...and the nominees for the 2010 Grammy Awards...

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Run This Town and not Empire State of Mind?

[Meho]

Logical choices except for Common and Florida on the best album category, plus like Rapsodie said where the hell is Empire State Of Mind ?

And where's the Forever joint as a posse cut ?

[K.Dub]

Run This Town and not Empire State of Mind?

Exactly.

[Chamillitary Click]

LOL at the best album nominations.Seriously?Flo rida and common?Both those albums were terrible,didnt sell well and were pretty much panned critically.Those two choices confuse the hell out of me.

it's the Grammy's way of forcing the award to Eminem lol.

Best Rap Solo Performance
Jay-Z "D.O.A. ( Death Of Auto-Tone )"

Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group
Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent "Crack A Bottle"

Best Rap\Sung Collaboration
T.I. & Justin Timberlake "Dead And Gone"

Best Rap Song
Jay-Z "D.O.A. ( Death Of Auto-Tone )"

Best Rap Album
Eminem "Relapse"

Change Best Rap Song to "Dead And Gone" or "Day And Night" and I'm witcha

yeah, that could be a toss up; i saw DOA on both lists, so i figured that he was taking both awards lol.

but i know people are really high on "Dead And Gone", so it could very well go in that direction.

[Detox Iz Not Active]

good to see Mos Def get some love, Ecstatic was a great album

[dubsmith_nz]

Run This Town and not Empire State of Mind?

Yeah that was Jays biggest song ever? lol...

Also like someone above mentioned, why no Forever on posse cuts? That song was huge :-|

The choices actually weren't as bad as I thought they might be, but LMAO @ Flo Rida getting a nomination for album of the year.
