It's that time of year again! With the recently announced list of nominees for the 2018 Grammys we're back ready to discuss what we think of the field, who we think got snubbed, who's inclusion surprised us the most, and to of course give our predictions for the winners of each category. Also we touch on the historical diversity found in this Grammys Album of the Year category.
Since its inception hip-hop has struggled to overcome misogyny in both its lyrics and in the way they depict women. But that doesn't mean that throughout its history feminism hasn't made its impact felt.
We return to the Grammys to check our results on our winner predictions and see who came out on top. We also give our general reactions and thoughts about this years awards show and we fix the Grammys biggest problem. Then we end things out talking about some of the latest news and music out there.

DAMN. is Kendrick's most contemporary and immediate album yet and the fact that he's able to pull it off without sacrificing his artistic vision or insane attention to the detail is an accomplishment all in itself. In short, DAMN. is the embodiment of hip-hop, in every form and facet.

The first stop in The DAMN. Tour was nothing less than spectacular. High energy and engaging from start to finish with some spectacular stage visuals from both Travis and Kendrick. This is him at his peak with an arsenal of hits to work with; the wait to see him was well worth it.

The extent to which aspects of both classic art and contemporary music took on different meanings when paired together amazed me. The withdrawn looks of the subjects became coy and knowing when I wondered what secrets they would reveal “if these walls could talk”, Haim’s defiant anthem of “baby, don’t save me” became the voice of women in French high society, and Nina Simone’s simple lament felt inspired by the Avenue de Chantilly. Where the more traditional music pairings became incidental, the contemporary pieces were in dialogue with the paintings, both resisting and conforming to the tone suggested by the music.
