GNX is easily a better album, but LGSEO is a better RAP album. Kendrick wasn't really rapping on every song so the clipse should win the rap category. But GNX should def win album of the year. It was a song writing masterpiece.

Kendrick earned it

There’s ALREADY 1 about to spiral in here

 

[Capital Steez]

I think the overall commercial viability of hip-hop is more important than industry awards that are exchanged via label influence.

But as long as backpackers have a bone thrown their way, they’ll ignore the forest for the trees to see what’s at play.

if Drake was still poppin the Grammys would still go about their business because Drake doesn't submit his stuff for consideration.
