@wordlife17, MBDTF is my favourite hip-hop album to be honest. Sure there might be better ones, it’s all opinions anyways. One thing though – is Kanye’s album was best of 2010.

You cant really say who really will be nominated because they are giving the nominations off of albums that came out before september i think

@TheTruthWillShutYouUp,
Yeah. That’s true. Popularity doesn’t neccessarily mean Grammy either. Last year was a pretty clear example.
