Macklemore is the only rapper who's career suffered and swan dived into hell from winning a Grammy. He even admitted Kendrick should have won that trophy and he didn't deserve it.
Ironically him getting a Grammy was the actual biggest heist
No he didn’t suffer cause he won, he suffered because he didn’t know how to just take the award and move on, he apologized to Kendrick and made himself look like a bitch and people pleaser, didn’t feel genuine and was just to try and “save face” when if he would have just delt with the heat and stood behind his work regardless if he believed it should have won or not, he’d probably still have respect
@@sethforesi307 yeah soon as he apologized, the writing was on the wall for his career as it should have been.
i think releasing the text he sent to kendrick after winning to the public was what killed his hype and made people lose respect for him tbh
@sethforesi307 I'm sorry but unless I'm Jesus, I'm admitting kendrick should have won. It's seen as one of the best albums of all time
Astroworld
Good Kid Maad City
Should Won a Grammy
Should have
utopia too
Definitely
Maybe Astro
Gkmc not necessarily, yeezus and nothing was the same deserved it just as much
@@leandroportillo1234 Yeezus over a pure album like GKMC? LMAO
Tyler deserved that award for Igor so much
I agree, but it wasn't a rap album. Tyler even criticized the Grammys of being racist because he made more of a Hip Hop/R&B album but it still got put in the Rap category.
Yeah, but not for rap album
@@diogocordeirohalfeldclark926 true
@@OreoSmithOfficialhe said he thought of it as more of pop too
Didn't he win a Grammy for Igor
Eminem was right about the Grammy's
The Grammys ain’t shit, they only care about popularity instead of talent f them people
Nice 69 likes😂🎉
He hasn't put out a good album after 2003 he's just salty
@@saqib7965Have you not heard Kamikaze or Music To Be Murdered By? I'm FORGETTING NAMES right now but Em has released some good stuff since '03. You're probably deaf.
@@iloveprowrestlingyou’re a meat rider. Go on any rating site where critics or other users rate albums and i primise none of the albums you named are over a 5/10 on there. And they have tens of thousands of user ratings. So yes, you’re definitely the meat rider. Listen to other good rappers and other genres to actually get a fair scale of calling things good
Graduation at thirteen is wild considering 3 other Kanye albums are above it
graduaation isnt top 5 kanye
@@YeezyFan3128not suprised that take is coming from soemone called yezzy fan lmafooo

Graduation is def a 4th best album if u think abt it
is graduation better than MBDTF? hell no
late registration? nope
college dropout? nope
@@Ballsackgamin its my third fav behind mbdtf and yeezus
This is my opinion, if utopia wasn't there Michael would've got the appreciation it deserved
Nah people would be mad metro didn't win instead
If Michael wasn’t there Travis would’ve finally won a Grammy
Michael deserved each win he got; when has Travis EVER spoken about social issues?
I'll wait...🤷
@@LoLifeIsForever-hl2nmwhen has killer mike ever talked about partying, production, actually having fun in life? bro. They are 2 completely different artists, that was the stupidest point i have ever heard 💀
@@juck.: Allow me to agree to disagree; Mike got a Grammy back in the day for "The Whole World", a song he was featured on with OutKast, which made people think as well as shake their a$$3$, which Travis (Ye's protege hasn't done to date)... Travis is to Drake what Mike is to Mos Def...I listen to all types of genres; you're NOT talking to a cookie cutter critic, young'n...
Cardi B winning a Grammy was blasphemous to music
This might be controversial but I think invasion of privacy is the best album made by a trash artist.
@boda5934 Nah that's Chance the rapper's coloring book
Especially since it was up against good albums 😭😭
I was waiting for the miseducation of Lauryn Hill but then I searched and realized she won ALBUM OF THE YEAR??!? That makes that album even more major wtf I love her
The first ever artist to win aoty with a rap album
Yes I was waiting too lol that explains it.
