[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

I didn't even think about this. You might be right on this one. The anti-semitic and Farrakhan association might torpedo it though.

Real talk. I don't even think the fukking committee listens to the albums. I don't know how they choose the winners, but I know with the nominees they have a committee and they just sort of differ to them. I've heard that's how it's done with picking the winners as well. Some of this stuff came to light when 9th Wonder/Q-Tip had the drama.

I’m glad that Cac’s superficial ass “reign” is over

Not really considering he called the Grammy committee out on their BS nomination policy and pretty much told them to leave his name out of their mouth.

 

[Ziggiy]

What was Kanye's nomination? I couldn't find it.

And Eminem was an easy nomination for years. Before Revival, literally all of his albums got nominated. Even after he said what he said, they still nominated him for Best Rap Song in 2019. I definitely believe his comments had something to do with it because why nominate "Lucky You" and not the album it came from? Eminem's people got in the Academy's ear and let them know to leave him alone, and they listened.

Kanye got nominated for Best Contemporary Christian Album

Like I said Kanye PISSED on his Grammy and still got a nom. Its over for Cac Shady

Nas or Alch might actually get a Grammy

P in heaven smiling right now

Right? I know neither one has one for an album they were entirely involved in, but I'd be curious to know if Nas has any Grammy's from albums he was featured on. It's kinda dope, actually. If you are in the liner notes for an album that win, you get a Grammy. 9th Wonder and Alchemist both got Grammy plaques for the beats they did on DAMN by Kendrick, for example.

So if Nas was ever featured on an album that won a Grammy, then technically he's a Grammy award winning artist, but obviously not in the way we all want him to be. I know I'm being a nerd about this.

It's high time Nas got a Grammy for a Nas album. And for the record King's Disease isn't my #1 AOTY, but I'd still like to see Nas get it; I'm not hopeful Nas will ever have a better shot than now.

I fukkin' forgot that Em album even dropped this year. Music to be Murdered By?

The crazy thing is I'm looking at my Apple Music "AOTY2020" playlist (I always put my favorite projects each year on a playlist) and out of the almost 400 songs (about 25 LPs and EPs I have on there for 2020), it never crossed my mind to put his on there.

And it's his best work in at least 10 years too

She was nominated for a bunch of other categories

Congratulations to Meg, I haven’t closely followed her career trajectory, but was she already on this path, or did her involvement in the shooting incident influence all this?

 

[Kaydigi]

Hope Nas or Gibbs and ALC get it. Dope ass list!!!! Roc Marci should be nominated for MT. Marci next year.


Jay-Z and Jay E are going to go 0-9.

She was almost guaranteed a nomination or two for that Savage song with Beyonce.

The Coli before today:

‘fukk the Grammys anyway, who cares about the white mans approval’

The Coli today:

‘omg I’m so happy Nas finally got nominated I could cry this was long overdue’

Which one is it

I love all these artist listed in these nominations, but calling it spade this is some Pitchfork CAC list. Lil Baby album was better than Jay Electronicas shyt

Pitchfork heavily promoted Lil Baby though.

Cats like #1, platinum selling artists but talk about them like they're Lyricist Lounge super underground rappers nobody heard of.

shyt is crazy as hell.

Fred.

 

[Ziggiy]

Gibbs or nas probably take it. Seems overdue for nas even if this album wasn’t really his best. I’m surprised big Sean wasn’t nominated, even though his album didn’t really stand a chance.

Sean dropped like two weeks after the deadline
