From the If There's Any Justice in This World Department: Word has been circulating that Staten Island's NYOIL may grab as many as two Grammy nominations for his assault on the state of hip-hop, "Y'all Should All Get Lynched." His song has been submitted for nomination in the "Song of the Year" category, as well as "Best Rap Solo Performance." That doesn't mean by any stretch that he'll take home an award, or even land a nomination, but ThugLifeArmy.com reports that some established artists on the Grammy board are backing it out of "disgust with current hip-hop trends." We have to think it'd take a miracle to get a song this controversial, angry and out of the mainstream on the final ballots, but it's fun to pretend the Grammys still stand for something important. SOHH says that if NYOIL takes home an award, it'd be the first for an independent hip-hop artist. Not bad. Check the video for the track in question below. He names names and points fingers, and it's graphic and offensive -- which is exactly the point, right?
damn...
