Kendrick Lamar has never been more beloved. He was already considered the best lyricist of his generation, but the Drake battle, and subsequent “Pop Out” show have vaunted him into the GOAT conversation. “Not Like Us” is a number one single, and the music video, which is being shot in Dot’s hometown, is currently in production. It’s one of the biggest songs of the year. It’s also, according to Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason, Jr., eligible for the Grammys.
Mason discussed “Not Like Us” on June 24. TMZ reporters inquired about the song’s chances of getting a Grammy nomination, and the CEO was hopeful. “Obviously, it’s a hot record, it’s amazing artistry,” he asserted. “Great writing… Incredible.” Mason also pointed out that Kendrick Lamar is a favorite among Grammy voters. “You got an artist that’s been nominated before,” the CEO said. “He’s been successful with the organization. I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be.” Mason insisted that the quality of the song is what matters at the end of the day, and “Not Like Us” checks all the boxes.
Kendrick Lamar Has A Great Track Record With Voters
TMZ asked Harvey Mason, Jr. whether the song’s accusations and verbal attacks would be too much for Grammy voters. The CEO remained steadfast. He told the outlet that Grammy voters vote for “greatness” at the end of the day, and Kendrick Lamar radiates greatness. “That’s a relevant record,” he added. “It’s impactful on so many levels. I like to believe the Academy members recognize that. Mason then gave his thoughts on a possible “diss” category being introduced at the Grammys. He laughed, but didn’t refute the idea entirely. “Anything is possible,” he quipped.
To say Kendrick Lamar has had success with Grammy voters is an understatement. He has 50 Grammy nominations under his belt, along with 17 wins. He cleaned up during the 2018 ceremony, in particular, winning five Grammys for the album DAMN. and four for the single “HUMBLE.” There’s also the Drake layer to consider. Drake tried to mock Lamar’s faux-artistic persona on the song “Family Matters” with the lines: “Kendrick just opened his mouth. Someone go hand him a Grammy right now.” It was a meant as a dig, but is now looking more like a reality.
GloRilla reflected on her relationship with Beyonce during a conversation with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder on The PivotPodcast, earlier this week. In doing so, she recalled meeting her on multiple occasions and had nothing but praise for her personality.
“Beyonce, I just met her again yesterday. I met her at the Grammys last year,” Glorilla began. She explained that after presenting an award she walked past Beyonce’s dressing room and asked if she could say hello. “She always be so nice to me and I feel like she loves me as much as I love her. I get super geeked everytime I meet her.”

It isn’t the only time she’s brought up her Beyonce fandom in recent days. Appearing on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, earlier this month, she admitted she frequently DMs the iconic singer despite getting little acknowledgment. “I be talking to myself in Beyonce’s DM,” she said. “I don’t even think she be on Instagram for real. But I’m just like a big Beyonce fan, so like I’m delusional about Beyonce.” Back in 2023, GloRilla also revealed that she was once fired from a job at Nike for singing Beyonce’s music on the job. “Me and my friend, Gloss Up, we were singin’ a Beyonce song and we got fired from Nike,” she told HipHopDX. Check out her latest comments on Beyonce below.
As for music from GloRilla, she recently teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion for the new single, “Wanna Be.” Glo will be opening for Megan Thee Stallion on her Hot Girl Summer Tour later this year. Be on the lookout for further updates on GloRilla on HotNewHipHop.
Killer Mike is someone who has experienced a lot of success over the last few weeks. Overall, he came through and won three Grammys for his album MICHAEL. It was a huge accomplishment especially this late into his career. However, it came with a pretty hash moment as well. Immediately after his wins, he was arrested for an alleged incident with a security guard. Whatever the case may be, he has since retained his freedom and he is happier than ever with his new hardware.
The artist has been making the rounds as of late when it comes to the media. From The Breakfast Club to The View, Mike has been everywhere. In fact, last night he got to be on The Daily Show where he spoke about being on a high from the Grammys. He also touched on one of the other winners from that night, Taylor Swift. In fact, he shot his shot at the singer, despite the fact that he is married, and she is dating Travis Kelce. “God—n, she won at the Grammys. Her boyfriend won the Chiefs,” he said. “If she’s into poly, me and my wife need a third. We’re trying to win again.”
