I agree with all these comments. The genre should have been included in the performances. Complain and email the Grammy organization. Just whom is setting the standards anyway? I'll bet not many really know reggae music. Don't put too much stock into awards designated by people who don' look like you.

Black African Slaves make all sorts of genre of music and now white supremacy took it over and handing out Awards for it, We black African should not take place in their mess we need not their validation.

I remember when this struggle was going on between Peter Tosh and Bob Marley.  No doubt the white establishment will always show more favor towards those who reflect more of their features than others, but both were killed because of white conspiracy.  Moral of the scenario is that neither party wins unless we come together and form our own Grammy and say to hell with theirs.

I think the bloggers who responded to Chronixx had a valid point in that awards shows like the Grammy's put on by "other folks" and has become the benchmark to measure success can cause someone to lose themselves in the moment. We all can understand disappointment and not achieving your goal or living up to whatever expectations that you may have for yourself. However, it is not to lose yourself to the standards and expectations that others have established. Keep doing your thing. I think Chronixx does understand that which why he retracted his statement. He was just caught up on the moment- he is human. Besides, it is not like once an artist is nominated for a Grammy that they can't br nominated again. Most artist like Jr. Gong that attain that acknowledgement and accolades paid their dues. Regardless of him being a Bob Marley descendant, he didn't just started collecting Grammy's as soon as he launched his musical career. He journeyed just like many artist has and still do and yet not be recognized for their work. So to Chronixx I say consider it a blessing still to recognized and honored for your work at this early point i your career. This is a big stepping stone as to how prolific you can be so as long as you keep doing what you are doing musically and to remain humble.
