Geez at Who is Beck trending on Twitter right now. I mean...google is right there.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Sorry for the lateness due to West coast replay but Beyonce looking/looked fine!!!

 

[jbug617]

Kanye going on the Grammys on E. Said Beyonce deserved to win and talking about the Grammys better respect the real artists.

And I agree with him.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

What was that Sam smith bulllshit all night

 

[Crud]

And I agree with him.

BECK IS REAL AND HAS BEEN HERE.

BECK IS REAL AND HAS BEEN HERE.

Who?

hew?

 

[harSon]

Next year they'll probably give Iggy Azalea a lifetime achievement award in Hip Hop

 

[Crud]

Who?

I understand what Ye is saying but I would not be so upset about it. They choose Beck. Simple.

 

[Kusagari]

LMFAO at that Ye E interview.

Dude seriously was going to fight for Bey's honor again.

 

[Servbot24]

All that shit drives me insane. I hate Mumford and Sons and everything under its umbrella.

They're possibly the worst band alive.

Sure there are plenty of bands that are worse at making music than them, but they're all more or less harmless. Nickleback never really hurt anyone - we just point and laugh and carry on.

Mumford have actually poisoned music itself. It's absolutely vile what they've done to us. They've corrupted one of America's few and finest true home grown exports and unleashed pure bile such as the Lumineers.

First off, Kanye sounds wack as fuck, still whining about who gets what, acting like these award shows aren't terrible, or that pop music isn't mostly garbage. Grown ass man, act like it. Secondly, is he saying Beck isn't a real artist?

 

[Floridian]

I'm more surprised actually because people thought it would boil down between Beyonce and Sam, and it was like out of nowhere Beck won. But then again, this is why these awards aren't fan-voted.

 

[robotrock]

Was this the Beck album released as sheet music?

Holy hyperbole.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Morning Phase actually won? Dope.

 

[amnesiac]

Naw, this was Morning Phase, his Sea Change-like album.

 

[nictron]

Morning Phase actually won? Dope.

I agree. Are there people who are actually upset about this?

 

[eudaemonic]

It's weird because I don't think of that album as rock but it was one of my favorite albums last year.

Paul McCartney enjoying ELO made me grin.

 

[Servbot24]

I agree. Are there people who are actually upset about this?

Beyonce is definitely a better album but all things considered, could have gone much worse.

 

[Floridian]

I agree. Are there people who are actually upset about this?

I don't think people are upset about it, I think they're more like "who is he" and his win caught some people off guard.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

I agree. Are there people who are actually upset about this?

I'm a huge fan of Sea Change so this pleases me.

wtf? You have a problem with roots/folk rock or something?

 

[blackaroni]

Anyone know what performance Taylor was rocking out to here? Pharell facial expression is hilarious.

I love folk rock.

I hate Mumford for bastardizing it.

too good

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

I think it's more like, people don't know him enough to be upset about it so it's weird.

For me, I just don't appreciate the smugness that's coming from people who are upset that people are questioning who he is, but acting as if everyone who was nominated owes something to him like he rolled out the red carpet to their careers. Like bish whet? That by far is the worst part of the trending topic.

it's less funny once you hear his silly ass ranting afterwards tho. The dude can make a great record sometimes but he's a clown.

There is zero excuse for this level of ignorance in the internet age. None. You can find out who Beck is in fifteen seconds. You can literally find out who Beck is in the time that it takes people to type out "Who is Beck?"

Admittedly, though, I just have a problem with this mentality among teens to ask who someone is, instead of actually taking the time to find out who they are. This has been going on for way too long.

The issue is that they aren't interested in finding out the answer to their question. What they really mean is that because they don't know who the person is, they must not be worth anything.

 

[Linius]

Great to see Beck win. Only interesting album nominated for best album for me. Never expected him to actually win it though.

Don't really get they nominated him for rock album too. There's nothing rock about that album at all. Oh well.

it's dismissive crap, really, they're just too cool to even google a thing. (although most probably do know, or did at least look him up but he isn't apart of their little bubbles therefore snark and claims of irreverence)

 

[CountAntonius]

Same. lol @ Beck winning being a bad thing cause he's apparently not an artist.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

it's nowhere near my album of that year but considering what we're working with here, it's not a bad decision.

I first learned about beck from sound shapes

And this is why "Real Music" fans aren't funny, lame and dry

Uh oh. I just remembered this.

The hive has been rattled.

While..... Real music fans are just so much damn funny.

Seriously though, no one really cares that Beck won. People are clowning about how irrelevant he is to people who are familiar with Michael Jackson, Prince, etc in the world who aren't some pedestal of pretentious artisty in the music business. If no one can relate to you, no one will care. That's how it works. His album may have been great, but really.... Sam Smith made an album about his ex.

 

[Helmholtz]

Totally forgot about that Beck album. It's actually a pretty nice listen, but I prefer Sea Change.
Cool that he won I guess!

 

[blackaroni]

Oh Kanye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E95bOqOIkjM

 

[TheAbsolution]

That's hilarious.

 

[Patapwn]

Oh Kanye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E95bOqOIkjM

I hope he's serious about all of that. The fact that this living novelty exists will keep my fires warm in this cold winter

Saw this on another forum, don't know if it's been posted on here yet.

I don't care how fake this chick is, I would be all over that.
