The other two are by Lorde and Bruno Mars. I haven't paid attention to the grammy's in years and was just reading Donald Glover's wikipedia page and learned he is one of those nominations. Good for him.

Or, and I know this is unusual to rap haters, maybe they're good albums. And Donald Glover last album was not rap. There is not a single track with him rapping on it at all iirc.

Yeah its only 2/5 although Glover had been a rapper. And to be fair, Jay-Z is almost there as a legacy get.

He's actually pretty good. His early stuff was pretty weak imo but Because The Internet onward is actually pretty good, I personally loved his newest album. Redbone is a favorite of mine and some top tier baby making music too.
I'd give him a shot if you're into rap or even R&B because the album nominated actually is his only album with no rapping on it.
The dude is really extremely talented. Great with scripted comedy, great at stand up, good actor, talented musician, etc.

I liked 4:44 since it wasn't absolute garbage like MCHG but I'm surprised it got a nomination

Gambino's album is funk r&b not rap

OK. Let's say 4/5 of the AOTY albums are hip hop or R&B.

I'm pretty 4:44 is going to win. I love Kendrick but it's better than DAMN. Lorde won't win because of her recent comments on Israel. I feel like Awaken, My Love! is too inconsistent as an album. I haven't listened to 24k Magic though.

Sales is a good measure, I mean people bought it for a reason.

Eminem went number 1 with an absolute trash album last week though. Adele has the best 1st week numbers on record, its hardly the best album ever. Shit its not even her best record.

If it's getting killed, it should have never been #1, but someone had to like it so much to make it reach that far!
