I love that album but not for it's sonic fidelity

Let's just say this comes as a surprise

Album of the Year
Best Rap Album
Best Rap Solo Performance
Best Rap Sung Vocal Collaboration
Best Rap Song (twice)
Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group (twice)

He canceled himself in two of the categories. That's why he got eight. He's nominated in six categories but is in there eight times, ain't that an oxymoron?

This cat nominated 4 eight Grammies.....
That pretty much somes up the state of the music biz in 2008.

Grammys tend to nominate whoever sold the most copies, but they don't always win.

Maybe they'll give it to someone they should have years ago, like when Herbie Hancock won that Grammy last year. (I like that CD too)

Cinnie said:

They're gonna give it to Coldplay! WATCH!

Besides I think Weezy may only get one or two if he's lucky and he may not even get it for Best Rap Album. I heard some songs, he's garbage. People did better raps on "A Milli" better than him.

I thought it was bad when the Madonna's of world recieved grammies. This takes it 2 a whole new level.....or should I say drops it?

Cinnie said:

You know what's funnier?

He's nominated in that category with T-Pain.

I highly doubt Album of the Year is going to him.

And the rest of the nominations fall under "rap" which he was most popular in this year, so maybe this isn't so crazy.

They collaboratin' with the computer

Cinnie said:

In the long run, no it isn't so crazy. He will win two at the least in the rap category...if he's lucky. He's only been Grammy nominated for the least part and that was a collaboration.

i hope he wins every one of them cuz he deserves them no other artist out there during this recession pumped a million sales in the 1st week and lil wanye has appeared on almost every song on the charts he has worked his ass off so dont hate on the man cuz i dont feel like coldplay recent work is worth a 2 cents

Honestly im thinking its going to Plant/Krauss for album of the year because the industry votes and the industry really respects this record as they should. Sales have nothing to do with the grammies, it very rarely goes for sales, however when they do the album of the year, they always by trade toss in one big seller from rap/rb (lil wayne), one critical fave (plant/krauss), one to appease the newer critics (radiohead), one iconic who you think will win (coldplay) and then toss in something else. But i think whatever wayne wins will be in the rap categories. they only give out about 10 awards on the show and have 20 performances, which is insane. If they had all this time to do this stupid "nominations" show, why not just make the telecast 4 hours, and give out more awards on the show.

I really hope lupe wins in the rap categories wayne is nominated for. The cool is an awesome album and superstar is way better than lollipop

Big time. I love that Lupe album.

there hasn't been a GREAT rapper since tupac IMO!

Is there a chugging narcotic cough syrup category?

Timmy84 said:

I thought this category was for actual groups and duos.

Cinnie said:

You could actually get in through collaborations, I think it's been done before, check out the R&B category, lol.

Timmy84 said:

I guess they don't have a proper "collabs" category so they go in there.

Any NEW categories this year?

Cinnie said:

No I don't think so.
