With the Grammy nominees for the 2015 ceremony announced earlier this month, My Krazy Life rapper YG stopped by Power 106 Los Angeles recently and addressed his album not being included in the Best Rap Album category.
“Some of them albums is wack,” he said in the interview. “My album is better than them albums. I feel like, how y’all—I already knew I wasn’t gonna win a Grammy. I’m like, ‘They not gon’ give me a Grammy but they gon’ nominate me for sure.’ It was just, when I seen some of them albums on there, it was like, I didn’t really get it. I really feel some type of way. I know it got something to do with me being from the streets and representing what I represent and talking about what I talk about on these records.
“I feel like the Grammy people gotta know, I’m the peoples’ champ,” he added, segueing into a discussion about his community work. “I’m the peoples’ people. They be rocking with me. The people that’s out here. I gotta foundation, a nonprofit, I do like five to eight events every year. I’m showing up. We spending our money. Normally, foundations they get money from people. We just starting off. I’m spending my bread. My momma’s spending her money that she ain’t got. They gotta recognize all that’s going on.”
Returning to the music, YG said simply, “My album is better than half of them albums on there. I’m not knocking nobody…I came up with Iggy. I know Iggy. ScHoolboy, all them. I’m rocking with them. I already knew they was gonna get nominated.”
Soon after, the Compton rapper called the snub “a slap in the face.”
“I really had the best Rap album of 2014,” he later said. “All these rappers gon’ tell you that…I should’ve got a nomination for the Grammys.”
The nominees for Best Rap Album are Iggy Azalea’s The New Classic, Childish Gambino’s because the internet, Common Nobody’s Smiling, Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron and Wiz Khalifa’s Blacc Hollywood.
how the fuck wiz khalifa’s trash (54/100 on metacritic) got nomination? what’ wrong with this shit?
because it’s the grammys they just pick whats pop(ular) and not whats best from the genre
I bought Wiz’s album that shit is trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yg does not deserve a grammy nomination.
officer ricky should get a grammy nomination.
nigga STFU your album wasnt album wasnt all that grammys never even heard of a YG and it got nothing to do with him being an ignorant nigga cause schoolboy q got nominated and he’s “from the streets”
your wack degenerate music that’s making everybody be a dumbass like you is a slap in the face to us.
your album has the lyric “fucking these hoes wearing no condoms no nothing” you should be locked away on an island in solitary confinement for the rest of your life you retarded homo.
No more abortions, anal or birth control. Put a rubber glove on your jimmy and compliment girls for giving dome.
FUCK OUTTA HERE WIT YO WEAK ASS RECYCLED DJ MUSTARD BEATS. WHY HE EVEN CARE THAT MUCH? FIGURED A STREET NIGGA WOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT GETTIN A BET OR SOUL TRAIN AWARD HAHA
So Schoolboy Q isn’t from the streets and doesn’t talk about and represent for the streets? Better find a new excuse homie… and I have yet to hear 1 rapper say Krazy Life was best album of the year.
That’s what I’m saying
I think schoolboy should win. I cant believe they snubbed YG and Drake! For fucking Common, Childish Gambino, and Iggy no disrespect to common. This is why people boycott the Grammys. They snubbed Kendrick for Mackelmore. “Fancy” or “all about that bass” will win over Kedricks “I”. The Grammys don’t give a shit about about hiphop.
Common had a dope album though. Run The Jewels 2 was the best rap album of the year.
You won’t hear Officer Ricky whining about getting snubbed because he doesn’t need validation from whitey.
Preach!
bitch niccas make excuses for their failures, real niggas go back into the booth and go harder for next time
Believe Dat
Dr. Dre won a Grammy for Let Me Ride and was nominated for Nuttin But A G Thang. It’s a slap in my face that you think you should nominated. Make a classic, then worry about awards.
Tell em Derek
i second that this nigga sold 77k units and opened first week with 16k yg is jus a mediocre rapper
tell your label to pay for the package
this joker sold 60k first week on a major label and less than 200k total LOL aint no grammys being awarded for mediocricy and weak shit that doesn’t sell.
My new song is called “Anal and Abortions”…Swerve its called “Condoms and Head”
What you do is make out with a girl then take off her clothes. Then you go down on her. She will return the favor. Then you have vaginal intercourse with a condom.
“Grammy’s why did yall but YG on the ballot is year ?”
“Because We was on our late night thirsty, Because it was late night and we where thirsty”
OK…Back to you BOB
“Grammy’s why didnt yall put YG on the ballot is year ?” “Because We was on our late night thirsty, Because it was late night and we where thirsty” OK…Back to you BOB
what kinda self professed street nigga catches feelings over a grammy nom?
