    As you know, every year the Grammys does this in memoriam segment honoring those lost over the last year.

    This year's included celebs like Olivia Newton-John, Lisa Marie Presley, David Crosby, Irene Cara, Stephen "tWitch" Boss, and Takeoff. It was probably close to three dozen people, in all.

    But there were also quite a few names missing, from Aaron Carter to Gangsta Boo — and people are not happy about it:

    Leaving out Gangsta Boo, one of the pioneers of Southern female rap, from the GRAMMY memoriam segment is a sin and a shame.

    Wow they didn’t say RIP to lil keed, or Trouble.

    Not at all surprised but still disappointed to not see Jeremiah Green of @modestmouseband in the In Memoriam presentation. #GRAMMYs

    People also noted that the segment left out Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters; however, Taylor was actually honored at last year's show.

    The memorial doesn't appear to have been uploaded to any official Grammy pages yet, but you can read about those who were included here.
