I'm gunnin' for 50, but you and I both know the Grammy's HATE him. Dude gets noooo love and he had one of the greatest selling albums of all time. Even with Tip's legal woes, they probably will pass over him too. Grammy's ain't even worth watching. Not since Em rocked the "Free Yayo" shirt, they hate rap (not endorsed by Politicians). That said, Common will get the nod.
