I swear I've seen similar tweets from a lot of industry people after Kanye and Drake dropped. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the Grammy discussions next year end up being Nas vs Tyler.
It should be Nas Vs Nas for that Grammy. He deserve one for Nobody as well for rap collaboration.

He’ll get at least two nominations MAYBE three.


Best Rap Performance -Nobody Featuring Lauryn Hill

Best Rap Album- Kings Disease 2


Those are locks


Plus he could get into Best Melodic Rap Performance for Sorry Not Sorry. I just can’t fathom a world where the academy doesn’t trip over themselves to nominate both Jay AND Nas on the same song.

:hubie: I've never been a Tyler fan like that, but his album was dope to me. They both already won one though, so its whatever.

Yea nah I actually did like the the Tyler and the Cole album to he honest. I've got the Cole album ahead of the Tyler, but it's more a preference thing.

Good point. That Jay and Nas could get nominated as well. If it wasnt based off pure hype and popularity. Rare should be a nomination for best rap song/video. Also truthfully this album is good enough to be in the overall album of the year category but we know the Grammys never put rap in that category.

Can’t stand Tyler. All the trolling he did getting into the industry guaranteed i’ll NEVER listen to a entire project from him. But ironically he’s a big Nas fan and did a pretty good interview with him on XXL years ago.

At least one rap album has been nominated for AOTY every year except for last year, they just NEVER win. The last rap album to win AOTY was Outkast back in 2004:damn:




Nas should definitely get an AOTY nom, but it’ll probably go to Tyler because of Tyler’s sales. Doesn’t mean he’ll win or even win the rap category. Nas has a good chance of winning the rap category as he’s the “defending” champ so to speak and the Grammy’s historically LOVE awarding repeat artists in Best Rap Album.

I hope Nas at least gets nominated again because it will kill the narrative that the Grammy for King's Disease was a lifetime achievement award. The field was weak and full of backpack rap, him cosigning Lil Nas X helped him gain favor with Grammy voters. Bullshyt like that.

It's one thing to say all that because King's Disease got nominated and won. But what if King's Disease II gets nominated, much less wins? Especially in 2021 with all the big artists that dropped and might continue to drop? What are people going to say then?

They will just find another narrative to run with

Yea nikkas who don’t like Nas will NEVER truly give him his props. Its a sign that he’s a legend though. Only rap legend who doesn’t have a coalition of haters or naysayers is Rakim. Everybody else has an anti-fanbase who LIVES to see them fail.
