Rappers like Megan Thee Stallion, Rapsody, Nicki Minaj, and Rico Nasty were shut out of all the rap categories
— two artists that for all intents and purposes are rappers, but tend to shed that distinction when it suits their needs — lead the nominations this year, but both placed their bets in other genres.
“Panini” is Lil Nas X’s sole rap nomination, while “Old Town Road” is competing in Best Pop Duo/Group Performance . Similarly, Lizzo has nominations spread out in Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Performance, Best Urban Contemporary Album, and Best Pop Solo Performance, even though she demanded to be part of the hip-hop conversation in August.
While this year’s nominations seem cognizant of a need for the Grammys to diversify its awards slate, nominating the rappers listed above wouldn’t have been an empty nod to inclusion, but a reflection of what’s going on in rap today. 2019 was a breakthrough year for a number of new and talented stars, but expecting the Grammys to ever hit the mark is an eternal lesson in disappointment.
