Nominees: 'Revenge Of The Dreamers III' - Dreamville, 'Championships' - Meek Mill, 'I Am > I Was' - 21 Savage, 'Igor' - Tyler, The Creator, 'The Lost Boy' - YBN Cordae

Many felt like Tyler, The Creator had a potential Album Of The Year nominee with 'Igor' heading into this show. Instead, he only received a nomination in Best Rap Album, and has been shut out of the rest of the awards.

Depending on your outlook, that either makes him a favorite to win here, or susceptible to an upset and continued snub.

Meanwhile, J. Cole is featured across the board in each rap category, including Best Rap Album for 'Revenge Of The Dreamers III'. The album, a compilation from Cole's record label Dreamville, features his hit song 'Middle Child' and topped the Billboard charts. As far as dark horse candidates go, that makes it a fairly compelling option.

At the same time, 21 Savage's 'I Am > I Was' shouldn't be taken out of contention either. 21 Savage will already be familiar to voters due to his feature on Post Malone's 'Rockstar', and the album's lead single 'A Lot' is also up for Best Rap Song this year.

Those three strong candidates make Best Rap Album one of the hardest categories to call for this year's show.

Unfortunately for Tyler, The Creator fans, that likely won't pose well for the already overlooked 'Igor'. 'Revenge Of The Dreamers III' gets the upset win, and cements J. Cole as one of the night's biggest winners.

Winner: 'Revenge Of The Dreamers III' - Dreamville
