First Baby!!
Simple pleasures for simple minds:)
Congrats to Mr. West, he deserves it.
Im so happy for Kanye!!
no smart a$$ comment from Bossip?
Seem like yall been nicer to ‘Ye since he been shoutin yall out…?
GTFO “Kingdom Come” was a ***** album. So was “Hip Hop is Dead”. The Clipse should have been nominated in this category. The grammys suck!
not to sound ignant…. but i can already see it coming… kanye winning all kinds of awards… and not being satisfied cuz ppl will make it seem like he only won due to sympathy of his lost one..
Do it ‘Ye!! We love you….
It’s a celebration, *****es!
I hope he wins ALL of them!!
I’m letting yall know now Tim mcgraw is winning that Country ish!!
@ STFU
yeah Clipse album was good but there are not commercial enough..Congrats Mr.West love ya baby bring those awards home to chi-town!
I predict he will win at least 7 of the categories he is nominated in.
oh congrats to Common for his nod for best rap album..his album was this ***** too!..if you haven’t heard it cop it now!
Kanye never disappoints.
such a loss, yo… i went to the concert in glasgow on tuesday, kanye was phenomenal, performed his heart out.
that tour was the perfect distraction. from my heart, i worry about him now that it over and he has to go back to his life without his mama. i dont know him and he dont know me, but he is in my prayers, forreals.
Good. For Kanye. He’s had a rough year.
HE DESERVES IT GO KANYE WEST! HE DID ALL THE WORK AND MADE THE MONEY AND THE FAME AMD FORTUNE BEFORE HIS MAMA P*****ED SO PLEASE LEAVE HIS LOSS OUT OF THIS!
GEORGE BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE!!!
YAAAAAAY!!!!
Please tell this man to stop wearing them Plastic man sungl*****es. They look re-damn-diculous.
Thank you, Bossip.
Question…How is Ledisi on the Best New Artist?…I have been around and this is no new artist. This artist has been around with at least one other album that I can recall for well over 10 years.
And I hope these grammy nods inspires Amy to forgo her nominated song’s lyrics and actually GO TO REHAB. Life is too short to go through it *****ed out, Amy. We wanna see you around, dear.
We still do not know what that autospy report shall reveal. I know Kanye is still dealing with things in regards to his mama, and he’s being very humble about it, yet folks accuse his confidence of being arrogance. Keep your head up, Kanye. I’m praying for Jan Adams, too, cause I suspect people are threating him……
SURE… WHY THE HELL NOT!
GOOD FOR HIM!
Go Ye, Amy, and eerbody else…
EFF Kanye.
Mad peeps on his ***** cause he lost his moms – RIP – but strictly on the music tip this man is a *****y ***** who throws tantrums when he loses awards.
EFF Kayne.
Congrats to Kanye. I love that song Champion. However, I hope Common can win for best Rap album. I think they had a few good nods. Interesting to see Rhianna up there. Good for her.
Hey Damon Jones! You see Kanye’s white teeth? You see how his gums are not big like yours? I can’t see Kanye’s man hairs on his chest, Damon! Now Kanye is an epitome of what women want! You are not! Take notes! You, Damon are arrogant, but Kanye is confident, cause it’s actually there! What’s actually there? Style! Cl*****! Love for self and love for other people! Once again, take notes, Damon. And use your brain before you say taco meat is what every woman wants, ok Bivins wannabe?
Your taco meat chest is poison….and you make women say the oppostie of “no homo”.
Sorry I like his other albums better this one was wack!, But congrats, hope he don’t bytch like usual.
ALSO he’s in good company with no talent AMY crackhoe
get em yeeeeezy! love him! he deserves every last nomination! also congrats to amy winehouse, alicia keys, ne-yo and common.
rihanna cleaned up! lmao
I let my man borrow my Graduation CD, too. He’s a fan of Kanye cause Kanye’s confidence is ALWAYS mistaken for ARROGANCE, and he feels people treat his confidence the same way. I feel people treat my confidence as arrogance, also! Why aren’t black men and women allowed to be confident? Can someone answer that question for me?
Anyway, Kanye is already twice platinum, and will go further when he collects his Grammies, cause he WILL win his Grammies.
Kanye will clean up on these awards. I love the flashing lights song.
Def. Agree with MarieDaGuru. Bossip is just nice if you shout them out.
I hope Kanye wins!
Go Kanye!!!!!!!
I wonder if he’ll perform?
Congradualtion’s Mr.West I know he’ll win best album prayers go out to him and his familey.
OH AND ***** DJ KAHLED THAT ARBA BASTERD IS MAKIN MONEY OFF OUT MUSIc SO RIP HIM A NEW ONE
dope ***** props to Kanye and hopefully common gets something to
Hmmmm no Talib Kweli…
EarDrum was the 2nd best Rap Album this year. 2nd to Kanye. People really slept on EarDrum…its way better than Common’s CD which was good. *****ody listens.
WE THE BEST! AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT TURN THE CHANNEL BECAUSE WE TAKIN OVER, ONE CITY AT A TIME, OH YEAH AND DID I SAY, WE THE BEST!!!!
