LMFAO nominated for a Grammy? ‘Call Me Maybe’ nominated for Best Song? The Grammys are slippin’
Drake will take rap album. You dont have to a Drake fan to figure that one out!! “I didnt throw away that paper wit my grammy speech/because I havnt hit the pinnacles I plan to reach”
Nas for all 5 Grammys or this shh is rigged!!

They’re sleeping on Kendrick with the album of the year…

I’m going to predict the winners only for the rap category since this site is called Killer Hip Hop.
Best Rap Performance- Ni**as In Paris
Best Rap Colloboration- No Church In The Wild
Best Rap Song- Mercy
Best Rap Album- they’ll finally buckle down and say here Drake even though Take Care sounded like a comtemporary R&B album.
