Macklemore, who was the recipient of four Grammy Awards at this year’s event, says Kendrick Lamar was robbed at the award show.
Mack released a screen shot of a text message he says he sent the TDE star after the award show.
“You got robbed,” Macklemore says in the text message. “I wanted you to win. You should have. It’s weird and sucks that I robbed you.”
Mack says he hoped to address the matter during his speech, but says he was unable to when “the music started playing.” He says he “froze.”
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis won four Grammy awards, including Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song.
A complete list of Grammy winners for this year can be found here.
The caption for the image can be found below following the screenshot of the text message Macklemore posted on Instagram.
My text to Kendrick after the show. He deserved best rap album… I’m honored and completely blown away to win anything much less 4 Grammys. But in that category, he should have won IMO. And that’s taking nothing away from The Heist. Just giving GKMC it’s proper respect.. With that being said, thank you to the fans. You’re the reason we were on that stage tonight. And to play Same Love on that platform was a career highlight. The greatest honor of all. That’s what this is about. Progress and art. Thank you. #grammys
Their text message exchange follows a previous post Macklemore made showcasing their mutual respect for one another.

With all due respect…MMLP2 deserved something too.
The Grammys need to PUSH THE CUTOFF DATE BACK to Thanksgiving at the earliest (so albums which are STILL RELEVANT have a chance of winning in the year they do)
Don’t worry. MMLP2 will get some awards next year.
that wasn’t even eligible bro. came out too late.
What I’m saying is the Grammys need to move the stupid cutoff date to Thanksgiving at the earliest…if the Oscars had that cutoff date, neither 12 Years a Slave nor American Hustle nor any of the other Best Picture contenders would’ve been nominated.
the two smartasses above me are missing the fact he means mmlp2 should have been nominated this year. probably just so heist would get steamrolled by it cuz em got all the grammy voters on payola lock LOL jk
^HaHa. They polishing that grammy already for Em count on that. It dont matter who they nominate Em taking the award next time hands down. If i was a rapper id wait til after that bullshit cutoff date then drop the album to have a chance to win.
No that MMLP2 sucked. What a horrible album
Nah, MMLP2 was a great album.
Macklemore the man
Kendrick did deserve to win, but Macklemore did too. Macklemore had more hits, had a great original sound and vibe, and was very creative, but Kendrick’s album was pretty much what everyone and their momma said was missing from hip-hop these days. Had some great hits as well, amazing story telling, had a taste of new school mixed with old school too.
But i look at it like this. Kendrick didnt win the Grammy. So he has more reason to go even harder for 2014, or whenever he puts out next album. Guarantee it’ll win a Grammy.
basically the only positive from this is that Kendrick will be going even harder than ever before, which is scary.
only if he cares that much. Many hip hop artists don’t really seem to. other than kanye.
get off ye’s dick his album fuckin sucked
Why does it say 10 hours ago?
good point
I hope Kendrick will never win a Grammy. He’s one of the greatest MC’s of the 2010s and Grammy is only about ‘statistics based on record sales’ and not ‘to be soulful, artistic and touching’. Of course I wish Kenrick to make a lotta cash but I consider Grammy as the circus of sellouts.
How is it selling out if you win a Grammy? It’s not like the artists have control over it.
The Roots won a Grammy with “You Got Me”, and have made great music ever since. Are they sellouts?
Hope he don’t crossover too.
You sure did white boy,we care more about real niggas.as long as Kendrick stays real,he is more than a million grammy awards to us.
I hate macklemore wit a passion but sayin Kendrick is real? cmon we all kno that dude raps bout what he saw growin up in compton 100 yards away from his upstairs window
You’re taking this thing way too seriously. Do the grammys even matter anymore to people nowadays?
@Will Steel: When did Kendrick claim to be anything other than an observer?
“I hate macklemore wit a passion but sayin Kendrick is real? cmon we all kno that dude raps bout what he saw growin up in compton 100 yards away from his upstairs window”
how is that not real? it would be fake if he was rapping about being a blood selling dope. truth is kendrick lived a realer life than officer ricky and most of his friends
3 out of 4 awards in the rap category won by somebody who made a pop album smh kanye was right cant win going up against a white man at the grammys
Kanye didnt win bcuz his album was trash
you take anything kanye says as gospel and not ego driven? are you a puppet? kanye beat white artists twice to take out best rap album. macklemore was incredibly popular that’s why it won. did being a white rapper help him gain popularity? unfortunately probably. did they win because they are white? no.
No one’s saying Kanye should have won, but he did say you can’t win against a white man at the Grammys. What happened when Em came back, although it’s Em and he’s one of the greats, Won 2 in a row, should not have beaten the ROOTS in 2011.
Now in 2014, Macklemore has the worst album of that whole category, and is only in there because gay rights mother fuckers love them some Macklemore – Not that it’s not a worthy cause, but that’s 1 song, not an album, and it didn’t even win rap song of the year.
This whole show was bullshit.
macklemore worst album of the whole category ? are you retarted , so you’re saying that nothing was the same and yeezus were better than the heist , you haven’t even listened to the heist , you judge based of ONE fucking single. i was mad that kendrick didn’t win not even one category too but chill out , macklemore is a dope rapper , listen to his underground shit and the heist was an independent album so chill out with that commercial bullshit
1. Kendrick got robbed hands down 2. its cool that macklemore can appreciate kendricks classic even tho he had a good album and 3. it was coming down to macklemore / Kendrick and no one not drake or jayz had a chance..just bc macklemore isn’t what u find hot in rapper doesn’t mean he didn’t deserve to win that award bec truth is he had a beast album with concepts and shit no one has ever thought to do (even tho I don’t rly fuck w same love)..I still get the point. he deserves the award whether u haters agree with him music or not..its just there was a 2nd album that was better and we all know he got robbed
MAAD CITY- hood classic that even ‘white’ people loved
Heist- something white people and even some ppl in the hood loved. heist reached a bigger audience.
