While Em and Lamar will be facing off in the best rap performance category at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Eminem believes that K. Dot is going to “sweep” all seven of his nominations come Feb. 2.

Kendrick Lamar ‘s eventful 2024 will continue into 2025 with a Super Bowl Halftime Show performance and what’s expected to be a big night at the Grammys. The rapper is up for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for “Not Like Us,” as well as Best Rap Song, among other categories.

The impact of this public acknowledgment resonates throughout the industry, setting a precedent for how established artists can maintain their relevance while championing new voices. Eminem’s approach to discussing potential Grammy outcomes reveals a sophisticated understanding of his role as both a competitor and a steward of hip-hop culture.
