Yep, Tyler’s IGOR could get a Scorpion treatment as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised. I don’t get why so many are predicting it for a Rap Album win, let alone general field nominations. Sure it’s acclaimed, but Tyler hasn’t kept the momentum going… at all.

I keep going back and forth about Summer Walker and Ari Lennox.

Summer had a record-breaking streaming week and big first week sales at the right time. Along with a bunch of high-profile collabs.

Ari had a quieter debut but has gained fans/momentum throughout the year. She opened for Lizzo on tour. She is funny and enjoyable online, and performed at Black Girls Rock. She also has Dreamville behind her.

I wish they could both make it but BNA seems too crowded for multiple R&B noms.

Does anyone know anything about Young Thug and James Blake submissions?

We don’t have them yet. Hopefully someone asks NatalieNicole about them, YBN Cordae, 21 Savage, Schoolboy Q, and Mustard.

As a whole, rap was super neglected when collecting submission info because no one is expecting much in the general categories. But I’m still really curious about it.

Edit: Oops too late now. I guess we’ll just have to wait.

I added Tanya Tucker to my general field predictions. An icon in her own right, and it doesn’t hurt to have Brandi Carlile as the producer of her comeback album. Plus, she’s campaigning and “Bring My Flowers Now” is a beautiful song.

Chart performance.

TUN is a bigger lock in Song, than 7 Rings is in Record. Between Ariana/Billie/Lizzo, I’m only comfortable predicting Billie for all three (or really, four) of the general categories.

With an expected 100k+ debut for her new album, I’m officially adding Summer Walker to my BNA prediction. I don’t remember who asked yesterday but yeah… hopefully she and Ari both make it.

False God was a great choice for campaigning and showing a different side of her. As a non-fan, I appreciated it.

Back on topic…

Is the buzz of Summer Walker’s new album enough to put her in BNA?

I guess it depends on how many R&B girls you expect to make it. I’m betting on Ari Lennox, but I’d love to see them both get nominated.

OTR is one of the most dominant hits of all time, and reached every possible demographic. Its place in ROTY is well-earned
