The only category I see that has any real competition is Best New Artist and Best Collabo, and how come Umbrella wasn't nominated? They put Best Female Hip-Hop artist category back? Did Day 26 really get nominated for Best Group? With one single? Damn talent was very shot in the music industry for black folks this year. SMH... so many questions so little time
