    1. Kendrick May have the most nominations (no shocker there) but my boo Drizzy has a much bigger year than Kendrick did. He’ll end up winning more awards than Kendrick, even though Drake could give a damn about a Grammy. Pusha TMZ got lucky with that one nomination in Best Rap Album but either Cardi B or Travis Scott are gonna take that one for sure. Drizzy got Album of the Year, bet. OVOXO

      1. Scorpion was one of the most boring, dull, bland, uninspired, trash album of 2018. He should have taken out at least 14 tracks off it. He makes good singles but horrible albums.

      2. unbelievably delusional you are thinking Fake Drake gonna win for that 3rd boring dumpster juice album in a row. ZZZZZ boring..but then again all his albums are.

    2. Nice to see Nipsey and Pusha Thanos get the recognition they deserve. Too many fakes in the rap game. Let’s be honest the only reason Mac Miller is nominated is because he died.

      1. Mac Miller album was out for like a month and nobody cared about it. When he died everybody was on his nuts and praising his album. Goes to show how fake people are and only love you when you gone. I hope Mac, Nip, or Pusha win album of the year. But I’m sure they going to give it to Cardi or Scott. They trash bro.

    3. It’s pretty funny that “Lucky You” got nominated after Eminem absolutely slated the Grammys on Kamikaze and in interviews lol

    4. Eh. Nothing too great in my opinon. Kendrick sounds like pop music these days. Back in 2011 when Kendrick was heating up, he was more in the category of Tupac, old Jayz, and Nas. I’d say today he’s more in the category of Drake, Wale, Big Sean, ect…. Too bad. I miss old-school type hiphop. I hate the pitched voice junk and whiny sounds. That’s why I loved section. 80

    5. Why everybody hating on Kendrick.. not everybody. Only guy to switch his style every album like OutKast and still sell. Still serves a message on his albums. I know haters are going to hate but Drake stays one thing and that’s commercial. That’s ok because that is his lane and he’s comfortable with it.

    6. How is Westside Gunn not a nominee. Hip hop game is trash if they don’t think Griselda should win a Grammy

    7. If the Grammys did a Mac Miller Space Migration Session Tribute I would be Silkk The Shock like when M.I.A came on stage dropping bars with her ” UnBorn Child ” ( 2Pac ) with T.I , Kanye West , Lil Wayne and Jay Z I would’ve name the Baby Swag that was one the greatest Hip Hop Grammys performance ever !

      1. Throw in Jimi Hendrix and Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg been nominated 17 times and got robbed every time. Grammys always been trash.

    8. Cant even comment at this point. Cardi B and Mac Miller had no business even being nominated. All due respect to Mac Miller and yes Cardi B gets my dick hard but even Daytona is a stretch. If you geniunely critique the 5 nominated albums then Victory Lap was far better then the rest. Astroworld gets a nom, OK. But there were more then 3 other albums deserving nominations ahead of Cardi, Mac and Push. And we all knew this was coming from the grammys and still act surprised. Even Mr. Mainstream, Drake, tried to clown before they cut his mic. Real surprised he won one lol they should just auto pick Drake, Eminem and Jay Z. Mainstream success=grammys, plain and simple

    9. ‘Bet the delete me comment’. Yeah, cause you’re so controversial…Fkn conceited clown. Pushing against black people. lol. Did you watch the grammys? Blind people like you cause the racial divide.

    10. SMH…..absolute trash.. Grammys are a joke, glad Kendrick, Gambino & Drake turned down opportunities to perform. Cardi B???? Word, is this a popularity award or substance award?

    11. Cardi won best rap album. Exactly why the Grammys is a JOKE. They gave awards to the fakest artists in existence. This why i listen strictly to the underground because they are making the BEST music. Period.

    12. Victory Lap got robbed. He had the best album in the rap category. Everybody already knew the Grammys were going to give it to Cardi B. Grammys is a popularity award. Not quality of the music.

    13. Same shit every year. A jury who has nothing to do with music gives out an award for the most sellable ones. It’s strictly based on sold units / streams / YouTube views. Grammy has no point of intersection with art. It’s a bonus hype for those artists who can spend the most on promotion.
