Kendrick Lamar was 100% robbed. There is no way on this earth and the afterlife that you can listen to Kendrickās To Pimp A Butterfly groundbreaking revolutionary album and tell me Taylor Swiftās milquetoast album wins Album of the Year. That is complete BS.

To Pimp A Butterfly was the ALBUM OF THE YEAR. That is the truth and everyone knows it.

Taylor Swift. — That was the only “Aw hell nah!” I let out the whole evening. Most years, I left fly about 5 or 6 of those. Not that sheās not talented and she certainly sold a hell of a lot of albums, I was cheering for pretty much everyone else in that category. Oh well, good for her.
I like that they showed a bunch of outstanding performances tonight, but I miss seeing acceptance speeches and performances from lesser-known artists in categories that donāt get much TV exposure. They should go back to weekend broadcast and show more of those, in my humble opinion.Another half hour to allow for that wouldāve made it perfect.
To show you how weird this great grandmother is, three of my favorites at the Grammys were Bonnie Raitt, Alabama Shakes, and Bruno Mars. The thrill is NOT gone! Ha! I crack myself up.
I so enjoyed the Grammyās tonight. My husband and I had fun figuring out who all the folks were. So many we donāt know. Thanks for bringing all the tweets here.
“A documentary about Charles L. Blocksonās journey to preserve the history and culture of people who descended from Africa was screened Thursday afternoon at Temple University.
Blockson, the founder and curator emeritus of the Charles L. Blockson African-American Collection at Temple University Libraries, is the focus of the 16-minute documentary titled, āHolding History: The Collection of Charles L. Blockson.ā
The film starts with Blockson, who was born in 1933 in Norristown, explaining his desire to learn about Black history after asking his fourth-grade teacher about past African Americans. His teacher replied, āNegroes were born to serve white people.ā
āShe wasnāt a bigoted person; she was just ignorant,ā Blockson said during a question-and-answer session following the film. āShe apologized to me ⦠before she died.ā”
Short film goes to great length to honor Black collector https://t.co/pqaFDm1BB3 via @PhillyTrib

There were some sound glitches during her performance — not at all her fault.
