^^^ If these are the finalists those are my picks.

None of the artists of the year really hit as hard. Drake topped the charts but eh, Dave East is the only notable one but I have to be objective and keep it honest here... I hate Gambino with a gold passion but Atlanta, the album, getting cast to play a young Lando Calrisian - he won on 3 different fronts. If I see him on the streets tho I'm still knocking him the fuck out SMMFH.

I know niggas won't give 40 no credit cuz it's the IC but his production is fuckin incredible.

None of those albums were album of the year and imo Kairi Chanel was an album and the album of the year.

I'll be making the thread next week. Those were just my nominations.
