--------
DJ Akademiks discussed the Grammy exclusion of artists like NBA YoungBoy, Nicki Minaj, and Travis Scott. He suggests that the Grammys have a specific taste, often favoring more "artsy" music, which could explain Kendrick Lamar's success at the awards. He argues that despite their popularity and impact, Travis Scott’s music doesn’t align with the Grammy’s perceived preferences, particularly in genres like rage music, which has yet to gain mainstream recognition from the organization. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s careers also reflect this sentiment. DJ Akademiks believes that Nicki's evident talent and musicianship have not been enough to receive Grammy acknowledgment compared to Cardi B's more personality-driven appeal. While Cardi's success in the music world has been impressive, some argue that Nicki's artistry has been underserved by the Grammys.
