Are you wondering who has the most Grammy awards in rap?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grammys are often seen as the penultimate award for music artists, and a good reason. Being nominated for, let alone winning a Grammy Award, is an impressive achievement, and some of today’s biggest rap stars have a number of them under their belts. But which rapper has the most Grammy Awards to their name? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Has the Most Grammy Awards in Rap?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kanye West – 21 Grammys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Chicago rap star has been nominated for over 70 awards<\/a>, with 21 wins. His first win was in 2004 in Best Rap Album for his debut album, The College Dropout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, he has won several awards, including Best Rap Song, Best Rap\/Sung Performance, and Album of the Year. Kanye is one of only three rappers to win Album of the Year, with Jay-Z and OutKast being the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay-Z – 22 Grammys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has racked up more than 100 nominations throughout his long career and has won 22 Grammy Awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He picked up his first Grammy in 1999 when Vol 2 Hard Knock Life won Best Rap Album, and he went on to win Best Rap Solo Performance that same year with “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also has two Album of the Year wins under his belt, one in 2002 for The Blueprint and another in 2018 for 4:44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tied at 22 Grammys apiece, Jay-Z and Kanye West are neck and neck when it comes to who holds the title of most award-winning rapper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they may be tied now, there are still plenty more years left in both artists’ careers, so we may see one come out before all is said and done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as rap goes, Jay-Z and Kanye West stand tall among their peers, having won the most Grammy Awards at 22 apiece! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While that number may seem like a lot, it’s still just a fraction of the total number each artist has been nominated for\u2014over 100 nominations each! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both men have proven themselves time and time again on stage at music’s biggest night; here’s hoping they both keep creating great music so we can hear them at future ceremonies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
