After last year's Grammy awards, where Kendrick Lamar was beat out by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis in the Best Rap Album category, hip-hop fans are rightfully skeptical of this year's Grammy results.

Iggy Azalea could have a big night with her four nominations -- and while her success makes her deserving, she isn't the best hip-hop representative. In fact, if Iggy wins the Best Rap Album category, there is sure to be some backlash -- especially when an artist like YG (My Krazy Life) wasn't even nominated.

To say that the Grammy committee isn't in tune with the sensibilities and taste of the hip-hop community would be an understatement. If we're being honest, the Grammys have been getting it wrong for years when it comes to hip-hop. A number of MCs that we include in our greatest of all-time debates have never hoisted a golden gramophone. In fact, the list of rappers who have never won a Grammy would surprise you. So here we picked out 12 spitters who we feel are award-winning.
