Streets Disciple as a whole is just crazy criminally underrated. Nas and Salaam cooked up something special with that one.

What is the source of their beef, is it that 9th Wonder sent Nas some beats and he denied them?

CD 1 of SD was hard body....was a few gems on CD 2...
I wish the original Disciple was on the album rather then the alternative though...
Imagine if Talk of NY, Serious, Good Morning & Imagine replaced some of the filler on CD 2...

All of those songs were supposed to be on the 3rd disk of Street’s Disciple.
Columbia wouldn’t allow Nas to release a 3 disc album so they scrapped all of those songs
Nas finally acknowledged his nom
Variety makes the case that Nas and Gibbs should have received AOTY nominations in addition to their Rap Album noms

There’s been a TON of times where the highest Metacritic scored album lost.
Nobody knows exactly what the hell the Grammy’s voting process is lmao.
I feel Nas will get the win because King’s Disease is a great album and in a year where Black Lives Matter became a rallying cry for black empowerment, they’ll probably want to award an album that has a song like Ultra Black included (and it was the lead single) Plus King’s Disease was the highest selling album of all the projects nominated in that category and Nas has the most “brand recognition” of the group.

The Grammys tend to have some tropes that dictate how they act with the major awards. Sometimes the biggest album of the year wins out - think, Daft Punk a few years ago. Sometimes the respected legend wins with a popular yet mediocre (or worse) album - think, U2 in 2006. Or a respected legend wins after death - think, Ray Charles 2005. Then you have those "credibility" reset wins where a surprise happens from an indie or semi popular artist that has been deemed "perhaps the next big thing" - think, Arcade Fire beating out Lady Gaga/Eminem/Katy Perry.
Outside of the major categories, the Grammys loves to give awards to vets/legends. Even if the album isn't good. In Nas' case he's a vet/legend but the album is actually good. I want to say he's a lock for rap AOTY but never doubt the power of Roc Nation (Jay Electronica). It's gonna be one of those two albums...I'll take a month ban if the other noms win that shyt. I think at this point, given the way King's Disease was received...there are a lot of people on that committee who want Nas to win. Swizz, Timbo, Alicia Keys, Puff...maybe even Hov.
