Grammys are criticized by Snoop Dogg for receiving 16 nominations but never taking home a prize.
Snoop Dogg is criticizing Nas for his lack of victories, three years after he eventually took home his first Grammy Award.
Snoop is one of four rappers—Travis Scott (10), Busta Rhymes (12), Nicki Minaj (12), and the Doggfather (16)—who have received at least ten Grammy nominations but have not yet taken home a trophy.
Snoop has had more nominations than several other award-winning icons outside of hip-hop, such as Musiq Soulchild, Sia, Diana Ross, and Katy Perry. (Read: View Celine Dion's outstanding live performance at the 66th Grammy Awards.)
Of the 16 nominations received by the Long Beach MC, four were for Best Rap Song (2003's "Beautiful," Four more for Best Rap Performance (1992's "Nuthin' But a G Thang," 1993's "Gin and Juice," 1999's "Still D.R.E.," and 1999's "The Next Episode") and three more for 2004's "Drop It Like It's Hot," 2007's "Sexual Eruption," and 2011's "Young, Wild & Free."”).
However, the 52-year-old has not received any recognition from the Grammys for his extraordinary career.
Snoop took to Instagram on Monday morning to subtly criticize the awards presentation. He shared an image of a Business Insider story that ranked him as one of the top artists who had not won.
Just a few hours had passed since Jay-Z criticized the Grammy Awards while accepting the second annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award when Snoop Dogg made his post.
Midway through the address, Hov criticized the Recording Academy for delaying Beyoncé's Grammy Award for Album of the Year, even though she has 32 wins and is the most decorated artist in Grammy history.
Regarding his wife of almost 16 years, Jay-Z remarked, "I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year." Thus, even by your own standards, that is ineffective. Consider that. The Grammys are ineffective if they don't win Album of the Year. Snoop posted the video and a brief congratulations to Jay on his Instagram page on Sunday night.
