Kanye, "Heartless" are winning. I think that's why everyone is releasing it after the eligebility day

What about yours?

Off topic: does Gucci Mane has an album out yet because he got a lot of buzz at the moment in the urban market much like Drake.

What category do you think he has a strong shot at getting nominated in?

^^ I'm sure he'll be nominated for "Break Up" in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Category.

I have a feeling that "Forever" by Drake, Kanye West, Lil wayne and Eminem will win Rap duo on name alone like "Swagga Like Us" not mention "Forever" is #1 on Itunes chart and climbing the R&B/Hip Hop charts.
