With Beyonc\u00e9 exuding her prowess once again as music\u2019s immovable force with 11 nominations, Kendrick Lamar came in just behind her, sharing the runner-up spot with Post Malone, Billie Eilish and Charli XCX with their seven nominations each.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cNot Like Us\u201d was Lamar\u2019s searing dagger against Drake in their hotly contested battle this past spring and became a cultural phenomenon when it topped the Billboard Hot 100 in June. The committee rewarded the track for its ubiquity, as it\u2019ll compete in the song and record of the year categories after reigning supreme on the rap charts for a historic 21 weeks, ousting Lil Nas X\u2019s 2019 champion \u201cOld Town Road\u201d from the all-time leaderboard. Lamar\u2019s successful coup against Drake first began when he partnered on Metro Boomin and Future\u2019s \u201cLike That\u201d last April. Similarly to \u201cNot Like Us,\u201d Lamar\u2019s strategic jabs at the 6 God on \u201cLike That\u201d marked a significant moment, kickstarting the heavyweight feud and now also securing nominations for best rap song and best rap performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWith Kendrick having a strong hold on the rap side of things, his former TDE compatriot, Doechii, is arguably the shining star in this year\u2019s nominations, earning three nominations, most notably for best new artist.\u00a0<em>Alligator Bites Never Heal\u00a0<\/em>garnered critical acclaim and established Doechii as a formidable contender in the rap scene. The most impressive feat of Doechii\u2019s inclusion at next year\u2019s ceremonies is that\u00a0<em>Alligator Bites Never Heal<\/em>\u00a0has made her the first female rapper to land in the best rap album category since Cardi B\u2019s\u00a0<em>Invasion of Privacy\u00a0<\/em>in 2020.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Doechii - NISSAN ALTIMA\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iGbeZNqklic?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn addition to Doechii\u2019s triumph, female rappers Latto, GloRilla, Rapsody and Cardi B all earned nominations this year. The speaker-rattling \u201cYeah Glo!\u201d anchored GloRilla\u2019s explosive 2024 and\u00a0earned the Memphis superstar two Grammy nominations for best rap song and best rap performance, matching Rapsody\u2019s total. Rapsody, a previous Grammy nominee with 2017\u2019s\u00a0<em>Laila\u2019s Wisdom<\/em>\u00a0and 2019\u2019s\u00a0<em>Eve<\/em>, caught the attention of the committee this year with her lyrical masterwork\u00a0<em>Please Don\u2019t Cry<\/em>. As proven in the past, Rap\u2019s affinity for storytelling and chilling candor makes her a consistent presence when Grammy season rolls around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSome notable omissions of female rappers did still stand out, particularly the absence of Sexxy Red. The St. Louis darling enjoyed a torrid run with her streak of hit singles, including \u201cGet It Sexxy\u201d and the Drake-featuring \u201cU My Everything.\u201d A best new artist look would have benefited Sexxy, who has been at the forefront of rap for the last two years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMegan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, the leaders of the female rap scene, both released new chart-topping albums \u2014 with the latter debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 228,000 album equivalent units in its opening week in 2023 \u2014 but neither are anywhere to be found in this year\u2019s nominations. For Megan, her June self-titled album is arguably the pinnacle of her career, showcasing her at her most comfortable as an MC. Though she finally found her footing there, unlike within her Grammy-nominated run in 2020, Megan didn\u2019t have a grand-slam single like \u201cSavage\u201d to give her an extra push in the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tommy Richman - MILLION DOLLAR BABY (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Zf1d8SGuxfs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tTommy Richman, one of music\u2019s brightest rookies this year with his hit \u201cMillion Dollar Baby,\u201dalso received zero nominations, despite the song\u2019s resounding success \u2014 which included a No. 2 peak on the Hot 100. Richman dealt with controversy online several months ago, when he scoffed at the notion of him making a rap song with \u201cBaby.\u201d Reports emerged shortly after Richman\u2019s tweets that his team placed \u201cBaby\u201d for consideration in the best melodic rap performance category, leaving fans bemused by the decision after his initial comments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLastly, it\u2019s important to highlight Eminem and Common\u2019s nominations, as they debunked the theory that rap is a young man\u2019s sport. The two lyrical wordsmiths will each be competing in the best rap album and best rap performance categories. Eminem made his grand return this year with his\u00a012th studio album,\u00a0<em>The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Gr\u00e2ce),\u00a0<\/em>while Common reconnected with revered producer Pete Rock for their joint album\u00a0<em>The Auditorium, Vol. 1.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/grammy-nominations-hip-hop-kendrick-lamar-1235823825\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this morning (Nov. 8), the Grammys unveiled the nominations for their 2025 awards ceremony.
