How Korean Pop Music Is Making an Influence in America
I have been a follower of Korean Pop (more commonly referred to as "K-Pop") for a little over a year now, and little did I know that it would make an image for itself in our country. With the popular K-Pop boy group BTS receiving two gold singles from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and being seen on numerous televisions everywhere (from being at the Billboard Music Awards, to The Ellen DeGeneres Show), it is pretty amazing to see some Asian foreigners earning the attention they rightfully deserve.

The Grammys Doesn't Give a F@!ck About Black Artists
The Grammys has long stood as the pinnacle achievement for music artist in America. Some of the world's greatest artist have graced the stage of the Grammys. So, it's no wonder that it is the biggest night in music history, that is, until it began to snub those artists who are more deserving in favor of those who are usually white and male. Shocker! In my opinion, the Grammys has a long standing history for awarding artists who represent pop culture rather than those who have created a high quality body of work that transcends the mainstream platforms.
