Shouts out to Cole...but

KING KENDRICK! hope he wins a few.

Kendrick has the most nominations out of all the artist in the Grammys

Kendrick = 11
Swift & The weeknd = 7

Anyone think this is the grammy's way of making it up to him for the Macklemoore debacle? Either way he deserves it. Hope he wins album of the year...

Man i really hope Kendrick shines on this night. Dude deserves it on a HUGE platform like this

Lmao damn they just threw Kendrick in everything hope he wins some. Weeknd album is a joke [emoji]128580[/emoji] But it's popular so I guess.

C'mon fam, he's going against Taylor. Let's set realistic expectations here.

Who votes to determine the winner of each category tho? It's not the fans is it?

I just realized Drake got nominated for Back To Back

at the ASAP Rocky LSD video nomination & :x at Future NOT being nominated for nothing smh

Always enjoy this.

Will assume Taylor Swift sweeps all the categories she's in, Drake or Nicki gets best rap album nod simply as a kick to the pants of Kendrick, and Fetty Wap for Best Rap song

I don't even think you all have fathomed the slander that will ensue if back to back wins.

I tell you what.... Alabama Shakes should rack up. I really believe they had the album of year. but if Kendrick came away with it I will not be disappointed as far as it being a major look for hip-hop.

Shouts to that boy Cole being nominated... To bad its too late for him to care. Hope he stays true and pays the nomination no mind, but he gotta feel some type of way after he was snubbed.

Whens the last time the grammys had no Jay-Z tho?? Kanye barely made it in thanks to that one Big Sean nod.

Hov hasn't released anything recently though has he? Unless he would've gotten nominated for the song he had with JT from (or around the time) of MCHG

Ye got nominated for "All day" too . Song ain't have no impact.

Really hope Kendrick and Cole stay true and don't show up. Powers that be will try to make them go though..

yea Hov's absence is cuz he didnt release anything. Its just surprising that over a full year he didnt do anything musically.

Cant say i recall him not appearing at all in awhile... even when he was retired.

and i didnt even realize Kanye had an All Day nomination... wow.

not really he had a solid well rounded album/movement this year

and he is loved by our era's "Golden Girl" who happens to have a major single with him thats nominated as well

if I was him I would say I will attend under 1 condition.... I get to perform in the middle or semi end of the show (peak time for a award show) and have full control over my performance, set, and playlist

that way he can use the platform to perform Alright in a powerful manner. Maybe bring out Cole to perform his verse too

I just want to see back to back and all day win some awards

Back to back has to win just for laughs and to cement the meek L in history lol

Welp. Wale vs Jay Rock

I really hope that D'angelo can take a Grammy home.

But, since Kendrick is the only rapper nominated for AOTY; logically he will win RAOTY. I don't think the grammys's will display MTV type logic.

Kendrick ain't winning a damn thing again. Drake is winning RAOTY, Swift is winning AOTY