That album was majority R&B anyways
@@bmslhsIgor is also neo soul and still won
Lauryn Hill is so cool. I love the modern rap acts like Post Malone, Drake etc but I will always have respect for her. What an absolute banger of an album
JID and denzel curry not even being nominated in 2023 is crazy wouldve given kendrick a challenge that year
and the fact that DJ Khaled got nominated instead of them😭
@whatthehellisthis I know could've easily taken out jack Harlow too
I'll continue to argue that Forever Story was better than MM&TBS to this day
The Forever Story is such a great album. Genuine robbery bruh
@@yvngxsensaiI’m with you and I love Kendrick
to pimp butterfly was astonishing to listen for first time if this is winner of grammys same should be given to good kid maad city easily near same level if not better
Get rid of that better part and I agree with this comment, respect your opinion though
I like good kid over tpab too I agree
GKMC is better that TPAB imo
TPAB is better than GKMC but i enjoy more GKMC
Beats are way better in good kid maad city. J. Cole summed his discography up perfectly
Your criteria is all over the place. Are these albums being compared to other nominees (Macklemore)? Judged on how well they aged (Jay Z)? Or as part of the artists' total catalogue (Eminem)? None of these are legitimate. In the case of other nominees, there are weaker years than others; in terms of aging, it's too soon to have any perspective on the most recent winners; and concerning an artist's total output, there's no consistent measure. Or, rather, you're mixing measures.
exactly he’s definitely young once he said travis scott album was better than killa mike album it all made sense
Someone's mad
I don’t like Eminem, but the “we all know why he won 🙄😏” over and over again was super lame and shallow
yes
@@daquonsimpson1354 Travis Scot album was good and pretty experimental, now he is not as lyrical as Killer Mike, but I understand his opinion.
Good kid maad city and Astroworld not winning is still one of the biggest L the grammys have made
Add 2014 Forest Hills Drive to this and we're good.
@@kylecrowley8675you realise 2014 had to go up against tpab
Astroworld deserves it less than Daytona or Swimming.
@@TitanCrusher101you must be on drugs
@@TitanCrusher101 W take
Michael is a great album. It’s only hated because it won over Utopia. No other reason. The Grammys villainized killermike.
Both albums were great contenders for the award. Mike gives you something to think about and Travis gives you an experience only he can conjure up. Grammys did this because people generate more buzz about someone who’s not in the limelight beating someone who’s been fighting for an award for years. If Travis was in the position of Mike and Mike was in Travis’s position it would’ve been the same situation of the lesser known winning and becoming the villain.
@@NachoLibreGOAT bingo
@@NachoLibreGOATin my opinion Micheal was just better than utopia
Utopia was better though
@@kyle-cl1by that’s what my point was. There are people that enjoy a certain sound/ structure more than the latter. It’s and undeniable fact that many enjoyed another experience delivered by Travis Scott cause his album showed him confronting and dealing with a lot of criticism rightfully given to him. However, Michael brought it back to a more basic rap form that isn’t all that creative but is made spectacular because it still feels relevant in the current sound of hip hop and rap. There’s no right or wrong answer their is opinions. The only fact is Travis and Michael both deserve Grammys but neither of them should’ve gotten it for Utopia or Michael since they have better works.
"it wasn't eminems best album so he didn't deserve the grammy"
didnt even compare it to the other nominees ??
This
I don’t like how the video just completely ignores the nominees to show perspective as to what that was up against

@@thgenerous1isthestrongeststant this is rap album grammy winners bud
What’s crazy was commercially Astro world did leagues better than invasion of privacy if were just looking at it commercially and financially astroworld was the biggest thing at the time
Yeah, Invasion is surely tied for the biggest Grammy blunder along with Macklemore over GKMC. Substance wise, Macklemore was wayyyy better than Invasion. The ONLY thing I personally liked about Invasion was that it was actually better than I thought it would be but, other than that, it definitely didn't deserve Grammy win for best rap album because it was not even cohesive enough of an album to be in the category.
both were huge, both have at least 1 diamond single
@@pan6529 I think you misinterpret what I’m saying I agree invasion of privacy was huge but astroworld was the hugest of that year and for the following year after that as well it was beyond invasion of privacy and nobody can deny it I didn’t see them make a documentary on cardi B after that album dropped but they did with Travis after astroworld

Naaaaaah graduation at 13 is wild legit one of the best albums ever
yah but the other albums above it are also insane, and honestly the fact that late registration is higher than college dropout is worse.

Great album. They don't like 50
Bruh Tha Carter 2 didn't even get nominated lmao Grammy is wild
its a horrible, album. its a cash grab and has cheap production rapping, and theres no message. extremely overrated and mediocre album.@@Nathan.007
Lesser known TPAB fact:
At one point on the song, Kendrick Lamar makes a reference to the fellow rapper Lecrae who he was friends with at the time by saying:
“Tell the world I know it’s too late, boys and girls all think I’ve gon’ cray”
Crae can be short for crazy but is also a nickname of Lecrae’s and Tell The World was one of his biggest songs at the time.
