Thank u Kendrick for restoring faith in hip-hop!
Kendrick, we hope these two awards will make you forgive us for giving Best Rap Album to Macklemore instead of you. We were dumb and we apologize.
Em definitely deserved that award. Good shit Grammys.
thank god we wont have to listen to “them” crying about iggy winning best album
FUCK YOU IGGY!
Congrats to eminem, but Common should have won the award, fuck the grammys!!
A good night for Aftermath!!!!!
Eminem and Jay-Z are the only hip-hop artists on that list worth mentioning. and they do feel sorry for Kendrick. ‘i’ beat rap god? lol. why is bound 2 even nominated.
Rap God deserved that one for sure
Those crying about kendrick not winning last year need to tell all the young, black members of the grammy organization to VOTE! All the producers, artists, songwriters, execs that are of the hip hop age need to send in their darn voting cards. They are receiving less than 30% of those returns. It’s just as bad as folks voting in november for elections. If the young members don’t vote, the old members vote for whomever’s songs they hear the most on the radio and see on tv.
can regular people actually vote for the artists or is it just industry people who can do it?
There’s no way Gambino or Schoolboy Q should have even been up there, it’s no wonder Eminem won. He was up against a lot of horse shit.
B.R.A. was going to either Iggy or Eminem anyway. Thank God they gave it to Em. And I’m glad Kendrick won two awards, but something’s telling me those were make up awards for Kendrick getting robbed last year.
MMLP2 wasn’t good even though Em is the rapper of all of them. I like Gambino’s more and barely half of his tracks were good. I’m sure Common’s album is nice even though I’ve only listened to part of it.
You just described how everyone feels about Common.
Common’s album was OK but I forgot about it after about two weeks
I’m a Em fan but I don’t think he deserved AOTY this year, should have been Gambino or maybe Q but hell I’m just Glad Iggy didn’t win.
Well that’s ok then because Em wasn’t even nominated for AOTY
WTF!!!!! IGGY WAS SPOSE TO SWEEP ALL THE GRAMMIES FROM THE NON-WHITES!!!
Racist azz awards… I’m just Glad Iggy didn’t win.
“Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?” MMLP2 was more than deserving tf the Win. The song “Bad Guy” alone was enough to secure the win.
Time for Black people to create their own Black Grammy Award Show! They are being played with intellectually!
When then Drunk In Love, Jay Z and Beyoncé become a R&B Song? If anything it is Pop. But they are not going to put it there. A white Artist will lose a category. They are playing with Black people. Last Year, Love and War was all over the Radio and the World, Tamar Braxton was nominated 3 times and Lala Hathaway won and I never heard the song on the Radio, even though I love Lala. The are using Black people. If we can’t give it to Iggy we will give it to Eminem, youall except “him ‘don’t cha”, redneck voice, GTHOH
BET Hip Hop Awards mean more than the Grammy’s now. Same clowns that aint teaching anyone in their music win every year. All rigged and set up for the white man.
Um so the bet awards aint set up for the black man?
These hypocritical bastards always denounce affirmative action unless they’re the beneficiary of it. There’s no empirical evidence that that it actually helps Black people, as the right-wing media erroneously purports, as this would mean Black people would achieve high positions in all professions. You just gotta look at any TV show or movie to see this, nepotism and racial solidarity dictates people have affinity with their own ilk, so we’re less likely to succeed in white dominated industries as whites take precidant, whether deserved or not. Exhibit 1; the gentifrication and ethnic cleansing of our cultures and cities. This is brought to the froth when you see the same assholes winning Grammys every year. We’ve had the homily “work twice as hard as whites if you wanna get ahead..” Drilled into us but this no longer holds weight. Unfortunately, we’re only gonna achive success if we capitulate, and make them feel they have the upper-hand, but I’d rather be disidant and poor than subservient and financially stable. Step Brothers should’ve won best LP anyway..
nobobdy cares about no grammmy its always somebody who’s on a major record label winning never any independent artist. Plus its rigged as shit anyway
Your logic is flawed. Macklemore won last year and he is independent.
eminem also wins 2009 relapse
Wow, I thought J Cole predicted Iggy winning the grammy?
hahahah cole must feel like such a tool. had all his fans quoting that shit for months getting all mad at the white girl
I question those Kendrick Grammys. Must have been payback from last year.
Best Rap Album
Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP2
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
🙁
iggy ain’t get anything but since eminem won they’re claiming supremacy right?
Drake or school boy Q should’ve won best rap album. Its a shame drizzy wasn’t nominated but Iggy, Childish Gambino, and Wiz Khalifa’s trash can album got nominated
