Kendrick Lamar led the Grammy nominations on Monday, scoring 11, including album of the year for "To Pimp a Butterfly." The hip-hop artist from Compton, the heart of the Los Angeles rap scene, left Taylor Swift trailing with seven nominations for the biggest awards in the music industry. Lamar, who won two Grammys last year in the specialist rap category, has been honored with a nomination for the top prize, album of the year. Lamar will compete in the best album category with Swift's "1989," The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind the Madness," country singer Chris Stapleton's "Traveller" and rock band Alabama Shakes' "Sand & Color."
