Frankly, LemonLegend has had longer legs than Self-Titled and I think that'll help.
Also, maybe people just forgot the significance of Self-Titled by the time award season came around. Pharrel even beat her in her "safe" category. The significance of Lemonade, however, has been reinforced by such a pervasive cultural narrative. You'd have to willfully overlook it if you wanted to vote for another album. Which I think will be hard for many people to do, especially black people.
This is what Nialler would call #BLM privilege. And it's 100% deserved in the case of this album.
