Sean 'Diddy' Combs: 'Hip-hop has never been respected by the Grammys'

Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton, where the veteran hip-hop producer and record executive received the Recording Academy’s Industry Icon award.

“Truth be told, hip-hop has never been respected by the Grammys. Black music has never been respected by the Grammys to the point that it should be. So right now, this current situation, it’s not a revelation. This thing been going on. “We have the power. We decide what’s hot. If we don’t go, nobody goes. If we don’t support, nobody supports. We control what’s cool. We control what’s hot. We control what your kids listen to, what they dance to.

“And I’m standing here today not to just bash y’all, because as I say, y’all a nonprofit organization. We just need to get it right. I’m here for the artists.

So. Yall makes billions of dollars

Nor should it be-

Yeah! Says this metal music fan whose music really wasn't appreciated in the 80s at all.

Listening to it has something to do with that.

Probably the wrong guy to put on a poor me.

Only because people have ears

It's not hip hop they they don't respect. It's the people who make hip hop music.

Neither has rock, buddy.

Don't worry Sean, the Grammys themselves aren't respected

Society appropriates the hip hop culture in everything...music, fashion, film, hair, makeup etc but never gives them the credit/accolades/awards.

Probably due to Racism. I'm sure Diddy knows this.

Endorse someone studio gangster.
