GRAMMY FAMILY

This year's Grammy awards were this past weekend and I've learned a few things. Beyonce wins a lot, I know little to nothing about country and alternative music (who the hell is Zac Brown Band), and rap super groups love to steal the show. Take 2009 for instance where four of this era's most notable rappers appeared (with an about to burst M.I.A.) to perform "Swagger Like Us", undoubtedly one of the hottest tracks of that year. 2010 was no different when everyone's new favourite rapper, Drake, appeared along side Lil' Wayne and Eminem to perform "Forever".

I know what you're thinking, "Where was Kanye?!" I have no idea, but I'm sure you can make your own Taylor Swift related joke to account for his absence. Both performances helped make the near 4 hour show a lot more entertaining, and give hip-hop heads like me something to look forward to. I wonder who will be taking the stage next year? Wu-Tang reunion? The Fugees maybe? Shoot i'd be happy if they did a Murder Inc. tribute. I guess we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime enjoy the performances without CBS's over the top censoring.
