在各大音樂媒體年終榜近乎獨領風騷之後,Kendrick Lamar 又於 2016 葛萊美獎的提名之上傲視群雄,連同年度最佳專輯、年度最佳歌曲等,一共被提名了十一個獎項。
在去年的第 57 屆葛萊美獎,Kendrick Lamar 就先以〈i〉拿下了「Best Rap Performance (最佳饒舌演出)」與「Best Rap Song (最佳饒舌歌曲)」,而在今年的各大音樂媒體年終榜上,Kendrick Lamar以《To Pimp A Butterfly》拿下絕佳的名次,Rolling Stone、SPIN、Complex 等權威媒體皆給予年度最佳專輯的極高評價。
除了 Kendrick Lamar 之外,小天后 Taylor Swift 以及 The Weeknd 皆被提名了七個獎項。上半年度的銷售之王 Drake 聲勢不如預期,只被提名了四個獎項。而由於每年的葛萊美都是從前一年的 10 月 1 日統計至當年的 9 月 30 日,因此,Adele 的《25》可能得等到 2017 年的葛萊美獎了。
第 58 屆葛萊美獎,將會在 2016 年 2 月 15 日,於加州洛杉磯知名的「Staple Center」舉行,完整提名名單如下:
