Grammy really wants the Hip-Hop involvement !!!! Congrats to Kendrick still !!!
They still making up for robbing GKMC.
Kinda overcompensating now lol
Back 2 back nominated for a grammy, Meek that’s fucked up, diss songs getting nominated now, hahaha
I thought the same shit lol
It doesn’t deserve to, but then again it wasn’t a real diss song
why don’t you think that was a real diss song G?
Because it wasn’t. It wasn’t no ether, no hit me up, no takeover. Just a catchy polite diss for Drake to become more popular before his album 5th album drops. Nothing real. Jay Z called him a woman, Kendrick called him a sensitive rapper and he decides to reply Meek who isn’t shit on the first place because that’s an easy win
Honestly, I didn’t catch Hov or Kendrick call drake that. Meek actually said his name and accused him of ghost writing so it makes sense why drake went for meeks head. Other than that, i would agree that it wasn’t the greatest diss track in history.
Listen to We made it, the Jay Z remix, then listen to the BET cypher for Kendrick in 2013. What I don’t understand is Drake fans are saying that it’s normal for rappers to have ghostwriters so why did Drake diss Meek? Knowing that if a real MC stepped up to him he wouldn’t do shit.
U have a point but, the difference between what Jay and Kendrick did/do and what Meek did is simple. Meek shit was a str8 call out, whereas Jay/ Dot were subliminal. And Drake did respond back to them subliminally.
Back 2 Back is definitely a diss song tho. Besides Charlie Sheen, Meek took the biggest L this year…
I disagree, Jay Z called Drake a woman straight up, “Mrs. Drizzy” and Drake didn’t do shit. Back to back was a ‘diss’ but it a weak ass one and Drake is still too pissy to call out names. Twitter won the battle for him and not his bars. He didn’t even deny ghostwriting
Kendrick and Drake have been subliminally dissing each other ever since Kendrick’s control verse. Drake has too many fuckin’ people riding his wave, which is why he got away with having a ghostwriter. Having a ghostwriter should take away any rappers credibility. But I wouldn’t mind a Kendrick and Drake beef.
Kendrick would eat him alive
Record of the year? song of the year? what’s the damn difference?
Record of the year is for the artist (vocal) performance. Song of the year is for the songwriter. In hip-hop, usually it’s the same person/people. Hence, why a hip-hop artist never wins both.
Word
But if u are Kanye it matters since he don’t write his shit
To Pimp a Butterfly is absolutely what defines hip hop. Kendrick ties in his messages with his lyrics so well, the message is incredible, and makes positive impact on society. He’s an artist in every sense of the word. Absolute masterpiece.
Finally, you spew some sense.
😳😳😳😳
Whoa…
Salute to u if that’s how u really feel.
Part of me tho, feel like u’re trolling.
That’s how I feel. I used to be sarcastic all the time until people started getting their feelings hurt.
*Face Palm* Stop trolling Felicia! Either that or you’re borderline schizophrenic because you don’t go from shading artists like Kendrick for the past year and then suddenly become a fan? Sarcasm? Psh! Trolling 101 combined with multiple personality disorder #ByeFelicia #GoSeeYourTherapist
Why are you on every one of his posts calling him felicia. Last years corny joke that girls would say to each other.
Smmfh? Sarcasm! Look it up Michael
you just as lame as sonic you look dumb trying to analyze a troll’s tweets
Your mother’s lame for birthing an idiot who obviously doesn’t understand sarcasm! Go get your fucking shine box
Isn’t “Face Palm” and “Bye Felicia” something girls and gay gugs say!?!
Not sure what a “gay gug” is but here’s a bag of dicks to hold while you figure that out! Run along Corky
Yahoo CEO, Marissa Meyer has gone so far as to Support the practice “Work at home” that I have been doing since last year. In this year till now I have earned 84k dollars with my pc, despite the fact that I am a college student. Even newbies can make 39 an hour easily and the average goes up with time. Why not try this.
nmn…

That’s what’s up…
I predict Taylor Swift Likely to Sweep Nominations.
Drake can finally stop calling IYRTITL a “mixtape” now. Mixtapes don’t get nominated for Grammys.
Great marketing ploy though.
It was to get out of Cash Money. Drake is smart man.LMAO
What a Time to Be Alive was still released through Cash Money
Isn’t he still under Cash Money though?
“Back To Back” – Drake
Meek is taking an L if he wins.LMAO
Kendrick will sweep the rap category
I hope J.Cole wins at least one
Like his idols Nas and Pac, I doubt Cole will ever win a Grammy.
He doesn’t play the politics, could careless about the radio and will almost always release an album the same year as Drake or Kendrick.
King Kendrick
Surprised that “Hotline Bling” didn’t get a nomination. Fits every criterion.
When it comes to j.Cole “dope and underrated” is what u always utter FANBOY
You got me confused. Yo dumbass can’t even stalk right!
Maybe it was released or charted after the deadline
Deadline is in December. Was released in July. Before back-to-back.
Supposedly Cash Money didn’t submit it.
next year its going to win a couple trophies
Won’t be eligible next year.
His people didn’t submit it they submitted back to back for some reason.
fuck the grammys
well if kdot is up for album of the year then that means he won rap album of the year. i rather forest hills drive.
not really he was up for album of the year for GKMC too
i dont get how this system works
Congrats Kendrick. TPAB is a well put together thought provoking musical masterpiece. I see kendrick winning 3 or 4 grammys to sit lovely with the 2 he already have. PeAcE.
Big Sean shoulda got nominated for Rap Album of the Year over Nicki Minaj. His album deserved it.
Congrats to Kendrick but everybody know who ran hiphop/music in 2015, and y’all swear Drake the one overrated. Haa
future?
Lol, naw I was referring to Drake but Future had the steets on lock tho
Thats awesome the internet got nominated. Hard work pays off.
The Grammys Basicly nominated Meek for L of the year.. That Back To Back shit still won’t go away.
TPAB deserves it hands down
Yo? “Back To Back” received a Grammy nod? Lmfao! Anyway Kendrick should sweep every category imo
MUCH RESPECT. NOW THIS IS TRUE HIP HOP.
As he should.
I Knew It !!! Im A Genius “They Made Big Sean,Rocky,Cole,Drizzy,Nicki,Meek All Come OUt This Year For THis Reason To Back Up Kanye Saying The Grammys Doesnt Show Hip Hop LOve !!!!!!! ONly Artist That Has A NAme that didnt drop an album Is Kanye !!!! -Kraft Bronx,Ny “Think About It “
