The buzz blowing around since Esperanza Spalding won the Best New Artist Grammy Award last night is starting to be driven by different winds now that people have read her Wikipedia page and figured out who she is, and music celebrities, being the colorful cast that they are, have naturally scurried to Twitter to express their displeasure over her victory against nominees and expected winners Justin Bieber and Drake.
Two of the more notables are Kanye West and Game, rap music's big names known for starting media, and in Game's case, physical feuds, and since having seen their buddies snubbed of last night's award, they've expressed their reactions via tweets over Esperanza's crowning.
"Drake aint win BEST NEW ARTIST ? Exactly why I'm kool on awards. (finishes rolling weed up as I turn the tv off).," Game tweeted last night. "You wouldn't care about AWARDS if you seen the people giving em'. "WHO DA F*CK ARE Y'ALL" ( @drakkardnoir voice ) cheated the homie."
Kanye, having collaborated with Baby Bieber last year, addressed the issue in a calmer tone, tweeting: "D*mn... I can't find the words to explain how I feel about the best new artist award... Don't wanna say the wrong thing."
It's a difficult thing to argue with, most people truly having not known who Esperanza Spalding is, while Drake and Bieber have been two of the more prominent media figures in the last year, but people will be people, opinions will be opinions, and it is what is it. As Bieber tweeted: "Someone said to me tonight its not your successes that define u but your failures. I lost..but I don't plan on this being my last chance....," and, Justin, I have to say, the whole failures cliche is true, but I also have to address the fact that that was your last chance, literally. You are ineligible for the Best New Artist Grammy Award from here on out. That's just how it is. Pwned.
