It's that time of the year again, Grammys time, and we're back discussing some of the biggest snubs and surprises from this year's nominees, as well as giving our annual predictions for the winners from some of the major categories. But before that we go over some of the biggest news in music like Kendrick Lamar's Oscars nomination, Juelz Santana's sentencing, Robin Thicke's $5 million "Blurred Lines" judgement, and more.
Mac Miller and XXXTentacion both were particularly expressive and daring in their musical pursuits and both passed at extremely young ages. A lot has been said about them but what did their music have to say about their lives and what can be learned from this unfortunate trend in hip-hop?

The Divine Feminine is hands down my favorite album from Mac Miller. The jazz/soul infused production is phenomenal and creates his most cohesive sound to date. He sounds right at home rapping/singing about love, distance, and intimacy. He may have made a believer out of me.
