First, what does Macklemore’s 2014 Grammy win for Best Rap Album over Kendrick
Lamar’s “good kid, m.A.A.d city” mean to Hip-Hop? I have to phrase it like this because
the traditional Hip-Hop Industry gurus, tastemakers, MCs, record execs, DJ, bloggers,
journalists all have come to the conclusion that Macklemore sucks and Kendrick Lamar
should have been a multiple Grammy winner. Even Macklemore has been very humble
and contrite over his expected Grammy wins [Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance
and Best Rap Song] when he said in a post Grammy interview on New York’s Hot 97:
“First and foremost, Kendrick [Lamar] is a friend of mine. He’s somebody that I
love his music and, in my opinion, had the best Rap album of the year. And knowing
how the Grammys usually go, I knew that there would be a great chance that we’d
win that award and, in essence, rob Kendrick. That’s what happened tonight. It
kind of sucks. I think we made a great album. I think that Kendrick made a better
Rap album.”…Macklemore
