Kanye Tops Grammy Nominations

Kanye West leads with 8 Grammy nominations. I am sure his mom, Donda West, who recently passed last month would have been proud. Following Kanye, is Amy Winehouse with 6 nominations. Winehouse is known for her all too familiar tune "Rehab". Too bad that is somewhere that she does not seem to be heading any time soon.
