  • 2023 Grammy Awards Recap
    So the Grammys happened recently, and because everyone loves award shows, let's talk about it. As always, congrats to the winners. At the end of the day though, it's really just a popularity contest. Also at the Grammys, Questlove was in charge of the Hip Hop 50 celebration, which was pretty neat.  
    Speaking of recognition, there was also some new nominees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame including A Tribe Called Quest and Missy Elliot.
