR GENRE(Country, Dance, Contemporary R&B/Pop) But thats about 2-5 the most! Thats it!

  11. dillpickle December 7, 2009

    Well. 50 does have a point ,even though he sounds a little bitter. The Grammy’s is a JOKE, now a days.

  12. keeping it real December 7, 2009

    50 and whoever else feels that with the 10 nominations that Beyonce recieved ,Taylor 8 and Lady GaGa 8 and so on, 1st Beyonce work very hard for all her nominations and she will well be desevered of all 10 if won and if not the 8 she will win. If Kanyee hadn’t act a damm fool, it would be Taylor who, Lady GaGa she is talented, so I can see her 8 nominations. I perfer Carrie Underwood over Taylor, she’s a better artist than Talyor. That sweet image that Taylor is projecting will enventually come to light and show the real over the sheet cut out the eyes that she really is. If Beyonce don’t come home with at least 8 if not all 10 than there’s a real gimick going on with the grammy’s now, because Beyonce really deserve that and much more because she work very hard for it. Yes Beyonce you deserves all the alcolades that’s coming your way.

  13. caroline December 7, 2009

    ACTUALLY NO, JAZY BUYS MOST OF BEYONCE’S TICKETS WHEN THEY ARE NOT SELLING OR SHE GIVES MOST OF THEM AWAY FOR FREE, IM SORRY ARE YOU HER S*** EATER?

  14. B. Mike December 7, 2009

    I’m on both sides. On one hand, I love me some Beyonce, but them childish lyrics and booty popping songs HARDLY warrant TEN Grammy nods. Please. But at the same time, 50 wack ass DEFINITELY don’t deserve no grammy. Music is so dead. Bring back the 90s dammit!

  15. jay December 7, 2009

    It’s a joke that 50 has never won a grammy for grod or even the massarace,The dude who runs this site knows s*** about music he hypes kelly rowland of all people up all the time yet he comes from the uk right? What about N Dubz?

    The amount of mixtapes,Album and artists this dude has given us some even for free deserves credit he is the greatest hiphop writer of all time remember jay z retired because of this dudes success.

  16. delroy December 7, 2009

    what about n-dubz there s***, do you really like them cos if u do mate go some where else for ur music fix

  17. Anonymous December 7, 2009

    I actually agree w/ 50 Cent. What about Keyshia Cole [[my fav. artists as always]], The Dream [[who wrote Single Ladies for Beyonce]], etc. N trust me there are more artists I just can’t think of, but they give the Grammys to who they want to. Beyonce’s dad pay them and whatnot. Artists like Keyshia has been nominated and others… who have been nominated [[and, Oh where’s at least 1 Whitney nod]] are underrated, so they don’t get much of the spotlight unlike Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc. who is overrated.

  18. okkk December 7, 2009

    The people on this website are so ignorant. The Grammy Nomination process is composed of people in the music industry. It would be the artist’s peers who are voting for (or against) them. It’s not Beyonce’s fault that her peers think her work warrants 10 nominations. And no one is getting paid by anyone to nominate her. Beyonce receives praise like no other from people in the industry who actually KNOW what real music, talent, hard work, and drive is. They’re the ones making it correct? I’ll take their opinion before any of you who think you can define REAL music.

  19. KO December 7, 2009

    Ppl may not think much of the lyrics to ‘Single Ladies’ but in terms of musical structure its genius. The Grammy’s look at more than just lyrics the structure also plays a part in it too. Beyonce’s voice creates the sings melody, without her singing the song is just a bunch of noise.

    And for the person who said the Grammy’s are losing credibility GTFO the Grammy’s will ALWAYS be credible. Remember MUSICIANS make up the commitee. If they didnt mean anything these singers wouldnt be moaning about not being nominated

  20. Monica December 7, 2009

    Fifty can do no wrong in my eyes. I love him.

  21. AWOLLUVA December 7, 2009

    On another note, am I the only one who thinks he’s lookin’ kinda s*** in that pic? Mmmhmmm… 😛

  22. Lauren December 7, 2009

    well he’s not wrong. plus did you know that beyonce’s dad is a grammy voter? 🙁

  23. Dane December 7, 2009

    If I am not mistaken, she is also nominated to Once in a Life time, Halo, At last…..and her album……And Grammy is not about the lyrcs its about what songs dominated ….. and their peers vote…..so go f*** urselfs….haters…

  24. Dawon December 7, 2009

    @ Caroline STFU!!! Dead @ you saying JAY Z buys her tickets when no one is buying them when clearly if you look at her youtube videos of her concerts the arenas are PACKED! Don’t be mad that your fav can’t do it!!!!! You make no sense at all.

    NONE OF YA’LL HATERS HAVE NO PROOF THAT BEYONCE’S FATHER PAYS THE RADIO OR WHOEVER TO PLAY HER SONGS. JUST GET OVER IT! SHE’S BETTER THAN YOUR FAV ARTIST AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY KNOWS THAT OTHERWISE SHE WOULDN’T BE GETTING ALL THESE ACCOLADES AND YOUR BITTER JUST LIKE FLOP 50 CENT IS. YA’LL PROBABLY RIHANNA STANS ANYWAY LMAO!!!!

  28. ty December 8, 2009

    I agree with 50 the grammy’s used to be about art and true talent that is usally not noticed by the masses, now everything is based on popularity. To all yall who say Beyonce is the hardest working female, stop it. Beyonce does not work harder than anyone else in the business, she just has the right people behind her. They are plenty of artists that can ” sing and dance” they just don’t have the right people behind them to give them exposure needed. Taylor Swift can barely hold a note but once her cuteness goes away so will her career.

  29. Joe December 10, 2009

    IF 50 FLOP WAS SMART HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE GRAMMY DEADLINE WAS OVER AT THE END OF AUGUST SO SINCE HE RELEASED HIS FLOP ALBUM AFTER AUGUST 30TH HE WASNT GONNA GET NOMNATIED ANYWAY…

  30. D December 11, 2009

    his record sales up ?….go check his discography lol

  31. Anne December 12, 2009

    PEOPLE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION BEFORE THEY COMPLAIN. Beyonce’s nominations are not just for Single Ladies. Two nominations are for Halo, 2 others are for the Album as a whole (in the General & RnB fields) and 2 others are for recordings on the Cadillac Records soundtrack (At Last & Once In A Lifetime). Don’t forget the Sasha Fierce album is 1/2 ballads. This lady works hard and released songs on two albums during the Grammy period to get those nominations. Sure, she has the fun dance songs like Single Ladies but she is versatile and is about more than just the booty shaking songs. She has a great voice and deserves her nominations.

    Bottom line is 50 has the highest selling debute. In 2003 he sold 11 million records and didnt win the Grammy for best new artist in 04! Thats robery
