This year Eminem has been constantly in the hip hop music news for the huge success he has had and these nominations for hip hop superstar Eminem are a fitting reward for the excellent year he has had in 2010 with a smash hit rap album in Recovery and some really incredible rap singles including Not Afraid, Love The Way You Lie and No Love featuring Lil Wayne and some incredible Eminem music videos for these singles too. I am sure after such an incredibly successful year he will deservedly win some of these awards.
