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.

I love Eminem (no homo), the guy is just over-good.

I agree with you some of those artists were just unlucky.

the topic is about best rap album not just about best rap song the artists you mentioned hasn't won best rap album except Eminem

OK you should also note that the rappers on the list have not won any Grammy be it best rap album or best rap song.

mod.oh my bad its about any Grammy award.Missy and Nelly in has won it and yea 50 has won too.you are right thought you were talking about best rap album
The list is about rappers who have won it with their songs alone not features..

If it's about features almost every artiste in America will have won it.

Bro Eminem is good na..

He's even considered to be the greatest rapper of all time by many magazines and publications...

The best selling rapper of the 20 century.

Almost all of Eminem album has received a Grammy nomination..

The only rapper to have won best selling album of the year in the whole on two occasions (Marshall Mathers LP 1999 and recovery 2010)



White Audience helps Eminem with those sales. African Americans are just 11percent of USA population. So Eminem obviously have the edge.

No denying that fact, hip pop is for blacks, but Eminem got his recognition because he is exceptional, he better than some black rappers I know.


I don't think Macklemore will ever sell what Eminem has sold.

Exactly my point..

Like he said in one of his songs ''GOAT''isn't ironic man the best rapper white the best golfer black

Tiger Woods being the best golfer then which is very ironic for a black man to b the best in golfer..

And for a white man to have made so much name for himself in a game that's dominantly a black man culture.

My Earnest issue with White America(Controls d Grammys obviously) is this , Black rappers talk about guns, weed, bitches and you will never give them a Grammy because they feel it would corrupt the populace, but A rapper Luke Eminem talks all round sicko stuffs , like killing his mom , dogs, choking people etc and they go ahead and dish out Grammys to him. I just don't understand the double standard America shows Everytime .

I'm not sure if the Grammy is white controlled, it does not use public vote, MJ won 8 grammys in one night.
The Grammy is a peer-to-peer award, just look up who votes.


M&M lyrics are all criticised all the time

Parents don't let their children listen to him song unless they are censored.

Feminist criticize his lyrics but ladies still love him

Homosexuals attack him for his homophobic lyrics yet he still has a lot fan all over USA

He was criticised for taking shots at MJ that everyone loved that did not ruin his career.

and many more.

*quoting his lyrics in renegade*

Usin' his music to steer it, sharin' his views and his merits?/
But there's a huge interference/
They're sayin' you shouldn't hear it/
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit/
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish/
But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America/
As a motherfuckin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment? /


he is arguably the most controversial rapper.

Cardi B is slated to perform @ the Grammy, I think that automatically equates to being given an award if you are performing that night. Can't be too sure though.

Anyways the industry seems to be behind Cardi, she's a fresh face with a lot of competition in her. Nicki's being quietly pushed aside.

All those rappers deserve atleast a Grammy, but the Grammy doesn't use public vote, they have members who vote.

The Recording Academy's voting membership is comprised solely of music creators, including artists, engineers, producers and songwriters. Voting Members are automatically qualified to vote online during each of the two balloting periods.

When I flow for the streets,who else could it be? N.A.S nas nas nas...... cool
Earth wind and fire
Rims n tires
bullet proof glasses, inside is the realest driver
Planets and orbits

Taorat cards you can see the Pharaoh Nas.... cool
Iron Mike Messiah type
Before d Christ n after the death
I'm the last one left
Let my cash invest in stocks
Went from Seiko to Rolex
From the Project with no dough
To a large cake dough.....
Those are the lyrics of Nas,and you expect him to win a Grammy,how?
Grammy is owned and controlled by whites,with over 80% of the total votes by whites. If you music doesn't appeal to them,forget it. It will be hard to sell platinum,talkless of winning Grammy. Blacks rarely buy albums,it's the white who do.

"Nas is like" half man half amazing! grin

My fav verse from that track"

""Nas is like…" Sex to a nympho, but nothing sweet
I'm like beef, busting heat through your windows
I'm like a street sweeper, green leaf breather
Like Greeks in Egypt, learning something deep from they teachers
I'm like crime, like your 9, your man you would die for
Always got you, I’m like pop dukes you would cry for
I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money
Corporate accounts from a rich company
I'm like ecstasy for ladies, I'm like all races
Combined in one man; like the '99 Summer Jam
Bulletproof Hummer man
I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of 'em fam
I'm the feeling of a millionaire spending a hundred grand
I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet
Live it and I write down and I watch it blow up
Y'all know what I'm like, y'all play it your system every night, now…"

Dam! Hear the knowledge this guy spits and one will ponder why he has never won a Grammy!

Fork the whites! They know what they do.

Who is the best PAC Nas and Biggie? Ain't no best!!!!

Revenge is the best medicine
Increase the dose, from least to most
And then tell the Grammys to go and Bleep themselves
They suck the blood from all the biggest artists like some leeches
So they nominate 'em, get 'em there, get a name to MC the show
Every parasite needs a host (haha)
Then give Album of the Year to somebody that no one's ever even heard of
All I know is I wrote every single word to
Everything I ever murdered
Time to separate the sheep from goats (yeah)
And I got no faith in your writers, I don't believe in ghosts
When rap needed it most, I was that wing and a prayer

Taken from Fall by Eminem
