Music Legends Who Have Been Snubbed By The Grammys

The Grammys keep snubbing Nas. The Queens rapper has been nominated a whopping 13 times and has not won a single award, which is surprising because “Life is Good” was hailed as one of the best albums of 2012.

He is not the only great artist who has been upset by the Grammys. Take a look and see some legends who have never won.

The O’Jays

They have been nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Group a few times, but just couldn’t take home an award. Guess the Grammys weren’t on board for that “Love Train.”