So while on the surface Kendrick is saying that people think he’s gone crazy, he’s also referencing people who think he’s gone Christian, since he opened and closed his last album good kid, maad city with an interlude reenacting him coming to Christ through a version of the sinner’s prayer.
Really don’t see why anyone has anything negative to say about Kendrick when they can just simply admit that they just don’t listen and their opinions don’t matter 😂
@@uglysegura9616 real
@@uglysegura9616this is so true. “TPAB sucks” okay you didn’t like Wesley’s Theory I get it. The best thing is watching people change their opinions a year later lol
@@dylank.8857 best feeling in the world 😂 wasted all that time, when all you had to do was just listen
@@dylank.8857My opinion changed a year later over TPAB. I tried to listen to it a few times because I really enjoyed King Kunta but I just couldn’t get past Wesley’s Theory. I heard a lot of great things about the album though so I never talked bad about it but a few weeks ago I decided to listen to it again and it’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I don’t know why, I guess it’s just one of those albums that have to “click” for you to get it. But once it clicks it’s truly an amazing experience.
Eminem’s recovery was deserving. Album is so slept on
Fr most “rap fans” either listen to his first 3 albums and then just have the same NPC opinion about his other albums
@@Pugzzy Album with the most clarity, actual good songs. Anthems, Ballads, straight rap. Bro wasn’t on all that extra slim shady shit bro was just a polished sober rapper tapping into his talent with a clear mind.
Of his discography, it's the only one I listen to.
@@Nathan.007 amen brother don’t get me wrong I like the other Eminem albums more so the older ones than the new ones but recovery to this day still gets plays

Great video Mr. F, I don’t entirely agree with the exact rankings, but the way you tiered this list is correct.
"Call me if you get lost" is my favorite rap album of this decade its so dam good
Thank you for this video
This was an amazing and fun ride. Great video bro.
I said it in 2019 and I will say it now. Mac Miller deserved his moment more then anyone else but they gave it to Cardi to break gender barriers.
Yo this video is sick bruh
Brian the dog from family guy! What are you doing here?
TPAB really does deserve #1. I just finished the album(I know, I'm late, deal with it) and it's absolutely phenomenal. Every part of it is amazing.
You ought to make a list for the best albums that were robbed from winning Best Rap Album. (I'd love to see Good Kid MAAD City on there. And Astroworld. And I love Michael, and I adore Killer Mike, so no disrespect to that album - but Utopia would be a good choice too.) This is a fantastic list!
This was a great video
Thanks 🫡🫡
Why didn’t you show all of the nominations for each of the years?
Because he wanted to be bias and only talk about his Opinion and not the facts!
That’s not what the vid is about, but it would be a good topic to go at.
@@djmontecarlotv it's literally ranking songs, there is no definitive "facts". literally the only things here are opinions
Agree w your list almost 100%. Good work.
Great list…I couldn’t agree more with the choices and the crtique
Release Therapy was really dope. A few misses but I ain’t mad at it.
I am lol. King way better
Seems like he got that album mixed up with Chicken and Beer by his assessment
I don’t like how you didn’t mention nipseys victory lap when mentioning the other 2018 albums
facts
Yeah it was most definitely better than Astroworld imo
@@badmeetsevil6163 big facts ppl that actually listen to it knows that’s the truth then u got the Travis Scott fans who be lying out they ass saying listened to the albums when they never did the killer Mike win few days ago proved that
Y’all can’t just say that album was good without hating on Travis tf.
Like Daytona and Swimming were also good nominees everyone got snubbed
@@OnDaLowWidIt no because I think Swimming and Daytona were arguably as good or better than Victory Lap. I think Victory Lap is better than Astroworld. We are not hating, you’re just being a stan.
Not mad at any of these pics, great list. And PLEASE make a video on to pimp a butterfly
The college dropout is a game changer for the industry, it brought new spirit for hiphop with songs like slow jamz, breath in breath out and through the wire, who tells you a lot about kanye as a person and how he wanted to just make pure music.
Should’ve been at least top 3 but for me it’s number 1
The Heist was an awfully fitting name for the Macklemore album I guess….
