It’s almost ironic that one of the most pivotal award presentations in Grammy Awards history didn’t even happen on the main stage.
“You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It’s weird and it sucks that I robbed you,” Macklemore texted Kendrick Lamar, who was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards. Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West were also nominated, but newcomers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were victorious with their debut album The Heist. The rapper sent the text a few minutes after the main show ended,...

The second teaser trailer for Netflix’s Bird Box spinoff, Bird Box Barcelona, reveals much more of the terror the citizens of Barcelona are feeling as the creatures launch their attack. The premise remains the same as the original film – cover your eyes and never ever look at the creatures – but the setting switches to show how the world’s dealing with these bizarre beasts.
Bird Box starring Oscar winner Sandra Bullock premiered in December 2018, and the spinoff will debut on Netflix on July 14, 2023. Goya award winner Mario Casas (No matarás) leads the cast of the spinoff, starring Georgina Campbell, Alejandra Howard, Naila Schuberth, Diego Calva, and Patrick Criado.
In addition, Lola Dueñas, Gonzalo De Castro, Michelle Jenner, and Leonardo Sbaraglia also star.
Álex Pastor and David Pastor penned the screenplay and co-directed. Dylan Clark, Chris Morgan, Núria Valls, Adrián Guerra, Josh Malerman, and Ryan Lewis produced the post-apocalyptic thriller.

Five years after the original "Bird Box" became an absolute sensation on Netflix, we're finally getting a follow-up. While it's not a proper sequel, it is more of a spin-off taking place elsewhere in the world. In this case, Spain, which is why the forthcoming movie is aptly titled "Bird Box Barcelona." That also has a nice alliterative ring to it. But that's about the only thing about this movie that looks nice, as it seems absolutely chaotic and tense.
This appears to be going with a very similar conceit as the original film, with survivors trying to avoid eye contact with the mysterious beings at the center of this disaster at all costs. It's a new group of people in an entirely new location. What will those new elements bring to the table? Let's have a look-see.

Exclusive: QC Entertainment, the production company behind recent Best Picture Oscar contenders BlacKkKlansman and Get Out, has snapped up rights to J.D. Barker’s forthcoming erotic thriller novel Behind a Closed Door in a preemptive bid, with plans to adapt it for film.
The acquisition follows QC’s work with Barker on The Fourth Monkey, a show to adapt his award-winning, bestselling novel series of the same name. QC will, as in that case, produce alongside Spin a Black Yarn, which reps the writer.
Billed as 50 Shades of Grey meets David Fincher’s The Game, Behind a Closed Door introduces readers to Sugar & Spice, the latest app craze taking the world by storm, which leads downloaders Abby and Brendan Hollander into a dangerous game of life and death. When the app assigns the pair a series of increasingly taboo tasks, they soon find themselves caught up in a twisted web of seduction and violence.

Macklemore has always been kind of a lot. The histrionic hooks, middlebrow exegeses about white privilege, the double- and triple-time bars, even the damn haircut: He is the only popular rapper with the panting, sweaty air of a Broadway showman, almost pathologically eager to please. History will never forget him as the guy who won a Grammy and then apologized to the guy who should’ve won that Grammy, and then posted that apology on Instagram. Given how over-the-top the general Macklemore experience has been, the notion that the rapper’s new comeback LP,...

Enough time has passed since the Grammys to start talking about next year’s ceremony. However, before delving deep into who could possibly be an early front-runner and whatnot, let’s address how the recording academy should handle everything Grammy-related. Here are four decisions and changes I’d like to see for the 2024 ceremony.
SEEBillboard Hot 100: Every #1 song of 2023

A positive aspect of this year’s Grammys was the focalization of Album of the Year as the last and most important award. In some previous years the academy has put the spotlight on Record of the Year, even doing small interviews with the nominees for the 2021 show. However, any Grammy enthusiast will tell you that Album of the Year is by far the most coveted award and therefore should be the last presented. This year not only was the award the very last of the night,...

