24hourhiphop Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 56th Grammy Awards aired tonight at 8pm on CBS, there are several anticipating performances scheduled such as the talented couple Beyonce & Jay Z singing “ Drunk in Love". Jay Z is leading with nine Grammy Nominations this year. Following behind Jay Z nominations are Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis tied with seven. Drake also brought in five nominations. Kanye along with Jay Z has boycotted the Awards ceremony for many years stated that the Grammy awards were bias to the hip hop music artists in the industry. I would say that the Grammy Awards has taken their boycotting serious due to the highest nominated musicians being Hip Hop artists this year.
