Hip Hop almost NON Existent at the Grammys, Robinson Cano in attendance, and more.

The 54th annual Grammy awards has slapped the hip hop industry right in the face, this past Sunday night.

While LL Cool J hosted the show, along with a show opening performance by Beyoncé (later followed by a little help from Jay-Z), the Grammy's went on to prove that it is nothing more then a glorified, Pop/Rock Music Award Show. Jay-Z won the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, for his hit "Holy Grail" featuring Justin Timberlake, amongst a few other awards throughout the night. Unfortunately, that's where the night ended for Hip Hop (other then an outstanding performance by Kendrick Lamar.)

Pop artist Macklemore, won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, along with Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best New Artist. After the show, Macklemore sent a text message to Kendrick, stating that Kendrick had gotten "robbed" of the Best Rap Album category. Okay, so if that's how you're REALLY feeling, then give him the Grammy! Kendrick DID get robbed and he absolutely deserved to win for all his hard work & struggle!

Robinson Cano posted a picture on Instagram, sitting with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. I'm gonna say, since Robbie signed with Roc Nation Sports, his ego has gone through the roof. Cano seems to think he's a "super celebrity" now! I wonder if this "signing with Roc Nation Sports" trend, is going to effect CC's persona. Honestly, I wouldn't expect anything less then his normal self. A respectful athlete, who appreciates the organization he works for.  

Next years Grammys should be interesting. Judging by this year, it's looking like Hip Hop is gonna have less & less impact, year by year in the future.
