Grammy Predictions: Best Rap Album – Kendrick Lamar and ⁤Clipse Lead the Pack

In an especially strong category, two‍ albums stand apart.

This year’s Best Rap Album race ‍should ‍come down to lyrical titans Kendrick Lamar and ‍ Clip, even if the other three nominees are all worthy⁢ in their own right.

‍The⁣ Nominees

Clip – Let God⁢ Sort Em Out
GloRilla – Glorious
J.I.D – God Does Like Ugly

Kendrick Lamar – GNX

⁢ Tyler,the ⁤Creator – Chromakopia

The Lowdown

According to Genius VP ⁢of Music and Content Rob Markman,the ⁢past 12 months in rap have been “the year⁢ of intention,” with artists who⁤ “had some pain that they wanted to⁣ give,some hope that they wanted to give.”

That’s the case with albums from Lamar and Clipse, as well as J.I.D’s God Does⁢ Like Ugly. (J.I.D has long been a respected lyricist too.) Markman is also impressed with the growth that ⁣Tyler, the Creator has shown on Chromakopia, which once again reflects the⁤ best of his lush, layered production chops.

Whoever wins or doesn’t, Markman is adamant⁣ that trophies don’t define us: “Phife‍ Dawg saeid, ‘I never let a statue tell me how nice I am.'”
