Just like GKMC didn't come out within the last year but it's nominated for Album Of The Year. He's being nominated based upon his debut, which makes him fairly "new" amongst the mainstream

Im listening to the heist
trying to make myself like it ... in case the worst happens and it beats GKMC in every category I will be a little less salty

yup anyways the grammies are still important. I remember a few years ago herbie hancock won for album of the year, very next week that ish was like top 5 on the billboard charts even after being out for awhile.
Plus you can eat off a grammy for years, just like how you can by winning a oscar or golden globe
Grantland agrees with your perspective
"What if “Same Love” does win Song of the Year? How significant will it be? Will it really mean anything?
I’m tempted to say it won’t be significant at all, because deep down I don’t think award shows (least of all the Grammys) ultimately shape how the history of art forms are remembered. That “Hey Ya!” didn’t win Record of the Year obviously hasn’t affected the love people have for it. (As much as I like “Clocks,” it probably won’t outlive “Lose Yourself” or “Crazy in Love,” either.) “Jesus Walks” is better regarded today than John Mayer’s “Daughters,” even though the latter beat the former for Song of the Year in 2005. Jay Z has as many Song of the Year nominations as Hoobastank,10 and yet Jay Z could pay to have the members of Hoobastank dropped into a South American rain forest and hunted like wild game by billionaires. This is as it should be. Awards never stick around as long as truly great music does."

Hitfix says K.Dot for Best Rap Album
2014 Best Rap Album prediction
The nominees are:
“Nothing Was The Same,” Drake
“Magna Carta...Holy Grail,” Jay Z
“Good Kid, M.A.A.D City,” Kendrick Lamar
“The Heist,” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
“Yeezus,” Kanye West
WHO’S MISSING: “Long.Live.ASAP,” ASAP Rocky; “Born Sinner,” J. Cole; and worthy indie favorite, “Run the Jewels,” El-P and Killer Mike.
THE PLAYERS: Drake, Kanye West and Jay Z already have best rap album Grammys sitting on their mantles.
THE ODDS: With Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Kendrick Lamar both nominated for album of the year, it means one of them is sure to walk away with best rap album. Macklemore himself told The Source that Lamar deserves it: “I understand why hip-hop would feel like Kendrick got robbed [if he didn’t win].” He’s right.
THE WINNER: “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City,” Kendrick Lamar

Slant Magazine predicts Cackelmore of Daft Punk will win AOTY but K.Dot deserves it
"That's not to say Swift couldn't pull it off, but if a sales runner-up were going to successfully pull off a heist, this would be a good year. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are poised to have a great night on Sunday, with Best New Artist and Song of the Year both within reach, and Album of the Year would look mighty fine alongside those two trophies. But a male hip-hop act has only won in this category once before and, well, Macklemore and Lewis are no Big Boi and Andre 3000. So that leaves Daft Punk, whose Random Access Memories has both the critical and commercial clout to hack the votes. And with guest appearances by disco pioneers Giorgio Moroder and Nile Rodgers, not to mention contemporary stars like Pharrell,RAM feels a hell of lot like the kind of veteran collaboration album NARAS loves to reward in this category."
Will Win: Daft Punk, Random Access Memories
Could Win: Taylor Swift, Red or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, The Heist
Should Win: Kendrick Lamar, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City

i dont think that its the grammys have to pick what we like in order to have credibility
it's that the best music needs to shine through regardless of genre, if gkmc makes some noise thats great because it obviously deserves to. im not gonna get upset over adele or arcade fire nominations/wins from the last couple years because that was great music. mumford and sons tho
be fair, i might be a hater because all that mumford and sons, lumineers, imagine dragons shyt is all the same to me and when they do well its complete pandering to the majority of the grammy viewership
i'll even go as far to say that some years hip hop doesn't have an album id throw in the top 5 of the year, but neither are most of the other nominees the grammy chooses year after year for the BEST 5 albums of the year. it aint just hip hop, a lot of great albums have been snubbed in the last 10 years of the grammys
EDIT: and macklemore isn't hip hop unpopular opinion outside the coli but thats why i post here

The Wrap predicts Kanye may pull an upset for Best Rap Album
"Talk about up for grabs: This could go almost any way… except, probably, poor Jay-Z’s. Drake could easily add this to “well-liked SNL double-threat” on his list of 2014 accomplishments. But his rival, West, did just top the Village Voice critics’ poll with Yeezus — and he’s not the only one angered it didn’t get a nod in the top album category. On the other hand, even some of Kanye’s own fans disliked the record’s nasty mood and misogynistic lyrics. Less hardcore rap fans will go for the obvious feel-good choice and continue the Macklemore semi-sweep."
Should win: Kanye West
Will win: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Living up to your repIf that short midget cac kendrick wins, it will be an L for hip hop
negged*
LOL he has too much backlash going on for him, them CACs are gonna make sure Kanye gets absolutely nothing this year
Yeezus was too divisive. Even amongst Hip Hop heads it's either a love it or hate it type album and I don't think it's an album that will age well unlike 808's and MBDTF
Side note but It'd be really dope if Kendrick performed Compton with Dre at the Grammy's. Especially if he wins, it would be historic
