Those Drake nomination's tho

[Shameek]

In a few words, it's basically Drake vs Kendrick Lamar vs 2 Chainz

A$ap isn't even nominated for the Best New Artist category

[Trimss]

Did they snub Macklemore because he's indie? Because he ruled 2013 so far..

Yeah and best group, just saw it.

Still. He should've been nominated for Best New Artist (like K.dot), and best male hip hop artist.

[Shameek]

The Grammy will be more interesting, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Drake, Kanye West and the last nominee will probably be J Cole or Macklemore

Holy shit, that group is tight, Kanye has never lost, Kendrick has the most acclaimed album in 3 years, Drake is the last winner and Eminem only lost 1 grammy

The grammy 2014 are going to be dope

I don't think so, Kendrick won an award last year and he was nominated after the release of section 80, an indie album released exclusively through itunes

Nah they can't do that... their act is technically a duo/group so that's where the nomination belong. The worse thing is that album/single will never count as Macklemore solo album/single too... that reminds me of Eric B & Rakim early albums.

[Trimss]

Ohh. Well, who cares, Macklemore is still winning. Sold another 30k this week, that means the nigga sold 700 000 albums. Can't Hold Us is still #1 on iTunes..

He won.

[ImANoob]

did the throne even drop anything?

[Shameek]

snoop & Dr Dre era
tupac & biggie era
nas & jay era
Dmx era
em & 50 era
T.I.& Game era
lil wayne & kanye & Lupe Fiasco era
kendrick & drake (& maybe Macklemore) era

When I think about it, there are only 2/3 rappers who really blow up every 2-3 years, that's sad.

[TonyTilt]

They only do the cyphers at the hip-hop awards am i correct?
