Many Grammy Awards ceremonies have come and gone. There were a lot of great moments. Kanye West shut things down with his two performances. And then, Kanye walked on stage right before Beck gave his acceptance speech for winning Best Album Of The Year...over Beyoncé. There were the political statements made by Common, Beyoncé and Pharrell to publicly support the Black Lives Matter movement by doing the Hands Up, Don't Shoot pose. And there was also Prince. But one thing that wasn't shown was Eminem winning Best Rap Album of the year. That award was given out before the award show started, making that six out of seven Eminem albums that won this prestigious award.
