SOHH Squad
[With the Grammy Awards sparking some backlash from hip-hop's elite like Snoop Dogg, New York rapper Safaree Samuels gives SOHH readers his take on the awards ceremony and dishes on what's on deck for him.]
I’m not going to lie, I definitely did not watch The Grammys. I don’t know. I’ve been there before. The decisions are never what they should be and it’s just weird to me. I don’t even really watch it.
I definitely am geared toward people appreciating my music and what I put out there.
I don’t think an award defines you. At the end of the day, whether people know it or not, these awards have a lot to do with politics. That doesn’t define an artist to me.
I might have to put my plans to go to Jamaica [this upcoming weekend] back because I don’t want to rush it. I was going to shoot a music video and I don’t want to rush it.
So I’m just going to push it back and when the time is right, I’m going to go out there and definitely shoot some stuff. I want people to see how ill it is out there.
I just want to make my mark. I want people to realize how different I am and versatile. I really am a smart person whether people know it or not.
I don’t just say the first thing that comes to my mind in my music. I’m going to say something that’s going to make you say, “Oh, that’s an ill metaphor.”

It always look crazy to me, when someone is wearing a hot a$$ fur coat and ppl in the background have on t-shirts.
