Lil Wayne Snatches 4 Grammy Awards
by on February 9th, 2009
At the 51st Grammy Awards last night, held in Los Angeles, California, rapper Lil Wayne was the bread winner taking home 4 Grammy Awards. The New Orleans superstar received awards for Best Rap (Solo Performance) - "A Milli", Best Rap Song - "Lollipop", Best Rap Performance (By A Duo or Group) "Swagga Like Us", and finally, Best Rap Album "Tha Carter III".
“I just wanna say thank God, thank New Orleans, thank these people you see right here and thank you,” said Wayne, who beat fellow nominees Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco and T.I. to receive the Best Rap Album award. He also brought his family onstage and expressed his gratitude toward those responsible for his good fortune.
Other winners last night included: Mary J. Blige (Best Contemporary R&B Album for Growing Pains), Ne-Yo (Best R&B Song and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Miss Independent”), Chrissette Michele (Best Urban/Alternative Performance for “Be OK” featuring will.i.am), Al Green featuring Anthony Hamilton (Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for "You've Got The Love I Need"), Al Green featuring John Legend (Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for "Stay With Me (by the Sea)"), Alicia Keys (Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for " Superwoman").




























50 cent aint got no grammys lol
where all the g unit groupies lol
wayne is on top of the game
have u eva noticed that ne-yo is FUCKING BALD
A Milli – BEST RAP PERFORMANCE??
Lollipop – BEST RAP SONG????
Hip Hop has just died.
A Milli – BEST RAP PERFORMANCE??
Lollipop – BEST RAP SONG????
Hip Hop has just died.
“everyone claim they the best since b.i.g gone if u ask me they dead wrong.” -royce
Imagine at next years GRAMMYs hearing:
And winner for best Rock Album is: Rebirth by Lil Wayne
Lol. That would be monumental…and not to mention very…very funny.
seems like hip hop is the only category in the grammys that is decided completly off record sales
I’ve accepted the fact that most at the grammy voting don’t know shit.
But if lil wayne beat out robert plant(lead singer of led zeppelin) lmao, the world has officially gone mad.
Ghostface Killah’s “The Big Doe Rehab”
if you havent heard it…check it out..shit is dope….
of course it wasnt even thought of for nomination cuz ever since like 99 the grammys are a popularity contest..Like people voting for the prom queen in high school…
ironic enoguh weezy new single is entitled prom queen…..
Fuck up thing is it was a number 1 album when it debuted and i never heard any of the songz of it on the radio..not even “hero”…
the reason i dont rally think it was the best of 08 is cuz the subject matter kinda seemed forced..like he knew he was being controversial for sales…..still a dope CD tho
as far as that LUPE CD..it was good but no way the best….im lookin fwd to his next joint tho
Oh word..ALL the bloods wear blue yankee fitted caps in BK>?…Im sorry but any bloods ive ever met will not wear blue any day..even laudry day…..and im from NY…Go up to 125th and see if they got on blue…
Im sorry i insulted your boyfriend……it seems like these faggot fans will suck any1’s dick these dayz….
Your right i am a HATER! I hate frail faggot niggas who portray a gangster then get in a booth and mumble while in a syrup induced coma….
so when you see me say HI HATER!
best rapsong: lollipop…smh he ain’t even rapping on the song
best rap album: if that means the album that sold the must then yes
best solo performnace: don’t know about that
best song by duo or group: he deserved that one
i thought tha carter 2 was better than 3
i mean i like the carter 3 but for a grammy i dont knoww
I believe Led Zeppelin received a lifetime achievement award from the Grammys since at their peak they never won.
Lol you have to question these folks voting or so called “industry insiders”.
But Robert Plant and Krauss are an aquired taste. I’ve only heard 3 songs. 2 of them I like.
Its just good to see Robert Plant still making music.
Anyways Free Chris Brown. Lol
Second, Best Rap album from an album that did not live up to the height? There are plenty of other albums that would fit that category before C3 (The Cool, Untitled, The Recession, LAX, Theatre of the Mind… just to name a few).
It’s sad because I hate repeating myself but I am not a wayne hater, I’m actually a fan. I’m just a fan of Good hip-hop and I also stay off his jock and realize he fell off. If he keeps it up he will be the new era MC Hammer, just more played out.
Hov dropped his 1st album at 26, and look how successful he’s become since then…Wayne’s gotta long career left people. He’s going down top 5 all time whether yall like it or not.
Props to him on the win…and looking forward to him winning many more.
Oh yeah, TIP (Tha King!!!!) finally got one for a song on his own album. Im still waiting with him for his album of the year grammy though. It’s gotta come sometime.
The top 5 rappers would not release something like c3, and definitiely not “Rebirth.” it sickens me how people can still listen to this guy the past year and have thoughts of him being the best circulating through their fragile minds.
This is by far Wayne’s most creative album. Not his best lyrically, but he definitely went everywhere with this one in a little bit over an hour.
It’s hard for a rapper to fit that many different feels into one album, but Wayne did it. It was hard for me to get at first, but it really makes since again now…Just like it did when I first bought the album.
Oh yeah, and Hov’s albums have way more fillers than Wayne’s do. I got them all by both artists and I can definitely back that statement up if you want me to.
Wayne is a pop star
Lollipop got fucking BEST RAP SONG
how is that something to brag about? that song sucked DICK
I understand what you’re saying. I don’t even think Carter III should have won, I just didn’t like the choice. It reminded me of when Steely Dan won when Eminem should have won a few years back. And yes I’m glad Plant still makes music but his latest songs with that woman sound boring to me is all. Maybe it doesn’t suck but I find it hard to believeit’s the absolute best recorded album of the year in all music genres.
……………………………………Congrats ……………………..

