The American Music Awards are currently on the air, and although the show is not nearly over yet, we do know the outcome for Rap/Hip-Hop Album Of The Year. The AMAs have the winner of this award also performing tonight, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
The Heist duo beat out Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city and Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail...What do you guys think about that? Nelly also took the stage earlier tonight, as will Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, Lady Gaga, Rihanna. Apart from Macklemore's win, we've also seen Rihanna receive the first-ever AMA Icon Award.
