That whole thing confused me because it's supposed to be a tribute to the Best Original Song category but a ton of them weren't original songshttps://twitter.com/ilyseh/status/1226694375759065088 …

And yeah it obviously does shut out hip-hop from this award Like by any sense of what this award is for "Fight the Power" from Do the Right Thing ABSOLUTELY should've won this award but it was never eligible because it's made from a ton of (unrecognizable) samples

The funny thing is Eminem went to great lengths to make "Lose Yourself" eligible for Best Original Song (It contains no samples and no references to other songs or other rappers, the first verse is directly about the plot of the movie, he literally wrote it during shooting)

That's fair. I do kind of see partially writing a song before it was adapted for a movie as different from transforming someone else's work while writing a full song for a film, but I also just have a lot of odd philosophical thoughts on the concept of "originality" in general.

What? Imagine getting a paper rejected from a conference journal because you copied something from your notes.
