I'd rather have Kanye win than the rest of them. What is the timetable or time cycle for songs and albums? Like why is Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" nominated? Same thing with "Make it Rain" and why is Nas's album "Hip Hop is Dead" and Jay's "Kingdom Come" nominated? Those songs and albums are from 2006. Am I missing something?

i noticed alot of these albums were from 2006 (the whole grammys) if you look on itunes they have the whole grammy thing on there and it tells you what year each album came out and alot are 2006 which is weird.

but i was impressed with the rap album of the year, seemed pretty legit besides the year. they should have put lupe in there, it was 07 and well more deserving as a nominee, and i should have won.

Looking at those nominees in the hip-hop categories is depressing, Kanye had no competition, most of this stuff mentioned here is the reason why I don't really listen to the radio that much these days
