2011 Grammy Awards - Hip-Hop Winners
Winners at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards in the rap/hip-hop categories

By Henry Adaso, About.com Guide


Eminem had 11 Grammy wins to his name prior to this year's ceremony. But he's never bagged the prestigious Album of the Year. That didn't change on February 13, 2011. As a consolation prize, Em notched his 5th career win for Best Rap Album. The Academy should consider renaming that category The Marshall Mathers Award for Best Rap Album.

I will say that in the past year, even tho' the music industry is a joke, I've enjoyed a lot of award shows more than I expected to. The Grammys there year were the exception. I thought they were very boring. I felt that a few good songs were over looked and that most of the songs that were going against each other were just not that good. Lady Anttabellum (sp?) had that big hit and why I don't think it was as bad as most country songs, it didn't deserve to win as many times as it did. I'm not a fan of rock music but I thought all of nominees for the rock categories were awful. I listed a few that I wanted to win. I'm glad Eminem won the awards that he did. He did finally put a good album for the 1st time in a decade. I wanted to see Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and B.O.B. win more.

U must be on dog food. How can Bruno Mars be wack? Bruno Mars is one of the best songwriters that R-N-B has seen in years!! His range of music styles is broad, this voice and stage presence is excellent, and plays a lot of his own instruments. I think his sound could be a little more solid, but as far as I'm concerned, he's one of the most refreshing things 2 happen to R-N-B in a long time.
