Fክዩ ሀበሻዊው አቤል

[@aki-Teee3]

[@supremeweeb8628]

we only care bout da freshman list and we hardly care bout dat anymore

[@ditchboyhill_0781]

They don't even try to hide they just pick popular people anymore. Nicki? The one who's biggest publicity this year was making (in a year with the heart part 6 in it) the worst diss track of the whole year? Travis who hasn't even dropped an album? And don't even get me started on Drake.

Bro all these Kanye snubs, how does he only have 1 nomination

I think that for artist of the year,they should have put jpeg,zel,and Q instead of travis,nicki and drake.

Don't think the weekend is the hip hop artist

[@3hunnid889]

HUNNID VAYO

[@dylan_lvn]

wtf is that nominees list, only mainstream artist. we will not talkin about g-herbo, 808 southside, mac critter and many more. And why put clash sounds in the songs of the year. I think yall should not only watch numbers of views but the quality, ngl who tf listen "like that" in 1st degree mode, this shi cool only because kendrick made a diss. And for me album of the year is defo "One of Wun" and "We don't trust you". Idc about Lil baby number of views, this dude is a product of clout, mf is not good wit he shit ah "baby voice" ts is stuck in 2018.

[@TheSoutheastWarriorUK]

There ain't a better lyricist than eminem in hip hop. If you give it to somebody else, then that would be a joke & so rigged. He has proved it enough time & time again. Eminem deserves most of the awards, but why do i have my suspicions that kendrick is already chosen to win? 🤷‍♂️🤔 Please don't be like the scammys & rob deserving artists.
