7 Rappers Who've Never Won A Grammy That Should Have

• Snoop Dogg

  Share

  Snoop Dogg is a rap legend, and having zero Grammys under his belt does not sit right with us. Snoop has been nominated 16 times for the award. He's gotten nominations for his hits such as "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang," "Gin And Juice," "Still D.R.E." and more. The California native admitted that his "Gin And Juice," loss was upsetting but Queen Latifah cheered him up. "She won and I was hurt, but she was like, ‘N----, I love ‘Gin and Juice.’ That’s my favorite s---.’ So then I got unhurt fast," he said in his audiobook From The Streets To The Suites.

• Nicki Minaj

  Share

  There's no debate that what Nicki Minaj has done for female rap and hip-hop in general. she's an icon. However, the Queens native has never won a Grammy. Her hits such as "Moment 4 Life," "Bang Bang," and "Anaconda" have earned Grammy nominations. She has been nominated 12 times so far in her career most recently at the 2024 Grammys. She was nominated for Best Rap Song ("Barbie World") and Best Song Written For Visual Media ("Barbie World").

• Tupac

  Share

  When you think of hip-hop greats, Tupac is at top of mind. He was killed at the age of 25, but his influence is still felt on the genre today. It's hard to believe that he never won a Grammy. He was nominated five times before his death in 1996 and was nominated for one posthumously. His last Grammy nomination was in 2000 for "Changes."
• Notorious B.I.G.

  Share

  Just like Tupac, Biggie is another hip-hop icon who has failed to earn a Grammy win. The New York native had one Grammy nomination before he was killed in 1997 and three posthumously in 1998. His hit such as "Big Poppa," "Hypnotize," and "Mo Money Mo Problems," have earned nominations but never a golden gramaphone. His last set of nominations was for the 40th Annual Grammy Awards including a Best Rap Album nod for Life After Death.

  Travis Scott has had three consecutive No. 1 albums but still has never had a Grammy win. Additionally, several career hits such as "Sicko Mode," and "Highest In The Room," have been nominated for Grammys. He was nominated for a Grammy 10 times in his career.

  Share

  Post Malone has been in hip-hop since 2011 but came into the mainstream in 2015 with his debut single "White Iverson." The rapper has collaborated with Travis Scott, Quavo, 21 Savage, Doja Cat, and more. Despite having four No. 1's and 11 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, he has never won a Grammy. He has been nominated 10 times. His last nomination was in 2023 for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his song "I Like You (A Happier Song)."
• Rick Ross

  Share

  "Aston Martin Music" has no Grammy. Yup, let that sink in. Rick Ross has been nominated for a Grammy nine times and has no wins.
