Better question is in your opinion when is the last time rap deserved it ?

Never really. But the only technicalities is Miseducation and Love Below. And it’s not changing

Well I got my money on the Californian homosexual soooo

Is this year considered a continuation of Kendrick’s victory lap? Has a rapper ever had a victory lap last this long?

Please tell me you didn’t literally bet on it

Wouldn’t be surprised if Gaga wins AOTY

Or Bad Bunny tbh

Good kid and TPAB

Tribes 2016 album

WTT and MBDTF

Late registration

Stankonia

Off the top.

Of post beef releasing good music ?

Yes and nope. Probably not over either. Will the peak of his career ever fade

Fair I was curious . I just don’t exactly care how awards shake out because I know how it’s decided . Even if all those albums won rap/ hip hop would be in about the same spot to me . Albums were highly rated and talked about .

hope you win then

I got Bad Bunny. I hope he gives his entire speech in his mother tongue

I will probably tune in but this feels like the first year I have no hype for the Grammys in a while

He has Super Bowl last year but released no new music since November 2024 .

People watch these in real time? I thought we all just peeped the acceptance speeches when it's done

GNX deserves raoty at the very least

You didn’t f*** with clipse ?

Clipse. IDFarell is not leaving empty handed. Mossad will make sure of it

This is gonna be hilarious can’t wait

Need that Dijon producer of the year win

Unironically. Also gnx was a short album . Yes some hits but clipse from opening is really vulnerable

The period from 2005 to 2012 is probably the most egregious period of overlooking the artistic and commercial excellence of rap albums

2005 Late Reg
2007 Graduation
2010 MBDTF
2011 Take Care and WTT
2012 gkmc

And there’s definitely more for 08 and 09. Most of these weren’t even nominated for AOTY at all

Clipse and Tyler battling it out for AOTY feels like participation trophy when you look at these. That’s why I half jokingly call it Fantano core because it’s like, why are they here really? They ain’t make graduation

this is my AOTY race

If Kendrick doesn’t win AOTY this year then it’ll never happen.
