At the CBS Grammy nomination concert, "The GRAMMYS Nominations Concert Live!!," LL Cool J took to the stage clad in a velvet suit and the black-tie version of his Kangol hat, to announce nominees for the 56th annual Grammy awards. He did not appear to be in violation of any boob-related wardrobe rules.

Acting as emcee for the second year in a row, the multi-hyphenate distributed nods for the 2014 ceremony. Nominations included 9 nominations for Jay Z, as well as 7 each for Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell. As for awards of his own, LL Cool J took home trophies for Best Rap Solo performance in both 1992 and 1997.
