Props to them both, and they both deserve everything they win. I wish they would make a seperate category for cats like Ghost, Lupe & Freeway who weren’t platinum artists but made outstanding albums.

Kanye deserves it for “Graduation”. T-pain did his thing too.

PS: Rap album of the year if Kanye don’t get it should be “Free at Last”. Sad thing is I don’t even think Freeway will get nominated. SMH

BET awards? Get fuck out here with that bull shit, we all know these awards have been water down just like the damn Grammys. It’s a popularity contest, people vote online & on their phones,…damn! I’m not saying ‘Ye or Akon don’t deserve it,…but hell where’s Freeway, Beans, Joe Budden, Joel Ortiz, Redman,…man I can go on & on, all these cats had crack albums that the peeps voting ain’t picked up, so how is these awards legit anymore?

I ain’t checkin for this
