So they cancel Kanye and discriminated against Drake, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, and many others over the years. This will only be broken by us uniting our powers to bring about change moving forward.”He then revealed his proposal to have <a href="https://uproxx.com/music/drake-jack-harlow-surprise-singer-20k/" target="_blank">Drake</a>, <a href="https://uproxx.com/music/the-weeknd-the-simpsons-voice-orion-hughes/" target="_blank">The Weeknd</a>, <a href="https://uproxx.com/music/nicki-minaj-younger-female-rappers-haters/" target="_blank">Nicki Minaj</a>, <a href="https://uproxx.com/music/kanye-west-donda-2-update-fivio-foreign/" target="_blank">Kanye West</a>, and more come together to lead the hip-hop show. J Prince went as far as to say the show should take place in Las Vegas where the Grammys are set to take place.“I recommend that the artists I mentioned above—and more—come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network and streaming platform to prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the No. 1 selling genre in music — hip-hop — come together,” he said. “Because there’s power in numbers.” He concluded by saying, “The powers that be will be mad at me about this one. But f*ck ’em! I love the culture. The seed has been planted; let’s water it.”You can listen to J Prince’s full audio message about the proposed hip-hop show and what inspired it above.<a href="https://uproxx.com/music/j-prince-hip-hop-show-grammy-night/" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></blockquote>
