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

[Mindfield333]

Dsmoke should have been replaced by Little Brother or Run The Jewels.


But otherwise VERY good list

No. And I’ve been a LB fan since 02.

Outside of Nas and maybe Royce, this that Pitchfork CAC Review nominee list

You clearly haven’t listened to Alfredo.

Alfredo deserves this Grammy musically over Nas album

 

[Conscious Pilot]

My Name Cocaine they ain’t gonna put me in the Nominees

 

[Nero Christ]

wished Conway got a nom too but to the GOAT

& got the confirmation email that my King's Disease physical is getting delivered too

 

[Mindfield333]

only on the coli are these albums getting nominated over Lil Baby, Roddy, and Pop Smoke acceptable

I’d swap out the Royce album for Lil baby album tbh. Freddie, Lil baby & D smoke were some of my favorite releases this year

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

On the real though, they really need separate categories for hip hop.

Gotta stop the youngin'-oldhead divide yall

they have one for the songs called "melodic rap"

 

[Majestyx]

at d smoke being on the fukkin list. who's this nikka paying to get this push.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Congratulations to Nas for the nomination. This could be the year he gets it. And congratulations to the person who put together the nominations because it's obvious the other rap categories were put together by the usual suspects.

And none for Eminem

Eminem doesn't fukk with the Grammys anymore. He dissed them on Kamikaze ("Then give Album of the Year to somebody that no one's ever even heard of"), told them to not nominate him or invite him ever again, and shytted on their entire voting process calling it "fake as fukk." If he kept quiet, Music to Be Murdered By would have been nominated this year and Kamikaze would have been nominated in 2019.

Then you aren’t truly a fan. That album was amazing top to bottom

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Lyricism is still alive

 

[Loose]

Twitter is flaming this oldhead ass list

Also who tf is D Smoke

you don't know who D smoke is?

 

[Majestyx]

Am I wrong for thinking that there should be 2 rap/hip hop categories?

Like one for the radio friendly accessible music that deserves praise (pop smoke, lil baby, Roddy rich etc,) then the traditional rapping albums like these listed above.

Because this list is a great rappers list, but doesn’t actually show the real landscape of hip hop right now. but overall solid list

mines would be:
Lil Baby
Nas
Freddie
Pop Smoke
Roddy Ricch
Royce (if I could make it 6 lol)

You mean just put that Pop shyt in POP... yeah, that would make sense.

Maybe people should also contemplate that a lot of that shyt is damn near a new genre in itself. i feel like these young brehs created something new and it shouldnt be lumped into that "rap" category

 

[Ziggiy]

You clearly haven’t listened to Alfredo.

Alfredo deserves this Grammy musically over Nas.

 

[NormanConnors]

First time I could actually respect every artist listed

Facts, reading the list like

I would have totally missed this/not paid any attention to the Grammys if it wasnt for this thread.


Even though Elzhi has the real album of the year

 

[KeysT]

Said what I said.
