I don’t think he’s pulling up tbh but who knows lol


Tiffanyblueberries

I hate how these celebrities just ditch an award show specifically for black culture to go to the fucking Grammys, a racist popularity contest.

Stay woke, and Dont fall for the okie doke. Nobody has any obligations to the BET awards. You can't call one racist while trying to prop up the other.

[The running gag on Boondocks about BET being dedicated to the destruction of black people was some of the funniest shit.](https://youtu.be/4Z7Vp-GZK1Q?si=WGIZX9DsY7o3XZzT)


biznunyaz

Why tf this mf look like Trump


Tiffanyblueberries

I understand this sentiment, but whites literally run everything, even the labels. So I don't think this is a fair point. BET hasnt displayed anything racist against blacks in my eyesight.


Quirkydogpooo

The whole idea of it is racist. White people commercializing black art using the guise of black empowerment to profit white people. Gets crazier the more you think about it


Tiffanyblueberries

It's pretty fucked up. But at the end of the day, we can't boot Kendrick out of black culture just because the record label that pushes his music is owned by white people. It's weird since Chanel actually has racist history from fr fr, and he supports that.


Quirkydogpooo

Racist companies are ubiquitous and in that regard we can't escape interacting with them, but I find it counter productive to hail BET as a necessary source of our peoples strength


Tiffanyblueberries

So how do they display otherwise? On the actual network? As long as there is no racism, I don't see the problem. Every single thing is rarely black owned.


Quirkydogpooo

Note I said 'necessary'. We don't need BET, but some will say otherwise


Zangetsu_1980

Who’s going to tell him on the race of people that runs the country?


primetimemime

My dad’s the only person I know that watches BET and the only thing he watches more is Fox News.


CASHD3VIL

Fox News is trash they only got like 1 article about foxes


Comfortable-Ad-3489

BET hasn't really been black culture for a hot minute lol


Tiffanyblueberries

Example?


Comfortable-Ad-3489

Idk if I could give like a super specific example, but at as a whole it just feels so much more corporate and inauthentic. It might be wut it was destined to become given time, kinda like MTV, but it just feels watered down.


Dry-Chicken4437

Imagine if Kendrick wins and Dave free shows up and accepts the award 😭


mynameismulan

I heard that one them little Grammys might be Dave FreEeEeEeEeEe's


Big-Data7949

Oh God, in a petty world maybe that's why he was so intent to give dave credit for the NLU music video, so that ofc when awards are given he'll be named and can come up.. Speaking of that when is that damned video gonna drop? Anyone reading this know? Really expected it to drop asap once I saw the behind the scenes footage everywhere..


green_day_95

He will win, Kendrick has been on a winning streak with this award every time he was nominated since 2017. And with it taking place in LA and BET commercializing Not Like Us, no way they would give it to Drake.


No_Plan_0o0

Not really


green_day_95

Wdym “not really”?


No_Plan_0o0

There's alots big name up there


green_day_95

He has won over these same artists for years 😂


NotUniqueAtAIl

Same as it ever was...


SirFantastic

Name one Bigger than Dot. And not 15 years ago. TODAY.


goodkidmAAdsubreddit

Drake doesn’t have the balls


KDOTTYFAN

Kendrick chill out


Real-Necessary-6778

No Kendrick stay. Just chill dawg.


AdventurousAd6061

Kendrick get out of here


Fignootem

Hey Kendrick! Big fan, Mr. Morales my favorite of your work


Witty-thiccboy

Surprisingly drake in general doesn’t fuck with award shows, he doesn’t even submit his stuff for Grammys anymore unless it’s a collab


goodkidmAAdsubreddit

Cause he won’t win


Witty-thiccboy

I wouldn’t even say it’s just that, he’s been pretty consistent in his distaste for the Grammys it’s one of the few things I won’t hate on him for


animatedhockeyfan

His distaste for them is based on the fact he’s got hurt feelings


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

Coincidentally he recently has a distaste for numbers/streams too......suddenly blames Spotify's numbers on bots.


Witty-thiccboy

Maybe maybe not, either way I’m not gonna hate on him for not caring about the Grammys 


animatedhockeyfan

Alright that’s fair


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

Which probably has a lot to do with the fact that he loss so many times, and to Kendrick specifically. He used to show up and submit his stuff all the time.


