The 2015 Grammy nominees have been announced, and Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with 11 nominations related to his critically acclaimed To Pimp A Butterfly album. His nominations include Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year (“Alright”), Best Rap Album, Best Music Video (“Alright”) and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” featuring Kendrick Lamar).

Other nominees for Best Rap Album include J. Cole for 2014 Forest Hills Drive, Dr. Dre for Compton, Drake for If You’re Reading This Its Too Late, and Nicki Minaj for The Pinkprint.

Fans will recall that 2 years ago, Lamar was nominated for 7 Grammy Awards and walked away empty-handed, despite many believing his good kid, m.A.A.d city album was the album of the year, including Macklemore, who bested Lamar in the Best Rap Album category with his and Ryan Lewis’ album, The Heist. The loss set off a controversy that once again called into question the credibility of NARAS, the organization that determines Grammy winners, with respect to Rap music. Last year, however, Lamar was awarded 2 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, both for his song “i.”
