No offense to polka, but that’s a terrible false equivalence. You’re reducing someone’s cultural impact to “award nominations” and also, “Grammy nomination for polka” and “Grammy nomination for rap” is like saying that “The academy award for set design is the same as the academy award for best actor.” The Versatones weren’t up against Jay-Z, Nelly, DMX and Missy Elliott for their award.

If you have the privilege to do whatever you want, hopefully “whatever you want” is positive and not punching down