Drunk & Hot Girls hate is so played out and at this point I genuinely believe people are just hating on it because they’re told to

Worst ranking on this entire list, that album is arguably Eminem's best
Ngl mr morale over damn is kinda crazy, but it’s respectable
also love that late registration is above the other 2 in the trilogy
Yeah a hot take for sure
Hot take: damn is Kendrick’s worst album
@@Count__Skillzy well damn.
Even though Igor won it still feels so underrated and I don’t know why
Its not. Every single Tyler fan loves it. Your not special for liking IGOR
@@Sayia0404 he didn't say the tyler fans, it's not as celebrated compared to other rap albums in that sense, though admittedly it's cultural impact is massive
This list is great guy. Top 5 is valid
I think Record Academy is trying to improve its image by winning categories past world records such as the first female singer to win the best rap album, the most Grammy winners of all time, the most winners of the best album of all time even though the quality is below that of the other nominees. This is inseparable from the decline in the quality of the jury and indications of corruption in recent years when popular and good songs that dominated that year were not included in the category.
My man hates Eminem
Jay-Z's hard knock life tour with DMX is why it's rated so high, all that shit was legendary.
You ever see the story Jayz told about DMX on the shop? Insane
@@justinjoestar1902 Haven't, I will check it out though.
Good stuff
the marshall mathers lp took the world by storm back then. it really was everywhere
idk how many times bro said dont get me wrong
Relapse was fantastic
But I respect your take
Tripping Release Therapy was worth it
Before I watch this, that night that good kid didn’t win still breaks my heart to this day…
Putting graduation at 13 is crazy😭😭
That’s what I’m saying
I mean its a great album the issue is that everything over 13 deserves to be in the top ten. every album from 13 down are phenomenal and some of my personal favorites as well
I mean not really, it’s great but are you really gonna say it’s on par with Igor, mbdtf and tpab. Like cmon, graduation is a great album but it’s not that artistic or consistent ad its sound overall hasnt aged the best.
@@Prodbyjah464 mbdtf and tpab I agree but, graduation is Kanye's 2nd best album IMO, definitely better than late registration and college dropout
@@ntanimates9523 yeah imo and tbh most peoples opinion in general, I disagree. Call me crazy but it wouldn’t even be in my top 5.
Honestly I feel like Invasion of Privacy had more good songs than The Heist but other than that the list is really solid
Plus her competition was weaker, and it was surprisingly a really good album.
@leonzaduncan2438 It's mid, and the heist had bigger hits, which is why he put it over IOP.
Every evaluation of Eminem's albums on here were so detailed and well thought out!!!
next you should rank the worst to best grammy snubs
I had to turn the video off when you put Michael above Slim Shady LP
Mr Morale and the big steppers was amazing! This album was slept on but is low key a classic!
But Damn is so much better
@@hammerhead5979 It's all preference. Damn was more commercial in my opinion. Mr Morale is not for everyone. I honestly listen to Mr Morale more.
But how can it be higher than carter 3, Eminem show, mmlp and graduation ?
@@buhlovo5683 it's all personal preference. I'm not an Eminem fan. I like some Eminem songs, but I've never listened to an entire album of his. I went back and listened to Carter 3 and lyrically it was all over the place. I was just a kid at the time and enjoyed it.
When late registration first dropped I thought it was mediocre but over the years and growing up it has become one of my favorites
Awesome video man. May i ask where you get all the clips for your videos
Never let bro cook again 💀💀💀
Invasion of Privacy is so overhated
The fact that 3 of kendricks 5 albums won a grammy for best rap album and my favourite still lost to fucking macklemore is absolutly insane
the Heist was no bad record by any means, but it had no business winning over GKMC.
“I love hip hop Wyclef Gene is amazing”
Cause he is
I mean... 100% agreed that The Heist shouldn't have won the Grammy for best Rap Album, but I honestly think it's a great album with little to no skips.
Yeah dude was hating on it wayyyyyyy too much
DAMN by Kendrick also has 2 stories , 1 being Kendrick's path to salvation by weakness (fearing god) if you listen in the normal way from BLOOD. to DUCKWORTH. and if you listen the other way around it is his path to damnation (from fearing god , and believing in him to commiting sins and at the end , before dying, trying to redeem himself , but god has no mercy)
The Heist winning over good kid mad city infuriates me till this day
relapse marker an era
How is the eminem show so low?