Let me tell you something: whoever who complains about Kendrick not winning the Grammy is a pop b_tch.
Grammy Awards is only about the Pop Music call it pop-rap, pop-rock, pop-reggae, pop-jazz, pop-country or however you want to call it but it’s being about Pop music since longet that I can remember!
The best rap album mentioned there never was really the best rap album, so who cares who won that.
Only b_tch_s who worry about mainstream and pop music cares about Grammy Awards.
if that was/is true. why even bother nominating straight rap album over the years like nas’, atcq, roots, kendrick, lupe, mos def. the list goes on.
I don’t give too much of a shit. But people complain because they are fans of the genre and would like to see it represented appropriately. Not by R&B albums like take care winning, or bad eminem albums winning because they sold alot.
To give it legitimacy.
Pretty simple.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE GRAMMYS.
GRAMMYS DONT RECOGNIZE HIPHOP & NEVER WILL.
LET IT GO, DONT OBSERVE THE GRAMMYS.
REAL HIPHOP DOESNT ACCEPT THE GRAMMYS.
ARTISTS THAT WIN IT SHOULD SMILE AND MOVE ON (EVERYONE LOVES GETTING TROPHIES)
THEY KNOW THE REAL, GRAMMYS DONT MEAN SHIT IN HIPHOP
It’s called culture appropriation, if anyone was wondering. Slowly done, subtly executed but lastingly effective. Oh and always, always be magnanimous when anyone suspects what really is happening like you have nothing to do with it.
Bottom line is dude needs a co-sign for his next project, which he will NOT be getting from anyone real. He knows this, Kendrick knows this and most of you who read this blog also know this whether you want to agree with it or not.
HIT THE THE NAIL ON THE HAMMER. THIS STATEMENT WILL BE OVERLOOKED THOUGH, BUT I’M PAYING ATTENTION.
*had to use CAPS because I’m pissed off
Well, it’s not like the grammys really matter anyway. I do not think this is as serious a matter as you people seem to make it.
could someone explain why the run the jewels album wasnt nominated?
They only do albums from mainstream artists. Killer Mike and El-P are far from mainstream.
The day El-P is nominated for a Grammy, he’s gonna freak out.
underground artists don’t get recognized by the academy, plus it was a free download.
Agreed that it should have at least got a nod though.
Okay, that’s it, the Grammy’s are no longer relevant in hip-hop after this one. It was already seen as a more commercial award than anything critical, and this right here just confirmed that 100%. Even when Drake won it you could actually make a case that Take Care was a great album critically and commercially so it wasn’t too far out there. We know no underground artist will win but since this year it’s always gone to the person who gets it right commercially and at the same time makes a great album. The roots should have won 2011, but hey, it’s Eminem.
But this is beyond blasphemy. Macklemore’s album wasn’t even in the conversation if we’re talking about who made the best album critically, he shouldn’t have even been in the conversation. Kendrick Lamar with GKMC was CLASSIC and it was commercially successful, it should have been 100% guaranteed. Betting wise, Macklemore should have been at 500/1. NWTS, commercially successful and a better album critically. Holy Grail, commercially successful, better critically. Yeezus, commercially successful (not by Ye standards), and critically brilliant.
dude, the Grammy’s rarely get it right with best rap album. Let’s not forget the biggest blunder they’ve ever had back in 98 when Puffy won over:
Biggie: Life after Death
Wu Tang: Forever
Wyclef: The Carnival
I didn’t want to go that far back as they’ve done a decent job over the last decade or so, hasn’t been a year where I thought it was totally horseshit since Ludacris in 07 when he beat Food & Liqour, and Game Theory. 98 was a crime that can never be lived down, but 2014 is just as bad, because just like in 98, every single album in that year was better, and there were albums not nominated that were far superior.
This was the Grammy’s blatantly pushing the gay rights issue onto Hip-Hop and popular culture at the expense of what’s been a great year for commercial hip-hop albums in terms of quality.
I fear that from this the quality of Hip-Hop music might decline. While fans, radio personalities, and the culture in general aren’t so keen on the Grammy’s, artists may well – at least subconsciously – take their foot off the gas a little if that’s all you need to win a Grammy.
will smith and drake also won rap grammys LOL
“I fear that from this the quality of Hip-Hop music might decline.”
I disagree with that. Actually, I think the quality of hip hip has been increasing over the past couple of years.
Kendrick is a huge part of that. He’s a real emcee, who put out one of the best albums of the past decade and it sold. He’s forcing cats to step up their lyrical game and showing it can still be successful.
Definitely disagree with “every album in the category was better”.
Yeezus was garbage (to me) and nothing about Drake or Jay’s albums were that spectacular. Kendricks was certainly better, but I didn’t think the other 3 had any originality to them in terms of content and message.
Grammy is about sales records of pop albums. Like someone mentioned it below ‘pop-rap, pop-jazz, pop-rock’ and so on…
Have you ever heard about a depressive black metal group with a Grammy? Or a Grammy for harsh noise artists? A Grammy for free jazz? And what about the ‘best experimental album’?
Don’t expect hiphop would ever play role on the Grammy. They need statistics to make the rich richer and contol the taste of the canaille.
1. The Heist was a pure underground album, completely independent, made in a basement and not pushed by any major label.
Complete opposite of Jimmy Ivine, Dr. Dre pushing GKMC.
From a pure independent, underground, hustle level TH > GKMC
2. TH had a song that became an anthem for equal rights and has social relevance for decades to come. This one song whether you agree with it or not is more profound than any single track of GKMC.
This becomes evident every single time K-Dot performs versus Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
There was way more social commentary and importance to TH over GKMC.
It is not without merit The Heist one, it perhaps was the biggest under-dog album when it was first released and no one would have imagined it would have been nominated for any awards let alone be a successful album, or be on the radio.
