Yesterday (November 20), Rapsody expressed her disappointment following the announcement of the 2020 Grammy Award nominations. While late 2017’s Laila’s Wisdom earned two nominations, 2019’s exceptional LP Eve was not included in Wednesday’s list. In a social media post, the Jamla/Roc Nation MC admitted that she was “frustrated” and “disappointed.” However, she went on to praise those nominated in the categories (which include past collaborators such as J. Cole, Nipsey Hussle Anderson .Paak). Rap also gave a shout-out to Freddie Gibbs, whose latest Madlib collaboration (Bandana) was another body of work withheld from any of the Grammy categories.
With this news, Rapsody’s new Funkmaster Flex freestyle now comes to light. These rhymes show the Snow Hill, North Carolina MC does not need any statues to tell her she’s nice. Moreover, the words show why she’s been winning, with more prizes to come.
