Both rappers {snip} more upset about the lack or air time the hip-hop categories were allotted during the show. Loso and Tip tweeted live during the award show, questioning the decision to award hip-hop honors off the air.

“At the Grammys . . . Thanx 2 everyone who supported me & Loso’s Way. Wish me luck 2 bring home this grammy 2nite!!” Fab wrote before the awards were announced. He then followed up with another Tweet, questioning the programming. “Why don’t the hip-hop/rap categories get televised?? We are a big part of music 2day, even in mainstream America.” he wrote.

Q-Tip {snip} was noticeably annoyed by the Grammy scheduling. {snip} “Y were none of the hip-hop categories on t.v. for grammys?” Tip wrote.”Wow! Comedy category gets airtime but NO F–ing love for Hip Hop. This is some bulls–.”