That being said, I personally would rather listen to GKMC over TH but I understand why TH ran the table on the rewards.
I don’t agree 100% but definitely see where you’re coming from. For an indie artist to blow up like that is pretty crazy. Props to him for his hustle.
GKMC to me is waaaaay better of an album, but I can’t knock Macklemore for not being afraid to talk about something he feels are important issues (gay rights, not wasting money on expensive bullshit brands, alcoholism).
when you cut through the bull and get down to the real issue
he’s a decent rapper and he’s white. check
He did a song about gays. double check sky rocket straight to the top.
the truth is GKMC was a way better album all the way through. no knock to macklemore
he was at the top before the song about gays blew up,
Que Lord Jamar on some racist shit in 3…2…1…
hahahahaha
Lord Jamar can only say racist shit, the Academy just DID some racist shit.
^^^ There it is. All butt-hurt because a white guy won. The Grammy’s are a fucking popularity contest. Who had more radio play? Who had more exposure? They look at all that shit. When you look at it that way it easy to see why Macklemore won
Kendrick definitely got robbed. Glad Macklemore has the humbleness to be aware of that fact.
I don’t get all the hate on Macklemore though. Dude can spit, and while his album had a handful of radio friendly singles, he came at it with a different approach.
Shit, at least his songs have some sort of message to them. Whether you agree or disagree with the message, at least he’s not just rapping about the same bullshit 90% of the popular cats are today.
That said, Good Kid Maad City was 1000x better.
Well black people. Time to make a new music genre. It’s only a matter of time before rap becomes rock, Pop, RnB and Jazz.
You can count black rockers on one hand.
RnB-Pop. From Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, R Kelly, Usher to Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke. Hun.
Kenny G ruined jazz. When was the last time you heard any Jazz played on a pop station.
Well rap. It was nice knowing ya.
Don’t forget House music and Break beats
That is the dumbest argument I’ve ever heard. Just because you can’t name more than 5 black rock artist doesn’t mean they’re aren’t a ton of them. Do you even listen to rock music?
Why would Jazz be played on a pop station? They play jazz on jazz stations. Who won the Grammy this year for Jazz…..Terri Lyne Carrington (I’ll save you the trouble of Googling her, she’s black). Kenny Garret and Christian McBride were also nominated (guess what? They’re black too).
Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye are dead, so it’s not as if they can still make music. Stevie Wonder, Prince, Usher, and R.Kelly still make music.
While you named 2 popular POP artists, you completely left out great R&B / Soul artists such as:
Musiq Soulchild
John Legend
Anthony Hamilton
Aloe Blacc
The Dream
Mary J. Blige
Jill Scott
Alicia Keys
Maxwell
India Arie
Rafael Saddiq
D’Angelo
Eryka Badu
This argument is so tired.
Ben Harper, all of TV On The Radio, the lead singer from Bloc Party, Tom Morello, the dude from Sublime, Bad Brains, Suicidal Tendencies, Cody Chesnutt, Sevendust…that’s more than one hand nigga! There are Black rockers!
Tom Morello is black? damn I been a RATM fan for over 15 years and I never knew that, he looks white no?
Morello is half/half. His dad is Kenyan.
lead singer of Killswith
Fishbone
Slash from Guns N Roses
Living Colour
Lenny Kravitz
Skinred (all black metal band)
Arthur Lee of Love
Murray Lightborn of The Dears
Gary Clark Jr.
yeah the people crying dont really know anything, they just gonna bring up elvis over and over
hahahahhaha watch black people try and pretend like they invented house music and break beats
Out of all those r&b singers you named they gave a grammy to Justin Timberlake.
grammys have always been a popularity contest dont act surprised. they let diddy win over wu-tang.
Nothing you’re arguing about takes away from the fact that hardly no black artists won unless they were in collaboration with a white artist THIS YEAR, fuck the past and anything irrelevant to this year’s awards. They fucked up point blank.
we should all cry about it and maybe they will take his awards away and give them to kanye west and jay-z
he’s doing this to supress the backlash from the hip hop community! don’t be folled! he had plenty of time to say it during his speech but he didnt want to!
fuck off he aid the same shit before he won
While I think it’s bullshit that Drake was not nominated for album of the year and did not win for rap album of the year, Macklemore deserves to be respected.
I’m no Macklemore fan, but the dude has been doing the independent hustle for years, is as classy as hell and respects hip-hop culture. I can’t hate on that.
I agree with everything you said. However, his album was no were near hip hop/rap..macklemore is hip-pop
Drake’s album didnt drop in time for the cut off date…
yes it did it was 1 of 5 nominated but wasnt even discussed like it had a chance of winning.
it was between gkmc and the heist. jay-z, kanye and drake put out turds
haha macklemore is a dope emcee…he been puttin out heat consistently, the dude changed he’s style up to go commercial…ended up sellin a mill..how can u hate on someone wanting success?? when 2chainz, the most shittiest of rappers was nominated, no one complained..Macklemore is more hip hop than him..anyway Kendrick did have the best rap album, but the Grammy’s is mainstream, you gotta be a daft to take those awards seriously
“I don’t agree 100% but definitely see where you’re coming from. For an indie artist to blow up like that is pretty crazy. Props to him for his hustle.”
Macklemore is not an indie artist. He signed to a division of Warner music. Maybe to a smaller label but he ain’t indie. Warner also promoted his singles to radio. Also, white people automatically win in hiphop.
Uh, yeah. He is independent.
Anyway you know the best rap album of last year was RA the Rugged Man-Legends Never Die..
