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...

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.

[@PusherQRXT]

Ironically him getting a Grammy was the actual biggest heist

[@sethforesi307]

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

[@keejay12]

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

[@NachoLibreGOAT]

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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

[@Historicutuber]

It’s close but yeah Graduation better

[@ghazikhan7478]

Relapse totally deserved a Grammy, that's his 3rd best album

[@Historicutuber]

Hell no

[@4rl0ng]

Hell yeah

[@OGbobbyKUSH]

What other albums did recovery go up against?

[@williamk2803]

Macklemore wasn’t actually a bad album , it was just so far away from traditional hip hop, while Kendrick’s album was generationally Iconic , in a time where mainstream had gotten super lazy and commercial, Kendrick proved hip hop was very much alive , and then he got snubbed for a white washed metrosexual guy from Seattle or something rapping about Gay love and basically re-doing a Lorde song , like the opposite of true hip hop. It wasn’t a bad album but the complete smack in the face to the entire genre , people took it all out on him. I kind of feel bad cause he didn’t ask for it to go down like that , I blame the Grammys , not so much him. The biggest snub ever besides Illmatic , but Illmatic mainstream didn’t know what they just witnessed until years later , the minute Kendrick dropped that album you knew it was best album of the entire decade the second you first heard it.

The forever story > Mr morale

[@fantasythinkerfan]

The Mr. Morale placement here is nuts. Over Marshall Mathers LP, Tha Carter 3, & Speakerboxxx??? Bros crazy

[@user-ex1yk6ky5o]

Mr Morale is a masterpiece, I agree with him.

[@justinjoestar1902]

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.

[@jaredpeterson9459]

Invasion of Privacy isn’t last place of this list bad, but it’s probably the worst in the context of what it lost to. There are some fun songs on there, but the project as a whole is just like a 4-5/10

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

[@otisedwards8827]

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.

[@dwaynejpeterkin]

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
