Forget the pop acts for a second—look at the heavyweight matchups we are getting in 2026:

Best Group: Clipse vs. De La Soul vs. Nas & Preemo

Video Director: Hype vs. Benny Boom vs. Director X

Pusha and No Malice also pulled a legit Album of the Year nomination for Let God Sort Em Out, and T.I. is in the mix for Best Male Hip Hop Artist. Seeing the guys who visually and sonically built the culture going head-to-head for the top hardware in 2026 is wild.

If you had a vote today: who takes Best Group?

Amazing weekend for Pac fans! E.D.I. Mean accepted the Hall of Fame honors for the album out in LA. Back in Baltimore, they renamed the street near his childhood home, and his sister Set threw out the first pitch for his bobblehead night at the Orioles game. "California Love" even played in the stadium.

Rapper Kodak Black was just booked into Orange County jail on MDMA trafficking charges. How did the cops build the case? During a search of a car back in 2025, police found a bag containing illegal prescription syrup... and Kodak's personal ID card was sitting right next to it in the exact same bag. His lawyer is currently trying to argue that while his prints might be on the bottle, he just touched it and didn't actually "possess" it.