HIP HOP GENTRIFICATION AT IT’S FINEST
Its so funny seeing how mad all these niggas are
This makes it so worth it Im gonna go buy 3 Macklemore albums and pass them out to the first colored people i see
And get your face beat in.
it will all be worth it if it gets another worthless negro off the streets
black people are generally wack and wont do shit
they’re only tough in packs
To all of you KKKracker ass honkies talking shit remember this, hip hop is and will always be a black thang . Just because Macklefag and Gay Lewis won doesn’t mean shit. It’s the streets that decides the real hip hop from the wack commercial ass crap that is being played on the radio these days. If you think that hip hop belongs to you KKKrackers, I dare you to go into any hood especially the birth place of hip hop, talk that shit and see exactly what can and will happen to you. Just remember universal as it is hip hop is first and foremost a BLACK thang and if it wasn’t for us, you people wouldn’t have a damn thang to fill your empty ass voids with!
LOL you’re a guest on the internet nigga, it will always be a white thing.
“a BLACK thang and if it wasn’t for us, you people wouldn’t have a damn thang to fill your empty ass voids with!”
If it wasnt for us you’d still be in africa dying of aids and picking cotton, true story
not to mention basketball
To all you mf’s comparing hip hop to modern day inventions that is a bad ass comparison. how can you compare an invention created by an individual to a cultural phenomenon .
I bet Lord Jamar’s hair turned a little grayer last night
Was he going off on twitter or what?
Why’s he gotta screenshot it and show it to everyone tho? That kind makes it seem like he’s scrambling to keep up an image with people that actually fuck with hip-hop, and not just gays and casual radio listeners.
because hes probably getting a lot of hate from angry people, hes being humble
The Heist is my favourite rapper of all time!! He deserved to win, I love Thrift Store!!!!
Yeezus better than The Heist.
You’re favorite rapper of all time….and you don’t even know his name?
The Heist is the album. Mackelmore is the rapper.
No, Macklemore is the title of the album and the Heist is the hiphop duo.
Lol he’s a troll fool
Oh look, a drake butthurt fan.
Man fuck macklemore. Nobody even listens to that lame shit. Not even white people. Kendrick GKMC will be talked about 20 years from now. The heist will be used as toilet paper all over America. Fuck the Grammys
dont know this mackelmore dude,,,weired shit,,grammies suck as fuck…thats why NAS and them never win this shitty award,,sucks,.wrong people in charge or they dont just understand rap or they should just remove the category
nobody listens to them but his singles went 7x platinum and 4x platinum and the album sold over 1.2 million in the USA LOLOLOL
I found Heist albums in a garbage can outside of target.
people bought it and immediately through it out?
fuck is you doing going through trash cans outside of target for anyway? looking for lunch you bum ass nigga?
I was a janitor for target, cleaning garbage cans. Who said they immediately threw them away. They listened to heist, tried to return albums cause they lost reciepts (who keeps receipts?), they couldn’t, so they threw them away.
since when do janitors sift through trash bags?
It’s bigger than that. Nobody else notices that we got the old ass Rolling Stones, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith up there looking like a crack-head with a broken zipper, and the last 2 Beatles left running around with money and comfort, fame, respect, glory, fucking royal titles from the queen and shit…. But where the fuck are all the BLACK ARTISTS they stole, copied, and took their whole style and flow from? There’s your answer why a half-hip mark like Macklemore will win if he puts forth half the effort. Everyone keeps talking about Macklemore’s “independent grind” and how he started from the bottom. Oh yeah? Research Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA), the mufti-million dollar company/major-label-owned-entity that backs him, which is backed by WARNER BROTHERS. There’s nothing “indie” or grassroots about contracting with a subsidiary of Warner Music in order to promote an artist by paying radio DJ’s to mention that artist’s name over and over to see if the branding catches on in a POP environment, so stop with that bullshit, it’s by design. (Turns up Mos Def’s “Rock N Roll”) How man of you heard these songs on Urban Radio? A Hip-Hop/Rap record without any real URBAN RADIO impact? GTFOH!
butthurt nigga alert butthurt nigga alert LMAO
“BLACK PEOPLE HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG”
WHITE GUILT STRIKES AGAIN
The Grammys is filled with gays, and macklemore supports the gay agenda, strongly, so there you go. It was odd that good kid maad city was even nominated anyway, because it came out 2012.
macklemore came out in 2012 too moron, they have cut off dates, he wasnt eligible for last years awards
Congrats to Macklemore. He has proven that white people, no matter how shitty they are, can beat out great black rappers because they are white. Same reason why rick ross wasn’t nominated once.
Rick Ross was nominated for his song from Django Unchained but besides that he wasn’t nominated because he hasn’t put out an album since GFID which was nominated last year…. think before you comment
Big deal. Rick Ross has not been nominated in the category once. Besides, why complain that rick ross lied when you don’t have similar complaints that daft punk aren’t 2 robots but 2 human idiots yet keep living that robot life.
no one is talkin about ross lying. the fact is he didnt put out anything grammy worthy this time.
kendrick lamar sounds like a chipmunk and GKMC was boring as hell
GFID was nominated for best rap album last year but lost to Drake
well i guess thats what people wanna hear cause Kendrick sold more of his 1 album in 8 months than Ross could sold of any of his albums, including the ones that are like 8 years old LOL
“kendrick lamar sounds like a chipmunk and GKMC was boring as hell”
Said by an idiotic hater with shitty music taste. Go listen to Chief Keef.
lolz rick ross sucks why would he win anything?
With all that hating on rick ross just because he wasn’t a gangster, I’m surprised no one complains that Daft Punk aren’t really robots but are 2 human idiots.
did daft punk deny that they are humans and say someone photoshopped them? did they try to cover it up until they got exposed then made up a fake ass story LOL
Thomas Bangalter once stated, “We did not choose to become robots. There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 am on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots.”
So yes, they did lie.
And who was stupid enough to believe it? NOBODY
PlusDaft Punk is not gonna get sued by real robots for stealing their names. At the most one day we might see their faces.
