Kendrick Lamar Nominated for Seven Grammys

[Elano The One And Only]

Nominations for the 56th Grammy Awards were announced tonight during a televised live concert at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, featuring performances by Miguel, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Taylor Swift, Earth, Wind and Fire (why not?) and– though notably not Drake — many more, and with LL Cool J back again to host. Overall, it seems to be a boom year for hip hop. Jay Z leads the pack with a whopping nine nominations, including on for Album of the Year for Magna Carta Holy Grail; but Justin Timberlake, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are close at his tail with seven nods a piece, and Drake earned an honorable five. Daft Punk, Miguel and Lorde are also top nominees. Some nice surprises: Disclosure’s Settle earned a nod for Best Dance/Electronic Album, Wiz Khalifa and the Weeknd’s “Remember You” was nominated for Best Rap/Song Collaboration, and James Blake will contend with Lamar, Kacey Musgraves, Mackelmore and Ed Sheeran for Best New Artist. And Kanye got two noms — “New Slaves” for Best Rap Song and Yeezus for best rap album — so even if he doesn’t care about the Grammys, he can keep his statistics up. Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 26th, when the 56th Annual Grammy Awards air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

I agree with OG, this is an extremely laughable statement.

I noticed Drakes been around for years and had a record deal for years but all of a sudden he cant be bothered with, he just couldnt be pulled away from this tour. Every other artist has time set aside for the Media, for a Jew, drake sure does dodge the media alot.

 They know about the Award shows way before any one, they make it a point to schedule everything to accomidate these events but not drake, he's ELITE, hes cut from a different cloth, like Prince, or a princess, I herd when drake kicks with asap mob or any other celebrities his age he always has 2 body guards within arms reach.
He uses this tour bullshit to hide from the real world and or Hip Hop, thats not Hip Hop, studio and videos.....lol
hes Raps Bitch RnB not HIP HOP !

Im just glad Kdot got mentioned, we know the attention will be towards the GIMMICKs, "Gay Rights" & "tha Jew"......
But i dont listen to drake dont listen to gays and dont listen to jay, its just a paper weight anyway, thats my off the dome flow....

thats my " after kdots control verse leaked-flow "
