The 54th Annual Grammy Awards highlighted the accomplishments of Kanye West, Jay-Z, Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and Lupe Fiasco in the Best Rap Performance category. Jay-Z and Kanye West took home the coveted award Sunday night (Feb. 12) for their 'Watch the Throne' hit 'Otis.'

Neither rapper made an appearance at the show, which award presenter Marc Anthony pointed out as he made note of their win. Kanye won three awards before the 'Otis' accolade, taking home Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
