Chuck's Daily Pick: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration | Justin Timberlake, T.I.
PEOPLE music critic Chuck Arnold counts down to Sunday's Grammy Awards, category by category.

WILL WIN: Justin Timberlake featuring T.I., "My Love"
SHOULD WIN: Justin Timberlake featuring T.I., "My Love"

If there were an award for clunkiest category name, this would win hands-down. Fortunately, these collaborations are smoother than that. Eminem – who needs to get back to the business of making solo albums already – appears on two of the nominated songs, "Smack That" with Akon and the similarly titled "Shake That" with Nate Dogg. (What, no "Squeeze That"?) Also up is "Unpredictable" by Jamie Foxx featuring Ludacris, but that track was about as predictable as contemporary R&B gets.That leaves us with two worthy contenders in "Déjà Vu" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z and "My Love." In any other year, this prize goes to Beyoncé and her boo for almost matching "Crazy in Love." But JT and T.I. will and should win this award for uniting one nation under a funky, futuristic groove.
