There we have it peeps, Money maker is the best rap song of the year! Can't deny it, if the grammys say so. :S

Really is sickening. Garmmys are not hip hop.

Yeah Grammy's are fucking wackkkkkk

How come HHID isnt nominated...

the roots don't fell right didn't won?? fucking bastards...

Yeah Grammy's are fucking wackkkkkk

How come HHID isnt nominated...

Because that album will be nominated next Grammy.

The only things that deserve to on any of the categories is "Don't Feel Right"
and Game Theory.

Grillz,we run this,what you know,smack that? wtf is up with this.

It's even got a beyonce song,smh.

Who the fuck ever talked about pharrell-In my mind?

I want to know how these things are judged,fuckin record industry or some shit.

Rap music is different from Hip Hop music.

only cool song on that whole list is "kick push" but I mainly like that cos I'm a skater.

Pretty rediculas...Media hurts rap. This show is watched by millions, and this is what the audience is given. And to anyone who doesn't listen to hip hop, they think these guys are the best of the bunch, then they listen to it, and are like ugh, rap sucks. Bugs me.

Game Theory > (In My Mind + King + Release Therapy)

yeah, it's only based on the commercial winnings... every day i hate T.I more and more

Go Mos and Lupe!!! I'm surprised anyone recognized them for what they bring to the table.

smh at the rest.

.

Thats digusting..

Release Thearapy was a solid album

But on the otha hand, Roots and LUPE got robbed imo

Both couldve gotten somethin, but whateva

who the fuck cares what the Grammys have to say about hip hop? thate like BET giving out awards for country bluegrass music...

^ We do, because millions of people watch the grammys and once again shitty commercial pop/rap music prevails, the roots should of EASILY taken that!

The shitty cunts always take most of the categories. Nothing new.

Go Mos and Lupe!!! I'm surprised anyone recognized them for what they bring to the table.

smh at the rest.

.

oops. I forgot to mention the Roots. Anyway, at least they got nominated, but I can't believe the winners.

.

Its a shame, Lupe, Mos Def & Roots all deserved to be recognized...

What hurts more is that the rappers that did win, know that they did shitty songs and Albums and got recognized for bringing out shit, and they'll bring out even worse stuff in the future knowing they'll win.

My Love - Justin Timberlake, was a perfectly decent R'n'B song that was ruined by T.I.'s verse

I think I hate T.I. :(

Its hard to say this, but the only COMMERCIAL rappers keeping it real nowadays are The Game and Nas...

:( :( :(

yep i can't beleive most of these acts were even nominated let alone winners

.... LMMFAO! Can't really say much that hasn't already been sadi but rofl... these people really don't deserve this recognision...

what a load of crap

i might be sick...
