Silver Tiger Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Other than the the Best Rap Album category, the selection was pretty terrible. Soulja Boy up for best Rap song? Glad the terrible people didn't win though. Maybe Kanye won so much so that he'd stop having fits. God Blessa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'd rather have Kanye win than the rest of them. What is the timetable or time cycle for songs and albums? Like why is Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" nominated? Same thing with "Make it Rain" and why is Nas's album "Hip Hop is Dead" and Jay's "Kingdom Come" nominated? Those songs and albums are from 2006. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Kanye didnt have a lot of competition really did he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 i noticed alot of these albums were from 2006 (the whole grammys) if you look on itunes they have the whole grammy thing on there and it tells you what year each album came out and alot are 2006 which is weird. but i was impressed with the rap album of the year, seemed pretty legit besides the year. they should have put lupe in there, it was 07 and well more deserving as a nominee, and i should have won.

Bob Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Nas, Common, or Talib were my votes for best album. Anway, southside got some recognition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooFresh Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm happy kanye won easily, but he did it not cause Graduation is a masterpiece, only cause nobody was on his level....hip hop scene is poor today.. that's why it nedds Fresh prince again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Looking at those nominees in the hip-hop categories is depressing, Kanye had no competition, most of this stuff mentioned here is the reason why I don't really listen to the radio that much these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I just hope that the collabos with Lupe and Pharrell come soon, it seems like a really good team.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I dont think that goodlife is that good to be best rap song. Stronger, cant tell me nothing, flashing lights are actually better from him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
