Deeper than rap.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:20 pm
jay-z… really… eh, i guess i can’t hate. good songs, but i was hoping that cudi would take one.
and foreign exchange should have definitely won for best urban/alternative performance.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Lonely Island better not win
/ grabs torch
January 31st, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Thank god Drake didnt win… a joke that he was even nominated.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:25 pm
I despise award shows.
(Until I’m nominated for one I guess)
January 31st, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Sucks they didnt nominate BP3 cause it wasnt out before 8/31. Def wouldve won Best Rap Album……..Relapse *Blank Stare*
Messed up they aint got kanye on that “Forever” performance
January 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Cuban Linx 2
January 31st, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Eminem is the king of rap
January 31st, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Ecstatic should have won
January 31st, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I think I’d rather Drake win than any of these
smh at that in itself
January 31st, 2010 at 7:30 pm
an award show in which the trophies/recognition goes to the “elite” members of its industry?…that’s fuking shocking. Jay-Z and eminem..? did not see that coming at all.

January 31st, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Best Rap Solo Performance – Jay-Z – “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)”
==============================================
Bullshit.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I’m almost a Stan but Mos Def should’ve gotten that award for The Ecstatic. Young Joe Camel winning two awards? Negro please.
Max Beezly should’ve gotten an award for lifetime achievement.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:40 pm
looks like Jay & Em are runnin this town tonight… *<see what i did there?*
its 2005 all over again…
January 31st, 2010 at 7:43 pm

Max Beezly should’ve gotten an award for lifetime achievement.

Absolutely.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:48 pm
disappointed > dissapointed
January 31st, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Yea, “Crack a Bottle” is just not a good song… whatsoever…
January 31st, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Honestly feel bad for Mos or Q-Tip not winning best rap album. Relapse was absolute trash. I sincerely despise the Grammy people…
January 31st, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Yall know Mos shouldve took it for best album. Em’s my boy and all, but The Ecstatic was the best. Period
January 31st, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Ciara loooked kinda goood
January 31st, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Best Urban/Alternative Performance
India.Arie & Dobet Gnahore – “Pearls”
^^^^^
“The people said I look sharp on TV,
at the grammys though they tried to India Arie me,
got back stage and i bumped into Stevie,
He said no matter what the people gonna see me”

Best Urban/Alternative Performance
India.Arie & Dobet Gnahore – “Pearls”
==========================
Who?
I’ve never heard this song and I don’t think I care to.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Ecstatic should have won
______________________________

Cosign. Mos and Q-tip’s album were so much better than the others nominated. Relapse and UMC were terrible. I can only assume Flo-Rida was trash. DTR, OBFCL2, and even BP3 would have been better choices.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Thanks Nah Right, I can now focus on Animation Domination on Fox…..at least 50 can stop bitching about not having a grammy (of course riding Em & Dre coattails as usual)..FAIL
January 31st, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Rihanna gonna be in rehab next year. It was written.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:00 pm
*prays Kanye shows up and does something stupid for Rap music*
January 31st, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Worst… Grammys… Ever!! I think they are picking winners by droppin names in a hat and shakin it up at this point.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Rihanna gonna be in rehab next year. It was written.

she looked dogly on the red carpet too

He should take Em’s award away and give it to Mos.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:04 pm
My man just dropped Lady Gaga in the fire. I might actually watch this jawn.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Not bad at all. Those are some good picks
January 31st, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Every album in the best rap category (except Florida don’t listen to him) was better than em’s joint.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Best Rap Song, according to the website, it’s a lyrical category. Dead And Gone has a deeper, stronger, better, more important and wiser message.

if i could afford to bet even a dolla, i bet somone will write an article/youtube post about how the fact that kanye, jay-z, and rihanna were all winners has to do with some shit about jay-z and the illuminatti.

Beyoncé & Kanye West – “Ego”
Keri Hilson, Kanye West & Ne-Yo – “Knock You Down”
Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West – “Run This Town”
T.I. & Justin Timberlake – “Dead And Gone”
The Lonely Island & T-Pain – “I’m On A Boat” – This proves that the grammys don’t give two shits about rap/hip-hop.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:34 pm
fuck is wrong with all these lurkers bein aggy about the Grammy Awards? It is common knowledge that they dont give out the awards based on quality. Get a grip.

BULLSHIT Grammy politics
the saddest thing is that industry professionals vote in the categories of their expertise
Imagine a Grammys in which these professionals vote based on quality.
But that would be ridiculous. Since when were awards supposed to be given to deserving recipients?

January 31st, 2010 at 10:56 pm
jay was right about the grammys only picking the names of the people they know you can just tell me looking at some of this shit they just see eminem or jay-z and tick that box
January 31st, 2010 at 10:59 pm
if relapse didnt have We Made You it would be a classic album true story i didnt rocc with that Insane song either but it got critical acclaim for some reason people who listen to lyrics and interpret them for a profession said it was a good song and said might have been the best one on that album
smh at these eminem stans