Beyoncé’s Renaissance album almost never made it to the dance floor — at the Grammys.
Beyoncé submitted the critically acclaimed album for best dance/electronica album at the 2023 Grammys, but the Recording Academy’s dance committee initially felt that it might not be a perfect fit for the genre, according to a source. That group believed that the album might be better placed in pop, where it would be nominated for best pop vocal album alongside projects by Adele, Harry Styles, Lizzo and more.
The debate landed in the hands of the academy’s National Screening Committee — a group of music industry experts including songwriters, producers, musicologists and more — who listened to Renaissance several times to determine where it should compete. That group — which also selects which artists are eligible for best new artist — eventually decided that Beyoncé’s project should be in contention in dance.

In the past 10 years few albums have received the praise that Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories” did. Being the Edm duo’s last album before their split in 2021, the record has been cited as one of the defining albums of the 2010s due to its cultural impact as well as its critical and commercial success. All of that success translated into love at the Grammys: Daft Punk took home five awards including Album of the Year.
Daft Punk had never been huge Grammy favorites. Prior to their 2014 sweep for “Random Access Memories,” they had only won two Grammys: Best Dance/Electronic Album for “Alive 2007” and Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Alive 2007),” both in 2009. But over the years the band had racked up a huge following and, most importantly, a lot of industry respect.

Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” Kicked Out of Grammy Rap Category, Will Compete in Pop (Exclusive)
Click here to read the full article.
Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” is spending its eighth week on top of Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart, but at the Grammys, the song will compete in the pop category.
Minaj originally submitted the track — which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in August — to the rap categories at the Grammys, but the decision was overturned by the Recording Academy’s rap committee, according to a source. That group determined that Minaj’s playful and pop-sounding song sampling Rick James’ 1981 classic “Super Freak” should compete for best pop solo performance instead of rap awards.
Minaj criticized the decision on social media Thursday in an Instagram video post and a series of tweets. “They stay moving the goalposts when it comes to me,” Minaj said on Ig about the academy. “Why is the goalpost only ever moved when it’s Nicki?...

It’s well known that the Grammys have a history of snubbing hip-hop music. Whether the reason is racial or musical bias, generational disconnect with older voters, or a mixture of both, the fact is that it’s harder for hip-hop artists to win in the big categories. And if it is still an issue now, you can imagine how hard it used to be a few decades ago. Knowing all of that makes a certain win truly stand out in Grammy history. At the 1993 awards, hip-hop collective Arrested Development won Best New Artist, becoming the first hip-hop act to win the award, and the first hip-hop act to win in the general field. Let’s look back at the historic win, the factors that contributed to it, and the impact it had in Grammy and pop culture history.

Macklemore appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform his recent single, “Maniac.” Appearing with Windser, his guest on the track, Macklemore gave the performance at vintage flair, complete with backup singers and a ’50s backdrop.
“Maniac” arrived last month following Macklemore’s single “Chant,” which dropped in July. It was produced by Ryan Lewis, Macklemore’s former musical partner, and Budo.
“The first time I heard Windser singing the hook on ‘Maniac’ I fell in love with it,” Macklemore said in a statement when the single dropped in August. “It...

The video for Macklemore’s new single “Chant” begins with the rapper rising out of a misty lake and directly addressing his deepest insecurities. “They told me that I vanished,” he raps in his opening lines. “They told me that I had it/They told me that I’m gone…They can’t take my talent/They can’t take my stripes.”
This might be a surprising sentiment for an artist who’s racked up billions of streams over the past decade, headlined huge concerts all across the globe, and won major awards.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist can be an honor or a curse. Past winners like Adele, John Legend, Maroon 5, and Dua Lipa have become stars of their times, while some others seemed to fade away as soon as their names were called on Grammy night. But sometimes it’s better to get to know the nominees instead of simply judging the winners, as some of them like Kendrick Lamar, Sza, and Kacey Musgraves have turned out to be important artists in their respective genres despite losing this award. Let’s take a look at the 10 nominees in the Bna class of 2022. Who among them do you think we’ll still be talking about in 10 years?

As we get closer to the 2021 Grammy Awards nominations (date yet to be announced), we should take a closer look at the race for Record of the Year, which is stacked with possibilities. This category honors individual songs, with the prize going to the artists, producers and engineers. Let’s see which hits are primed for some glory.

