Rap mogul Jay-Z's three-award Grammy juggernaut rolled early: At the afternoon ceremony he collected awards for best rap/sung collaboration and best rap song (for his duet with Alicia Keys, "Empire State of Mind") and best rap performance by a duo or group (for "On to the Next One," with Swizz Beatz). Eminem - the year's comeback kid (his album "Recovery" has sold 3.5 million) and the day's top nominee, with 10 nods - took best rap album, and in the early going as "Not Afraid" pulled in best rap solo performance honors.

Its only befitting that Hip Hop's biggest juaggernauts of the past ten years in counting continue to show that age isn't nothing but a number as they continue to put up big numbers in their storied careers. They both have sold over 30 million records domestically they stand second and third only to 2pac forget all that other nonsense you heard in the media and from other artists exaggerating their sales.


Where are they now as Jay and Eminem have long ago established themselves in the Hip Hop Hall Of Fame and Music Hall Of fame altogether. I mean sold out tours,fashion lines,millions of hit recoeds sold, movies, plays,successful record and production companies, successful artists, Hundreds of Millions made, countless numbers of awards and accolades. They are the blueprint to hiphop success. Now multiple grammy wins to add to their legendary statue and career. Jay Z. 41 and Eminem 39 their still pushing the envelope and showing these young guns in the industry how to be successful and still put out quality music and be respected for it in the end.
