Der Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance, auf Deutsch „Grammy-Award für die beste Rap-Solodarbietung“, ist ein Musikpreis, der im Zeitraum von 1991 bis 2011 bei den jährlich stattfindenden Grammy Awards verliehen wurde. Ausgezeichnet wurden Solokünstler für herausragende Songs, auf denen gerappt wird, also vornehmlich Lieder aus dem Genre der Hip-Hop-Musik. Seit 2012 gehört der Preis zur Kategorie Best Rap Performance.
Die seit 1958 verliehenen Grammy Awards (eigentlich Grammophone Awards) werden jährlich in zahlreichen Kategorien von der National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika vergeben, um künstlerische Leistung, technische Kompetenz und hervorragende Gesamtleistung ohne Rücksicht auf die Album-Verkäufe oder Chart-Position zu ehren.[1]
Im Jahr 1991 wurde der seit 1989 verliehene Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in die Kategorien Best Rap Solo Performance und Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group aufgeteilt. Eine weitere Trennung in Best Male Rap Solo Performance und Best Female Rap Solo Performance fand in den Jahren 2003 und 2004 statt, wurde anschließend aber wieder rückgängig gemacht.
Entsprechend der Kategorienbeschreibung konnten Interpreten den Preis für Rapsongs erhalten, die neu aufgenommen wurden oder im Auszeichnungszeitraum bekannt wurden. Vergeben wurde die Auszeichnung nach den Regularien für Darbietungen (Singles/Lieder) von Einzelkünstlern aus dem Bereich der Hip-Hop-Musik.[2] Im Zuge einer Umstrukturierung der Grammy Awards wurde die Kategorie 2012 wieder mit der Auszeichnung für Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group zum Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance zusammengelegt, um die Anzahl der Preise zu reduzieren.[3][4]
Alle 23 Gewinner des Awards stammen aus den Vereinigten Staaten.
Mit vier Auszeichnungen ist der Rapper Eminem der erfolgreichste Künstler in dieser Kategorie und zugleich der am häufigsten nominierte (acht Mal). Auf ihn folgt die Rapperin Missy Elliott, die drei Preise erhielt, von denen sie zwei in den Jahren 2003 und 2004 bekam, als der Award zusätzlich in Best Female Rap Solo Performance aufgeteilt wurde. Neben ihr konnte lediglich Queen Latifah 1995 als weiblicher Künstler gewinnen.
Außerdem bekamen LL Cool J, Will Smith, Jay-Z und Kanye West je zwei Trophäen überreicht, während Busta Rhymes fünf Mal nominiert wurde, jedoch nie gewann.
