Kanye West Wants Change At The Grammys; Stands Up For Future & Young Thug

The 58th Annual Grammy Awards took place a week and a half ago, but Kanye West must have just caught the taping. In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the #TLOP rapper voiced his concerns about the nominations, attendees and performances. 

Kanye began his latest rant by requesting a sit down with Grammy Foundation President/CEO Neil Portnow. “I think the Grammys are super important,” tweeted Kanye. “I know so many cool artists whose hearts have been broken by the politics including mine. We need to fix this. I feel the Grammy awarding system is way off and completely out of touch. Hi Grammys this is the most important living artist talking. If I’m not at the show next year then there is no show.“

Kanye went on to point out that he’s not just taking a stand for himself, but for his peers also. “I don’t want to just fix the awards for me but I want to fix it for Dexter Navy who directed A$AP Rocky’s LSD video. Everybody with any form of taste knows that was the best video of the year! You guys are supposed to be all about taste. You like your black people a certain way also. You wouldn’t have Future perform and that man owned the clubs last summer. Has anyone at the Grammys ever heard March Madness??? First order of business. We the people need to see Future at the Grammys. We need to see Young Thug at the Grammys. Not just me and Jay in a suit.”

And if by now you were confused, Kanye wants you to know, “Yes I have a problem with the Grammys. All artists have a problem with it, and I am going to fix it for us all starting right now.”

Neil Portmow has since responded to Kanye. Through the Grammys official Twitter page Neil said, “.@kanyewest, I’m not on Twitter but just hit me up and let’s have that sit down.” Not sure if he left Kanye his contact info in the DM but it’s worth a shot.

So what are your thoughts on this ordeal? Do you think Yeezy has the power to change the Grammys? Do you believe Future and Young Thug should have been nominated?
