The Year of the Hat - The 2014 year at the Grammy's was all about Pharrell's return to the limelight. He didn't really leave, but after his successful prior year with "Blurred Lines," "Get Lucky" and "Happy," things were unlike any other time in his career. On the night of the Grammy's, he debuted a hat that was the star of all the memes for the following months. This was also the year that Macklemore swept rap categories creating some much needed conversation regarding cultural appropriation in rap. Yikes. We forgot who even won awards. Kidding. Let's flip some pages on 2014's yearbook. – Jon Reyes and BET Staff (Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)