He’s still a proud, *****y *****…
If his doesn’t win a Grammy, he will tear down the place
I am in love with Amy Winehouse and Rihanna I think they should both get awards love them keep
Is this a recent pic? Kanye looks well considering his tragic lost. I don’t know he he’s finding the strength man I feel for him.
Aww, good for Kanye! I’m just scared that he won’t win album of the year. He’s going up against Ms. Winehouse and it’s kinda not fair to make them box for that, since her album was awesome too. Anyways, we shall see

JAN ADAMS HATES BLACK PEOPLE
The lines in the side of your head went out of style in the early 90’s. This cat sells records to white kids and black kids from the suburbs who think they know what the hood is
Bless his heart……..leave Kanye alone….the hood can be an over rated experience….some kids never get a chance to grow up properly thanks to the hood.
The hood’ll take you under. If I had it my way, I definitely would’nt be in the hood…it sucks here.
I like Kanye, but I think his last album was better.
Here’s who I would like to win:
Album of the year: Back to Black, Amy Winehouse
Record of the year: The Pretender, Foo Fighters Song of the year: Umbrella, all the writers
Best new artist: Amy Winehouse or Ledisi
Pop Vocal Album: Back to Black, Amy Winehouse
Rap Album: Graduation, Kanye West
Rock Album: Daughtry, Daughtry
Country Album: Let it Go, Tim McGraw
Contemporary R&B Album: ?
What about you guys?
@ Trap Star
Kanye has never sold a hood image???Have you listened to his music??..I don’t see what yoy mean..but Lil’Wayne is selling the image of the hoos to white and black kids of suburbia as well has Jay..lol..but again Congrats to Ye’ and many other nominated
Maybe I came off wrong! i just hate to see kids from the suburds thinking they know real hip hop b/c they have the new Kanye CD. Based on your picture dani, you look like one of the people I am referring to. Don’t take it personal, I just tell it how it is. If you live in a cozy suburbun home keep doing your thing b/c I hope to get there one day.
well hopefully he dont’ have a hissy fit if he don’t win. they may just give him the awards cause they feel sorry for him i mean with his recent loss and also the fact that he complains everytime he loses.
r.i.p donda
If he wins all 8 will he p***** or tie Michael Jacksons record for the most Grammy’s in one year?
Give the awards to Amy Wino!
YaaaaaaaaaaaY!!! Congrats, to Ye.. hope he and common win..
Umbrella versus Irreplaceable: it’s on!
Kanye does look nice in this picture. But I do think it’s time to stop wearing the Elvis looking gl*****es.
Kanye looks so f’ing gay! (not that there is anything wrong with that)
If giving Amy Winehouse album of the year would convince her to renege on her song Rehab, and actually go, go, go, and not go back to black (which is a pseudo way of her saying heroin), then I am all for it. I hope Amy and Britney sincerely gets help.
Kanye West is so handsome.
GOOD FOR AMY WINEHOUSE WITH HER 6 NOMINATIONS!
Ok I would have loved to see Robin thicke up there. His album was dope.
SON GODDESS<
FOR REAL BRUH………….I THOUGHT MY GRAVATAR WAS ANNOYING BUT YOU ***** SITTIN ALONG SIDE YOUR NAME…UM…….DISTURBING………….LMAO……….QUIETLY WITHOUT NOONE LOOKING..CAUSE I AM ASHAMED…..(BOW HEAD BOWN).LOL
PPS………..^^^^^^^^^SHE BETTER STAY AWAY FROM MY GRAVATAR!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT WANNA BABY SIT THOSE GRAND KIDS!!!
Kanyeezy better win something because if he doesn’t he is liable to f’ somebody up in there.
Better yet maybe he should just stay home and watch it on t.v.
Best Wishes Kanye!
6am is extremely happy, Outta all those nominations, not one was for T-Pain, GucciMane, UGK, SoldierBoy, Lil Wayne, Lil Flip, Dem Franchise boys, D4L Hurricane Chris or any other *****ed up soundin’ gold mouth havin’ ignorant deep south ***** dumbing down an artform.
Love 6am
Kanye West is a great guy…But i just red a news that reported that he joined a seeking beautiful woman service seekingsugar.com months ago, then i knew he would depart with his girfriend at that time..
common had great album and kanye too!but Kanye’s ego is going to get bigger! I love both their dress sense. finaly blk hip hop men who can dress. I’m tired those big ***** fubu jeans with the heavy sneakers…*****!!!!!
@ trap Star
***** pls… just bc some one is from the burbs doesn’t mean they know less about hip hop
ps: robin Thick was dope
He looks like he has lost weight. Poor ting
Congrats Mr. West. Although i don’t agree withmost of the nominations b/c I feel some got by b/c their album wasn’t as crappy as the artist next to them but Kanye, you actually deserve it.
Much love!
Congrats Kanye!
love you Ye!
@6am
You need to get the entire list because UGK and T-Pain was nominated.
I am not big fan of T-Pain but UGK is great.
“What you know about the Texas boys”
Go get ‘em Ledisi! I love that everyone is g*****ed on Winehouse, et al. Once they see you wear it out on the show they will all know the TRUTH. The last laugh will be yours sista.
PS ARETHA personally requested Ledisi to sing at her tribute 2 days before the Grammys…
