This year, two rappers, Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z, are competing for Grammys for both Album and Record of the Year. Will that double the chances of one of them winning — or reduce them, by splitting the vote of hip-hop fans? And will the presence of Childish Gambino in those same two categories further split the vote of fans of R&B and hip-hop?
