- www.vladtv.com - Singer/songwriter Rico Love sat down with VladTV and shared his thoughts on the 2015 Grammys, saying he admires Kanye West's passion for music, but disagreed with his statements on artistry and that Beck should've given his award to Beyonce. Rico also says he believes the right man won, and that Beck's album was overall better than Beyonce's.
Rico also spoke on the Grammy voting system, saying it's not some white guy making racist judgements on music, but a collective where several artists choose to not even participate.
See what Love had to say above.
Realest and most Unbiased discussion on this topic Ive seen on the ENTIRE internet. Salute to Rico Love
So true I like how he didn't diminish niether artist he gave his honest opinion ..very intelligent artist
Agreed, I hope he gets that spot on the voting board.
Word!
WORD
I have several Beck albums and it was about time that they recognized his talent.
"i don't really wanna speak on that cuz, i dont know" I almost shed a tear lol. thats something i live by
Rico is a very smart guy, I agree with his statement totally.
Beck personally Wrote, Arranged, mixed and Recorded. As well as played all 16 instruments himself, on his recent Grammy Award winning record! while Beyonce had 17 Writers, Musicians, composers, etc. On her record!
Yet Kanye still rushed stage in his child like manner and later during an interview after the Grammys claimed back should do the right thing and give the Grammy to Beyonce who he believed truly deserved it! now I'm a big fan of Beyonce and her awesome talents , and her album was / is absolutely wonderful! But when it comes to Becks immense artistic musical talent, he by far deserved the award this year!
Remember just because you may not like the type of music and artist produces and puts out, does not mean that they are bad or have no talent!? Unfortunately so many people are very narrow minded therefore have a very narrow selection of music they like and or respect!? I love music and just about every type of musical genre! like from Mozart to the Beatles and from Billie Holiday to N.W.A. And Nirvana.
I'm not saying that I like all music I'm just saying that I have a very open mind when it comes to Music&Artistry and I respect the difficulties involve in writing, recording,& Producing, etc. music
These day's!! Finally I'm not claiming to know everything about music art and all there is to the subject but I am claiming that I keep an open mind when it comes to the subject and since doing so, I have been introduced and even introduced myself to a lot of wonderfully great music which I wouldn't have heard of, or listen to and now love, much of the music which I now have an affinity for! open your mind folks and you'll see you've been missing a lot!? Thanks ;-)

What does have more than one writer have to do with art? Beyoncé pushed the envelope as to what an artist of her caliber could do. It was almost unprecedented for a modern artist no less a woman of color to just surprise drop an album. She quite literally shifted the music industry with a single album creating a plan for artist after her to surprise drop music and do cohesive visuals for their songs. Beck is talented yes but it makes no sense for you to get on a high horse as if playing an instrument and writing (which she does, she writes harmonies for most of her songs)
If you play an instrument and sing I find that more impressive than of you just sing. If you play many instruments and sing I find that even more impressive. Its like athletes who excell in multiple sports.@@courtonjohnson1191
This was a very good interview. Please Vlad more educated people like Rico on here.
Michael Jackson never had 16 writers on any of his songs. Enough with the failed comparisons to justify with Beyonce lack of artistic creation.
I'm black and I have all the respect for Rock, Indie and Country music, Kanye is just being the egotistical A-hole he's always been.
Artists like Coldplay, Gorillaz and Oasis deserve to be given Grammys each year for all the wonderful times their music has brought me over the years.
Beyonce is great, but that last album was a low key stripper anthem lol
Common guys
ismael aden Beck raps much better than Kanye..
a stripper anthem lmfao preach
Fans will never accept the truth
Well, Black people created Rock and most of American music, so why WOULDN'T you have respect for it?
Don't be fooled by the modern propaganda. It's no coincidence that most of these music genres started appearing AFTER slavery ended.
Dumb af
I love both Beyonce and Beck, and trust me, Beck DESERVED to win in this case
nah, u wanna compare both albums with a guy that listened to both of them multiple times and enjoyed both than holla at me
Prince G-MO Bro I have BOTH albums and I have seen Beck twice in concert and Beyonce 3 times.
humanparadox top 5 songs per album, top 3 worse songs
I dont know why kanye thinks he so talented these days...kanye dont even write his owns raps and he stop makin beats..hell lowkey kanye aint nothin but a new version of puff daddy without the dancing in the videos..
