The Official Grammy nomination thread

[Busby]

it used to be called best rap/sung performance.


they're just separating best rap performance from the ones where there's more singing

It’s basically the award they made for Drake.

It’s basically the award they made for Drake.

1. the award started in 2002.

2. Drake has won this twice, and the only time he did it as the lead (Hotline Bling) is what led him to stop submitting for the Grammys altogether,

Common and Pete rock should win rap album for sure. Anything else is fukkery

Kendrick winning ROTY or SOTY would be deserved but I can’t see them giving him a General Field award for a straight up, no-holds-barred diss song that calls another rapper a pedophile. Remember for a General Field win he’d need more than the Hip Hop collective’s support. Peers of the industry at large would be sending a message to Drake that they don’t fukk with him and I can’t see that happening. He may have gotten absolutely STOMPED in the Hip Hop world, and that certainly translated into the mainstream, but as long as Drake has any commercial viability whatsoever the industry won’t throw him away.
