Eminem's 10 Grammy Nods: Rap Experts React

[Alaine]

i think em will win AOTY
Arcade Fire will be the main threat

the only one I 'd count out is katy perry as she probably bought her nomination cuz no knows how the hell she got in there, the rest (Arcade Fire, Lady gaga & lady a...) all have bigger chances of winning than Em as the grammy hates rap in general

Nah. Rightfully Recovery should take it but I can easily see Need You Now win it. Cos you know, the Grammys loves the 'safe' approach. Just give it to pop/country albums.

Even if it’s the white dude

I didn't mind any of the critics untill this line.That guy couldn't just not say that?That makes me realise he will probably never get recognition from some people for his music cause he is white.And how is relevant comparing Recovery with his first 3 albums?It's 2010,it should be compared with this years albums not the ones a decade a go smh.Yeah The Roots album is good,but let's face it,how many people have heard of it?Or even about Ce-loo,besides "Fuck you" track?So yeah in the popularity terms and singles etc Recovery deserves to win album of the year imo

[Good For Nothing]

i thought they said it in a cute, pet name sort of way, like a nickname. It's not like they said "Even if it's a white dude"

Much ado about nothing.

they didn't compare recovery to his first 3 albums, they only said MMLP & SSLP are classics

[Emshady2]

The Roots album is good?

It was the worst shit I have ever heard. I live in europe . Nobody knows who they are because they make trash music

[Rollimeo]

They can say Em got 10 noms because he's white then how jay-z got 6 noms? because he's black?

No it's cause he makes mainstream music with specific intention to do so

You're right to a degree that it has nothin to do with Em being white, these nominations are only to do with the type of music these people all make, that's what people seem to forget.

Are you saying that Eminem makes songs just for the mainstream because if thats the case then yes its true but his singles this year have been different then his previous ones and different then all the other stuff playing on the radio
but if your talking about Jay-z then I defiantly agree seeing as how the blue print three was a mostly mainstream album where almost every song was mainstream friendly so how come Jay-z didn't get more nods when his entire album was made for the mainstream

I said this earlier in this thread. I did not mind the criticisms, until I saw the dude said that

[Devil'sAdvocate]

those are mostly great

[Good For Nothing]

those are mostly great

What are ? the Albums ?

[Cecilia21]

Arcade fire is going to win AOTY and I agree that album is perfect

[EminemBase]

Some interesting discussion points.

Though I'm sick of people tossing around the phrase "pop" for any music that isn't underground or that succeeds on a global level. Or is catchy. These morons need to learn what that definition means.

Not a single song off Recovery is a pop song.

The Roots album is good?

Trash Music? Did you even listen to the album lol.
Anyway, some of the opinions I agreed with but I feel like some people are STILL disregarding Em because he's white & his music is popular which is getting really old now.

" 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.”
Seems like a compare to me