Freeway is a criminal. He desrves whatever came to him. Rick Ross is fine. My point is that if you’re going to give daft punk a pass, you need to give ross a pass too racist fuck.
you are the most retarded person on this website, by far
how has noone realised that Bangalter was being sarcastic?
You’re really attacking Daft Punk for being robots? Wow, you really are reaching.
hes trolling, its dentaldamboy.
he got fired from his job as YMCMB’s accountant
No i still work at ymcmb as an accountant. And when I guest accounted for rick ross, I can verify that port of miami did go platinum.
You’re lying, dentalbitch.
Hey dental, sure do miss you pal, why don’t you use your name anymore? What are you up to right now, you alone?
Kanye should of won to be truthful. If theres anybody who always takes hip hop to the next level its him. Love him or hate him.
But his album wasn’t good, not even slightly
the next level of faggotry
i’ll take the hesit over yeezus
Yes it indeed was. Way better than Daft Punk’s album.
Yeezuz was a pile of shit and by far the worst thing he’s ever made.
He should say THE ACADEMY robbed you, not Maclemore himself.
Funny because usually it’s the other way around and black people are the ones robbing white people HAHA
Black people aren’t the only race that rob others. There are a lot of white people that have robbed black people. Matter fact white people robed black people of their freedom and rights. You need to STFU and do something else with your life instead of being racist. It’s people like you who ruin this society.
How ironic is it that Kendrick got robbed by an album called ‘The Heist’?
“well i guess thats what people wanna hear cause Kendrick sold more of his 1 album in 8 months than Ross could sold of any of his albums, including the ones that are like 8 years old LOL”
His first album went platinum. On the mastermind cover art video, it said that Port of Miami went platinum. Given the time, it probably sold more than GKMC.
Port of Miami has yet to sell over a million copies, and that took his entire career. GKMC outsold POM in 6 months! FACT
It obviously sold a million because it went platinum.
“you are the most retarded person on this website, by far”
I win.
Port of Miami did not go platinum. It didn’t sell a million. That video lied to you.
Yeezus sold 635k and it’s platinum too… LOL
U mad because you can’t handle the truth? It’s just one album that went platinum so quit getting all mad. The others went gold. Rick Ross doesn’t have to go platinum again in order to have hits.
he hasnt had a hit in years to be fair
“U mad because you can’t handle the truth?”
What truth? Nothing you said is truth at all. The truth is Ross’ album did not go platinum, period.
“since when do janitors sift through trash bags?”
They were right on top of the other garbage.
Lord Jamar feeling pretty butthurt right now. That unemployed 45 year old man posting up instagram pictures of Doug cartoon characters trying to clown Mack’s hair!
Didn’t that nigga do a full frontal nude shower scene with another man? Thats actually gayer than anything Macklemore has done!
Bet you like watching that scene a lot.
I have quite the distain for Lord Jamar, but doing a performance with 30+ queers geeting married is pretty fucking gay, actually it’s the gayest thing I can even recall.
Reading is fundamental.
“Marriages will reportedly be between differnet groups of people, including people who are gay, straight, young, old and of different ethnicities and nationalities.
Among those to be married is Ryan Lewis’ sister, Laura who is currently engaged to her boyfriend, Alex.”
“Bet you like watching that scene a lot.”
never seen it before but Ashy Larry from Chappelles show was making fun of Jamar for being suspect
Why do you keep saying Jamar, when it’s actually Lamar. Please learn how to spell his name before you start hating.
Lord Jamar is correct
LMAO, his name is Lord Jamar you fucking dolt
Tasters Choice strong song that wasn’t like anything that was out there …Kendrick is the better lyricist but Maclemore is not wack in his defense..but he gets props for doing it …I wouldn’t have and let the haters hate…
Macklemore about to go 2x plat now
Macklemore about to take double penetration 2x
Lord Jamar is gayer than Macklemore, he does full nude cocks out shower scenes with men! All Macklemore did was write a song about gay marriage for his homosexual uncle.
keep hatin tho
Oh, I find them both very very homosexual, totally fucking gay the both of them.
“how has noone realised that Bangalter was being sarcastic?”
Rick Ross was also being sarcastic.
No, he wasn’t. Ross was serious as hell.
Macklemore’s got a hot butt, I wanna lick it
LOL, who the fuck listens to “Grammy” music, it is basically a Pop award.
millions of people, thats who
Oh, I don’t know of anyone who listens to that stuff, but I don’t know of a single person who listens to the radio either. I fell sorry for those folks who do though, they are truly missing out.
I dont know anyone who speaks spanish but apparently they’re out there
I am Hispanic
“You’re really attacking Daft Punk for being robots? Wow, you really are reaching.”
ALl Im doing is telling you you’re a hypocrite if you accuse ross of lying when daft punk are doing the same thing.
hope ur playin around and arent really that dumb IRL
Hope you’re playing around. You can criticize both or praise both but you can’t be a hypocrite and attack one but praise the other for the same thing.
Hate to see what you would say about Gorillaz.
Yeah, this guy’s reaching, comparing Ross to two French men who basically play the role of robots and didn’t lie about their past.
I just gave you an example of their lies, that on september 9, 1999, they became robots. YOu can either praise ross and daft punk or criticize both but not praise one and criticize the other.
Nobody’s taking Daft Punk serious about what they say, not even themselves. One other hand you used that to defend Rick False with so much conviction and passion. Sorry they made you feel sad. bwaaaah!
They didn’t lie at all, the whole robot thing is all an act. Nobody cares, though, Daft Punk focused on the music.
Pharrell seems to think they are robots.
Either praise both or criticize both. At least be logical with your hate.
Pharrell was playing along with the act. Daft Punk only do the robot thing while they’re in public. They don’t think they’re real robots.
