Drake X Eminem X Lil Wayne X Grammys

After we stopped live blogging, three of hip-hop's heaviest forces joined with Travis Barker for a solid, hyped performance. Though none of the hip-hop awards were telecast, the headlining performance represented.

Check eventual Album of the Year winner, Taylor Swift, singing along; ditto for Oscar winner and flipcam enthusiast, Jamie Foxx.

And where was Kanye West on this "Forever" performance? His comrades think it was due to a) Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak getting snubbed or b) the fact he's hard at work on his next LP. Personally, I think he's finally realizing how silly and frivolous and backwards this particular awards ceremony is. I'm hoping he's putting behind notion that Grammy vindication equates anything substantive.
