Ok Ken (and David). As much as I hate to make you guys famous or even respond to you directly. We all die one day and you\u2019re old so fuck it. Yea yea my 2013 performance at the Grammys was absolute shit. Technical difficulties, blah blah. Thanks for the reminder. Very much appreciated. Fuck that performance though. You think that\u2019s why I kept my work out of the Grammy process this year? Don\u2019t you think I would\u2019ve wanted to play the show to \u2018redeem\u2019 myself if I felt that way? In reality, I actually wanted to participate in honoring Prince on the show but then I figured my best tribute to that man\u2019s legacy would be to continue to be myself out here and to be successful. Winning a TV award doesn\u2019t christen me successful. It took me some time to learn that. I bought all my masters back last year in the prime of my career, that\u2019s successful. Blonde sold a million plus without a label, that\u2019s successful. I am young, black, gifted and independent.. that\u2019s my tribute. I\u2019ve actually been tuning into CBS around this time of year for a while to see who gets the top honor and you know what\u2019s really not ‘great TV\u2019 guys? 1989 getting album of the year over To Pimp A Butterfly. Hands down one of the most ‘faulty\u2019 TV moments I\u2019ve seen. Believe the people. Believe the ones who\u2019d rather watch select performances from your program on YouTube the day after because your show puts them to sleep. Use the old gramophone to actually listen bro, I\u2019m one of the best alive. And if you\u2019re up for a discussion about the cultural bias and general nerve damage the show you produce suffers from then I\u2019m all for it. Have a good night.<\/h5>\n
