SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY TRAPSOUL WAS NOT NOMINATED FOR BEST R&B ALBUM?????
WHY IS HOTLINE BLING STILL ON THE NOMINATION LIST?! WHY IS PANDA ON THE NOMINATION LIST?
i appreciate The fact that hip hop and black music was represented better this year across the board but i fill it was not done the right way. how is hotline bing a rap song?
Anyone explain why drake is in the rap categories and not in the pop/r and b categories? Giving rap a bad name
Tribe not eligible?
Same talentless nominees every fucking year.
De La better win
All the Kendrick stans are mad that he only got one nomination while Drizzaveli dominates with eight. Kendrick’s wack ass EP got overshadowed by the monstrous Views. The 6ix God gonna win all of them and be ahead of your beloved hero. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
“Please stop talking and suck my dick”, Drake said to OVOKid (a.k.a OVOsBitch) Dude its cool to like a guy or love him but seriously you dont have to post shit about other guys and express love for Drake on every article. I’m pretty sure you’ll also post some bs comment on the Jhene Aiko article calling out Drake as the sexiest celebrity or shit.
Watch all the Kendrick stans be hypocritical and say the Grammys ain’t shit when Drizzaveli wins for Best Rap Album. Last year, they were cheering for them. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
THIS IS TRASH! Only one Bryson Tiller nomination. No “DONT”! TRASPOUL ran 2016! This is more so popularity awards in my opinion.
The people nominatied know that this list is garbage.
Shit the nominations of Desiigner, D.R.A.M(he’s not THAT bad compared to the other 2) and Lil Yatchy will just promote more mumble rappers who crap instead of rapping.
