This is not for the meek. We are going to keep it all the way real and go all the way in. Brace yourself as this will be a session of Grammy Truth 101.

  1. The Grammys were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too LONG!
  2. Paris Jackson looked so Basic
  3. Adele STORMED the night  with her wins but left her singing voice in the Limo
  4. Beyonce’ was Utter Slayage
  5. Bruno Mars KILLED the Prince tribute
  6. Chance The Rapper was on a whole nother Level
  7. Solange looked amazing for her 37 seconds of airtime
  8. Katy Perry was Awesome
  9. J. Lo is a Sex Goddess and her dress was oh so perfect on her
  10. Jason Derulo looked like he was at a Ski Resort
  11. John Leged was awesome
  12. Neil Diamond still has it
  13. Faith Hill looked so Beautiful

Now that that is out of the way, let’s get down to Business.

Jay-Z and Blue Ivy looked so cute in their evening attire. It has been said that Blue Ivy was channeling her inner Prince with the Gucci effect.

Everyone on our timeline was waiting for Beyonce to hit the stage. In all honesty, all we remember prior to that is Chance the Rapper winning a lot of awards (Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance). LoL!

When Beyonce hit the stage a lot of fans were confused by her effect. Some were praising the Goddess look and others were wanting her to try again. While scrolling down twitter we found the following explanation for the effect and thought it was interesting enough to share.

Now, on to the effect:

What are your thoughts on the effect Queen-Yonce gave???

As we move to the main awards for the night, at least in our opinion.

  • Album Of The Year- Adele
  • Song of the Year- Adele
  • Record of the Year- Adele

Chileeeeeeee, when this came out the Bey-Hive went into a stir. No shade to Adele, “Hello” was an amazing song and “25” was a dope album, however, “Lemonade” SLAYED for the Music GODZZZZZ and was the Talk of Pop Culture for months. Fans felt Bey was shaded by the Grammy Panel. Take a look at the reaction from Gabrielle Union after the Adele streak:

Your Thoughts????

Furthermore, some interesting facts were dropped on twitter last night. Not that everything is race driven, however, this breakdown made us wonder:

Interesting…….

Though Rihanna took home no awards, the Navy showed out with their support for her outfit. No shade, the top was cute, but the skirt could have stayed on the table she pulled it off of.

We love us some Ri-Ri, but the skirt is def on our No Go list.

In any case, we didn’t see Kelly Rowland but thanks to Solange we got to see her at the after party. Haaaaaaaaay Kelly!

All in all, the Grammys were way too long for no reason at all. Congrats to all the Winners and those who received Nominations. And, in honor of the award giving, our Favorite Pics of the Night Award goes to……….

What are your thoughts on the 2017 Grammys? Good, Bad, or Indifferent.

Daron from 112 vs. Adele

Leave a comment


Now, we tried our hardest not to do this but it got to a point of no return.

After 3.36 MILLION Albums sold in week 1, I’m sure we are all verse in Adele’s recent comeback single entitled “Hello.” Recently, R&B Legend Daron Jones of the Famed Group 112. You know Daron. The one who wishes he was Slim and tries to sing like Michael Keith. Yeah Gurl. That Daron. Well anyways, doing what he does best lately, he did a COVER to Adele’s “Hello.”

Now let me say this:

  1. Covers on a Regular Basis are for Independent Artist seeking to gain notoriety from Mainstream songs that are popular.
  2. It allows an artist to showcase their talent and introduce themselves to the Famed Artist’ Base.
  3. It is NOT suppose to be for 90’s hasbeens attempting to hold on to what once was. Especially when the WORLD knows who they are and that they are an Amazing Talent.
  4. I feel Daron is:
  5. Too Legendary for such shananagians.
  6. Too Famous for such executions.
  7. Too old for entry level tactics.

In any case, he did the cover and all of a sudden………. Bytchhhhhhh! His Instagram Timeline was FILLED with:


  
Bytch da Fukk?????? All I could say was, 

Now listen, before I read. Get into it for yourself:

Now! Here are the facts

IMG_0911

  1. He sounded nice
  2. Smooth execution
  3. Too many runs
  4. He started whining after a while
  5. He is nothing close to Adele
  6. Joe’s Cover was better with his crying ass
  7. I was bored after the first 45 seconds
  8. All his fans who said his version sounded better then Mother Deles need to be slapped
  9. If he sound so good why didn’t   sell 3.36 Million Copies?
  10. He still ain’t no Michael Keith
  11. He finally sound better than Slim
  12. He still sexy tho

In any case, we here at TrueSlamBook.com are not haters as I know some are calling us. Bytch u know we keep it REAL.

Now, on another note, when’s the next 112 album dropping?

Adele Serves in the Name!!!!!

Listen, the Bey-Hive is Upset Bytch. Mother Adele has slayed the charts and Beyoncé has Never.

Now, you know we live for us some Queen Bey but the stans have been going H A M on Social Media over Beyoncé vs. Adele.

Well, we know the numbers don’t lie.

Adele’s red-hot new album “25” sold a whopping 3.38 million copies in its first week — making it the first ever to sell more than 3 million copies in a single week since Nielsen Music began tracking album sales.

The critically acclaimed LP obliterated the previous record for most album sales in one week, which was held for nearly 15 years by *NSYNC after they sold more than 2.4 million copies of “No Strings Attached” in 2000.

Adele’s eye-popping output is particularly impressive considering no other album besides “No Strings Attached” has even sold more than 2 million copies in one week. In fact, only 20 albums have eclipsed the 1 million-sales plateau according to Nielsen, which tracks album sales every Friday through every Thursday.

The British singer’s latest album is already the largest selling album for all of 2015, surpassing Taylor Swift’s “1989,” which has sold 1.8 million copies since the turn of the calendar after dropping late last year.

The hot-selling “25” hit shelves on Friday, Nov. 20, and it had already sold more than 2.3 million copies as of the following Monday.

The hot-selling “25” hit shelves on Friday, Nov. 20, and it had already sold more than 2.3 million copies as of the following Monday.

“There isn’t anybody that I’ve talked to in the music business who hasn’t been astonished by these numbers,” Dave Bakula, an executive at Nielsen, told the Associated Press.

Fans were extremely eager for “25” to hit shelves, as it had been nearly five years since Adele released new music. Her previous album, “21,” has sold 11.2 million copies — the 10th most in American music history.

Adele’s enormous album sales have likely been influenced by her decision to not make “25” available on streaming services such as Spotify or Apple Music, meaning fans needed to purchase the album to listen to it.

Last year, Swift also enjoyed considerable success for after pulling her music off Spotify, as her “1989” album sold 1.3 million in its first week.
Congrats to Adele. She #Slayed.
