RIDE 11: #BLACKEXCELLENCEMATTERS - THE GRAMMYSODE

Pass Me The Aux

In the Academy's 59 year history, why have only 9 black musicians taken home the Grammys most prestigious honor? Should top musicians boycott the show? What can the Grammys do better? In this episode--our own recap of Sunday's show--we discuss all of this and more, resulting in one of our longest recordings to date. We also touch on the performances, including Adele's mishaps, Bruno's tribute to Prince (and continued appropriation of black culture), Tribe's revolutionary appearance, and Beyoncé's high art production that left us all on edge.
