How they know Nas won?

Did the show start?


They announced more than 30 awards at the Pre-Ceremony.

It aired on live Youtube and Grammys.com at 3pmEST.

My Pops Forever RIP
The point of sharing this with us is what..
It must be so because some random said it.
He can shove his opinion up his ass.

I listened to both albums. I enjoyed KD more
The point is Nas deserves his Grammy. It just sucks that he won over an album that was better.

If they had gotten it right with Nas all this time before, Alfredo mighta won and who woulda argued against it?

If we were talking a Piñata quality album from Gibbs then this would be accurate, but I just don’t get the outrage over Nas winning over him. Alfredo was pretty good but not even the best album Alc produced last year if we’re being real


Alfredo is a good album but very one note. There have been better albums with the same drug lord subject matter released within the past few years (Daytona)
