Mac's family proposed the album for Best Alternative and not for hip hop
Oh okay. Didn’t know that. I’ll remove it from the list
My Turn
Wunna
Suga (this will win cuz of Megan’s crazy year)
Eternal Atake
Hollywood’s Bleeding
Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon
My prediction is Roddy Ricch wins for best album but not for best rap song (will be Savage or wap)
Mac's family proposed the album for Best Alternative and not for hip hop
Hope it wins
RTJ4 being nominated would be so random I've literally never heard it or anyone talking about it
Bro if you think the Klansmen that run the Grammys are gonna get A Written Testimony in which the artist shouts out Elijah Mohammed multiple times nominated
