I don't understand why Lil Wayne gets 8 noms. Just can't see what's so good about that album. Kinda pissed that MGMT got snobbed because Oracular Spectacular is a great album (But hey Daft Punk got a nom so yay
). I'm happy that MIA and Adele got noms though, both great artists in their respective fields. Since it's not happening in any other thread lol ), let's get to arguing about music!