You’re just reaching.
i never even priased daft punk, i dunno where u got that
Either you’re a really good troll or you’re really stupid.
i think its a little of both, his stupidity is what makes him such a good troll but the one guy keeps going back and forth with him like he actually thinks he can prove him wrong.
no you are, no you are, no you are,
“he hasnt had a hit in years to be fair”
Rick Ross had a gold hit with No new friends. He hasn’t released official singles from mastermind yet, only promo singles.
not his song. only a hit because of Drake
stop talkin about Ross he has nothing to do with this years Grammys
Devil Is A Lie is an official single.
It was his song indeed. Ross had a huge hit with No New Friends.
Devil is a lie is a promo single that promotes the album.
No, it wasn’t his song. It was Drake’s song and it peaked at #38 on the Billboard charts, not a huge hit. And no, DIAL is not a promo single.
“Devil Is A Lie is an official single.”
and it officially flopped
It went gold. That’s more than what you can say of nas’s recent singles. And technically, DJ Khaled headlined it but with ross being prominent, its his song too. DIAL is indeed a promo single. There’s no video for it.
Nas never make hit singles.(reason he isn’t on the radio much) last hit single was if I rule the world. But all of Nas’ albums went platinum, platinum plus or Gold. Not bad for someone who doesn’t get radio luv.
Rick Ross never sold a million and he is on the radio more then anybody.
yeah, wanted k dot to win the best rap album too, but i kinda had a feeling that macklemore was gonna be the real winner, so i can’t say i’m surprised.. mack does have talent and the heist was a cool album, just liked good kid more though..
Word! Both good albums but Kendrick’s GKMC was on another level. Should have been his. It’s all just a damn popularity contest.
LOL Hip Hop might have BEEN a black thing but we own that shit now! HAHA! Just like we own all you dumb asses too! Now go and buy some more $150 Jordan’s idiots so I can get paid! Black people are the most easily manipulated people by the media. Stay struggling!
It’s great to see our people getting robbed by the white guys for once. Usually we’re the ones doing all the robbing.
“Pharrell was playing along with the act. Daft Punk only do the robot thing while they’re in public. They don’t think they’re real robots.”
Same thing with rick ross. He’s a family man in private and a gangster in public. Yet you praise daft punk and criticize rick ross for the same reason.
cant fix stupid
He was also an officer of the law, he can’t saw that he never was, which he has. He’s a liar & a fraud, you can’t be a cop & a gangster.
He was a CO turned gangster in public. I never said he was both. and what’s wrong with being a CO?
Yeah, it’s not that bad, hey pal, what are you wearing? PLMK
Seriously, what are you rcokin today, would love to know.
I hate how easily you give up when being counter trolled.
Hip hop is all white now!!!!!!
Hell yeah, Beyonce was killin it for the Whites last night
Was super dope to see Kendrick come this far even if he didn’t win. How many kids from Compton can say they rocked the stage at the Grammys!!!!
Rap must be at an all time low because y’all are going back and forth over 2 overrated albums like “The Heist and GKMC when those 2 albums are nowhere even near as good any of the Grammy nominees from the 1990s.
Nominees from the 90s-
1996 Naughty by Nature Poverty’s Paradise !Poverty’s Paradise
* 2Pac Me Against the World
* Bone Thugs-n-Harmony E 1999 Eternal
* Ol’ Dirty Bastard Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
* Skee-Lo I Wish
1997 Fugees The Score !The Score
* 2Pac All Eyez On Me
* A Tribe Called Quest Beats, Rhymes & Life
* Coolio Gangsta’s Paradise
* LL Cool J Mr. Smith
1998 Puff Daddy and the Family No Way Out !No Way Out
* Missy Elliott Supa Dupa Fly
* Wyclef Jean Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival
* The Notorious B.I.G. Life After Death
* Wu-Tang Clan Wu-Tang Forever
1999 Jay-Z Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life !Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life
* A Tribe Called Quest The Love Movement
* Big Punisher Capital Punishment
* Jermaine Dupri Life in 1472
* Mase Harlem World
Hell, even Harlem World, Life in 1472, No Way Out, The Carnival and I Wish are commercial as hell but more enjoyable than those 2 albums.
LMAO he said Skee-Lo’s album is better than Kendricks.
no one waste your time responding to him.
Harlem World, Life in 1472 etc.? GTFO! GKMC is way better than that 90’s Shiny Suit Rap!
I agree with Beat Rhymes and Life and few others being better albums, definitely none of that 90’s sellout bullshit though. You’re hating.
You’re another one of those dudes who is just stuck in the 90’s. First off, fuck Puffy, and anything he’s ever done. GKMC beats that, so fuck you on that one. Why are you trying to give us a history lesson. Macklemore DID NOT deserve to win. Who gives a fuck who was nominated back in the 90’s? Anybody who truly likes hip hop already knows that the 90’s are the golden age of Hip Hop bruh. Skip forward to 2014 tho. Let’s talk about how Macklemore shouldn’t have even been nominated, let alone win, and then beating out GKMC (which is the best hip hop album made in the last 10 years, at least) just adds insult to injury, and it also shows that Grammy awards are more irrelevant than we had originally thought they were.
Wow No Way out was a fucking classic I don’t give a fuck if Diddy did that album. One of the best albums. GKMC would be great in any era. Especially the 90s cause that the feel the album brings. But I can’t let you nerds insult No Way out. That shit was a classic no matter how you put. Harlem World was mad commercial but still great. I wouldn’t say that it was better then GKMC. Double up was actually better.
For my stuck in the 90s niggas. lol I guess im one of them cause I listen to 90s rap more then todays music.
Not saying its better then GKMC. But Double up was a deep ass album. Mase left the game and didn’t even promote the Album. People kinda shitted on the Album but overall that shit was a great album.
FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD, NASTY NAS SAYS HIP-HOP AIN’T DEAD
“It’s going where it’s supposed to be going in 2014. It’s going in a great direction,” Nas said when asked about the state of hip-hop. “Mac Miller is my man. [Who’s killing it now?] [Drake]. Kendrick [Lamar]. J. Cole. It’s a couple good fellas out there that I’m feeling.”
A ‘couple’ means 2. He mentioned more than 2 artists eg. he knows its bullshit but he already got RAILROADED when he said Hip Hop is Dead. True or not we killed the messenger and turned NASSIR JONES into a Jay Z (Barneys fanboy) label chasing apology. Out of all the bs out now, the people he named at least lull you to sleep while you’re dying and choking and gasping on the bile and sh## trying to escape your flesh because even THAT cant withstand the sonic assault and torture by this new era of SO CALLED NI##AS and SO CALLED RAPPERS. Think about it.
You can fucking cuss here, you look dumb editing that shit nigga
Never heard Macklemore’s album and think his singles all suck but reading these angry comments makes me smile. People take these awards too seriously.
I recall a lot of outrage last year when the half white jewish canadian won over Nas but people got over it.
The Grammys are never fair and always racist untill your favorite rappers wins.
Rap fans are really the biggest contradictions.
My favorite rappers aren’t Pop artist so they are never at the Grammys
Styles P
styles is one of my favs too.
Macklemore is exploiting the gay community.
No, he’s not he is being a voice for us on a platform that we can’t seem to reach. He’s our hero!
why macklemore felt he needed to post this to the world is beyond me. As long as he’s cool with kendrick and told him whats up (just between them) then it’s fine. SMH at everybody posting things for the world to see these days
Everyone wants that credit
he probably did it to make people hate on him a little less but it didnt work clearly
Not really a fan of any of the artists nominated, but truth be told, all of them had better albums then Macklemore. Macklemore is a basic level rapper with an average flow, and a horrible producer. I can’t name one song on their album I enjoyed. And I’m not blind “hater”. Go listen to all of those albums and tell me their album was the best with a straight face. It wasn’t even the most commercially successful album in the group….So how the fuck did it win?
Gentrification is occurring in hiphop and R&B right now, as well as most forms of American entertainment. 2013 was the first year in the history where there where no black people in the Billboard Top 100. R&B and hiphop were represented, of course, just not by black people. Now this terrible artist gets a Grammy at the start of 2014. Then in 2015, we all know who’s going to win…Eminem.
It’s like white people supported blacks for a while, but were only doing it to learn our culture and take it for themselves. Now that they have some white people in position, these are the guys they’re going to support now. The most popular rappers are Eminem and Macklemore and the most popular R&B singers are Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber. Aint that some shit? I never thought I would see the day when something like this happened. I wouldn’t be surprised if most artists in our genres are white in 20 years. I’m not impressed
Took the words out of my soul and off my heart. Thank you.
You sound like a couple dumb negroes, relax guys, it’s Pop music, these are all Pop artists, even Eminem, sure he still tries to make it hiphop sometimes but we see through that shit, fuck Pop music.
LOLOL The Heist was better than Yeezus
Don’t forget Miley Cyrus, love that White booty. Lil’ Debbie is the ivory goddess of choice though! I ain’t really mad at the White women who are taking over.
They are disgusting vile little hobbittses
Drake is the biggest rapper in the game. Not Em, or Mack. The R&B shit is pretty spot on but u can’t forget bout beyonce. Do you suppose if I’m white i should put a wall up and say ok I’m never going to touch this music. No, sorry. It wouldn’t be cool if country artists or folk artist said “this is our music, you can’t touch it”. You see, it works both ways. Regardless of race, if you hear something that catches your ear, your going to fuck with it. Maybe by listening, maybe by trying to recreate, maybe by trying to progress. But you motherfuckers who say white people should stay out and not push agendas, are LITERALLY like white people in the mid 1900’s wit corperate power saying “no these blacks can’t progress this country (music) for themselves, because we created corperate america (hip-hop music) and now were not going to let you run in whatever direction you want with it (diversity-macklemore in music). I hope someone learned something
Drake is not the biggest rapper. Eminem’s last two albums did more then Drake’s last two albums and Macklemore is platinum on an indie, so he probably made much more off album sales then Drake did. A black rapper could never sell that much on an indie and Drake will never have the kind of success Eminem had. btw the Only reason he has the success that he has now is because he’s half white. He could do the same music and be a couple of shades darker and not sell half as much.
You bringing up country and folk as an example of white music proves my point EXACTLY. Most genres of music have been bastardized to the point where we don’t even know they were created by black people. Most history in general has been revised and painted white. This is why it’s a problem when white people are only supporting white artists. It has nothing to do with the mean old black people trying to kick you out of hiphop. It’s about white people trying to kick US OUT. It’s about not feeding into white supremacy and letting them continue to do this bullshit to us. I’m not impressed
Nothing new.
The Grammy voters are white so I’m sure they could relate to one of their own better than someone outside of their culture, I know it’s considered a great honor for musicians to be recognized by the Grammys but who the fuck wants their music validated by some old white people anyway, we have our own awards.
your own awards no one cares about!!
how do you know there are no black people on the committee
?
My brother is a collie for the grammy committee, he said that there is no black people on the committee.
liar liar pants on hot fiyah
I worked with a Dylan a while back, the kid always had boogers in his nose, crusty ones
Actually Macklemore said that he got a ballot to vote for the the awards…. I would assume all the other nominees got to vote as well.
Nothing funnier than pissed off black people LOLOLOL
It is rather humorous, I hate Macklemore also & the fact that he won but who cares, I don’t even listen to any of that shit.
Awesome bro, can I fuck her in the butthole & then finish in her mouth? She can work from her laptop the whole time.
Kendrick didn’t win anything lol
lbum sales are still gonna go up though,
Grammy’s don’t really matter. Nas was 0 for 13, yet still had the impact of illmatic along with his other acclaimed work.
