He’s nominated in seven hip-hop categories overall, including Best Rap Song, Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. “It’s a sure thing he’ll take all the rap awards he’s nominated for this year,” Entertainment Weekly music critic Leah Greenblatt said.
But the New Orleans lyricist’s eighth nomination is the most impressive: Album of the Year. Lauryn Hill and Outkast are the only hip-hop artists to take home the Album of the Year trophy at past Grammy ceremonies. Wayne will be going up against critical darlings like Coldplay and Radiohead, but some of the producers who worked on Tha Carter III think Wayne has as good a shot at winning as any other artist.
Regardless how you feel about Weezy, this is good for hip hop so I wish him luck.. Peep the entire article over at MTV.com..