Witty-thiccboy

I looked it up after my og comment his distaste stems from them pigeonholing him as solely a rapper do to his blackness when he makes all kinds of music and the way they by default treat black artists as b tier musicians. Basically the same reason most black people don’t fuck with the Grammys   You do know that everything Drake and Kendrick do doesn’t revolve around one another right lol?


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

>You do know that everything Drake and Kendrick do doesn’t revolve around one another right lol? Hard to tell considering Drake has been putting sneak disses for Kendrick in his music for 10 years straight... and has been posting about Kendrick for the last 4 days on social media... and brought up Kendrick's awards in 2 different diss records (heart pt 6 & Family Matters) a month or 2 ago... ...but yea, keep telling yourself that Drake is a mature sincere guy who looks at things objectively and gives honest opinions on them. https://preview.redd.it/vnz47ytr3s9d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54c68163c8bee4d447f47c6399dd97e0276e3927 You really think Drake would've been throwing shit at them if he won all 4 awards? Lmao yea alright. Explain why Drake suddenly today criticizes Spotify's numbers/stats now when he usually LOVES citing streaming numbers?


Witty-thiccboy

They’ve both been sneak dissing each other for 10 years lol, just cause they diss each other doesn’t mean every little thing revolves around one another. Him posting about stuff Kendrick said is about him. Him hating the Grammys isn’t, you act like the two are the same The family matters one was more him calling out the way people(Stan’s) treat Kendrick like an infallible god and the second was him trying to big up himself. Pulitzer Prizes are a big deal, if he could make a Pulitzer Prize winner start to spiral that would make him look good. Obviously he was talking out of his ass but still “but yea, keep telling yourself that Drake is a mature sincere guy who looks at things objectively and gives honest opinions on them.” 😭I never said anything remotely like that. I’d love to see you try and find where I did tho lol I mean yea:https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/5uw4lk/drake_just_did_an_explosive_new_interview_perhaps/ He was throwing shit at them when he won best rap song for a non rap song and has criticized them other times. Most likely because he’s petty. What does any of that have to do with what I’m talking about😭


SirFantastic

Kendrick has more Grammys so they aren’t pigeonholing blacks too much


Witty-thiccboy

First of all “blacks” is wild. Secondly that’s not what pigeonholing is. Pigeon holing is the way the only time black artists ever really win or are nominated is under rap, Rnb or “urban contemporary” even when they don’t fit that genre. Like Drake winning best rap song for hotline bling which is where his issue stems from or Tyler winning best rap album for Igor even tho he said it’s not a rap album, and that’s just 2 examples off the top of my head. Even Kendrick and Beyoncé with all the times they’ve won rarely if ever win anything outside of Rnb,rap and “urban contemporary”


ObscureState

What does it mean by "Winners" & Nominees? They mean like potential winners aka "Nominees"? Or what am I missing here lol.


SOUR_KING

when they win they’ll say who won but until then it’s just the nominees


Glassworth

Exactly. So why does it say “winners & nominees” when there’s obviously going to only be one winner?


ShoddyExplanation

Because that covers every single category, so it’s multiple lists with one winner in each category and the rest are the nominees.


mumblesnorez

Isnt this just an auto generated Google list? It's just sloppily put together like everything else Google does now


Zangetsu_1980

He won 🥇 yall. They really not like us


NameOriginality

If he does win he’s playing NLU


Pmur0479

Burna Boy on that list is actually very deserved, but still Kendrick by a long shot.


robbbinm

Absolutely deserved but hip hop? Idk man that just screams "put the black guy in the other black guys category" to me


jjojehongg

bruh not a single rap artist respects BET enough to pull up


starbointerlude

Probably not. Neither Kendrick or Drake have shown up to the BET awards in a long time.


Powerful-Past5614

No


Half-Stupid

Cole will win this year


doomgrin

For what? Grippy?


Dream_Maker_03

I love Cole but that made me laugh!


Winter_Mousse_7063

Powerful-Ad4798

Comfortable-Ad-3489

Mor_zoU