For real at least top 10 if not Top 5. And MMLP has to be Top 1 for real
because this guys a hater & probably 17 years old.
you shouldve showed the nominations for each year and also who you thought shouldve won (regardless of the nominees)
I think even though it is a Best Album Grammy they focus on the hit more than the album as a whole
I think this is why albums like the heist could win
Big hits matter but they definitely look at the whole album. It's not only about the star,it's everyone behind it too
Grammy's took a L giving Taylor swift aotys she's just cringe only award she should win is at the billboards and thanks to her brainless fans
he’s going thru rap albums what’s this have to do with taylor ?
@@eman3733idc that much about taylor but he’s talking about her because tpab lost aoty to 1989, but yeah, I agree that 1989 didn’t deserve that win
Waiting for that eminem x travis scott grammy diss track 🙏
How did lupe fiasco F&L lose to release therapy? It's one of my favourite and definetely lupe fiasco's best album
Where would you rank GKMC if it won over Macklemore?
The roots made BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY A GAME THEORY thanks for watching 😃
Me personally I love CMIYGL but i don’t think its better than graduation yet the production is crazy kanye is always ahead of his time
It’s close but yeah Graduation better
idk, its really close, but graduation does have some misses, and they are pretty bad, however cmiygl has honestly none, its genuinely great.
The heist isn’t actually a bad album. I’m not saying it should have won but people are two caught up in comparing it to yeezus and gkmc. Listen to it without them and the whole Grammy incident in mind and it’s not actually a bad album.
Cool video
The Mr. Morale placement here is nuts. Over Marshall Mathers LP, Tha Carter 3, & Speakerboxxx??? Bros crazy
Mr Morale is a masterpiece, I agree with him.
Mr morale hits so much harder if you can identify with some of the issues in the album. The one song where he just arguing with his girl legitimately made me break down, since I grew up with my parents fighting nonstop. So many dinners they’d start fighting, and little old me had to take my food and my little sister and run upstairs, and try to block it out and eat my food.
The forever story > Mr morale
Late registration getting the love that it deserves is nice
Idk what relapse was up against but it’s in my top 3 Eminem albums so I personally think it deserved the Grammy. However as polarizing as it is I would’ve expected the Grammys to give the award to a different album
What happened to Mama Said Knock You Out and Mr. Smith?
Rap album of the year started in 1995
Relapse is absolutely great
Okay I would switch your top 5 a little. Mine would be #5 MBDTF
#4 IGOR
#3 Stankonia
#2 TPAB
#1 Late Registration
TCD is basically confidence in a album
i wish the grammys could just make a Voting booth so people could vote the best rap album and the person who got the most votes gets the grammy
that could make sense
For the public you mean? Not sure if that'll work, cause then it would be a popularity contest. Basically, the artist that's nominated with the biggest fan base would win in my opinion.
Then it’ll be a popularity contest
Drake would have a lot of Grammies he doesn’t deserve with that logic 😂. Not saying he doesn’t have good albums, he does. I’m actually a Drake fan
No thanks kid popularity contest doesn't mean your putting out quality works of art.
@@malcolmtanhamira5145 take care and NWTS we're good albums the others are kinda meh but each to their own
Thank God To Pimp a Butterfly was #1. That’s all I needed to respect your opinions
Mb somehow stop meatriding? Nope?
Swimming deserved more recognition not just because it was posthumous, but it was actually an entire emotional rollercoaster in an album.
What other albums did recovery go up against?
Relapse totally deserved a Grammy, that's his 3rd best album
Hell no
Hell yeah
I am a Kendrick fan first always have been so don’t twist my words, but the hate towards the heist is actually inSANE like it definitely didn’t deserve raoty but to say it wasn’t at least a decent album? Come on man there are songs on there that are actually fucking awesome, I understand why y’all mad cause I was and still am mad that gkmc got cucked but put a little respect on that album shit definitely has some gems in it
Same for me, The Heist was a classic for me when I was growing up. gkmd was ofc better and should’ve won but compared to the other albums nominated that year, I prefer it going to the heist then Yeezus
The Heist is incredible also This unruly mess I've made
People hate the artist and have only listened to a couple of his songs, and they all happen to be the annoying popular ones. Fact of life.
The fact that mbtdf wasnt mentioned is crazy
The College Dropout should have been #2 on this list, also Flower Boy not winning a grammy is a crime against humanity, I absolutely adore DAMN. but Flower Boy is my all time #2 favorite behind only TPAB and The College Dropout