Host Jordan Klepper was quick to follow up on that one as he wondered if Taylor Swift would go for that kind of arrangement. While Killer Mike acknowledges his wife may not like it, it is still something he would consider. “I feel I could pull it off,” Mike said. “Only problem is my wife’s good with a gun. She doesn’t agree. But I’ll keep trying for all the men out there.” Either way, Killer Mike has had a lot of good stuff come his way as of late, and it is deserved. After so many years, the establishment is giving him his recognition.
Let us know what you think about his album Michael, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
Usher’s recent Super Bowl half-time performance reinvigorated fans’ love for the prolific singer-songwriter and reminded audiences why he’s been a fixture in the music industry since the late 1990s. As one of the most influential figures in contemporary R&B and pop, Usher’s career has been defined by his soulful vocals, dynamic stage presence, and commitment to musical innovation. He has even been called the king of R&B.
Beyond his commercial success, Usher’s talents have earned him recognition at the highest levels of the music industry, including the prestigious Grammy Awards. With an illustrious career spanning decades, Usher has taken home eigth Grammy wins, with just under two dozen nominations. Here’s a look into the singer’s career and Grammy wins.
Usher Won His First Grammy In 2001
Per the official Grammy Awards website, Usher’s first ever Academy Award was for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance on the track “U Remind Me.” Usher had previously received two nominations at the 40th and 41st Grammy’s, respectively, for his performance on the tracks “You Make Me Wanna” and “My Way.” “U Remind Me” is a story-telling ballad that follows a man who meets the perfect woman but ultimately fails to court her because she looks too similar to his ex-girlfriend.
Though the track brought in Usher’s very first Grammy Award win, it was far from his last. Since 2001’s 44th Grammy Awards, Usher has become a fixture of the event, often performing live when he isn’t too busy taking the stage with an acceptance speech. In fact, Usher brought home back-to-back wins with the release of the track “U Don’t Have To Call” just a year later.
2005 Saw Usher’s Biggest Year At The Grammy’s Yet
After not receiving any nominations at the 46th Grammys, Usher had a massive year during 2005’s 47th Grammy Awards. During the show, Usher took the stage alongside James Brown and performed hit tracks such as “Get Up — I Feel Like Being Like A Sex Machine” and “Caught Up.” During the event, Usher brought home three Grammy wins out of eight nominations, including Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for the track “Yeah!” with Lil Jon and Ludacris.
The event marked the first time in Usher’s career that he won multiple Academy Awards in a single evening and remains the most at-once nominations he has received. The singer would go on to receive several nominations in the years following the 47th Grammys, though he didn’t take home another trophy until the 53rd celebration in 2011.
His Most Recent Win Was In 2013
Usher’s eighth and most recent Grammy win was for Best R&B Performance in 2013. Usher took home the award for his hit track “Climax,” which, despite its suggestive title, is a slow, meditative jam focusing on long-term relationships’ complications. By this point, both the Academy and audiences at large had abundantly recognized Usher as a certified hit-maker, known for producing radio-friendly tunes that were equally enjoyable in clubs and at home.
Since 2013, Usher has amassed another five Grammy nominations despite slowing his musical output to focus on many behind-the-scenes roles within the music industry. Yet, the beloved singer recently dropped an album just before his Super Bowl performance, so next year could see the long-awaited return of Usher on the Grammy’s stage.
Music award shows can be a controversial thing for artists or fans to discuss. For instance, we know how Drake and Eminem feel about the Recording Academy. Their opinions on the Grammys are well-documented at this point. Now, we know how Travis Scott views it. He let his emotions be clear as day during his hat-trick performance at the 66th Grammys last night. Travis Scott led with two of his most popular cuts from UTOPIA, “MY EYES” and I KNOW ?” The more mellow cuts were a stark contrast to the explosiveness of “FE!N.”
The rage track, featuring Playboi Carti, turned out to be the perfect moment for La Flame to set the Recording Academy ablaze. Travis Scott shouted “They slept on me 10 times!” in place of the song’s traditional lyrics. Yes, believe it or not, he has never won a GRAMMY award in 10 overall nominations. One of his most shocking snubs was back in 2018 when he lost Best Rap Album to Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy.
