'there remains a...misalignment between the shape, scale and range of what popular music is and what the Grammys capture. It remains reliably boneheaded about hip-hop, R&B and country, a point it proved this year with its showering of riches upon the full spectrum of vanguard-free rock bands.' 

'...Over Erick Sermon’s soundbite, MC Lyte takes off with her contribution to the Jordan Brand’s “XX8 Days Of Flight”'

“ …the older black women, they kinda just write me off…it’s important for you to look at the companies…I’ve done business with and realize that every time I do a campaign and it’s…successful…we show mainstream America that black women can sell a product and that black women are influential and that we can have our own people support something that we support…that’s what I want black women to understand. I’m not asking you to love everything I do. But I’m asking you to keep it real with yourself and really see exactly what I have been doing. It’s very important that they realize these things weren’t really being done like this before Nicki Minaj.
