Drake On His Grammy Win: “I Don’t Even Want Them Because It Feels Weird!”

<p>Although he wasn&&num;8217&semi;t in attendance&comma; Drake took home two Grammy Awards last week&period; The two categories he won were &&num;8220&semi;Best Rap Song” for &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Hotline Bling&comma;&&num;8221&semi; and &&num;8220&semi;Best Rap&sol;Sung Performance&&num;8221&semi; &&num;8212&semi; but he isn&&num;8217&semi;t satisfied&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>It&&num;8217&semi;s not like he&&num;8217&semi;s being ungrateful or anything&comma; a lot of us can&&num;8217&semi;t even win a regular-degular-shmegular contest&comma; let alone a Grammy award&semi; but Drake says there&&num;8217&semi;s something a little off about his victory&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Even though &OpenCurlyQuote;Hotline Bling’ is not a rap song…the only category they can manage to fit me in is a rap category&comma;” he said while on the OVO Sound radio show just one day after his win&period; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Maybe because I’ve rapped in the past or because I’m black&comma; I can’t figure out why&period; Just like I can’t figure out why &OpenCurlyQuote;One Dance’ wasn’t nominated&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The tea starts to warm up right&&num;8230&semi;about&&num;8230&semi;now&excl;<br &sol;>&NewLine;&lowbar;<br &sol;>&NewLine;So as Drizzy continued to attempt to figure out where the real disconnect lies between the Grammys and the black community&comma; he said he believes that the Grammys simply don&&num;8217&semi;t know where to place game-changing Black artists&comma; so they&&num;8217&semi;re largely reduced to urban categories&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;I love the rap world and I love the rap community&comma; but you’re right&period; I write pop songs for a reason&comma;” he said&period; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;I wanna be like Michael Jackson&period; I wanna be like artists that I’ve looked up to&period; Those are pop songs&comma; but I never get any credit for that…I won two awards last night&comma; but I don’t even want them because it feels weird for some reason&period; It just doesn’t feel right to me…&lbrack;they want to&rsqb; pacify me by handing me something&comma; putting me in that category&comma; because it’s the only place you can figure out where to put me&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;We’ve been conditioned to think that this is the true award for our accomplishments&comma;” he said&period; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;All I’m saying is&comma; to kids that will be coming up in the future that might not get championed&colon; that’s okay&comma; too&period; You’re dealing with a bunch of people that are just people&comma;
