My first Grammy wasn't even in a jazz category, but of course I was really excited. 'Rockit' was the beginning of kind of a new era for the whole hip-hop movement.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Grammys because I don't see the music world as a competitive sport.
I respect the Grammys, being a writer. But me being an artist representing hip hop? No.
Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show.
Congratulations to 'Countdown' - it was an evening I will never forget - and a special thank you to Molly Meldrum.
I haven't watched MTV's annual Video Music Awards since Bill Clinton was president. I was wearing a plastic choker, and Alanis Morissette won for 'Ironic.'
Benjamin Franklin didnt win 21 Grammys right?
One of the first country artists I got to work with was Carrie Underwood at the Grammy Awards.
