Cardi B Didn’t Submit ‘WAP’ For Grammy Consideration And She Explained Why
Atlantic ‘WAP’ wasn’t snubbed, it just wasn’t in the running. …
When the Recording Academy releases its annual list of Grammy nominees (as it did yesterday), there’s always backlash. It felt particularly potent this year, though, since The Weeknd, who put out some of the most commercially and critically successful music of the year, was somehow completely absent from the nominations. He wasn’t the only superstar missing from the list, though, as Cardi B’s “WAP,” perhaps the biggest single of the year, isn’t up for any Grammys. There’s a good reason for that, however: Cardi didn’t actually submit the song for consideration, and now she has explained why.
Yesterday, she said in an Instagram Live video:
“Stop playing with me. Like I said, I’m never pressed for a Grammy, but y’all are not gonna take away something that I know that I worked my ass off that I deserve. If I was pressed for a Grammy. I would have submitted ‘WAP’ for this year, and I didn’t submit it. I didn’t submit it. I didn’t want to be submitted to award shows until I put out my album because I think my album is so good, and it just means something and I worked on it a lot. I’ve been working on it for almost two years. Some songs are so emotional to me because I did them during quarantine. I’m not pressed or nothing, but y’all not gonna keep doing this sh*t constantly, constantly because y’all are upset. Y’all cannot take my success.”

MORPHEUS VON DOBENHAUSEN lets go of the chaos, dancing steady soft and slow in latest release “GOODBYE CHAOS”
MORPHEUS VON DOBENHAUS’s new song, “Goodbye Chaos,” is a calm end to a lot of chaos. From the first beat, you can tell that this is a message. Now there is a beat instead of noise. This groove is relaxing and welcoming, like stepping into a rhythm that has been waiting for you. No more spinning in the storm, just letting go and getting into the rhythm.
The piece goes from calm to lively without stopping. The way each beat is put together makes the listener feel at home and also moves them forward. Things have gotten better, there is no more noise. MORPHEUS has created a track in which the storm stops and the sounds are almost calm. The groove is good, the rhythm is right, and the beats sound like a heartbeat of peace after a lot of noise.
People who listen will feel like they are in a place that is both small and big. “Goodbye Chaos” doesn’t just want your attention, it needs it. The beat makes you feel like you belong, and you want to stay that way even after the song is over. You can find peace in the middle of chaos where every beat feels like home, this is the rhythm listeners would want to know. The change is here goodbye chaos.

SkillMusicsa speaks in silence when love fades with latest release “How Could You”
SkillMusicsa’s latest track, “How Could You,” is a good example of openness. It gives you an R&B experience that stays with you long after the last note. The song captures the complicated tension between fading love and unspoken goodbyes. It was written at a time when the writer was experiencing both personal grief and academic success, as they were turning in their PhD thesis.
The beat is boom-bap, and the vocal sample sounds like Akon’s “Lonely.” SkillMusicsa’s delivery is honest and unfiltered, drawing listeners into the subtle pain of emotional disconnection and the guilt that often comes with the end of love. The best thing about “How Could You” is how easy it is. The song doesn’t have a lot of extra sounds or production, instead, it has a careful layering of sound and emotion that shows how strong it is. Every pause and change in the voice seems planned, which makes a weak story into an interesting one.
It captures a feeling and a moment in time that everyone has had. Suppose you’ve been through the painful end of a relationship or just like R&B that expresses deep feelings, “How Could You” hits home with honesty and depth. SkillMusicsa shows that real art comes from accepting flaws and turning them into music that touches the heart. SkillMusicsa’s “How Could You” is a thoughtful journey that shows how heartbreak can be both painful and beautiful.
