Drake’s More Life playlist came out in March and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and, as of late September, had reportedly moved more than 1.8 million equivalent units and had netted more than 2 billion streams. Despite the project’s success, it reportedly won’t be in the running for the 2018 Grammy Awards.
According to the AP, an anonymous source close to the nomination process said the Toronto rap titan didn’t submit More Life for Album of the Year or Best Rap Album, nor did he enter any singles from the album for consideration in categories like Song of the Year, Record of the Year or Best Rap Song.
The only way Drake could earn a 2018 Grammy is if a song he’s featured on gets nominated and wins.
Drake has been nominated 35 times and is the recipient of three golden gramophones.
To be eligible for a nomination, the song and/or album must have been released between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017.
Nominees in the 83 Grammy categories will be officially announced on November 28.
The 60th annual Grammy Awards go down on January 28 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
You all do realize he doesn’t care about Grammys anymore right. At this point Drake “6 God” feels that he’s bigger than any award could possibly account for. Specifically the Grammys who are known to be shady to hip hop artists in the best album or best song catergories that aren’t restricted to hip hop only.
Good. Fuck the grammys
This article is pointless… drake has stated in many lines he doesn’t care about the Grammy awards anymore.
and yet another L for aubrey. im telling yall, meek has a lotta pull and is pulling them strings to deny grammys to drake. meanwhile meek gonna clean up at the grammys. dont believe me just watch.
“More Trash” can’t even clean up at the white man’s award show now. Aubrey must have really shit on himself with this album.
Drizzaveli is above the Grammys now. His influence and legendary, iconic status is worth more than any award he’ll receive. Look at Makaveli, legend, icon, very influential not only in hip hop, but music overall, and hasn’t won a single Grammy. Yes, Drake has won a few, but Holtine Bling was the last thing he’s won a Grammy for, and it’s a classic song, but that’s not even him at his best. He didnt even win for NWTS, IYRTITL or Views, all which had a lot of great material, but they kept giving awards to Kenwack and Macklemore, both artists who are adored by older white men that make up the Academy who vote for the winners. I understand Drake’s frustration with the Grammys. Real ting ya kno? #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Da GOAT does what he wants, the Grammys should stop crying through an anonymous source or whatever.
More Life was straight up trash.
Drake fell off hard
Another bullshit Fake Drake ghostwritten project that ain’t Grammy worthy. #D#DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