You’ve probably heard at least a snippet of “Dance Monkey,” the billion-streamed hit from 2019 by Australian artist Tones and I. But when Toni Watson first heard that her song was becoming a global smash, she had one question: What is a music chart?
“I never knew there were music charts before I released my music [online],” she says. “I never looked at charts or anything. I just listened to the music that I liked.”
Tones’ unfamiliarity with the industry only makes her success story even more remarkable. A self-taught producer,...

Exclusive: Jesse Murphy, a former scripted executive at Wayans Alvarez Productions, has partnered with James Sears Bryant, founder of National Litigation Law Group and former president of ProServ Basketball, to form Jesse James Films. The two first collaborated on Only Human, the satirical Off-Broadway musical.
The Culver City-based newly formed production company is backed by a seven-figure intellectual property fund. Murphy will oversee development and the formation of strategic partnerships with first-look term deals that do not have discretionary funding.
Projects currently in development include a horror anthology series about an insomnia pandemic based on the book Sleep Over by H.G. Bells. Stephen Susco (The Grudge) is set to adapt with Ryan Lewis and Broken Road Productions producing; a limited series (produced with MadRiver Pictures), titled, Nightbird based on the New York Times Book of Note, Girls, by Frederick Busch with a screenplay by Anthony Tambakis (Warrior) and Joe Berlinger attached to direct; as well as a television series adapted from Image Comic’s McMlxxv, by Joe Casey, which also is being produced by Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez via Wayans Alvarez Productions.
Their film slate includes an adaptation of Confidential Source Ninety-Six: The Making of America’s Preeminent Confidential Informant from the novel by C.S. 96. Peter Landesman (Concussion) will pen the screenplay and 3 Arts Entertainment is producing.
“In short, we are a traditional production company with an intellectual property fund,” said Murphy. “We’re actively acquiring and developing properties while simultaneously partnering on projects that are brought to us.”
Said Bryant, “Jesse and I suffer from the same creative itch. It’s our mission to match the most elevated global content with the town’s most exciting voices…and have some fun doing it.”
Jesse James Films is repped by 3 Arts Entertainment with Jay Shanker of Crowe & Dunlevy.

The race is on for the Grammys’ best new artist with Lizzo and Billie Eilish positioned as frontrunners in an exceptionally exciting 2020 category. Survey the odds for all eight of the year’s contenders below.
Black Pumas
Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada have been a duo only since 2017, but they sound as if they’ve been making music together for decades. Their debut album, “Black Moon Rising,” is the sort of accomplished bluesy, soulful gem that lesser acts spend years working up to and still rarely deliver. That might have a lot to do with the influence of Quesada, who has a bit of Grammy history as a member of Grupo Fantasma, a band that won a Grammy for its 2010 album “El Existential.” Duos don’t tend to do particularly well in the new artist category, with the Carpenters, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and, yes, Milli Vanilli being the only twosomes...

The 2018 Grammy nominations were a triumph for diversity, with far more hip-hop and R&b nominees in the top categories than ever before.
In a way, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that an organization devoted to supporting and honoring music would recognize the current ascendance of hip-hop as the dominant popular music form. But it is something of a delicious shock, because since they began in the 1950s, the Grammys have not exactly been inclusive.
No hip-hop song, for instance, has ever won Record of the Year or Song of the Year. You could argue that they’ve been shortsighted when it comes to rock music and Latin music and jazz and other genres, too, that there’s an inevitable conservatism that comes from having a huge body of voters considering such a vast musical landscape.
But the decades worth of snubs and oversights are not pretty. A timeline:

Chance the Rapper made history at the Grammys in 2017 with his mixtape “Coloring Book,” which was the first streaming-only album ever to win a Grammy. Now he has released his first official album, “The Big Day.” Can he follow up that initial success with his first bid for Album of the Year?
“Coloring Book” won Best Rap Album, defeating “Views” by Drake even though “Views” had an Album of the Year nomination that year. That was the first time — and so far the only time — that an Album of the Year nominee lost that category to an album that wasn’t up for the top prize. Chance the Rapper also claimed Best New Artist that year, which made him one of the few hip-hop acts ever to win that award, following Arrested Development (1993), R&b/rap artist Lauryn Hill (1999) and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (2014). To date, he’s the only...
