SomeOnes last week, One Song this week. The topic: one of the most transcendent, prolific artists of our generation. Some would add the qualifier of \"hip-hop\" or \"rap\", and while that would be accurate, it's far from necessary. To wit: compile the list of all seven humans with 27+ Grammy awards. Take out conductors and producers (John Williams, Quincy Jones, and Sir Georg Solti - legends in their own rights, of course).
