Objavljene su nominacije za 61. dodjelu nagrade Grammy i ponovno je hip hop u fokusu, kao da ne postoji niti jedan drugi glazbeni žanr na svijetu.
Neki će se složiti da svjetska hip hop scena nikad nije bila jača, a neki će pak reći kako je razdoblje prave hip hop glazbe odavno prošlo. Kao i u slučaju rock scene. 100 ljudi, 100 ćudi. Bila je ovo godina zanimljivih hip hop izdanja, moram se složiti, ali da toliko dominiraju dodjelama nagrada ne mogu nikako vjerovati jer je bilo sjajnih izdanjima i u drugim žanrovima koji ponovno nezasluženo i nepravedno bivaju izostavljeni.
No, tu je i ona činjenica da Grammy više nije mjerilo najkvalitetnije glazbe pa ću onda ipak samo nabrojati najvažnije nominacije i završiti ovo što prije:
