Why was Kendrick Lamar nominated for "Humble?"

[ECA]

Drake had bigger songs than "Humble" yet none of the singles he released last year topped the charts

Control system, habits >>>>>>

S80
Gkmc
Tpab
Damn

All classics objectively. Real music fans recognize this.

Real music fan?

I pay and have hard copies of all them. But I think section 80 is his best, GKMC didn't age well, TPAB gets praised for the jazz compositions but is class and damn is just plain overrated and hyped when it's average.

I gotta stop paying for music and listening to it since it doesn't make me a "real music fan"

Yes! Ab soul is a pure lyricist. Sometimes he tries to hard but DWTW was a perfect balance for him.

Q doesn't get the credit I think he deserves. Blank face was one of the best rap albums to drop that year

I'mma disagree, on every album outside of GKMC. Kendrick makes good hits, but album wise, I've seen better

 

[Terrance Curtis Beasley]

because drake is a fakkit

 

[mr.africa]

It's ok for you to agree. Those knowledgeable in every area of music will recognize those albums as excellent, especially TPAB which is by far the greatest album of the decade, possibly the 21st century too.

The song is not terrible, but it is by NO way a song of the year. Its not even close.

I mean for fukks sake, Goldlink deserves that shyt way more than Kendrick did. I mean even Drake had songs bigger than Humble this year. or Lil Uzi Vert with XO Tour Life

Drake didn't have a bigger song than Kendrick. If he did, he would've submitted it to the Grammy committee. And, Humble was always above XO Tour Llif3. Like we're really gonna put Uzi's bumass crooning above Kendrick? Not even going to bother anymore, Bruno is taking that award, anyway.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Because it's one of the biggest songs of 2017 and that's mainly what the Grammys are concerned with? No need to over think this stuff.

 

[Evil Grandson]

Because his left stroke went viral

The biggest songs of 2017 are not opinions lmao

Humble was #4 and Drake was not even close

Drake never had a RAP song hit #1 .. Kendrick did
