Dr. Dre, the rap mogul who produced Eminem's hit album The Marshall Mathers LP, is lashing out at Grammy voters for awarding the Album of the Year trophy to Steely Dan's Two Against Nature instead of Mathers. "To be perfectly honest, I think we were robbed," Dre told Access Hollywood. "It was probably something the Grammys had to do because of the backlash that they were going to get from giving him the award." Despite all the controversy surrounding Eminem's duet with Elton John, ratings for the 43rd annual Grammy Awards Wednesday night were down slightly from last year. Approximately 26.7 million viewers tuned in to the broadcast, about 1.1 million fewer than last year.
