The Best Rap Album category includes Chance The Rapper’s Coloring Book, De La Soul’s And the Anonymous Nobody, DJ Khaled’s Major Key, Drake’s Views, ScHoolboy Q’s Blank Face LP, and Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo. Which one gets your vote?
Note that Kanye West has vowed to boycott the Grammys if Frank Ocean was not nominated, and indeed, the singer is nowhere to be found on the list below. Reps for the Grammys have declared both of Ocean’s 2016 projects, Blonde and Endless (a “visual album”) ineligible because they apparently were not properly submitted for consideration.
