And all those people using Metacritic to drag Iggy and in the same breath calling her pop and Kesha-lite Metacritic categorizes "The New Classic" as "Rap, Alternative Rap, Underground Rap"
The one artist in the Best Rap Album category sure to give Azalea a run for her money is Eminem, since he's had the top-selling album of 2014. The Marshall Mathers LP 2, released on Nov. 5, 2013, has sold 2,244,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen Music.
Azalea is competing against a two multi-platinum album, three top ten hits, a #1 single and more. Her 415k selling album doesn't stand a chance when it was panned by the critics and the GP wasn't here for it.

It's pretty clear Eminem has the best chance out of all the nominees, but I wouldn't be surprised if, given the pre-meditated controversy campaign, the committee members vote to make TNC the winner out of rebellion
And it will send the Hip Hop community in uproar, they'll lose so much respect for the Grammy's. Who they choose as a winner is so political. They already got us feeling some type of way about Macklemore winning. If they want to piss people off they will.

It's just a rap/pop album. The rest of those categories are not true at all. Pls.

If you're bringing Metacritic scores to say TMMLP2 will not receive the award because it was critically panned, take a look at Azalea.