Huh? Didn't Ye just produce IDFWU with Mustard?
God Soul Production Obvious troll is obvious. Kanye too damn proud to have somebody else writing his rhymes and we all know it.
tochiRTA Dude, Johnathon Greer is a professional troll. He trolls just about every vlad video.
@God Soul Production i said make beats not produce..dj mustard made that beat
Johnathon Greer producing is making beats lol. And he, mustard, dahi, and key wayne produced IDFWU
IF 2PAC DIDN'T GET A GRAMMY FOR ALL EYEZ ON ME
AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD THEN BECK DIDN'T DESERVE SHIT.
How does this statement even make sense to you? Lol
Coop The Truth The Grammy's has been shit since Em called it back on The Real Slim Shady.
Coop The Truth Wanna make some extra money? click this link now and start earning$$ youthvisit.com/?userid=20407
ben brown Completely irrelevant comment.
Coop The Truth because Pac was nominated while in prison and while dead. He ain't get shit. That's wrong. Eminem won on his 1st album. Thats wrong.
I applaud Rico Love's rational thinking. It makes sense that we as a whole human population bar ourselves from listening to many forms of music, and I'll be one of the few to admit that I've never heard of Beck until the day after the Grammys. But I will say this; if the Grammys thought Beck was more deserving of album of the year, so be it. I also praise Rico for pointing out Kanye's flaw in respect of artistry. It rings true for all genres of music, and it must be passed by way of word
I'm sorry, I can't stand Beyonce's music. I mean, the girl who became popular with a song called ''bootylicious''. Come on! Beck more than Deserved that award. He is what a real Artist should be and he is one of the few left. A Lot of these popular ''artist'' are nothing more than just something the producers can have fun with to make money. They sure have some singing talent, but they need the marketing power and the whole circus act around them to be interesting. Beck can be amazing with nothing more than just.... him.
Also Beck has done so many genres and types of music, it is unbelievable how diverse his music is. I mean who would think songs like ''Where it's at'', ''Nicotine & Gravy'', ''Lost cause'', ''Hell Yes'', ''Wave'' would be al from the same person?! While people like Beyonce always make the same type of song with a little twist. Of Course the producers would not want to confuse the fans with something original.
Fuck off twat
I totally agree with you, bro
Just because she's Beyoncé doesn't mean she deserves every award out there... I'm a huge fan of hers, but compared to her other albums, her latest one is trash. Of course there are some, I repeat SOME, good songs on there, but still...
Beyoncé 1,000% deserved to win album of the year! She dropped an album with no promotion, & no cover art, & went number one! THAT GROUND BREAKING! That was a cultural reset! And it changed the way ppl dropped music! The impact of that album is still around today! Where tf is Beck??? WHERE! Where is the influence???? What is it doing today! How has it changed music??
Beyoncé has not changed music.
Damn Rico Love just dropped some knowledge once again. All the people who got a problem with Grammy voting need to watch this video.😂did y'all see how he was looking when vlad kept talking while he was trying to talk. Like nigga stfu you suppose to be interviewing me.
I remember Beck from the early 90's because I just *LOVE* all music, but he wasn't somebody that I was checkin' for. If I go that musical route, I'll take Depeche Mode. The Grammy's are all about popularity. That's why I thought Beyonce should've won. I guess they actually cared about art this time around and chose Beck. The tone of Beyonce's voice just drives me crazy. lol at people being afraid to talk about Beyonce. Her gay fans will pester you to no end. My music vocabulary is top notch so I know a little bit of everything. Black people are way too limited musically. Good interview.
So do I. I remember watching a clip him perform on the pre-VMA show he did in the 90s that aired a few years back on MTV Hits. Hell, I thought Beyoncé was going to win Best Urban Contemporary Album but Pharrell won instead of her. As well as him beating Sam Smith in the Pop Solo category.
David Richardson They shook things the fk up this year, huh?
LaCheleWallace Kendrick won two (he didn't go/wasn't broadcast) for "I". Eminem won two (one for the MMLP 2 album & The Monster w/Rihanna) and I thought was going to dominate all of the rap categories. I was kinda shocked that Sam Smith won four. Everyone told me it was mainly about his sexual orientation. But he's a great artist nonetheless.
