stop reading after i saw kendrick lboobobobl

[Slim Fiasco]

How is Nas not even a runner-up? But yeah, I'm fine with Kendrick.

[ImANoob]

kendrick>everyone

[DƎRDYPK]

Who cares?

[LEVITIKUZ]

They just awarded Drakes Tour as the Tour of the year. WTF? Tech N9ne/Strange Music/MGK should have won. 90 shows in 95 days. That's fucking crazy.

[ChristinaE12]

Yeah.. Not even a mention of the Strange/MGK tour. That is fuckin stupid. Especially when, to me, MGK and Tech are probably the two of the best performers.

[momentsgolden]

I'm just glad alchemist is gettin the credit dude deserves. Russian Roullette was on ATS style of not makin a coesive album but jus piecing together different sounds and verses and comin up with a dope project. Rappers Best Friend 2 was absolutely incredible.... Fuckin luv that.

And, yeah, it might be true that Tech N9ne did alot of shows but have you even looked at Drake's list of openers? Its crazy!! I'm not sayin that Drake's a better perfomer but maybe his was jus bigger and more enjoyable because of the support cast. (Yes, Mayday, Prozak, Krizz were on Tech's tour but they are still part of Strange)

Track of the year should go to Truth or Truth tbh. Joey's verse up there with Verse of the year. I know Andre's Sixteen verse is prolly gonna be nominated and that sucks.

Oh, yes, i DO care about HipHopdx awards. Much more than i care about anyone's opinion here jus to keep it 100. They have great coverage and while they can be biased (slaughterhouse got >4 stars for welcome to our house) their awards have been special to me ever since Tech N9ne won Emcee of the year. #the truth

[DƎRDYPK]

ok

[Trimss]

Yeah.. Not even a mention of the Strange/MGK tour. That is fuckin stupid. Especially when, to me, MGK and Tech are probably the two of the best performers.

Definitely. But MGK won "performer of the year" on MTV.

How could Roman Reloaded possibly have been the most disappointing album of the year
