I don't mind Drake winning it, but I'm mad because Nas didn't.

Linkin Park makes WAY better and WAY more enjoyable music than Drake does..if you like Drake that's ok..it is not a problem but don't involve other artists when we are talking about Drake just to say something stupid.

Drake > your favorite rapper

so shut the fuck up faggit

All of you take it too far. Nas had a better rap album than Drake, so I think he should've won that one. Not against Drake winning it because I don't really care, but after all the shit Nas has done for hip hop, he fucking deserves more recognition than Drake.

Nas shouldn't win a grammy just because he did a lot for Hip hop tbh (not saying his albums don't deserve a grammy)

[King Lance]

I knew it.. you didn't understand so I edited my post.

An artist shouldnt' win just because of his reputation or because of what he did for the industry.

I guess the grammy experts just analyze the albums and decide which one is better (quality) so it's all good.
Of course Nas deserves some prizes but not because of his name.

He should win RAP grammys because without him there would be none of these new ass rappers BUT also because his album was amazing.

And giving him a grammy would mean Nas represents Rap and Hip Hop in 2012, which would've been dope because he has some of the best songs this year. And a fantastic album. But instead they chose Drake, who's nothing more than an average rapper with a good singing voice. That's not enough to win a "RAP" grammy to me.

Well, an artist shouldn't win just because he's the most popular either.

Maybe you get a nomination because of critics/sales/reputation or whatever you want but I'm pretty sure you don't win the award because of your popularity. (it would be lame)

fully disagree, nas should win because of the quality of his albums, not because he did a lot for the genre.
It's "best rap album of the year" and the experts thought it was right to give the award to Drake, this isn't rly a big deal =p

[K Reidy]

best rap album was "Life is Good" the way Nas takes such negatives from his life and keeps it all uplifting is great

[Trimss]

@Lance5 Re-read it. I didn't say he should win it BECAUSE he did a lot for the genre, but you have to take that into consideration if you're having a hard time deciding who should win it.

Nas is a much better rapper than Drake, and his album deserves it more. But let's say they didn't know which one to pick.. That can be used as a criteria. Because Nas, unlike Drake, is not a begginer anymore. He's been there for almost 20 years now, and yet he still releases QUALITY albums such as Life Is Good.

As a rap album, Life Is Good was a lot better than Take Care.

that's the point, I just don't think they should take that in consideration (what you did for the genre in your life).
On the other hand, It would be ok for me to analyze the impact the albums had in 2011(for Drake)/2012

Well if ur talking about the quality of the album than Life Is Good should have one best "RAP" album.

This is your opinion so it doesn't change anything at all, A lot of ppl praised Take care and it was maybe the same for the Grammy experts.
Maybe it is common sense for you to say that LIG > take care but it isn't

[Trimss]

Critics praised Life Is Good more than Take Care Lance.. lol.

[King Lance]

Well just saying Drake should beat NAS for best Rap album sounds dumb even if it is an opinion.

Who praised Take care? You and a few internet bloggers?

I'm not a fan of drake lol, I don't even listen to this album but a lot of ppl praised it and drake's tour for Take care was ranked one of the best 20 tours in the world, all genre.... So I'm pretty sure it's wrong to say that only a few internet bloggers praised this album.