David Richardson
kendrick winning for "I" was bullshit, lbs
So because I'm black it's safe to say I'm musically limited? Why is it alright for people to assume blacks are ignorant?
it goes back to her not being a songwriter singing harmonies isn't songwriting when prince said i tried to teach her some chords i knew then she wasn't about that composing and thats fine just don't take credit for things you didn't do and that is why she keeps getting sued i respect bey as a entertainer performer but not artistry
Vlad, why do u ask people allllllllllll these questions but when they throw the question back at u, u never actually give an answer?! How the F&%k u gonna ask people questions that you're not prepared to answer yourself?
Beyoncé is a vocalist Beck cant sing, he did a album alone,ok, but it doesnt mean it was good and his singing was just as dreadful, we dont need another voiceless hip hop star, Beyoncé plays zero instruments? Are you insane? Shes a vocalist, a great one, what she can do with her voice, Beck would dream of doing with, not only his voice(like he had one lol) but any other instrument he can rush.
You are a fucking moron, firstly beck can sing not amazingly but he still can sing, secondly the grammys isn't a singing contest it is awards for music and artistry and beck demonstrated more artistry he wrote and produce everything by himself along with playing multiple instruments. While beyonce needs 40 other people to produce and write an album for her. Thirdly the album was good you need to broaden your music taste. Finally beck has been around for 20 years and he isn't a hip hop artist he is a versatile and interesting artist, its just people like you who just like average pop music that beyonce turns out can't appreciate
Lord Skrilla Average pop music? Seems like you're not a musician, he doesn't "play" instruments, he rush them, someone that can rush instruments it's not a instrumentalist, the voice of a vocalist IS a instrument, and Beyoncé is amazing and a virtuoso as well. Do you like analogy? You're saying that an amateur designer is better than a professional one because he made the paper itself. It doesn't matter how long he's in the industry, it doesn't make him a better artist.
I find it funny how you said "Beyoncé plays zero instruments? Are you insane?" but failed to refute that point lmao. Tell us, what instruments does Beyonce play?
LynxShadow She uses her voice as a instrument... Thats why she's a vocalist and a virtuoso.
Music and Dragon 음악과 드래곤
That reach is ridiculous lmao. Ok, let's say that's true, Beck has that as well, as well as 13 more instruments. He wins. :)
Architect vs Carpenter
A carpenter builds a beautiful house on his own with no help.
An architect designs a skyscraper.
Think about it. The carpenter (rock artist) because of his job description is EXPECTED to sweat and do physical toil whereas an architect (R and B / Pop artist) is not. So holding up how many instruments / tools a carpenter can use vs how many an architect can is a bit fucked up, for real.
Which "building" is the best?
PPL are looking at the names and not at the actual body of work.
"he deserved his moment"...wtf are yall talking about. He had his moment. Did Kanye rush the stage Taylor Swift 2.0? No, he went backstage like a pro and was ASKED his opinion and he gave it.
"Morning Phase" was a great album. "Morning" "Waking Light" "Unforgiven" were the best tracks on that album BUT he had some that were ugh "Wave" "Blackbird Chain" "Don't Let It Go"
So did "Beyonce" she had "Superpower" "Heaven" "Blue" "No Angel" "Haunted" BUT she had some that were WTF Flawless was ugh, XO was annoying.
PPL should listen to BOTH albums before they pass judgement on this subject. Listen to the albums a good 3-4 times and understand the message and digest it then pass judgement. So many ppl are critiquing but didn't listen to either album.
I never heard of the name beck til the grammys
Product933 that means you probably listen to shit music. That’s not even saying Beck is great, but you’re obviously insulated from good music that’s out there by just listening to what the stations shove down your throat. People don’t realize how much better music is out there aside from what’s on radio and tv...
Hi all - here in 2023.. where is Beck? Meanwhile Drunk In Love is STILL trending.
stop it Rico! I want these people to stop with this black people don't listen to X or we don't say that we "don't know" about a particular artist..we are people stop lumping folks together please..
A voiceless hip hop singer that can rush instruments vs A virtuoso r&b/pop vocalist... The winner is?
Real Voice You're a loser, baby.
