The Kendrick Lamar Awards aka Grammys 2016

[kannon]

Kendrick swept the rap categories, winning best rap song and rap performance for Alright, best rap/sung collaboration for These Walls with Bilal, Anna Wise & Thundercat, and best rap album for To Pimp A Butterfly.

D'Angelo and The Weeknd traded off R&B awards both winning two (one each for song, one each for album [R&b album/urban contemporary album])

more as they come. I'd love to see Kendrick win album of the year. We'll see. Only two rap records have ever done it before. Speakerboxx/Love Below and Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

[Certain]

wait, wasn't taylor swift's album released in 2014?

Yes, but it was released after the cycle had restarted. It's the same reason Good Kid, M.A.A.D City was eligible a year late.

[oats]

gotcha. having not listened to Taylor Swift's album, I maintain that Kendrick got robbed.

[Certain]

I listened to Taylor Swift's album. I agree with your opinion.

[Ghost1]

Man this shit got me hype. Putting 2pab back in my phone to listen to today now.

October 2014 through September 2015 releases qualify for the 2016 Grammys. It's a stupid cycle and they really should do it by calendar year, but I'm sure it's been too long to change it now.
