Grammy nominations tonight (Best Rap Album)

[Wic Kid]

My list:

Rakim - The 7th Seal
Raekwon - Cuban Linx Pt.2
Eminem - Relapse
Tech N9ne - KOD
Royce - Street Hop

And the award goes Tech N9ne - KOD. Best joint this year, IMO.

Encore didn't get any nominations because it was released after the deadline, and by the grammys in january 2006 it was old.

Co-sign either that or Cuban Linx 2 but I'm gonna go with K.O.D too.
Relapse for the grammy though

lol true but I don't think it would have had any noms anyway, like 1/2 album are fart noise and puke sound

Jay-Z's album as well as Raekwon's aren't up there cause the deadline was August 31st if I'm correct. Anyway, if they could be up there the definite winner would be Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II" for sure. It is way above the level of all the other albums including Relapse. But since they ain't up there then I guess it's Mos Def's The Ecstatic. Common's album was disappointing while Flo Rida is in no way gonna win this and I haven't heard Q-Tip's album. Eminem has incredibly little competition in this category I'd say, his album is very likely going to win, his name will win over Mos Def. If only OBCL2 was up there.

It has no competition Grammy-wise, but I think Mos Def could hold his own if the critics had a comparison between the two albums.
