Shakes is certainly right that Gwen Stefani doesn't belong within driving distance of the Album of the Year nominations, but it's not even the worst nomination out there. For that, Urs takes us to Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group, and the Ying-Yang Twins "Wait (the Whisper Song)", which is almost certainly the most blatantly chauvinistic song ever to be nominated for anything. The whisper gimmick rubs off about halfway through the first time one hears it, at which point your just left with a lot of domestic violence.
As an Atlanta native, I'm proud to share a home town with Outkast, can appreciate Usher's work ethic and impressive dance moves, and even appreciate the outlandishness of Ludcaris. Goodie Mob is outstanding and underrated and T.I.'s over-the-top mannerisms have their place. But I must profusely apologize for the freakin' Ying Yang Twins..
