10 Iconic Rappers That Have Never Won A Grammy Award by Nobody: 10:09pm On Jan 19, 2019 |
Grammy Is arguably the most prestigious music awards ceremony in the world, so why have some of rap and hip-hops most iconic names, including Tupac, Nas and Snoop Dogg, never taken home a Grammy Award? So without any further delay let's dive in... 1 Christopher Wallace A.K.A Notorious BIG Although Biggie's career was cut far too short, he released hit after hit after hit and earned four Grammy nominations, but never got that recognition in the form of a shiny Gramophone. Surely a contender for the 'special recognition' gong?

3 Trevor George Smith Jr. A.K.A Busta Rhymes Busta Rhymes missed out on taking home a Grammy award to Will Smith two years in a row! That’s gotta hurt.

4 Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. A.K.A. Snoop Dogg He has received an amazing 16 nominations and yet has never taken home the top prize - but Snoop Dogg can be proud of earnings a nomination in the unlikely 'Best Reggae Album' category for his 2013 release 'Reincarnated'. Still, he can’t be too disappointed, he has lost out to some of the best, including Dr Dre, Beyoncé and Kanye West. He holds the record for the most nomination without a win in the rap category...this one weak Me oh.. A whole Snoop Dogg

5 Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones[ His African DNA indicates he has roots in countries with high Yoruba populations Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana Nominated 13 times, his best chance probably came in 1994 for his amazing and now iconic album 'Illmatic'. Unfortunately, the Grammys didn't introduce a 'Best Rap Album' category until 1996, so his chances of claiming that gong way back when were pretty slim. 4 Likes

6 Nicki Minaj If awards for 'most talked about performance' were being handed out, Nicki no doubt would have at least six (to match the amount of actual nominations she’s had over the past couple of years). As if you needed reminding, that self-exorcism at the 2012 awards ceremondt was and will probably be one of the most ‘out there’ in the awards’ history. Cardi has just received multiple nominations for next month Grammy Award.. Let's hope she doesn't win coz if she does that means she will have one over Nicki Minaj whom she beefs with currently

7 Jayceon Terrell Taylor, A.K.A The Game. Believe it or not, The Game and Fiddy lost out to The Black Eyed Peas for the 'Best Rap Performance' award back in 2006.

8 Earl Simmons, A.K.A. DMX DMX’s omission from any nominations sparked a boycott from his pal Jay Z in 1999 - and that man knows what it takes to make award winning tunes.

9 J. Cole J. Cole might be pretty new to the scene but that hasn't stopped him scooping a stack of other awards in that short time. With the release of his highly regarded '2014 Forest Hills Drive' album, it must be his turn soon, surely? But if it were up to me this guy would win the Grammy b4 drake even dream of winning it... Please before Drake fans come for my head, it's just my opinion oh.. I so much like the guy 3 Likes

Conclusio : Grammy to some extent doesn't entirely determine how good a rapper is; some just win it by chance or luck or grace. Even most of the rappers who have won it looked or look up to these ones who haven't won for inspiration 2pac and BIG are good examples. 3 Likes |

If it must be ten in the list just include one of 50 CENT,COMMON,NELLY, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST,WU TANG,MISSY ELLIOT,EVE, LUPE FIASCO and some others I can't remember right now.

Makenno:Yeah and almost all those Grammy were won by his songs alone and not features. Kanye West may have won 21 or so but most of them are from songs which he was featured in. |
