Kanye West Snubbed or Not With Six Grammy Nominations ?

Kanye West Music triumphed over controversy when a stellar six nominations were revealed for Kanye West at Wednesday's Grammy Nominations special.

While West is missing from the Best Rap Album category, the rapper pulled off a nomination for Best Rap Performance By A Duo or Group for his "808s & Heartbreak" single "Amazing".

Learning of his nominations with the world Wednesday, West escaped backlash from the audience except for a sly remark from soul legend Smokey Robinson during the anticipated Grammy Nominations Special airing on CBS.

Revealing a nomination for Taylor Swift, Robinson joked, "Don't worry Taylor, Kanye West is not here" - referencing the much-discussed on stage rant at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in September.

Nonetheless, West had the last laugh when five other nominations were revealed, spawning from his work on the hit singles "Run This Town (Jay-Z)," "Knock You Down" (Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo) and "Ego" (Beyonce).

With news of his nominations, one for his own effort, and the remainder for collaborative efforts, some are wondering whether or not West will show up when the show airs January 31 on CBS and perhaps whether he considers the nods a snub or not. Just over a year ago West was nominated for multiple Grammys -- however, most of those nominations were from his own album.

Rumors of West being banned from award shows and possibly facing a huge snub at the Grammys broke earlier this year when a number of influential insiders lambasted West for snatching the mic from Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards.

As previously reported, West vowed to take a break from the music industry and is rumored to be at work on a new album.

    Swift and Gaga suck point blank, Beyonce is good so we will leave here out, but West hes good at making beats but not lyrics and his beats arent the best off the top of my head organized noise and (rip) j dilla blow him out the water he cant even lacem with a condom theyre so ahead of him; his lyrics are not in the top 100, goign from state to state we can name cats that are better; california: snoop, e40, too short, the game, dj quick, suga free, kurupt, tre dee, goldie loc, xzibit..theres 10 right quick off the top of my head who are better then Kanye lyricly...I didnt even go deeper into Cali rappers who are better and theres still 49 states more to go.. 4th that was my opinon

  9. david says:

    first off Lady Gaga sucks...2nd Kanye West is a racist if Don Imus gets blacklisted from radio so should Kanye we need to stop being double a standard society and boot racist blacks the same way we boot racist whites, in LA I remember feeling for a day the world was just, when Steve Harvey's racist ass got the boot from 92.3 and his bigotry got took off the radio the same has to happen to Kanye..3rd art appreciation is opinon based so theres no way all will see the outcome as just; really they all are not the best of all time in there genres thats west, beyonce, gaga, or swift and theyre are not even the best as of there time...
