Hope Nas runs it back with Kings Disease 2. He had the absolute BEST album of the nominees going on two years in a row.


It would be insane if Nas & Jay won a Grammy together for Bath Salts and also that being X’s first Grammy win.
If the Grammys were foreal foreal in judging the music. It is no question KD2 should win.

Traditionally receiving an album of the year nomination almost assures that you’ll win your genre awards. In this case it looks like Donda is the favorite for rap AOTY. Surprised Tyler didn't get an AOTY nom btw.

Wow just saw Bath Salts got a nom, so that's two for Nas. It would be wild if Hov/DMX/Nas got a grammy for that together.

Grammy Nominations are announced on Tuesday.. Kanye, Tyler, Drake, J.Cole and Nas most likely are the 5 locks but I think a curveball is coming. Hopefully not at the expense of Nas.

Strong field. Kanye gonna take it I think. I wouldnt' be too mad about it. I'm just surprised they didn't put Lil Nas X in there. He's probably under the pop category.

You’re absolutely right. I think maybe only three times in Grammy history did the Best Rap Album trophy go to the album that wasn’t also nominated for AOTY.


Also Kanye won last year for Jesus Is King in Best Contemporary Christian Album so the Grammy’s still have love for him.


Whats working in Nas’s favor is that He’s the winner from this year and the Grammy’s historically LOVE rewarding repeat nominees in the Rap Album category. Also there is no commitee this year so Nas could theoretically have an edge having the more critically acclaimed and celebrated album from a straight vote.


The world wasn’t as in love with Donda, the spectacle caused more hype than the actual music and him hanging out with the likes of Da Baby and Marilyn Mason during the height of their “scandals” rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.


Nas and Tyler both have pretty good chances as Tyler’s album was as critically acclaimed as Nas’s was. So we’ll see
