Detroit, Michigan Hip Hop superstar Eminem took home two American Music Awards, taped yesterday at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater, and airing on the ABC network. The Aftermath/Shady/Interscope Records artist won for “Best Male Artist” in the Rap/R&B category.
Additionally, Eminem’s summer album, Recovery, won for “Best Album” in the Rap/R&B category. The album, featuring production from Just Blaze, Boi-1da and Havoc, may see triple platinum status by year’s end. Eminem was not in attendance to receive his awards.
Eminem’s labelmates, Hip Hop-turned-Pop stars The Black Eyed Peas also won “Favorite Pop/Rock Band” award. Their album, The Beginning, will release next week.
Diddy and Dirty Money performed at the awards.
YAWN the obligtory best rap award to eminem, what else is new….
why was snoop dogg nominated? SMH
Keep hatin nigga, Em doing it big, as always!
snoop was nominated? undermines the crediblity of the entire award. wtf has snoop done lately. they have no clue.
At least Snoop gives you something to bump in the club or the whip without being embarrassed in public.
Eminem must be working on filling up his 3rd trophy case or summin by now.
Dude probably has an entire room dedicated to trophies and wall plaques, lol
He could make a song about taking a shit and they still would give him every award so what else is new
For an album winning so many awards I haven’t listened to it in months. Most classic albums like GRODT, MMLP, BluePrint, and others stay on deck for years.
Recovery is not that hot.
GRODT is the definition of an album that got old quick, I listened to that thing for a month and sold it to sound exchange, lol
you probably should be listening to blues from celine dion and co.
It really was not an Interscope Night, Bieber was the hot dog.
LOL! Yeah right.
Two Words: Triple platinum. 🙂
Eminem deserved to win, he rapped his ass off on Recovery. I still hate some of the hooks on it though lol.
Why the do fuck do they have rap and r&b in the same Category
Why the fuck do they have rap and r&b in the same Category.

I am happy for Meinem, he deserve this award.
This award is another prove for his talant.
