Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on the…

The 2017 Grammys may as well have been named “the Adele show.”

The powerhouse diva, whose 2015 & 2016 were already monstrous in sales and critical acclaim, is kicking of 2017 with similar treatment thanks to a Grammy sweep that saw her nab “Album of the Year,” “Song of the Year,” and “Record of the Year” honors.  In fact, she won every single award she was nominated for at tonight’s ceremony.

The night may have had a few performance hiccups, but all of that was overshadowed when the singer/songwriter took to the stage to accept the night’s most anticipated golden gramophones and, in a twist, even dedicated two of the wins to her idol Beyonce…

After the conclusion of the 59th annual Grammy Awards Rihanna‘s faithful fan group, The Navy, is in absolute uproar.  Rightfully so, if you ask us, as the Bajan beauty’s critically acclaimed set, ‘Anti,’ entered the race with a whopping 8 nominations.  Not only that, the album and/or its content were believed to be clear frontrunners in at least half of those categories.

Sadly, by the night’s end, that’s all the opus remained:  nominated.  That’s right, despite birthing one of 2016’s biggest hits, ‘Work,’ breaking streaming records, and even yielding some of the singer’s most artistically mature offerings to date, the album was completely snubbed.

Leave it to Rih though to even fail in style.  See what we mean inside:

Twitter is having an absolute field day with singer Joy Villa thanks to her jaw-dropping ensemble unveiled on tonight’s Grammy’s red carpet.

It’s clear she wanted attention and, if these Twitter responses are anything to judge by, she may have gotten more than she bargained for:

As we reported here, rapper Big Sean‘s fourth LP, ‘I Decided,’ was on course to top the Billboard 200 if predicted figures were to be believed.

The follow-up to 2014’s chart-topping ‘Dark Sky Paradise,’ Sean’s latest set – featuring the Urban hits ‘Bounce Back’ and ‘Moves’ – has moved critics to wield thumbs up across a number of print and online outlets.  And, if the final figures afforded the project are any indication, it looks poised to replicate that success commercially.
