No.
They make it look low class in my humble opinion. I feel rap should stay in its lane. Also, if Black Eyed Peas perform again during this upcoming ceremony I will stop paying my TV license. That white crackhead that always perform with them and showing her no-ass, most overexposed celeb since J Lo in her prime.
How many rappers have given good performances at the grammys? None. I love Outkast but they underwhelmed last time they were there. I love Jay but he had a disaster with Paul Mcartney. And what about Lauryn Hill? well, she performed solo and with the Fugees and it sucked. I guess i have to give love to Kanye as he seems to put in decent work on these shows.
Can you inagine Game going up there with those tattoos on his face representing us and shouting out BlackWallStreet? Or Trina ho ass representing all the black women like all mus sistas are strippers? I feel as if we have a lost generation dominating our popular culture at the moment. Did you see 50 at the VMA's with LL? LL came with some half decent articlulation while presenting, then when 50 open his mouth what did he say in that bullet wound made drawl, "where all the fine women at"? Just imagine him on 60 minutes or some shit being interviewed by Walter Kronkite.
But look, if they gonna have lil boosie, or lil sookie, or lil lil nigga or whaterver "lil", "young" insert name" is performing, I am sorry but black people we always losing with this. Grammys is about stars and glamour, not Rocawear. When you let one of these high school dropout mc's near a microphone on national TV, god daammnnnnnn, I just cover my eyes and pray white america or africans are not watching, hope the damge is limited cause US blacks are better than this.
So, Grammys, you suck for the most part, but keep it pop, r&b, rock, and whatever else. But stop with these bad english/phonetics merchants, you hurting us as a people.

Really depends on how many felonies they've got under their belt. The more felonies, the better.

People should have to pass an IQ test before going on national TV. If you're functionally illiterate, you don't get to beam your nonsense to every home in the country. This goes to anyone, not just rappers. Country music performers & Latin music award shows in particular.

Trina would never be on the Grammy's. God, that would be amazing if she were.

it's the Grammy's..when have they ever been worth worrying about?..Rapper or no-Rappers. I could go for most rappers going away..out of the media..Fiddy Nonsense trying to act...but that's not worth worrying about either.
