    @LcnsdbyROYALTY I can't think of any mixtapes and these days wtf really constitutes as a mixtape ? Doesn't an artist have the right to categorize their own music since they made it in the first place ? I mean he asked for it to be excluded from the Grammies.

    I think he asked for it to be excluded because he knew it wouldnt win

    Im a lil confused on how to nominate some artists.

    Like i dont think Krit or Rapsody is an "underground artist". Rapsody just got nominated for a Grammy & Krit was on Def Jam with a solid fanbase.

    Also are artists like Jidenna, ChrisRivers, or Joyner Lucas "New"?

    Yea, as time progresses the lines are blurred more and more when it comes to categorization.

    Verse of The Year
    Jay-Z


    You wanna know what's more important than throwin' away money at a strip club? Credit
    You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? This how they did it
    Financial freedom my only hope
    ? livin' rich and dyin' broke
    I bought some artwork for one million
    Two years later, that ? worth two million
    Few years later, that ? worth eight million
    I can't wait to give this ? to my children
    Y'all think it's bougie, I'm like, it's fine
    But I'm tryin' to give you a million dollars worth of game for nine ninety-nine
    I turned that two to a four, four to an eight
    I turned my life into a nice first week release date, mm
    Y'all out here still takin' advances, huh?
    Me and my ? takin' real chances, uh
    Y'all on the 'gram holdin' money to your ear
    There's a disconnect, we don't call that money over here, yeah

    Change my vote. Fab & Jada got album of the year
