32 replies, posted
[quote]McCartney, along with five-time Grammy winner Beck and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, were turned away — twice — from a Grammys afterparty hosted by rapper Tyga at The Argyle in Hollywood.In a video captured by TMZ, McCartney can be heard quipping after their first attempt to get in: "How VIP do we gotta get? We need another hit, guys."
After a second failed attempt to enter the party, the trio left and made their way to the Republic Records afterparty instead.[/quote]

No comment.
No fucking comment.
Wow.
From what I read on google, Tyga got on twitter and said he wouldn't have denied Paul, that he is a legend. He said he doesn't control the door, that he only performed and left.
But I mean, if he hosted it, didn't he have some kind of control?
lol, that bouncer probably feels regret now.
Why is Tyga hosting a grammys after-party? Why was Tyga even at the grammys? Why would Paul McCartney want to get into a Tyga party?

[QUOTE]"They came to the wrong party. Security told them to go to the front entrance and so they were arguing a bit but once they realized it was the wrong party they didn't want to come in. They weren't kicked out or not allowed in." Ah, that makes more sense! [/QUOTE]

Tyga was at the Grammy's probably because he is a prominent hip hop and Grammy nominated artist.

Which is a great example of why the Grammy's suck.

Nice opinion you have there. Did you ever consider that some people think differently then you and think Tyga is worthy of a nomination?

It goes without saying that it's his opinion.
wow shit, if paul McCartney showed up at my door i'd let him in
apparently he was at the wrong door, but thats still funny
Grammies are just a circlejerk for top 40 artists to celebrate the few years of popularity they have left before they're doing rogaine and plaque psoriasis commercials on TVLand.
They probably thought Paul McCartney and Beck were associated with Kanye. And they probably thought Taylor Hawkins was Taylor Swift
good to see he still knows how to party. I wonder if he had ulterior motives when he mentioned getting another "hit"

haha you bet your ass he did, paul "day tripper" mccartney used to smoke tea in a pipe and was caught with half a pound of weed in his luggage
[sp]nah i don't have anything to confirm that's what he meant, but it was the first thing that sprung to mind when he said "hit"[/sp]
i'm pretty sure he stopped smoking weed last year?
[editline]17th February 2016[/editline]
oh he only admitted it last year, apparently he hasn't smoked in a long time

Of course it's his opinion, he said it.

Probably meant that they need another hit single since they are not "VIP" enough to get in. Just banter.

Nobody is deserving of a nomination for anything, but the fact that Tyga and Paul McCartney are in the exact same boat is a testament to why award ceremonies are bullshit. It's comparing apples to oranges, and even worse often the apples and oranges at the top of the basket as opposed to anything underneath.
In my head, you cannot win with giving out awards. As a fan of Radiohead, I think it's incorrect to call his Grammy-nominated album "Kid A" an "alternative" album, and it's unfair to everybody else in that category that is more traditionally alternative. But if you give an award to the more traditionally alternative albums, you have made the safe choice and you're enforcing the status quo while also telling everybody else that they are worth less. Awards also shouldn't be given out for hard work, because hard work doesn't mean good work. If you love music, you'll do it in spite of the awards. And all of these pitfalls in the logic of award ceremonies leads me to believe that awards are never warranted in the realm of art and never a good thing. Awards for running a marathon and coming out first? Fine, whatever, but art? Art isn't a competition. Art should never be a competition. Keep that shit out of my art.
Also, I don't care about other people's opinions being "their opinions", if their opinions are shit, I'm going to call them out on it. If you don't like it, don't have an opinion.
Even if it was the wrong door they probably should've just let them in anyway.
I just like the idea of Paul McCartney, Beck and Taylor Hawkins hanging out together.

as George Carlin said, I have a right to my opinion and my opinion is you have no right to your opinion.
Paul and Beck seem brilliantly wasted in the TMZ video.
Paul just stares out the rude Pap. Beck keeps repeating how him and Paul will work together next year. That woman loses her shit about seeing Paul and Paul just totally blanks her and walks on by. Those guys were going for a massive night out. They're smashed.
What a night that would be.
beck and mccartney collab? sign me the fuck up

It's the Grammys, which is basically a popularity contest atm.

When did I get up in arms over people talking about my opinions? Feel free to point that out.

Because I think it's a disgusting way to treat art. Art shouldn't be a competition. Art isn't running track. Art isn't scoring touchdowns. Pinning an artist against another artist that could potentially be nowhere even close to being alike and rewarding popularity over artistic creativity is disturbing.
But yes, I would love for Beck and McCartney to collaborate.
oh yeah i totally agree that the whole "popularity contest" angle sucks but isn't it nice for artists to receive that sorta recognition? of course, it could be argued that the appreciable recognition of their work comes from their fans and success itself but is it really that surprising that things like the grammys exist? i mean, the music causes widespread entertainment, it seems only natural that an entertaining (because all this news relating to the grammys is at least pretty funny to some) awards ceremony should come of it?
not really challenging your point as i'm hugely into the actual artistic side of music and definitely agree that these things give off a bit of a "top 40 circlejerk" sort of vibe, just interested in hearing different points of view
[editline]17th February 2016[/editline]
it's kind of like pitting gladiators completely unfit to fight eachother against one another; maybe a man against a lion isn't a fair fight, but it's still kind of entertaining in a twisted sort of way, if that metaphor makes sense with all this?
although again, i don't "agree" with the concept itself. i can just understand why it would have such an appeal and can't imagine change coming any time soon, nor can i picture a complete absence of such events without some type of backlash
[editline]17th February 2016[/editline]
i mean, picasso won that old lenin peace prize so there's definitely some degree of 'prestige' when it comes to recognizing accomplishment with such an award, i wouldn't necessarily agree with that act either nor does it seem to really be in the same boat as the grammys but there's no denying that rewarding art with awards isn't a terribly recent phenomenon, regardless of justification or motive
this is just a random example i pulled out of my ass to compare so it definitely doesn't hold much weight and is a simple "art has often led to awards" case but i'd like to hear your opinion in relation to the superficial clusterfuck that is the grammys. it all seems constructed for some sort of intention aside from the art itself, which i agree is pretty fucked up, but still interesting that this practice goes back a fair bit of time

yea but those people are wrong because Tyga is legit trash and the only grammy he was ever nominated for (per wikipedia) wasn't even one of his songs, it was for an awful feature on a chris brown song. he was nominated by proxy
fun fact: tygas best song (muthafucka up) is only notable because of the beat and because of Nicki Minaj
fun fact 2: tyga was nominated for "Worlds best male artist" at the 2014 world awards, but lost to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vogqLMDMm2c]Han Geng[/URL]
fun fact 3: he actually used the line "up in flames, i've been the flamest" in a song man FUCK tyga
It's more of a problem of comparison. Some things shouldn't be compared, and I prefer the most individual possible evaluation of everything. I can't compare Interstellar and Airplane. I can't compare John Lennon and Thom Yorke. And sure, you can limit stuff down to respective genres, but then there's a debate of what the boundaries of the genre are and you have to adapt it to time. Plus, what if people cross those boundaries or mix genres? It really enforces borders on creativity, as well as standards. Art shouldn't have standards.
I apply this method of thinking to everything and everyone. Valve shouldn't be compared or contrasted with EA. My partner shouldn't be compared with other women. My success shouldn't be compared with other success. Everything has its own merit and failures, and they should be dealt with in the grand scheme of being better, not best, and being better than themselves, not better than others.
