Kanye West Tops Grammy Noms

Thursday, December 6, 2007
By: Michael Ivey


Kanye West Whether the Chi-Town representative wins or loses, the stage is set for a dramatic Grammy night 2008 as Thursday in Los Angeles it was announced that Kanye West is nominated for eight awards.

West, who in November lost his mother to complications from plastic surgery, bests English songstress Amy Winehouse, who’s ‘Back to Black’set garnered her six noms, and his ‘Graduation’ LP is up for album of the year. Other top Grammy nominees include Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney, T-Pain, Timbaland, and West’s Universal/Def Jam label-mates Jay-Z and Rihanna.

Jay-Z’s standing as CEO/President/lead hip hop act of Def Jam Records almost guarantees that he’ll leave Staples Center victorious “even in defeat.” His female equal in corporate entertainment omnipresence, Beyonce, is up for record of the year ("Irreplaceable”) next to Rihanna's Jay-Z assisted "Umbrella" and "What Goes Around Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake.

West emerged triumphant in his soundscan battle with 50 Cent, was able to muster some self deprecating humor this fall on SNL (with co-host Lebron James) and continued touring even after his beloved mother, Prof. Donda West, passed away.

Atlantic Records artists T.I. and, Jay-Z favorite, Lupe Fiasco are also nominated for Grammies. The 2008 Grammy Awards show takes place Feb. 10 at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

.....first of all, if anybody says that american gangster was wack doesn't know hip hop and should do us all one by killing yourself..... And they don't go by ghetto standards when determining who gets a grammy... Jay does deserves a grammy for american gangster & kingdom come..... Do you really think they take into consideration what the red butt baboons think up and down your neighborhood strip.... No n*gga they don't! and lately, hip hop fans have proven to be unable to point out good hip hop out of a line up.... West is the only hip hop artist who really deserves more grammies than hov....... But hov should leave with at least two grammies.....

El da boss playa, i'm sorry the latino presence in hip hop don't get their just due, but that's no reason to ignore greatness.... And lie and say american gangster was garbage.... If you really think ag was garbage, then you should get your spic ass out of this n*gga creation called hip hop.... Because you don't know what the F*ck you talkn about....

I think kanye should get it, cause graduation was a crazy album. Late registration was much better musically to me, but graduation deserves at least two. But jay probably won't get a nod for ag till next year cause it just came out.
