    Oh yeah, Jay E def got elected just bc it was a Roc Nation album with Hov features all over it.

    If it was about industry connects A Written Testimony would've won cuz Hov is much more connected in the industry and media than Nas.

    Hov def bought meg all her grammys but didn't buy one for his joint album with Jay elec?
    Lmao

    Unrelated but :

    We need to talk about how kendrick lamar changed the way alot of black artists make art after he put out TPAB

    I'm convinced Justin would've never included MLK snippets if he didn't see black artists getting acclaim for that

    Sad part is they don't have the
    creativity, skill nor the sincerity to pull it off

    I first saw Detroit 2 cover, track list with Eryka Badu and Stevie wonder, + the singles he put out : I knew what time it was

    Kendrick influenced people down to the way they shoot music videos now

    Real

    Nas has already been doing it with Untitled but the world wasn't ready. If he put out Untitled now it would be critically acclaimed.

    Eh it’s so hard not to let bias get in the way.

    Jay elec could have gotten it too. I mean that album was fantastic for boomers like me.

    But it’s so much more meaningful to me that Nas got the win on an album full of old school rapping and soulful beats.

    Running through the album for the first time in a few months
    Maaaan they really captured lightning in a bottle.

    Car #85 beat just warms my heart up. ❤️
    Ultra back, little laser sounding beat is amazzzing

    Whole album is essentially a throwback to my childhood, but updated for today’s sensibilities thanks to hit boy

    Nas dropped a fantastic album that’s award winning worthy but Nas being the biggest star in the category and the not having a Grammy storyline were definitely part of why the Grammys gave it to him

    King's Disease is probably my fav rap album from the last few years, as time goes on I only realize how ahead of the curve it is.. straight heat from start to finish.

    Where do you rank it with his other albums?

    álbum also feels cheery and optimistic in a good way.

    so many rappers these days sound so dreary, high beyond comprehension, drowning under the beats.

    king’s disease was v nostalgic and refreshing sounding tbh. hit boy gets major credit for that too.

    !!!

    That's a big part of its charm

    Really makes me wonder if the next album will follow the same direction or sound darker.. Nas seems in a really good place so it probably will
