20+ years, and 13 nominations later, fans are wondering what is the problem! One of the illest emcees in the hip-hop game has yet to take home a gramophone. Nas sits on the panel for VH1’s The Tanning of America and details his thoughts on being bypassed for such an honorable award. Hit the jump to check out his thoughts.
“I like that the Grammys nominated me,” said Nas. “I know the hugest platform for music is the Grammys, it matters. . . but something that huge is never gonna get it right. So it’s okay. It gives me the opportunity to wear a nice suit on a red carpet.”
It’s only because he’s no MAINSTREAM rapper. Nas is known to question a few things in his rhymes and once you put a few questionable things on the table, something such as the Grammys will overlook you. Maybe this year Nas!
