ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Jay-Z- 4:44
Kendikk Lamar- Damn.
Childish Gambino- Awaken My Love
Lorde- Melodrama
Bruno Mars- 24K Magic
I think Lorde or Bruno Mars will win. Just don't buy AOTY going to rappers (unless it's something like a big Kanye album) given the voters involved. Lorde would be the more traditional pick (songwriter, woman, young, etc). But Bruno's album would certainly appeal to many voters as well. I'd put Kendrick as the third most likely to win, simply because he had the biggest album of the year.
RECORD OF THE YEAR
Childish Gambino- Redbone
Jay-Z- The Story Of OJ
Kendrick Lamar- Humble
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Beiber- Despacito
Bruno Mars- 24K Magic
Honestly hard to see how any argument could be made for any song over Despacito, which is literally one of the biggest songs of all time. Personally if I was voting I'd pick 24k Magic since it's the best record imo.
SONG OF THE YEAR
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Beiber- Despacito
Jay-Z- 4:44
Logic featuring Khalid and Alysa Cara- 1-800-273-8255
Thats What I Like- Bruno Mars
Julia Michaels- Issues
Despacito.
BEST NEW ARTIST
Lil Uzi Vert
Khalid
Alyssa Cara
SZA
Julia Michaels
I'd bet money SZA wins.
RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Jay-Z- 4:44
Kendrick Lamar- Damn.
Rhapsody- Laila's Wisdom
Migos- Culture
Tyler The Creator- Flower Boy
I think Hov wins. The voters who listen to hip hop prob will vote for him, and those who don't will pick DAMN imo. I'd pick DAMN personally. But remember even the hip hop voters are of an older age demo. Guys like Questlove are gonna go with 4:44 no doubt.
BEST RAP SONG
Cardi- B- Bodak Yellow
Kendrick Lamar- Humble
Danger Mouse Featuring RTJ- Chase Me
Sassy- Rhapsody
Jay-Z- The Story Of OJ
Humble or Story Of OJ.
BEST RAP PERFORMANCE
Big Sean- Bounce Back
Kendrick Lamar- Humble
Kodak Yellow- Cardi B
Migos- Bad And Boujee
Jay-Z- 4:44
I'd bet on Humble. Could be wrong but I think the hype over 4:44's title song is overstated. It's dope, but I'm talking about people saying the song could win multiple awards.
BEST RAP/SUNG PERFORMANCE
6LACK- PRBLMS
Goldlink Featuring Shy Glizzy
Jay-Z Featuring Beyonce- Family Feud
Kendrick Lamar Featuring Rihanna- Loyalty
SZA Featuring Travis Scott- Love Galore*
Family Feud.
The thing that could derail Hov winning as much as I think he will...is Tidal and his (alleged) anti-Semantic comments on Story Of OJ. I could see white voters siding with Kendrick over him due to that. Even though, ironically, Kendrick's album is full of black Israelite ideology lmao.
Jay-Z- 4:44

A really good Lawyer
nikkas gone be HOT when that pasty trash Lorde come thru with that Golden Trophy
I know I will be
Only reason I think Kendrick really has a chance is because AOTY is literally her ONLY nomination. She was shut out of her own genre field as well as any general field noms. Kendrick is up for another award in the general field and EVERY award in his genre field.
But then again I’m the same nut who SWORE up and down that Kendrick was gonna beat Taylor Swift in 2015

Gold Derby thinks Logic could upset Kendrick for Best Music Video
Directed by Andy Hines, the video features actor Coy Stewart as the central bullied teenager, Don Cheadle as his disapproving father, Nolan Gould (“Modern Family”) as his classmate with whom he’s in a relationship, Matthew Modine as Gould’s father, and Luis Guzman as Stewart’s coach. It’s essentially a seven-minute short film and stands out from this field of nominees. As of this writing it ranks second in our overall predictions with 9/2 odds, but one of the Expert journalistswe’ve polled, Chris Willman (Gold Derby), says it will upset. It also has support from two of our Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s Grammy winners, and three of our All-Star Top 24 who got the highest scores when you combine the last two years’ predictions.
1-800” is performed and co-written by Logic, Alessia Cara, and Khalid, who are also up for Song of the Year for their efforts. That indicates strong support for the song that could translate here, though two other nominees in this category (“Humble” and “The Story of O.J.” by Jay-Z) contend for Record of the Year, so they have more than their share of support as well. But they’re not backed up by award-winning actors like “1-800.”

Esquire taps K.Dot to take home AOTY
Who Will Win: DAMN, Kendrick Lamar. Now is the time. Lamar has been snubbed too many times at this goddamn award show, and now is the time for the Recording Academy to make up for it. This time, Lamar is among the biggest rappers in the world. The Grammys can’t ignore him any longer.

Cardi B will win best rap performance, and it will be televised
Track Record.Net says that Hov SHOULD win AOTY but that Lorde probably will
Senior Staff Writer, David Turner: I’d throw out that either Jay-Z or Lorde are going to win it. Voters would probably enjoy giving an award to one of rap’s oldest faces or going the arty route with Lorde and rewarding her for taking so long between albums while remaining relevant.
Managing Editor, Maria Sherman: It’s Lorde’s only nomination, which leads me to think they might give it to her.
Senior Staff Writer, Frida Garza: I feel like we should aim to be disappointed and in that case I would agree. Lorde wins.
WINNER: Lorde — Melodrama
