    Great album, and deserving in its own right. And worth noting that I'm pretty sure he's the first PoC to win since Herbie Hancock in '08 and the first Latino since Santana in '00.

    this is the correct take, like his music or not he's not really problematic

    Yeah, I thought 24k was not deserving of the AOTY award since other albums were better and more “important”, but saying that he stole it from black artists is ridiculous. Why do people need to do this, its like people can’t understand the nuance of it or take the time to try to match up the artists respect for the history

    Someone called Bruno mars a karaoke artist but that same criticism could be applied to awaken my love lol

    Well no shit he started out as a child Elvis impersonator

    And “oh wow Bruno makes really fun music... his music is by default less than a true artist’s music” smh

    i mean what she meant is that his work is pastiche. (donald glover's music also being pastiche seems kinda beside the point?) she's not wrong. anyway

    If the discussion is that Bruno wasn't as worthy of a Grammy as the black artists nominated then it's not really beside the point. Anyway the overall attack on Bruno is beyond counter intuitive when you're attacking a Latino artist who is backed by a diverse team of POC that he props up and gives ample credit to. And f we're gonna act like Latin America hasn't had ample influence on R&B music and call Bruno a cultural appropriator then we've got some problems

    The critics of Bruno are doing a great job erasing his identity which seems pretty fucked up to me
