Ranking Every Grammy Winning Rap Album From WORST to BEST

After the 2024 Grammys caused so much outrage with Killer Mike winning over Travis Scott, there is no better time to see the highs and lows of the award shows category for best rap album...

Check out DON’T MISS, the artists who made the music you hear during the video:

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.

Astroworld
Good Kid Maad City

Should Won a Grammy

[MillsMiles.]

Tyler deserved that award for Igor so much

[jeremy_chronicles]

This is my opinion, if utopia wasn't there Michael would've got the appreciation it deserved

[jaideveremy]

Eminem was right about the Grammy's

[cdothuncho]

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

[elrio]

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

[BLTZBMBR]

Graduation at thirteen is wild considering 3 other Kanye albums are above it

[LEXRAPS]

Cardi B winning a Grammy was blasphemous to music

[ntsakomphoentlendlozi]

Good kid maad city and Astroworld not winning is still one of the biggest L the grammys have made

[skelderguardian]

JID and denzel curry not even being nominated in 2023 is crazy wouldve given kendrick a challenge that year

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.

Michael is a great album. It’s only hated because it won over Utopia. No other reason. The Grammys villainized killermike.

[TheZDavi]

This video would be better if there was a list of the other nominees with each selection.

[sneakthis]

"it wasn't eminems best album so he didn't deserve the grammy"

didnt even compare it to the other nominees ??

[johnz_corpse]

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

[elconquistador]

graduation at 13 is wild legit one of the best albums ever

[k-dawgwestmore]

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.

Whenever Eminem comes this guy be like “ it is because of Eminem “ 🤓
