Nas, Royce, Gibbs and Jay Electronica are nominees for rap album of the year at the Grammy’s

[Big Boss]

Nas knows who 9th is.


He gave him a compliment on his last Breakfast Club interview.


Nas just never cared to use 9th’s beats. And he told 9th that to his face

 

[JYoung24]

the youngest dude in the Best Rap Album category is 35, and the rest are in their 40s.

gibbs isnt in his 40's

The only one of these I actually listened to was Jay Elec.

Gotta do some research soon

The only one you have listened to is Jay electronica??

 

[Starburst]

Easy to do that after he had already won though......same Kanye attention seeking rebel tactics!!

Better late then never...I didn’t see the same smoke for Jay-Z when he called out the Grammys...

 

[AJtheOne]

Jay Electronicabum.

Roycenever cared for him.

D Smoke???? Don't know who he is.

Nas. Got respect for him, love his old work but haven't listened to his new shyt.

Gibbs is not as good as y'all say he is. Alfredo was very solid tho.

Overall. The Grammys fukked up like usual they need to add more balance and make another categories maybe. They do it for other genres. They have no respect for the culture so they just give us a few categories and call it a day. Smh. Yet rap and black culture sell the most and influence the whole world.

Sounds like you just aren't a fan of rap at all anymore to be honest.

lil baby and pop smoke literally have the highest selling rap albums this year, regardless of how gatekeeping oldheads feel they are a representation of what modern day hip hop is whether they wanna accept it or not, not some 35+ year old rappers with niche audiences

just because they sold the most they should be the nominted ?theres alot of trash thats sells alot those albums where not album of there year quality i dont care how popular they were i dont even consider myself either

 

[L $ C]

i love all these type albums but man look, after thinking about this thread for a few days without posting...the fact that pop smoke album wasnt nominated but royce n d smoke were is a joke....it is man and im pretty backpack hip hop

 

[JYoung24]

U nikkas son

Popularity matters in life it’s just the truth those who should be recognized are the ones who have an impact on our culture those who are influential

There’s nothing special about Royce or Gibbs albums nothing.

And there’s nothing that makes them better albums than My Turn. The music on My Turn is better.

my turn is not better

 

[ISO]

my turn is not better

Quality is opinions

My Turn had a hell of a lot more impact and that’s a fact

Impactful works should be lauded

 

[Ziggiy]

I wonder if this will set a precedent going forward. It would be dope to see artists like Benny The Butcher, Elzhi, Common, Phonte, and more kind of underground artists get some shine with album nominations. Hell even some “fringe” mainstream artists like Ab Soul, Isaiah Rashad, JID, RTJ, would be dope

 

[OfTheCross]

The only one you have listened to is Jay electronica??

Yup. Thought it was great too

 

[Ziggiy]

Yup. Thought it was great too

Loved Written Testimony

 

[kes929]

Yup. Thought it was great too

Yea i was just wondering how you haven't listened to the other albums.

 

[prophecypro]

If D Smoke wins it might actually be a bad thing for him giving people already see him in an industry plant way
