On this day, Jan. 26, in hip-hop history, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis beat out Kendrick Lamar in all four competing categories at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in 2014.
Hip Hop will be well represented at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards this year. Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Robin Thicke and The Weeknd have all received nominations. The big winners are expected to be Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who lead the way with 6 nominations each.
We never really pegged Stephen Colbert as a hip hop fan, but none-the-less, it was nice to see the music genre represented with an appearance by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis on his popular Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report.
