Hip-hop and R&B artists were among some of the big nominees at the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which broadcasted live on CBS on Sunday night (Feb. 8).
Iggy Azalea, who was nominated for Best New Artist and Best Rap Album for ‘The New Classic,’ nabbed nods for ‘Fancy’ in the Record of the Year category and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Meanwhile, fellow Best New Artist nominee Sam Smith went up against Beyonce‘s self-titled record and Pharrell Williams‘ ‘G I R L’ in the Album of the Year category for ‘In the Lonely Hour’. Sam’s ‘Stay With Me (Darkchild Version)’ is also nominated for Song of the Year as well as Record of the Year against Iggy.
While Kendrick Lamar was the most talked about snub at last year’s Grammy Awards, he goes into 2015 with Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for ‘i.’ He has some competition in the Best Rap Song category with Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Anaconda,’ Kanye West‘s ‘Bound 2,’ Wiz Khalifa‘s ‘We Dem Boyz’ and Drake‘s ’0 to 100 / The Catch Up.’ Who do you think will walk away with that award?
Rappers and singers have nominations in the rap and R&B categories, but also crossed over into other genres. Mary J. Blige‘s collaboration with Disclosure on ‘F For You’ is nominated for Best Dance Recording while John Legend, Sam and Pharrell are nominated in the Best Pop Solo Performance.
