Who is best female rap artist
The WORST Awards show ever….They didn’t even show most of those silly categories. Beyonce and Drake win every year just because…..Throw the whole awards show away.
I don’t like cardi’s music but she def deserved that award. Bey won how??? she hasn’t even dropped album this year within the time span to be qualified that album her and jay dropped won’t count until next year, that award should have went to sza easitly . Out of all the winners I think they got them right except for beyonce.
U know Beyonce and Jay are living proof of money can buy anything..just look at the DX review and look at the Nas Review(Jayz still fell ethered)..everyone bent over for Jay and Bay.
i mean come on. surely by now you know its a must dat she wins something at every awards shes nominated, its actually getting boring,
yawn @ kendrick winning. yes a real hip hop artist is winning instead of a drake but seriously damn aint that great and is way overrated.
Pusha has to win for Daytona next year. for reals.
Agree. Daytona is perfect.
How many years in a row is SZA gonna be nominated for new artist? Ha. Also, the visuals for humble was very impressive. Gods plan was more of a feel good video.
Aint no way God’s plan video better than humble
Man just went through the hood giving poor people money. Nearly $1million. Shit could have been an empty black screen and it would have been the greatest video of all time.
What was beyonce nominated for?? Her last Album was 2016 and the Jay Collab is one week old that cant be the reason.
Yeah Lani should have won that she’s been putting in work this year.
They need to get someone to actually find new artists to nominate. All of those people been around a minute already.
What about REVIVAL?
