Horrible, except for Kendrick Lamar. No wonder Dre is like Fuck rap you can have it back.

So I guess any album release of the last quarter of a year attributes the new year. Kendrick's album was out on October 22nd 2012.

They gave it album of the year THIS year lol.

its always the same with any awards the artists that selling big win the awards and are not always the most talented or even the best music out at the time.

I watched most of it and the whole time I kept thinking to myself this is the result of pacs death. Rap is dead. The only thing half good was the beats. Pac would lyrically had murdered songs with them type of beats. Production hss clearly come a long way since the 90's But these niggas nowadays cant rap. Worst part of the show though goes to puff daddy. He jumped out on stage and started rappin actin like he was god and everybody cheered. I was sayin to myself this nigga had pac killed and you idiots are applauding him. Then to make matters worse they put a crown on his head as if to say he is a king. Horrible
