The 50th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony saw West snag eight nominations and go home with four trophies: Best Rap Album for "Graduation," Best Rap Solo Performance for "Stronger," Best Rap Song for "Good Life" and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "Southside," his collaboration with Common.

The outspoken rapper made chart history in September with the release of his third album, "Graduation," which snagged the No. 1 spot on The Billboard 200 with first-week sales reaching nearly 957,000 units. It marked the biggest debut of any album since West's 2005 sophomore set, "Late Registration," according to a press release.

So far, "Graduation" has spawned No. 1 pop hit "Stronger," No. 1 rap track "Good Life," Top 10 rap track "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and the latest single, "Flashing Lights," the video for which is set to premiere this week.
