Eminem's 10 Grammy Nods: Rap Experts React

[Emadyville]

why do some people like to think he got nominated because he's white & he's Eminem?

Cause that's the truth

He may not have got 10 grammy nods for Relapse but he still got Best Rap Album, it isn't like any black rapper could make an album almost entirely about horrific shit and get mainstream love for it.

yeah but the grammy voters LOVE sales, and we all know relapse sold well in regards to 2009, and especially for rap albums...I'm not saying you're wrong cause I agree with you to an extent, but the sales thing has a lot to do with it also

Thats right.

Recovery may not have gathered the universal critical reception of Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but it was nevertheless warmly received.

Why the FUCK do people compare Recovery/Eminem to this shit?!

I'm not gonna say I dont like Recovery, but i agree with this guys opinion. On the other hand, im happy for Em that his name is so huge again, even if ppl aren't appreciating his true classics like some of us do...

"[Eminem] is one of my favorite artists but I don't like Recovery, an album I sincerely tried to like, so I'm conflicted," said journalist Insanul Ahmed (Complex, Vibe). "If he does win album of the year (which is still unlikely) it'll suck to know he's winning for a record most his fans wouldn't consider his magnum opus. But its legend would grow and people might start thinking Recovery was as good as The Marshall Mathers LP or The Slim Shady LP. It is not."

Guys just shut up and accept that not everyone is gonna praise Eminem and suck his balls

[jarman007]

em’ll probably never get the props I feel he ever deserves

[KingDavid]

i think Distant relatives should have been nominated.

Not a single song off Recovery is a pop song.

EmBase, i love ya, but if you think Love The Way You Lie isn't a pop song you're in denial.

I disagree.. In my opinion, a hook sung by a pop star doesn't make the whole song a pop song. But maybe i'm wrong.

Never cared about awards but 10 nominations is impressive. Recovery was a let down for me but I can see why the Grammys would love it.

Even if it’s the white dude

Okay, little comments like that piss me off. It makes me think that these people don't want Em to win just because of that fact, and they just come up with other excuses for why he shouldn't have gotten nominated. Lil Wayne could get 10 nominations and not a single one of these people would bitch about it. Even though Em makes way better music (And no, DO NOT turn this into a Wayne argument. I simply used him as an example since he's just as popular as Em is), people are still gonna discredit him

took the words right outta my mouth,

but shit like this should be expected, there are still people in the world who cant accept a white dude is the best in the hip hop game EVER!!!, why see it like that? its beyond me, just enjoy the fuckin music and get a life
