The 2023 Grammy Awards may ultimately be remembered as the year the music industry's top event tried to embrace rap, whose leaders have regarded the institution with suspicion for almost as long as the 50 years of history that were celebrated on Sunday.
It was only four years ago that song of the year winner Childish Gambino boycotted the show over perceived disrespect for rap. Kanye West and Eminem were among past stars with groundbreaking work overlooked for more middling fare and, for years, rappers complained their work was banished from TV.
Nearly as important was the eight-minute version of DJ Khaled's "God Did" that closed the show -- Khaled took public note of the length -- that featured a spellbinding appearance by Jay-Z. Kendrick Lamar gave an incisive acceptance speech after "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" won a Grammy for best rap album, his third trophy in this category.
