12年前,美国国家录音艺术与科学学院在它们的格莱美奖项中,添加了一个“最佳说唱乐”RAP表演奖,说唱乐手们为之欣喜。不过后来他们得知,这个奖项是会外颁发,不进发奖大会现场。当年获得提名的5位说唱乐手中有3人愤怒地拒绝观礼。 今年,格莱美为说唱乐设立了3项奖,它们都被风头正劲的白人说唱乐手阿姆包办。去年他的唱片销量超过了布莱妮·斯皮尔斯,他的歌在MTV台的点播率实在高得惊人。 Twelve years ago, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences added a “Best Rap” RAP Performance Award to their Grammy Awards, and rap artists were delighted. But then they learned that this award will be presented outside, not into the prize presentation conference site. Three of the five rappers who had been nominated for that year angrily refused to attend the ceremony. This year, Grammy set up three awards for rap music, all of them are charismatic white rap artist Eminem. Last year, his record sales exceeded the number of Britney Spears, and his song on-demand rate on MTV was staggeringly high.
