Congrats on the noms. I don't really see him winning them however. I'm loving the video for "Pursuit of Happiness". I wish it would be a hit, such an awesome song. It's a shame he never followed up the success of "Day N Nite". He might win Rap Performance By a Duo or Group because of the Kanye and Common combo. His chances are good there.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he walked away with a win.

What happened to him on the Lady Gaga tour sucks. Why would a fan throw a wallet onto the stage? Did he think Kid was Kanye? I feel bad for Kid. Hopefully, he does not become limited as the one who jumped into the audience to fight a fan.

Im sure artists are getting tired of dumb fans throwing stuff on stage or at them.

Getting dropped from GaGa's Tour, one of the most important tours and a way to push you into further prominence? Not a good look, Scott.

Either way, it was a bad move.
I would've loved to see him w/ Gaga - two of my favorites artists of 09.
Looks like he won't have a 2nd hit until the next album.

I don't like how Universal Motown marketed this album at all. They shouldn't have waited so long to release it. It should have been released when "Day 'N' Nite" was tearing up the charts. It's a solid album and deserves to be pushed. "Make Her Say" and "Pursuit of Happiness" are great songs. I just wish they would have released "Sky Might Fall" with another futuristic type video. Hopefully, the next album is marketed better.

WOW! He just performed "Pursuit of Happiness" on some late night show. I noticed that his album rebounded on the charts. Now, all of a sudden they are deciding to push "Pursuit of Happiness." I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. I'm kinda glad that they aren't giving up on this album. It should be able to hit Gold when it's all said and done.

Best Rap Song - "Day 'N' Nite" (songwriters Scott Mescudi & Oladipo Omishore) Who's he up against for this? And he may have a chance with the "Make Her Say" nom since Gaga is a part of it.

"Run This Town" "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-tune)" "Best I Ever Had" "Dead and Gone" I think "Dead and Gone" will win, but I wouldn't be mad at a Cudi win there. And I actually agree with you. "Make Her Say" has a good chance at winning Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group because of the GaGa sample. Not to mention, Kanye West and Common are highly respected, especially Kanye West (12 Grammys win? C'mon!).

I'm surprised that "Make Her Say" wasn't a bigger song as well. I also was surprised that Wale's "Chillin" with GaGa wasn't a hit. :/

Saw him last night in NYC...he put on a great show. When he played MHS, he just shouted "Grammyyyyyyyy" as the audience sang the Gaga chorus.
He was high as a freaking kite for the encore...he gave a really long speech that didn't seem to go anywhere lol but the crowd loved it. And closed w/ Pursuit of Happiness.

I sure hope he joins the "Grammy Family." He deserves it. He seems like the type the voters would go with. If he doesn't win this year, then there is always next year. "Pursuit of Happiness" should be submitted to Best Urban/Alternative Performance.
Anyway, are they still pushing "Pursuit of Happiness?"
