Drake's Grammys Nominations For Best Rap Song, Best Rap Album Take Focus Off Canceled Performance

Despite a last minute performance cancellation due to scheduling complications, Drake received four Grammy nominations for Best Rap Performance with "Started From The Bottom," Best Rap Song with "Started From The Bottom" and Best Rap Album with "Nothing Was The Same."

Drake's third studio album, "Nothing Was The Same," debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, and has sold over one million copies since its release. Tracks such as "Started From The Bottom" and "Hold On, We're Going Home," and his swift-spitting verse on "Versace," have made Drake a consistent force in the 2013 hip-hop game.

In the past, Drake has been nominated for 13 Grammys in categories such as Best Rap Song, Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance. It wasn't until last year's Grammy Awards, however, that Drake won an award from the music organization, taking home Best Rap Album for his record "Take Care."
