[Vintage Eclectic]

Judging by the list, I see Kendrick taking home at least 3. I do hope the Clipse leave with something though. They had a great album

Billboard predict a Kendrick sweep, including AOTY

As it should.
Dot deserves at least 5,...would be the 4th time he wins at least 5 grammy the same night

A lefty gunplay Grammy nomination is the ultimate not on my bingo card EVER

 

[KillKenny]

GNX came out in 2024, it's still counted though?

[semicko82]

If GNX doesn't win AOTY, I don't ever see a rap album winning for a minute.

Yes all the eligible nominees had to submit their work from Aug 2024 to Aug 2025

Cool, he might pass Jay & Ye as the rapper with the most grammys ever

 

[semicko82]

I'm seeing some predictions for Bad Bunny as the spoiler for AOTY.

I just don't see an album in mostly a
non English language winning AOTY.
I don't see the old school members of the academy going for it

This seems like a race between K. Dot and Lady Gaga for "overdue" reasons