ReDef.
hip hop is goin down lately
yall cant be serious wit the carter 3 as the best rap album and fuckin fuckin lolipop as the best track……yall kiddin?!!?!?
WOW
more like worst rap song EVER
wtf is wrong with these old ass white people giving him an award for that pop bullshit
No matter what and dead and gone was the best songs of 08 to me
But yall cats on these hiphop sites are so close minded that it hurts to see as a collective so many people can be so ignorant. Waynes album reached every genre, thas what his grammy nominations was about. NOT pleasing tha ppl that claim they know so much about rap and all that or how he should be rappin, but reaching a wider audience. I saw White people, black people, Asian people and even Jay-Z and Lupe singing his song “Tie my Hands” but yall still can’t respect dude; come on man it’s time to give life up cuz if we can’t even respect our own people how you gon respect any damn body
2 fingers (for real)
Stupidest thing I have ever seen. You can knock his music. You can knock his voice. And you can knock how he handles himself. But you can’t knock his work ethic.
You named one punchline that was whack. You failed to mention all of the other ones that were creative and fire. Example… “Ima Wayne on they heads like precipitation.” You may not know what that is from sense you don’t like Wayne. It’s from Im A Loser Remix. Look it up if you haven’t heard it.
And I guess you missed the Tie My Hands performance last night if you think he never raps about anything. Dude deserves his props.
Go Ill!
an switch from rap into rock an roll
an u 2 can get a grammy…..
But just to be clear, the grammy’s do mean something.
If they don’t, then name the award show’s that do????
BET: Yeah, wayne’s won em
MTV: Yeah, wayne’s won em
GRAMMYs: Yeah, got those as well
So…name your music awards show that means sumn bruh???
Nas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ur fav rapper

but i still dont think he should have won some of those grammys like
how lollipop won in a rap category with four other rap songs there

* Lollipop
Lil wayne

* Sexual Eruption
Snoop Dogg
* Superstar
Lupe Fiasco (Lupe Fiasco Featuring Matthew Santos)
* Swagga Like Us
Ti Jay-z Kanye west lil wayne
how do lollipop win this shit
and second
Carter 3 wasnt Rap album of the year
i may be to u just cause it sold a million copies the first week
but its not if u want to hear shit like phone home
then u are not a fan of real hip-hop
there were so many rap albums that was better in 2008
Like
Ludacris-Theater Of Mind
T.i.-Paper trail
Young jeezy -The recession
Nas-untitled
The game-L.A.X
Bun B-trill
Ice Cube-Raw Footage
Lupe fiasco-the cool
Jay-z-American gangsta
all are more lyrical cds then the carter 3
