Did you know that all of Jay-Z’s Grammy Awards were won in the Rap categories?
Jay-Z has thus far won fourteen Grammys but thirteen of them have been in the Rap fields, despite him being nominated for Record of the Year on three separate occasions and once for Song of the Year in 2008 for Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’. He has yet to nab a nod for Album of Year and his only non-Rap win was for Best R&B Song with Beyonce.
To date, Jay-Z’s most popular category is that of Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in which he has taken home the Grammy for five of his works. Watch the video for his most recent Best Rap/Sung Collaboration winner, ‘Empire State of Mind (Ft. Alicia Keys)’, below:
