Best Rap Performance Odds
tv off Best Rap Performance Odds
Kendrick Lamar's "tv off" is one of the standout tracks from the Compton-born rapper's sixth studio album, GNX, which was released in late 2024. Riding the high of Lamar's public feud with Drake, "tv off" has over 800 million streams on Spotify, putting it among his most listened to songs.
The combination of one of the most popular and technically skilled rappers in the world, along with a song that functions as both a showcase of his skills and as a catchy earworm, should be a stellar combination at the Grammys. Kendrick's Kalshi odds to take home this award are overwhelming.
Chains & Whips Best Rap Performance Odds
The other track given a double-digit chance to take home the Grammy is Clipse's "Chains & Whips". The song is featured on the duo's fifth studio album, Let God Sort Em Out, their first release since 2009.
Clipse, made up of rappers Pusha T and Malice, peaked as a group in the mid-2000s, though Pusha T went on to have notable solo success during and after the fact. "Chains & Whips", as well as the album as a whole, proves that the two Virginia Beach natives still have it in a rap industry that places less of a priority on lyrics and technical skill. Their representation of a mostly bygone era in hip-hop could allow them to stand out enough to steal the Grammy from under Kendrick's nose.
