What a whore, Ima finger bang her next time she try to crowd surf.
If Drake doesn’t win best hip-hop album there is something wrong, because Eminem and Iggy ARE NOT hip-hop artists!
Drake isn’t a hip-hop artist, either.
Drake isnt American he shouldnt be eligible for this award
eminem is the only real hip hop artist nominated iggy and drake are obviously pop rappers
whoa fucking die
yeah, I’m so happy for you Iggy, show those dipshits what time it is
bigot gonna be disappointed LMMFAO
Probably not. Out of every person nominated, the American music industry will make the most money with Iggy (at least right now) so considering every single artist nominated is a joke…
its funny because shes not American, just like Drake
The Qeen
Don’t hate appreciated
Obviously she’s white in white america of course shes gonna lead all categories just like Macklemore did last year. The industry wants white artists to be the most succesful. They know hip hop music is and cultural thing “FIRST” so they want to take that over too buy trying to let the world know that Iggy is the best hip hop act right now. Even tho she can hardly rap and is in question if she writes her own lyrics.
????????
Favorite Female Artist (Soul/R&B):
Chris Brown
John Legend
Pharrell Williams
Well I guess Chris Brown is a female, but typo here!
