Y'all do know the Roots have a Grammy already, right? 1999 they won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "You Got Me." It's not like being recognized is some sort of big breakthrough for them. They've been nominated three times before and have won one.

It'd be nice to see them get Best Rap Album, though. I've never really been one to care whether or not the musicians I listen to get recognized, but The Roots have been working at it for so long and make such good music they deserve the award more than anyone else. I don't think any of the other albums mentioned, including Lupe, even come close to Game "Therapy."

BTW, Mos got a nomination as well for Best Rap Solo Performance. Surprised nobody's mentioned that.
