Jay-Z Scores Himself An Emmy!


Over his decade-plus career in the music industry, Jay-Z has picked up a few awards -- including 13 Grammys -- but the Brooklyn rapper has officially scored his first Emmy win this year.

Hov was honored with the Sports Emmy Award -- Outstanding Music Composition/Direction/Lyrics Emmy Award -- for giving a memorable opening performance at Super Bowl XLIV with 'Run This Town.' Jay performed the 'Blueprint 3' single to the backdrop of a full orchestra, sporting his signature black shades and a full suit. His collaborators, U2, also grabbed an Emmy Award for their contributions to the FIFA World Cup Broadcast.
