Here Come The Grammy's

I know, I know. Gonzo said we were boycotting the Grtammys. But when he said we, he really meant he. As for me, I will be watching and, for some reason, I've decided to make my predictions for the awards that matter to me. So here's how I see it going down on Sunday. Let me know what you think, but don't make any "predictions" come Monday morning. If you think I'm wrong, let me know before it goes down.

Record of the year: What goes Around.../... Comes Around- Whether or not you like Justin Timberlake, you can't argue with his ability to pick producers. He's worked with Pharrell, Timbaland, Danja, and Chad Hugo.

Album of the year: Graduation- Attribute this more to the lack of good albums out than Graduation's greatness. Don't get me wrong, Graduation is a good album, but its not Album of the year good. I actually think Back to Black is better but all the problems Amy Winehouse has had will cost her the award.

Best Dance Recording: D.A.N.C.E.- This category dosen't really matter to me, but I felt I needed to give a little respect to the song that inspired like 1000 remixes in 2007. My favorite is W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

Best Alternative Music Album: Icky Thump- Pretty much every music critic has said the Wite Stripes had the best Rock album of last year and I have to agree. I was kind of surprised to see Lily Allen in the same category as The White Stripes, but whatever.

Best Solo Rap Performance: The People- There really is no other song that deserves to win this category. Stronger was good, but I felt it had more of a pop feel to it. The only other song that I could justify winning this award would be Big Things Poppin'

Best Rap Performance by a Duo: International Player's Anthem- Party Like A Rock Star and Make It Rain both got nominations which is a complete joke. I like Classic and Southside, but not enough people heard those songs.

Best Rap Song: Can't Tell Me Nothing- If Crank That wins, I am going on a hunger strike for like a month. Can't Tell Me Nothing is the only song in the category that has any real meaning.

Best Rap Album: Graduation- This is really a 3 horse race between Kanye, Common, and T.I. If Kanye wins, he will be 3 for 3 in this category (same goes for Best Rap Song Category). I actually think Finding Forever was better than Graduation. But, again, this will come down to what CD has more widespread appeal.

I Could Give a Damn About a Grammy

But what is the point this year? All I really care about when it comes to the Grammy's is the Hip-hop rap catagory and god was i dissapointed this year. I was mad enough last year when Lupe lost the Best Rap/ Hip-hop album to Ludacris' Release Therepy, but this year takes the cake. There are some good things though.Kanye got nominated for Album of the year and he probably is going to win. Also Common got nominated twice for 'The People' and 'Southside'. Also Nas got a nomination for Hip-Hop is Dead, which i really enjoyed.

Now heres where it gets worse. For the Best Rap preformance by a Duo or Group category, not only is 'Make It Rain' nominated, but it is accompanied by 'Party Like a Rockstar'. Also the is a Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category, which I don't even wanna get into because you know its a terrible category. Also R. Kelly got a nomination for 'Same Girl' which was easily the stupidest fucking R&B song next to trapped in the closet. R. Kelly is a singing narrorator and it pains my ears to listen. I miss the 'I believe I Can Fly' R. Kelly.

And finally I went to look at the best Rap Song of the Year.

I Look and see 'Ayo Technology'-terrible

'Big Things Poppin'- ok

'Can't Tell Me Nothin'- pretty good

'Good Life'- ehhh

and the one reason why i lost all hope in the Grammy's....

SOULJA BOY GOT A FUCKING GRAMMY NOMINATION

The grammys are supposted to be the biggest award in Music, you are taking away credibility from yourself when you do stupid shit like even mention Soulja boy's namewhen it comes to recieving an honorable award. He sounds like he is illeterate, and i could only imagine what his acceptance speech will sound like if he wins.

If Soulja can win a Grammy, I can be the next Elvis. I give up man. Im boycotting the Grammys
