Sappro22:You can laugh in Fulani for all I care, you have not told me which rap album beats his in the year under review. I would have gone with MI latest album but it wasn't nominated. Guess it didn't fall into the period under review. So can u please go through the nominated rap albums and tell me which one is superior to the playmaker. You either show up or shut up!!! 1 Like |

Sappro22:Don't make a fool of yourself, Phyno's playmaker will win the best rap album category. It's not a voting category which means it's headies that will decide who wins that category and if you use your brain properly, you will see that headies have already shown you the winner. Of all the albums nominated under best rap album, it's only Phyno's playmaker that was also nominated for overall best album of the year, all the others didn't make the cut. So you can see where headies is tilted towards. If they regard playmaker as the only rap album worthy enough to contest in the overall best album category, they have already given you the clue that they believe it's the best rap album of the year |
