Will The Grammys Reward His Confidence In Graduation?
Feb04
Cool article from MTV.com:
Kanye West was so confident in his and his crew’s chances of continually winning those coveted golden gramophones every February, he made an anthem about it a couple of years ago called “Grammy Family.”
“It’s something we can stunt with,” G.O.O.D. Music artist and “Grammy Family” co-star Consequence laughed Friday. “Having those kinds of projects that get the critical acclaim and rewards from [the Recording Academy] is dope.”
“Hi, haters, I’m back off hiatus,” Kanye rapped in his verse. “I feel just like you, I mean even I hate us/ Turn the radio down, I mean every song?/ Yeezy got a vision that’s clearer than Evian.”
“I really believe I can take home that Album of the Year award”Of course, things have changed enormously for Kanye since his mother’s death in November. The MC hasn’t spoken to the press since then, although he recently completed a European tour and just announced its North American leg, and was recently seen on his blog playing Connect Four with Beyoncé and others. But the question on everyone’s mind is: Will this year’s Grammys be a bright light after his tumultuous recent months? Back in July, he spoke confidently to MTV News about his prospects.
“This album, Graduation, I been listening to it,” he told MTV News in July, almost two months prior to the LP’s much-hyped September 11 release-date showdown with 50 Cent’s Curtis. “I like it a lot. I really believe I can take home that Album of the Year award at the Grammys. I’ve won my awards, but they’ve always been a category: ‘hip-hop,’ ‘rap.’ I wanna win Song of the Year, Album of the Year. I wanna deliver this album.”
Kanye leads the 2008 Grammy nominations with eight, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, a category he’s nominated in twice
