2010 Grammy Nominations...With A Few Surprises
There were a few surprises, a few misses (as always) and a few snubs when this year's Grammy nominations were revealed last night. Here's a few observations, in my humble opinion, before we get into a few of the categories. First of all, a congratulations is in order to Toronto rapper Drake who is up for two Grammy Awards off a mixtape. And, another congrats to Toronto talent Melanie Fiona, who also nabbed a nom. These two are examples of wonderful surprises. Now, for the not-so-wonderful one. The song I'm On A Boat is up for Best Rap/Sung Collabo. Yes, I'm talking about the Saturday Night Live spoof featuring T-Pain. What state is rap in, or how disconnected are the people who choose these nominations that this song made it into the list. What makes it even worse is an epic snub that saw Lil Wayne receive no nominations. Please keep in mind that Lil Wayne sold more than a million records in his first week of his last release, topped the Billboard Hot 100 with Lollipop, has his album certified double platinum since its release. Now, I know he won Grammies last year, but Lil Wayne continued his success into this year. Anyways, enough of me blabbing, on with the nominees.
