this hits so hard esp when you’re an old ass army because since day ONE namjoon has referred to Nas as his biggest inspiration. this man has written about Nas, sang about Nas, referred to him as his idol like.. this is a moment man. it’s a moment.
Sleep Deez, a well-respected producer who has worked with BTS, has confirmed via his inside source at the Grammys that BTS were, in fact, gonna be the guinea pigs/test dumbies/poster child for the "Asian Pop Performance" category.
They wanted to legitimize it as a "win-win" for both BTS and the segregation of Asian artists by the Academy. What they did NOT expect was that BTS would have self-respect/self-worth and thought they would be DESPERATE for western/Grammys validation. That is why you see them coke ranting on every social media platform.
FORBES: "El problema radica en que la existencia de una categoría geográfica, sea cual sea su intención declarada, indica dónde espera la Academia que se ubique el pop asiático. Nadie creó una categoría de "Best European Pop Music Performance" para Dua Lipa o Ed Sheeran"
FORBES LO ENTENDIÓ TODO, ELLOS SIRVIERON EL TÉ, SAY IT LOUDER 🗣️🔥
