I doubt it.
It's nothing against Nicki, but if her and Kendrick were to release an album, both get massive acclaim, and Nicki sell more, Kendrick would probably still win because of how the Grammy voters operate.
Her best chance is to be nominated when that man hasn't released (J. Cole is also someone who shouldn't be anywhere near the list of nominees along with Nicki either).
She could be nominated along with Drake, tho. Views isn't winning in the the
album category. Chance has that in the bag.
Female rappers really haven't won against men in the Rap categories, ever.
It's good that the Grammys used to have a "Best Female Rap Solo Performance" category otherwise the girls would've been so under looked (and I'm aware that they had the category because there were 2728282 of them at the time).
I always felt like Nicki's best chance was in the other Rap categories (Rap/Sung, Rap Song, etc.). Or really her best chance is to release a politically-charged Rap album. She could spit until her life depended on it but if the substance isn't there (like the substance she showed on most of the Urban Pinkprint tracks), it's basically going to have the same chances that her other albums had.
