Snoop’s reggae CD should never have been nominated it weak–actually it’s just plain sh*t.
What about Vybz Kartels’ “THE KARTEL FOREVER: TRILOGY”. He was supposed to be nominated, and I don’t see as being the best reggae album this year. Just because he is from America then he is wealthy the nominations. That’s a F******G s**t man. Damn his album.
Snoop Lion’s album is nothing at all comparing to Kartel’s album this year. Hope Sizzla wins instead
kartel all the way .who the fu– is snoop lion damn they are hating on Vybz