Many felt Cardi should not have won that year over all of the nominees. Fans of Travis Scott were expectedly stunned when they found out he was “snubbed” again. One fan comments, “lol if I’m trav im leavin.” Another adds, “man he should’ve won.” However, the winner this year was more respectable than back in 2018 in many people’s eyes. Killer Mike, one half of Run The Jewels, swept almost every rap category. He went on to take Best Rap Album, Rap Performance, and Rap Song. While UTOPIA was a great album, it seems Travis has to step his game up even further to snag a GRAMMY award.
What are your thoughts on Travis Scott saying that he was slept on during his “FE!N” performance at the Grammys? Do you think we will ever win an award, why or why not? Do you think he will continue to submit his work to the Recording Academy after going 0-10? Did he have the best performance of the night? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding the 2024 Grammys and Travis Scott. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.
Stephen A Smith was one of the millions of people watching the Grammys last night. Overall, the awards ceremony was a mixed bag. There were some great performances and some questionable winners. Furthermore, there was a powerful speech from Jay-Z that has certainly brought about some unique storylines. However, for many, the biggest story was the arrest of Killer Mike. After he won his Grammy for best rap album, he was arrested for a misdemeanor. Allegedly, he had an altercation with a security guard, which is what led to the arrest.
Following the Grammys, Stephen A Smith took to Twitter where he posed a question about the arrest. Below, you can see that he brought up none other than Will Smith who assaulted Chris Rock on stage, and subsequently won an Oscar and gave a speech. Smith clarified that he didn’t want Will to be arrested. Although he did find the double standard to be quite odd. “Riddle me this: How in the Hell does Killer Mike get taken from the Grammy’s in HANDCUFFS for an “alleged Crime” but Will Smith gets to accept his speech AND party — with no arrest — after committing one on Nat’l TV???” Smith wrote.
Yea, I’m looking forward to @FirstTake in the AM, but that ain’t on my mind right now. Riddle me this: How in the Hell does Killer Mike get taken from the Grammy’s in HANDCUFFS for an “alleged Crime” but Will Smith gets to accept his speech AND party — with no arrest — after…
To be clear, I am not advocating that Will should’ve gotten arrested. But that happened in LA, too. So if Will could be left alone, how come they couldn’t wait until AFTER the Grammy’s to deal with Killer Mike? Why ruin his evening over an alleged misdemeanor but leave Will alone…
“To be clear, I am not advocating that Will should’ve gotten arrested,” Stephen A clarified. “But that happened in LA, too. So if Will could be left alone, how come they couldn’t wait until AFTER the Grammy’s to deal with Killer Mike? Why ruin his evening over an alleged misdemeanor but leave Will alone over a flagrant assault??? What’s different?” Ultimately, it is an interesting question. However, we may never know the answer. Instead, Killer Mike’s moment was ruined for what looked like a PR stunt by the LAPD.
Let us know what you thought of the Killer Mike situation, down below. Did you watch the Grammys? What did you think of the ceremony?

Travis Scott, Burna Boy, and Luke Combs have joined the list of performers set to take the stage at the 2024 Grammy Awards. CBS made the announcement during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. The three artists will be joining Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo, who were already announced.
All three of the new artists are up for awards at the ceremony. Scott is nominated in the best rap album category for his latest project, Utopia. Despite having 10 nominations throughout his career, winning at this year’s ceremony would give him his first award. Combs is up for best country solo performance for his version of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” Burna Boy is up for the most awards of all three, being nominated in four categories. These include best global music album (I Told Them…), best African music performance (“City Boys”), best global music performance (“Alone”), and best melodic rap performance (“Sittin’ on Top of the World”). CBS plans to announce more performers in the next two weeks as the ceremony approaches.

Phoebe Bridgers ranks as the second-most nominated artist with seven chances to win, most of which stem from her work with Boygenius. N.W.A. will also be receiving a lifetime achievement award.
The 66th annual Grammy Awards will air on Sunday, February 4 at 8:00 PM on CBS and Paramount+. Be on the lookout for further updates on the ceremony on HotNewHipHop.
