Is it just me, or are the R-N-B nominations excellent or what? I'm impressed...infact i'm excited about them. The Rap ones suck. Common Sense deserves 2 win the ones he's nominated for. I mean, do any of those fools really deserve being considered?

Great, if Kanye doesn't win all the grammy awards that he is nominated for, he is going to cry and fuss again. Not trying to be a hater or anything, but it just bothers me when he disrespects everyone else that wins like he did before.

I hope Common wins the all the nominations that he is up for.

Nas should win best rap album of the year

The fact that Soulja Boy is nominated for a Grammy is a disgrace to music in general.

The fact that Soulja Boy was even considered to be nominated is a disgrace to music. And I wouldn't be shocked if he won though something tells me that Kanye is going to get a lot of Grammys this year.
