Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Pharrell & Jay Z Among Hip Hop’s 2015 Grammy AwardWinner

[Will_B]

and snoop never won a grammy, am i right?

[M Dogg™]

List of all the winners and should have won for Grammys Rap Album of the Year. I wouldn't even get performance of the year, as they never nominated the best songs and the winners were shit like Bust a Move or Thrift Shop and rap song of the year came from best rap solo performance which include Baby Got Back and Men in Black. So to do songs or performance, that would give me a migraine. So I will only do albums.

So many tracks Snoop could have won with. I don't even want to touch on all the tracks that robbed and the artist that should have won. If Snoop ain't won one for at least a song (I understand album of the year, Doggystyle pre-dates Rap Aibum of the Year) then a Grammy don't mean shit.....

[Matty]

grammys = industry circlejerk, so hillariously out of touch with art.

NICE LIST, BUT "2001" CAME OUT IN '99

yeah but in late 2001 and it spawned singles which made the albums relevant in the charts until 2001, it's not unusual for albums released 2 years prior to get a grammy, that's what MMLP2 did just last weekend.

[Sccit]

^TRUE

[M Dogg™]

I went with the year 2001 was nominated. It was released late 1999, so it basically was a 2000 release for the Grammys.

[Hack Wilson - real]

these debates are stupid

[M Dogg™]

these debates are stupid

Yeah, but sometimes you need stupid debate.

[Blood$]

don't get me wrong Outkast was massive in '03 but honestly 50 Cent should have gotten the Grammy in '04

[M Dogg™]

don't get me wrong Outkast was massive in '03 but honestly 50 Cent should have gotten the Grammy in '04

Maybe. At the time I would agree. Now, but Snoop's album also should have gotten considered.

no doubt... all this reminds me of fucking 6th grade lol when "Beautiful" and "P.I.M.P." were all out at like the same time

I recall 50 being pretty big for basically the entire year from when the album dropped all the way up until the winter and I don't remember hearing the Outkast ish until a little later on in late 03 - early 04

Yeah, 50 Cent not winning though doesn't surprise me though because the Grammys seems to favor more "artist" type music.

So yeah, but some albums not even being nominated, like Nas, was kind of interesting. Also, I love how Kanye just dominated the Grammys for a huge chunk of time. Not surprising, I feel like he tailored his music for Grammy voters, even later. He knew exactly what Grammy voters were looking for and he went with it. Another thing, except for Iggy, if a white person is nominated the year you are, history shows that you're shit out of luck. Only one Eminem album didn't win a Grammy. So yeah, crazy shit.

[Mr. Theo]

Yeah .. Kendrick is like..Drake put a stick in your ass!!  hahahahhaa
