I'd rather see Nas get it for Daughters
I'd rather see the song that set the world on fire win it, so we can start to legitimize the rap grammy and make it mean something.

As easy as these choices should be I'm sure they will find some way to screw up and continue the tradition of the rap grammy being a joke since the year Ludacris won it.

It's always a boring show.

Just gonna tune in for the JT performance, along with Frank Ocean.
 
Rap album of the year nominations is a joke

Only worthy album in that category is Take Care and that's not even rap IMO

:lol: @ 2 Chainz album being nominated
 
If NaS doesnt get at least 1 ima be heated...not holdin my breath tho, just looking at best rap performance and NaS is the only one whos track actually has some substance/meaning...and for that he WONT win smh