Imagine trying to categorize Beck into one category lol. Aaaaand he actually can sing, and doesn't rush his albums... ever
Incredible clarity
"Who gives a fuck about a goddamn Grammy?"
-- Flava Flave, "Terminator X To The Edge Of Panic" (1988)
Vlad is slipping. He's interviewing people who make a conscious effort to withhold opinion before informing themselves. At least the video has a proper click-bait title.
At the 6:40 mark I wouldn't say the misassociation has to do with racism but more with exposure. More of the general public might know about Beyonce and Kanye etc, but that doesn't entitle them to automatically winning awards simply because they have more fans. In all honesty I didn't even know Beck released his album until AFTER the ceremony, and I've known about his music for a long time. It's pretty unfair and rather narrow minded for people to say "I've never heard of this person SO WHY DID THEY WIN?!"
In the end it's all about music. A medium created by people for all of us to enjoy in our own way with unique styles that appeal to niche audiences, or greater groups of fans. It doesn't boil down to who wins more awards because of why they should, it boils down to the love of listening to these works.
Who is beyonce and why did he deserve to win over beck?
I respect Rico's music game a lot but he making a lot of crazy stereotypical generalizations... even 'MOST people never been out of their own city' ... that's just false bro ... maybe they ain't MOVE out of their city or MAYBE ain't been out their own state... but most people have left their city at some point... 'We' ain't some monolithic group and it isn't good to perpetuate that externally or internally like he is doing here
I find this logic so weird tho because at the end of the day it doesn’t help anyone. Hear me out. When Beyoncé lost to beck it was only one thing being said “ ARTISTRY OVER SALES”. Ok that’s fair even though her album was amazing let’s put that aside. On her next nomination when she lost to Adele the only other argument was “ SHE LOST BECAUSE ITS SALES OVER ARTISTRY GET OVER IT”
The Grammys pick and choose when to lean towards an artistic album vs an artist that was snubbed in previous years vs a more influential, “well-known” album, etc. Fast forward to the 2023 Grammys, and notable publications like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, etc. had “Renaissance” as the No. 1 album of 2022 because of it’s intricate artistry and high level of detail, yet she still lost.
It feels like the Grammy committee will find just about every excuse to not give Beyonce “Album of the Year” unless she makes the music that THEY would prefer for her to make or manages to produce an album of songs that perform so astronomically well in mainstream music culture that it would be crazy if they didn’t give her that award. White artists don’t have to go through this as much as black artists do. In 2023 , the excuse was “Beyonce has enough awards…why don’t we give AOTY to someone else”…and I wouldn’t be surprised if the committee comes up with another excuse the next go ‘round. It’s sad.
Cmon Vlad that Paul McCartney was a Desus trolling on twitter lol
That's so real about the who said it first! That's why I don't believe too much of what's ran by me from ppl that are running in circles I'm partially apart of or on the outside of, especially if i have thought of them to be cool and they ain't never done nothing to me. In regards to who beck is and what's unknown about Beck just off the strength that he won and no one from our community didnt know him goes to show the lack. I make it a thing to tap into diff backgrounds of music, if it got anything to do with love that's what's up. Those records from "Even Kings Die" made me melt. Anybody that has been around me has heard " I use to have faith in you" It's so funny cause I can't play that album without my mother saying play "Trifling". Super player!!!
the only thing I agreed with was the shit kanye said at the e channel post grammy show. the artists in the industry need to vote , and the fans as well, those that still buy records or those that use to buy records like myself should be apart of the grammy voting committee. the voting system been flawed for years. plus the grammys don't show our black artists in the cateogories theyre nominated in. that needs to change as well. everything else kanye said was complete utter bullshit, the usual ranting rhettoric that kanye does everyday. its boring now. he's a talented artists but he needs to keep his mouth shut or be banned from award shows for good. its disrespectful to interrupt anyone winning wether you agree or not. it shouldn't be taken for a joke and anyone that took it like that should have their asses kicked as well. because if beck or taylor swift interrupted his black ass, he wouldn't like it at all. if you don't like an artist , that's fine, simply don't listen to them, but don't start saying they should give back their award to the person you think should've won. beyonce is a talented artist and she will win many more, but she cant win all of them.
Kanye like that one guy in your group of friends that will pop off and set shit straight rather he's right or wrong when nobody else is brave enough to say what's on there mind....
