Kendrick Lamar is currently nominated for a slew of Grammy Awards, including "Album of the Year." Fellow rapper Eminem believes that that To Pimp A Butterfly emcee deserves such recognition, but what are the actual chances of that happening?

According to the infamous "Rap God," probably very slim.

During a recent interview with Juan Epstein on Rosenberg Radio, hip-hop superstar KXNG Crooked (of the popular group Slaughterhouse) reveals:

"I talked to Eminem about [the] Kendrick nominations. He seemed like he doubted if they would give him Album of the Year. Not because he doesn't deserve it, but he was telling me all the stories of people [who've] been snubbed for their amazing albums in hip-hop. He was like, 'Yo man - I just really want [Kendrick] to get that [Grammy].'"

Well, do MstarsNews readers agree?

The other four nominees include:

Alabama Shakes, "Sound & Color"

Taylor Swift, "1989"

Chris Stapleton, "Traveller"

The Weeknd, "Beauty Behind the Madness"

Meanwhile, here are the other honors Lamar could potentially snag on February 15 (2016):

To Pimp A Butterfly - Best Rap Album

"Alright" (4) - Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Music Video, Best Rap Song

"All Day" (as writer) - Best Rap Song

"These Walls" (with Bilal, Anna Wise and Thundercat) - Best Rap/Sung Collaboration

"Never Catch Me" (with Flying Lotus) - Best Dance Recording

"Bad Blood" (with Taylor Swift) - Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Music Video

Stay tuned for any further updates. The MMLP2 hypeman has yet to release details about another new solo album release anytime toon. Sorry, #Stans!