YG does lol
YG hasn’t done enough animal sacrifices and blood sacrificed a family member to get the the award yet. Almost every single successful person in the music biz or Hollywood has has a family member end up dead in a freak accident or an abortion they didn’t initially come forward about. Drake and Nikki Minaj have had a child aborted. I’m from Pittsburgh and and Wiz khalifas uncle was killed at the waterfront. Dre dre, Kanye, John travolta, jennifer hudson,…the list goes on for days.
my question is why do hip hop artists give a fuck about the Grammys in the first place? it’s a fuckin popularity contest that has nothing to do with hip hop seeing as you can put out a pop album and still win.
He doesn’t deserve a grammy or a nomination. Keep it movin.
ill just quote from the show Chozen “nobody cares about the the Grammys except white people and Kanye West”
Jonathan . if you think Christopher `s blurb is super, last tuesday I bought a top of the range Audi Quattro after having earned $7203 this last five weeks and even more than 10/k lass-month . this is certainly the most-financialy rewarding I have ever had . I began this seven months/ago and practically straight away began to bring in over $83… per/hr . this page ============================== >>WWW.WORK4HOUR.COM
GRAMMYS is just a group of music industry execs, it’s NOT a ‘government body’ determining who has THE BEST of anything (that’s too subjective, & would always be debated!) or a ‘people’s vote’….. WHY these street niccas worrying about an ‘award’?! They vote for who they vote for – just make MORE CLASSICS! That’s all anyone should strive for!
Other than Iggy, the actually got it right. Childish Gambino lowkey had the best album released until Logic came out this year.
Iggy WILL win the grammy for that chalkboard scratching though, best believe.
You can’t be saying on the one hand, the Grammys mean nothing, then on the other hand not being nominated is a slap in the face.
At this rate Machine Gun Kelly and Asher Roth finna win 6 grammys a piece in the next 2 years.
MGK is decent, Roths mixtapes are solid
Eminem’s “Bad Guy” alone >>>>>>>>>> My Krazy Life
Puhlease! This dude makes the most generic auto-tune related wack music in the likes of Rich Dummie Juan and ty dolla whateva. Anything with wack ass hooks, autotune or this modern day rap digital music should not even be considered notable. Sorry YG. I’m not hating. Just stating.
LOL, best rap album of the year. what a tool. more like best weedplate of the year
No it’s not LMAO your album was trash nigga, get over it. Only songs I could fuck with were I just wanna party and bicken back being bool
didnt hear iggys album or gambinos but bc from the singles i heard id categorize them as pop albums. If im wrong thats cool. That being said id take out those out and put j. cole and whoever else. The grammy goes to Common either way though.
Common deserves that shit
gang affiliated niggas dont get to win grammys. wise up dumbass
dre won a grammy
Best rap album??!!!!! Muhhaaaaaahaaaahaaaaahaaaa………………………. his pathetic album is not even in the top 1000! & again what a surprise, another rapper where the ego doesn’t match the achievements!
A rapper with a serious superiority complex and an excessive over evaluation of his own abilities!
…….. What does his community work got to do with him being nominated for a grammy or not?!!!! Ignorant clown…….. However the grammys can’t tell a good rap album from a bad pop album, it’s insignificant when it comes to talent.
lol don’t tell me ur not black ..if ur white then u have no idea…YG won album of the year and DJ MUSTURD won producer of the year….I guess ur just one of those hippies that wining around in the slum and don’t watch tv at all..
Another ignorant racist, great.
No matter which award show you are referring to, his winnings doesn’t equal truth, maybe that’s too much for you simple mind to comprehend…………..
I’m gonna tell you what I’m not little buddy. I’m not one of those mindless sheeple, where fashion and trends affect my taste or my choices in life, obviously unlike you…………
YG’s lyrical abilities are below average, same thing with his flow, content etc…… You would know this, if you knew Hip Hop, not only top 20 on BET, but underground shit as well and some of the legends and pioneers…… Maybe one day you will become mature enough to not be a trend follower…. Good luck on your journey little buddy, you got a loooong way to go
lol you are the worst!!
Do you mean the instrumentals?? Or the OVERALL ALBUM???!? NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR BUST AND SHOOT A NIGGA HEAD ALL FUCKIN DAY YG!!!
PLUS THE COVER IS A MUGSHIT!!!!>>!!> REALLY WISE UP YOUNGIN 90’s baby
He’s right. Cocaine piñata was the actual best too Indy for a Grammy tho ..black hystori might have been a mixtape but check it out its dope jeezy and run the jewels made some great music as well haven’t heard j cole new cd yet

My Krazy Life > Blacc Hollywood in every single way