However im not saying he was right in this situation though..
You're not setting shit straight if you're WRONG. You're just running your mouth and popping off.
He was talking about the Grammy's artistry not Beck's.
I've never heard of Rico love..But I enjoyed this interview.
You may not know him, but you know his work. He has wrote some of the biggest records for some of the biggest artist.. He is a heavyweight in the game
More Rico LOVE please!!!!
Even 4 years later, I still fully agree with this. People need to realize that quantity =/= quality. I respect both Beck & Beyoncé as they have influenced a lot of artists and have done a lot for the music industry and I respect people's opinions, but sometimes - let's agree to disagree. Beck has done almost everything on Morning Phase by himself - he wrote all the songs by himself, self-produced the album and played most of the instruments while having a few people help him with sound engineering and a few orchestral arrangements by David Campbell. Beyoncé just sings and that's pretty much it. There are too many songwriters and producers on her eponymous album which is brings it down, hence getting identical acclaim as Morning Phase did. And besides, she did win a general award before (Song of the Year), so people shouldn't really be brought down by this.
the paul mccartney shine thing was an internet sarcasm thing
He mentioned Simon and Garfunkel 😍. Much love. ❤️
This is real! Now a jamar video is going to come out saying something bad about rico love lol
Ringo gonna cut your throat Vlad. What you mean "only real Beatle left"? LMAO. Good video. Fuck with Rico.
I wish racist cops were not so quick to judge blacks....
This dude is so industry that his real personality is just buried
Kanye West is a crazy, old, closeted gay man. Go watch his rants about fashion on Sway and Charlamagne's shows for proof. Beck is also old so his better days are behind him. I would advise anyone curious about the guy to peep is mid-late '90s albums that possess beats and swag for days.
Facts!!! I read many comments saying I've never heard of Beck the Grammys is bullshit which I always considered to be ignorant as hell. As far as who had the better album dont know and don't care haven't listened to either.
if Beyoncé was single, i believe Kanye would try to woo her. what the shit is wrong with him, All he ever does is talk about Beyoncé.
Lol I use to get picked on too not listening to trap and rap all day. Shit gets old to me.
This cat is preaching the gospel
Respect to Rico Love, he put that PERFECTLY! At the same time he himself is a guy like Beck that DOES IT ALL, Produce, Write and he can Perform so he understands how HARD THAT IS compared to somebody showing up to sing what is already prepared for them! Also Kanye clearly puts too much damn value into that Award. No other Artist from any other Genre gives a FUCK about that Award besides Kanye West!
No vlad that was a troll who said that
THIS MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH..... BEST VIDEO OF THE DAY.
Beyonce released a visual album
A visual album= An album with a video for each song. Dont try to be slick and make it seem more artsy than it really was. Remember, 50 re-released the Massacre with a video for each song.
Big s/o to Rico Love for saying what I been screaming since Kanyes misguided rant... WE ARE THE DAMN PROBLEM. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH URBAN MUSIC PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE QUALIFIED TO VOTE PARTICIPATING IN THE GRAMMY VOTE. HE IS 100% RIGHT.
C'MON RICO..THEY CAN FIX THE ELECTIONS, WORLD SERIES. WHY DO YOU THINK THE GRAMMY'S CAN'T BE FIXED
Extremely well put
"By the way, most people never been outside they own city" -Rico Love BRUH!!!!! #CutZooWorld
I was going to think that his wife Kim Kardashian didn't care, had no comment and was going to tell the whole paparazzi it was none of their business after he was going to ruin Beck's moment.
Give this man a Grammy!
man he spoke the truth black people should get out the box theres more music out here in this world but are to scared of what people think.shit i got into beck when loser came out.
Beck did not deserve the album. It really shouldn't be for a debate. This is the Grammy's. It's music. It's literally impossible to judge on just quality. Especially considering they're different genres. So in other categories you have, Beyonce being better received by critics and fans. Obviously doing better numbers. Forever influencing album promotion and singles release. While Beck had an album that was about as good as hers but accomplished less. And everyone's excuse? Beck plays a lot of instruments? It's ALBUM OF THE YEAR. Not most talented artist and their input toward the album of the year.
They're both mediocre either way.
