Drake's "Nothing Was The Same," Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail," Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "The Heist," Kanye West's "Yeezus," and Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" were nominated for Best Rap Album at Friday's "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!" on CBS.
The nominees for the 56th annual Grammy Awards were made public in the live show which was hosted by LL Cool J at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre, and featured performances from the year's hottest artists such as Robin Thicke and Lorde.
