yeah eminem rocks

Oh my days . . . four hiphop nominees for record of the year, it's never been this good.

e'm wont stop untill his hip dont hop anymore. he's goin home with atleast 5 of those nominations

Funny enough, He's not in ten categories but nominated more than once in a category which gives him a greater chance of winning that category, He'll possibly win nothing less that 4,but the possibility of winning six like Beyonce last year out of ten. Is slim.

2011 Grammy's belong to Hip Hop!

No K'naan?? How big does a song have to be to be nominated for Song of the Year??

Fela was nominated too right??

True story

@eldee: In the Grammy description for each category,it says Song Of The Year(SOTY) is a record that was released the previous year or during the eligibility period of songs to be nominated by the Grammy academy and has carved a niche for itself by being known by 80% of the music lovers and was enormously successful.It is presented to the Songwriters and not to the performers.
The only difference that exists between SOTY and Record Of The Year(ROTY) is the fact,ROTY is a song or track that is being remembered in the future as the hit of a particular year.It is presented to The songwriter,artist,producer and engineer.
Album Of The Year(AOTY) on the other hand is the paramount award at the Grammy awards, Awarded to all who participated in the production of the album. This award has being won once by a hip hop artist,in 2004 by Outcast for their album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below".

@Firebomb

I'm sorry but I don't get how this explains why one of the biggest songs of the year didn't get a nomination??

Africans no dey eva dey

bros there is an african/world music section there. go to the website for moe details. african music doesnt dominate world charts, hence why they arent mentioned in the main categories. doesnt mean the quality is bad.

funniest stuff i heard today. thanks bro

Oh my oh my!!!!! Give it up to my favorite white boy, EMINEM

No nigerian this time? Bcoz last edition of grammy award FEMI KUTI was among d nominee.

dis white guy never tire for award, na only him

em's recovery is dope. but i wasnt expectin up to 10nominations. i dont think therez bn a lot of very good stuff from other rappers anyways. I am expectin Nas & damian marley's collabo album to be nominated somewhere

Cee Lo's F---k u song made it ?

Well I never!

Wooh eminem leads in d grammy wit 10 nominations.Congratz Em,definately 2010 is his comeback year.

i would be surprised if Eminem weren't given those Nominations. Have u guys listend to 'No love' ft. Lil wayne? Kai Eminem is the best rapper alive, no sentiments. Feature him in a song and he'll prectically steal ur shine from ur own song, he's own verse would be far better (and longer lolz), now thats how u knw a good artist. The guy doesn't rap about cars, bling and money. Eminem has placed the rap game on a level far outta the reach of other rappers.

This whole thing na OJORO walahi, I dey vex. why terry g name no dey there?

Eminem is the bomb

@eldee: What song are you talking about

The only categories you find International acts are the World Traditional Album and World Contemporary Album.

@Spoilt:Cee-Lo's "F*** You" is a massive hit and is still breaking grounds all over the world,its nominated for "SOTY,ROTY,Best Alternative Perfomance and Best Short form music Video. The song deserves the nods.

at least, the old war horse Sade Adu is still representing. she's been nominated twice

Abeg na wetin this Eminem sef de sing wey make him a grammy material? Make una no vex o, I jus no feel that bobo at all at all. Na waa for music awards.

@Instictg: Hilarious and Funny! Why call her an old war horse? Its a good thing though,she's back on her misical feet,she might possibly win one,thats if the competition isnt much. But I know she's up against GaGa and Beyonce for Best Pop Collaboration.
We Just have to wait till February 13,to arrive at the final destination.

@NaijaNaWaa: My dear,you have a great point there,cause its all about choice. You might not feel him,but alot of people do. But In award shows,its not about you feel him/her or not. Its about the success of his/her work and how much impact it has made. So they give awards do Honor the whole crew involved in the making of that hit. And the Grammy Award is Music's highest Honor.
So guy,its not his fault they like him,but his fans and his work made it so.
