So I think we will see people.

But no, we don't know yet who any of them might be.

He sure did.

He is now the most awarded rapper in Grammy history.

He has 27 wins.

He surpassed Jay-Z's 25.

And five more awards for Kendrick.

You know, he was the leading nominee.

He came in with nine.

He actually only could have won eight because he was nominated twice in the same category.

And, you know, unless he tied with himself, he was only going to win eight.

But to win five of those is really incredible because he had such a huge year last year.

And typically what we see in the Grammys are these cyclical things.

You know, an artist has a big year and then the next year you don't really hear from them much, much like with Taylor and Beyonce.

And then, you know, maybe two years later, three years later, they're going to come back.

But for Kendrick to do this back to back and SZA actually came backstage and talked to us and was asked about the longevity of Luther and how, you know, the song had come out a pretty long time ago and the fact that it's still, you know, being awarded and recognized now.

And that really just kind of speaks to the durability of the song and the fact that, you know, so many people loved it, that it was still able to be in social and public consciousness all these months later.

I think so.

You know, depending on when you grew up and how you grew up listening to music, you might look at it and say, you know, anybody who comes off TikTok or who comes off YouTube or whatever, just really that's not the same as playing in your garage and playing for, you know, five people in a bar.

And that is all true to an extent.