Beyonce didn't habe album of the year she had marketing of the year
MizzReyRey I'm sorry but Beyonce's album was more a testiment that she can sell anything with her name on it more than quality work.
MizzReyRey The "dialect it sparked" and "impact it had" was not for everybody....just because YOU didnt hear of Beck or hear his music on the radio, doesnt mean he wasn't HUGE to a big population and his own fanbase--which was built over the past 20 years.
Wordisgood I can't agree with you there. It was big for everybody. It completely changed album promotion for people who are willing to do what she did. That's a pretty big impact. Do you know how much money is used on promo and how much singles cost as well as other things? That's a universal impact.
Shawn Jones You need to pull your head out of your ass and listen to Beck.
Congratulations Beck.
I been hip to beck..I've always been a "nerdy thug".. This was a good interview.. And I've always liked beck..what's funny..him and kanye a lot alike .on the music tip far as pushing the envelope.. Kanye did that just to f with people..lol
WOA WOA WOA RIngo is definitely a legit Beatle
I love this opinion .. I'm a fan of Rico love for this a unbiased opinion beck produced, wrote and composed a great project. Beyoncé used 16 writers produced nothing but is still a great artist cause ashanti given the same project couldn't not make the songs sound as great as they does
i think im gonna do my research on beck,before i say anything negative about him.
Playing instruments and writing songs have nothing to do it with. beck had the better album overall. But if Beck won over dangerously in love then I would agree with Kanye
1st.............how is everyone going?
Okay Rico Love is a well spoken guy. I thought he was jerk based on some of lyrics.
"Changed the game with that digital drop know where you was when that digital popped"
Beyonce
very good discussion -
got a lot of respect for Rico
I agree and I'm a BEYONCE STAN. I need more ballads, B!
that paul mccartney stuff was a joke fellas come on :)
Theodore Cajuste nah, some people out there are really that stupid. I promise you lol, I wish it wasn’t the case but I’m pretty sure it is.
Kanye Yu rich enough to give out awards why he don't make up his own awards
I actually bought Becks album unlike you other commenters, Becks album was the perfect background music, its the kind of shit that plays in the background at an Urban Outfitters, Beyonce's album was ehh, in reality, to me Sam Smith Had the best project
***** he does but the rest of the albums where ehhhh, Sam's was the best of the group, even though I didn't like his album that much
Well said. 👏👏👏
More Rico Love!
Much respect for Rico love He's the truth.
Beyonce was robbed. These guys are acting like she had nothing to do with her album. "As a Beyonce fan" ... nah, he's not a Beyonce fan. He just wanted to go against a popular opinion to make himself look more of a connoisseur.
well i listened to iggys body of work and she should not have had any nominations at all
this fool look way older than Usher
Please Beyhive do not come from me lol
well said
shit rico love im a weido to im into beck slayer slipknot alot and alot of metal.but at some what i rarely listen to alot of rap unless its MF DOOM and odd future also alot of classic stuff
Sooooooo true
Who is Rico Love ?
Who knows??? But he's amazing...
This is why is cd never drop dude good ppl but mad corny
Bey.... Don't work with Rico AGAIN. Kinda shady. Sweet Dreams and Radio should be IT. Never again. My two cents.
do the knowledge before you speak...that's all.
Ohhh.....i figured out who he tries to be....50 Cent...lol....
MKE......
truu
No one came for Whitney Houston or MJ for not playing instruments. This guy is just talking like this to make himself to look better.
Jordan Cannon mj could actually play drums and he wrote majority of the songs
and she can play piano and writes on all of her songs. What is your point?
Jordan Cannon who is she? I never heard of Whitney Houston playing piano. Or are you talking about beyonce? And Beyonce not a real songwriter she doesn't write the music she probably picks track and write lyrics with other people. My point is to put your comment in perspective at least the MJ part also this guys comments about Mj having tons of writers negating the fact he actually wrote pretty much all his hits words and music alone.
I applaud Rico Love's rational thinking. It makes sense that we as a whole human population bar ourselves from listening to many forms of music, and I'll be one of the few to admit that I've never heard of Beck until the day after the Grammys. But I will say this; if the Grammys thought Beck was more deserving of album of the year, so be it. I also praise Rico for pointing out Kanye's flaw in respect of artistry. It rings true for all genres of music, and it must be passed by way of word
