Kanye West Who is nominated for a total of 8 Grammy’s this year including ‘Album of the year’ for his latest release Graduation has recently recieved props from producer Jermaine Dupri who told MTV he feels Kanye has “Hit his mark” also adding “It feels perfect.”

“A lot of times when we see people who we feel should get a Grammy, they don’t hit their mark. You gotta understand the Grammy board and what it is. It’s a much wider array of people than just the ‘hood.“

Kanye West himself spoke to MTV earlier in the year about his high hopes for the Grammy’s stating that he believed he could take home both song and album of the year.

“I really believe I can take home that Album of the Year award at the Grammys. I’ve won my awards, but they’ve always been a category: ‘hip-hop,’ ‘rap.’ I wanna win Song of the Year, Album of the Year. I wanna deliver this album.”

Dupri also touched on how Kanye has widened his audience to include people from outside of the Hip-Hop Community.

“The thing to do in the music industry is make everybody look at you. That’s what [Kanye] does. People looked at him from day one — even when he lost [awards]. He put people on notice: ‘You should watch this kid. Every year, watch out for me.’ “

The 50th Annual Grammy Award Show airs Febuary 10th at 7 pm
