It is but if we are giving out Grammy’s just as lifetime achievement awards why even nominate an album? I don’t like this for the same reason I don’t like when NBA refs give obvious make-up calls after they made a shit call in the other direction. How about the Grammys stop shitting on hip hop instead of giving out an award that is clearly little more than a participation trophy for one of the greats?

Grammys have a history of awarding artists as a "make good" for previous blunders. While To Pimp a Butterfly is an great album you know the only reason it won is to make up for giving Macklemore the grammy over Good Kid, Mad City. 

 

Was King Disease a better album than the other nominates? No but it was a solid project. I'm sure it a "make good" win for fuck it. I'm not gonna be upset over Nas winning something.

- “The Plugs I Met II” by Benny the Butcher. Went in with no one expectations since I’ve seen Benny’s name around but never listened to his music. All in all it was pretty good, tho really not what I was expecting from someone called “the Butcher” lol. Might check him out in the future. 2 Chainz was pretty good...had no idea he was still around.

I'm a big fan of Benny and I been listening to it. I personally think the first Plugs I Met had better features but I like the production on this one more. I think Burden of Proof is better than both.

“Judas and the Black Messiah: The Inspired Album” has something for everyone since it’s basically a big collab. You got Jay-Z, ASAP Rocky, G Herbo, Nipsey Hussle, and more. First half started off pretty weak but basically everything 10 and higher is heat. 

I felt the opposite. I liked the first half of the soundtrack moreso than the second. I felt the first half had more songs with a revolutionary feel to it which so what I want from music inspired by that movie.

Apparently X is now brain dead in a vegetative state. He was just about to make a comeback too, we need a miracle 😔

Yeah I came to this thread to post this. Hope he pulls through but like you said heard he’s a near brain dead. Not looking good.

What is this match up? This is 9-1 on Eve favor. Trina ain't got shit that can compete with Eve's catalog 

That depends on what region you're from, I'm from the south and Trina got bangers. Nobody listens to Eve down here, however that probably holds true for Trina up north. I'd say Eve would probably win tho, since I think her music is more know worldwide, and she is a better lyricist.

It was really Jada vs Cam'ron mostly, the rest were just there for background noise. Jada set the tone immediately and maintained it, the freestyling on top of that sealed the deal. 

 

Dipset clearly ain't rehearse or pick the right songs to play, they have hella bangers but Lox came with a clear plan in mind and had ridiculous synergy performing together. You can tell Dipset probably linked up the day of for the first time in awhile 

 

Slightly salty cuz I picked Dipset but them dudes were so unprepared, like deer in headlights🤦🏾‍♂️😂

I don't know when Jada freestyle but one of the "freestyles" was a mixtape diss to gunit but it applied to dip that night

I am not following like I used to but I didn't even know Dipset were still going. I can understand why they would lose, it is like asking a five year retired NBA star to try and out perform Carmelo or LeBron one on one in gym drills.

They aren't really still Goin. Neither is really putting out new stuff. Like cam put out a mixtape a few years back, Jimmy supposedly in the studio according to what he said on budden a while back.

Jim Jones is the only one still releasing new music. Juelz got out of jail a while back and Cam doesn't do much.
