The 2009 Grammys went down last night. To summarize, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss swept the awards and mopped the floor with Lil Wayne’s dreads. Weezy was robbed of his Album of the Millennium award for the timeless masterpiece that we now know as Tha Carter III. Still, he managed to walk home with 4 gramophones, including one for the greatest rap song of all time — “Lollipop.” The show was relatively free of drama (meaning no Kanye bitchfest this year…well, just one). Anyhoo, peep the hip-hop winners and some Grammy pictorials after the cut.
