00:00The Grammy nominations are out and everyone from Jay-Z to Bruno Mars got honored, but
00:10social media had a whole lot to say about one nominee in particular.
00:13Jake M. Henderson tweeted an image of Maxine Waters with this caption, my face, when Cardi
00:19B gets two Grammy nominations.
00:22And Big Hempen had this to say, someone explained to me what makes this Bodak Yellow song so
00:27dope.
00:27It's a cool record in my 30-plus years of listening to hip-hop, and this is not in the
00:32top 50 of all-time records, in my opinion.
00:35All right, panelists, weigh in.
00:37Are this year's Grammys nominations a slay or a shade?
00:40And three, two, one, hold up your panels.
00:42Slay, okay.
00:44A slay!
00:44All right, Antonio, we'll start with you.
00:46Listen, I think that the Grammys got it right this year.
00:48I think that when it comes to artists of color, we are definitely represented.
00:52Women are definitely represented.
00:53And Cardi B worked so hard for this single and this record.
00:57I'm happy for her, and I want her to win and succeed, get both of the Grammy nominations.
01:01How could you not?
01:02Now, Danielle, do you think maybe the Grammys are trying to make up for last year?
01:05Because you know there's a little controversy, or did they get it right this year?
01:08That's a good question.
01:09I don't know if they're trying to make up for last year.
01:10I mean, I definitely am still hurt by Beyonce's loss.
01:13Oh, yeah.
01:14But I think they just hit it on the nose this year.
01:17Like, I feel like Kendrick's album was amazing per usual.
01:21Jay-Z, of course, the GOAT.
01:22I'm so excited for Cardi, who, like Antonio said, the work ethic she put in was, I mean,
01:28this girl was going to college campuses.
01:31She had two mixtapes before she actually put out this single.
01:34She's got an album on the way, but she's been putting in work.
01:37So I just want to see her win.
01:38I think they got it, like, right.
01:39And, of course, CZA.
01:40I mean, we all love CZA, Tracy.
01:42Come on.
01:43No, absolutely.
01:44Big time CZA stand over here.
01:46But I love this year's Grammy nominations because it actually looks like a buffet rather
01:50than, like, the same plain plate of blah.
01:54You know what I mean?
01:55I mean, there's, like, a whole spectrum of not only artists but types of songs which
01:58lends itself over to Cardi B and for that one user that was, like, in my 30 years plus.
02:04And not to devalue that opinion, but every year there's a new Grammy to reflect the present
02:09music.
02:10Right.
02:10So someone like Cardi, if you're going to judge it just strictly on substance, okay, fine.
02:14Maybe it's not going to be taught, you know, at your everyday middle school, the lyrics
02:18to Bodak Yellow.
02:20But she worked hard.
02:21The impact cannot be denied.
02:23You cannot erase it.
02:24Hello.
02:24And by the way, 3-6 Mafia has an Oscar.
02:26I think Cardi B can get a Grammy nomination.
02:29All right, Kayla, let's see what the social media streets are saying.
02:32Now, Kayla's monitoring your comments on our Facebook and YouTube pages.
02:36Kayla, talk to me.
02:37Okay, nothing but love for her so far.
02:39Shantaya Parham says, hey, you've got the hottest song out, number one on the charts for
02:43X amount of weeks.
02:44I say, work it.
02:45Mark Buren says, Cardi should win the Grammy for Bodak.
02:48Fatima Smith says, stop putting her down.
02:50We need to love and uplift her and stop putting all of the artists down.
02:53Rochella Bethea says, yes for Cardi B.
02:55Anyone who can go from stripping to reality TV to hustling their music, number one out
02:59of the gate.
03:00Yes.
03:00Meeting top-notch people in the industry.
03:02Happily engaged.
03:03And now to Grammy nods.
03:04Can we say winning?
03:05Mm-hmm.
03:06...
03:07Jam, I'm coming.
03:09That'll be true.
03:10Why don't we show up because...
03:15...
03:18...
03:18...
03:18Wait.
03:20And sonra...
03:20...
03:22...
03:22...
03:22And now that's the only reason I do...
03:25...
