I'll say... their creative.

But 50 definately should've got Best NewComer of the year. His album almost went platinum in one week and he had various hits. In comparison to "stereotypical white pop group" that won. That was bullshit. He's a G for walkin cross the stage n doin that. Its the truth. Grammies are bullshit.

Syntax Mastery 02-09-04 09:05 AM

evanesance > 50 cent

edit: lol@"stereotypical pop group"... its obvious you dont listen to there music man... there's nothing stereotypical about evanesance.

Its fuckin gay when hip hop people think hip hop artist should win every award...and down every otehr genre who wins against a hip hop song, mad gay....

and HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@Outkast winning... bout fuckin time... good shit.

Timeless 02-09-04 09:07 AM

fuck 50 he aint shit, outkast i think desurve to win it for there input into the hiphop world. theres somthin fresh. and i hope they have a few more albums!!

Mr W.Rite 02-09-04 09:14 AM

yea but these award shows..especially the grammys are very media driven
and even though 50 deserved to win..best new comer his image probably hurt him
more than anything. his street mentality, and thug image is not what the people who vote on these awards are looking for...
for him to do so well last year and to not win onw award is kind of suprising...

anyway..outkast represented well
their performances were good, and they handled receiving the most prestigous music
award with class....

Born To Kill 02-09-04 09:21 AM

Yeah...

I'll agree with OutKast...

But fucka Fitty...

He's cool and all...

But it doesn't take that much talent to repeat hooks...

And, seriously, that's all Fitty's music is...

A series of good hooks, not much story involved.

It's pop music in disguise.

Get with reality.

Penskills 02-09-04 09:25 AM

Outkast deserves it!!!!!!! Hoo~~~Ray~~~~

ELEETE 02-09-04 09:57 AM

Go Outkast!!!!!!! wooohoooooooo!!!!!!! an yea i agree with what Syntax Mastery said..........Evanesscence is a great group......theyre music has a lot of emotion in it....An for people getting pissed an bent all outta shape cause Hip Hop wasnt the winner of that category an sayin "thats bullshit he didnt win cause he sings hip hop or he didnt win cause hes black" dawg please........Evanesscence isnt a pop group.....youve obviously never wandered outside the world of hip hop.........i suggest you do........it might open your eyes to more great music.......

Mystery~murdera 02-09-04 11:05 AM

no damn it. Go off record sells alone and 50 killed Evenascence. 50 almost went platinum in one week. The award wasn't "best skilled" new artist. It was New Artist of the year award. And 50 was bigger than eva... had more hits than eva... sold more records than eva... and impacted music more than eva... am I right or not? Of course 50 isn't the best rapper but you can't debate the fact that he had the largest NEW impact on music last year.

Syntax Mastery 02-09-04 11:14 AM

o man... like 98% of your post is opinion

he sold more records than them...but the "best new artist" category isnt about record sales... the commitee who chooses who receives the award consist of more than hip hop heads... EMINEM deserved the new artist award he won in 2001.... 50 may have sold a truckload of records, but thats not what its all about... Evanesance has a better sound than 50 cent in my opinion, 50 may have had alot of "hits" in the world of hip hop...but his only crossover hit was "in tha club"... evan had "bring me back to life"... a mega hit... that was played in almost every movie that came out last year...and on every new sitcom/drama on tv...lmao...

he didnt get "robbed" of anything... evanesance deserved that award just as much as he did...

Mystery~murdera 02-09-04 11:21 AM

^^ now that makes some sense... that certainly makes them look more competitive.

Mr.Christensen 02-09-04 11:28 AM

I think Justin Timberlake should have killed the grammy's
I saw not one problem with his album, he should have beat OutKast...easily

but thats my opinion

Syntax Mastery 02-09-04 11:29 AM

^they might have made some changes after the super bowl...which is gay..cuz mad people are overreacting...

Mr.Christensen 02-09-04 11:40 AM

very true...but thank you for seeing my opinion for what it was, rather than knock it

Did beyonce really leave with an arm full of grammys?

L4dyVixen 02-09-04 11:43 AM

Why did they also win best rap album? Most of their songs are very popish, imo. Nevertheless, they are still a good band and deserve at least one grammy. 50 should've won best newcomer I agree.

Syntax Mastery 02-09-04 12:00 PM

^have you heard any music from outkast before "speakerboxx/the love below"?

i dont think he has...
dre's was a little more popish but very creative
big boi cd was more rap than dre's...either way it deserve the
best album award..
the still top the charts with the singles (hey ya,and i like the way you move)
its just a big accomplishment after all the years they have been together
and in the rap world..

back to the 50 argument
gotta agree with MM because ..50 album did do more album sales..
not just more than Eva but more than everyone else if i'm not mistaken
he broke records...and to me was by far the best newcomer...
him not winning is not just a blow to him but to the production staff
dr dre..and eminem, they should get credit for how well he did...
its just ashamed he didnt win any awards..

G. Buttersworth 02-09-04 01:18 PM

it's a shame, that he was nominated for 5 awards.. and went home with neither.

Akurei 02-09-04 04:05 PM

Yay I have to agree much love to Outkast

Soul-Full 02-09-04 04:09 PM

Outkast winning = finally

"Me and you, yo momma and yo cousin tooooo"

took them long enough To understand who's been 2 years ahead of the game every year for the last 10

Funny thing is that album came out recently

MuhThugga 02-09-04 05:13 PM

And yet albums like Selling Live Water and Shadows on the Sun remain hidden, and both are albums that top Outkast's album. I'm just not feeling Outkast's latest releases like Stankonia and up.

Then again, asking for Selling Live Water to receive a Grammy as Best Album of 2003 is asking for too much.

Holmes Jr. 02-09-04 06:12 PM

Selling Live Water was dope. . but Shadows On The Sun was the Best Album to me of 2003. . with Selling Live Water 2nd, Rise's From the Child to the Emcee 3rd, then the rest I thought were dope falling into place.

Much props to OutKast winning though, Hip Hop is geting the recognition it so rightfully deserves. Pz.

MuhThugga 02-09-04 08:46 PM

I liked Selling Live Water more because I felt that some of the tracks on Shadows on the Sun were too short and gave me a feeling of being incomplete.

At least 50 Cent didn't win shit so I'm content.

My friend commented on his dumb ass walking on stage. He said something like, "What the fuck is he doing? Yeah, Evanesance sounds so similar to 50 Cent the names could be interchangable."

JiXi 02-09-04 10:24 PM

I Personaly Love outcast...But mainly because I Never and Will never stop listening to "Mrs.Jackson" by outcast - Thats is, one if not THEE Best songs in my opinion ever, Or maybe its because It triggers some kick-ass memorys...
And even though i found the Hey Yah song rReaaaaaally anoying - I still love em to death, And thats why they definetly deserved that grammy :)

IF 50 WON I WOULD HAVE FUCKING KILLED MYSELF WITH 2 QUARTERS!

Lyriclesolja 02-09-04 11:13 PM

I think they deserve it they have become one of the best groups of all time,
both of them are dope and will probly remain that way till they stop making records,
and maybe even after.......and as for the 50 conterversey i think he should have won
BOTTOM LINE!

Orpheus Rex 02-09-04 11:50 PM

OutKast Deserved The Award...

The Album Was Amazing And Creative...
