[Piff Perkins]

The Grammys love giving posthumus awards. Cherry Wine is definitely gonna have a very good chance of winning

 

[Astonish]

I hope Drake wins for Take Care.

lol 2 Chainz.

 

[tremonthustler1]

@ everyone all giddy that Nas got 3 Grammy nods

Fast forward to Grammy night and nikkas here will be like "fukk a Grammy. Those cacs don't know hip-hop like we do " after Nas doesn't win

 

[Patrick Kane]

2 Chainz with 2 grammy nods?

 

[Ziggiy]

So he got 4 nominations?

Best Rap Album

Best Rap Performance

Best Rap/Sung collab

Best Rap Song

I think this is the most nominations he's ever received in one ceremony. He's gonna win best rap/sung collaboration and if there was ANY fukking justice in the world he'd win best rap album but I'm not going to get my Stan hopes up for that (I think the CACS will give it to drake, which actually I won't be upset about since Take Care made my list of best albums of 2011)

Props to the academy for showing love to Lupe also. f&L2 is an incredible return to form for Lupe and one of the most lyrically excellent albums of the year. I'm actually not upset at any of the Best Rap album nominations for once

 

[hiphopfanatic]

I like some of his music, but does Flo Rida really deserve a nod?

[Rapmastermind]

I like some of his music, but does Flo Rida really deserve a nod?

"Wild Ones" and "I got that feeling" as well as "Whistle Baby" were all big club hits.