Did nas get a grammy for writing that will smith song?
YES
Smith won two Grammy Awards in the Best Rap Solo Performance category for the songs “Men in Black”, in 1997, and “Gettin’ Jiggy wit It”, in 1998, making him the only artist in history to receive two Grammys from this category for two songs from the same album. Nas was also a co-writer on this album with Smith. He is credited under his real name, Nasir Jones, and worked on five songs on the album, including the hit singles “Miami” and “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It”
“GKMC outsold POM in 6 months! FACT”
Yet Ross does more collabo’s, has more money, and more albums than Kendrick can ever dream of having. FACT.
And more badges?
Kendrick never made niggas bend over to search their bootys for drugs though like bitch tits did for a living. Thats winning.
1. Kendrick raps most of his songs solo. That’s winning enough. Collaborations actually hurts your credibility.
2. K Dot will have more money if he continues to make acclaimed albums.
3. Quality over quantity. And with ross’s health, k dot will ahve more albums than ross at this rate.
“he hasnt had a hit in years to be fair”
To be fair neither has 50.
Neither has MC Hammer
why u constanly bring that washed up nigga up like he matters in 2014. no ones talking about that bum on here but you
50 or Hammer? Please Hammer Don’t Hurt Em!

“It’s a blessing and a curse, a little bit more the curse,” Mack said in an interview. “When we were at the nominations [event] and the nominations come out, first and foremost, Kendrick is a friend of mine. He’s somebody that I love his music and in my opinion has the best rap album of the year and knowing how the Grammys usually go, I knew there was a great chance we would win that award and in essence rob Kendrick. That’s what happened [last] night. It kinda sucks. I think we made a great album, I think that Kendrick made a better rap album and that’s what it is. … What makes it awkward for me is that you never want to be the person that is robbing somebody else and I think if you look at what the Grammys are, I think that people don’t understand is that what the Grammys are, are a bunch of people that are on the Grammy committee on in the industry, they get a ballot and I got a ballot this year. As I’m filling out the ballot, I’m realizing I don’t know much outside the genre of hip-hop in terms of what should get what award.”
Is Macklemore saying that the nominees get to vote? Thats what it sounded like in this from Hot 97
I think he got a ballot because of his CEO role of his label. Or something. Could be.
so that would mean Jay-Z and Kanye get to vote too I assume.
Most Talented Wordsmiths in HipHop history (no order)
Big L
Papoose
Inspectah Deck
Eminem
awwwyeahhh
Deck allllll day.
But who is Big L?
jks.
Macklemores performance was sickening. And why does he think he has to show the world his private text to Kendrick? Loves getting attention
Sickening? LOL
Brought out Madonna. Standing ovation bruh. Had people crying.
Disgusting fag ceremony
The three above me can STFU.
Rick Ross will get a grammy next year for mastermind.
they never gonna give that C.O. a grammy but he might win an Oscar for his performance as Rick Ross
Weird thing is that while you complain about rick ross stealing freeways name, nas was doing the same thing with escobar and called himself nas escobar, yet you never complain.
LMAO! That was good second Anonymous.
comparing nas escobar to a prison guard stealing a brothers government name while he was locked up? you cant be that foolish
Nas haven’t called himself Escobar since The Firm, so that’s a reach considering he stopped. Williams Roberts should stop also.
What did you think of The Firm album?
Biggie called himself Frank White, 2Pac called himself Makaveli. Shit Jayz and Kanye name their selfs after gods. What the point nerd.
Ross is never getting a Grammy.
since he know in his heart he didn’t win then he need to leae that grammy in a box
he should just give that one to kenny, he won like 4 of em anyway
Macklemore bringing that real indie hip-hop back to the mainstream!!!!
“The most popular rappers are Eminem and Macklemore and the most popular R&B singers are Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber. Aint that some shit?”
Drake is the biggest rapper in the game. Not Em, or Mack. The R&B shit is pretty spot on but u can’t forget bout beyonce.

No fucks given. I know Kendrick, deserved to win, but what would you expect from an event like the Grammy’s . The more emotional fretting you do about it the worse it will be. If you really believe that a change should occur than do something about it. i expected this outcome anyway.
exactly!
Attention black people. Its time to stopped being surprised by what happens or is done among the dominant society. The more we hissy fit in their presence the more they secretly chuckle at us. Got off your ass and create something equitable and of artistic integrity that WE OWN. Its cool to be pissed but dont show weakness in front of your enemy. you gotta TAKE SHIT in this aristocratic modern day ROME. They can keep dissin us at award shows and what can we do. nothin if u aint an owner
ROFLMAO yeah tell em
your comment validates my point completely
Yall do realize this is a White HipHop website right. Go to XXL or Source. Its a bunch of trolls on this site trust. White folks pretending to be blacks.(wiggas)
You can say all you want about go out and do this and do that. Its a reason why Artist with a positive message don’t get record deals. Its a reason why they sign the same tired act over and over and the only great music from Hip Hop comes from the underground.(with the exception of a few) Its because they wan’t black artist(like Lil Wayne) who gives nothing to the coulture to look dumb. And now they make it seem like Macklemore has some brand new message or something like that. Its sort of like when Jason Collins came out the closet. But Macklemore aint gay tho. I won’t expect you sheep to understand that.
all the homos voted for Macklemore.. thats alot of homos
imagine having 1000 unread texts hahahhaha
all saying ‘congrats bro’, ‘can i borrow $2000?’
All this misplaced hate. Yal do realize Macklemore himself in no way shape or form was the deciding factor on winning the Grammy? Sure he made popular music which accounted for the votes but he’s not the committee that voted. I’m floored by the misconception that he’s the one who decided he should win a Grammy.
Misplaced hate from an ignorant country where everyone thinks they’re a critic and pop culture outweighs any other news.
He’s a gay fag
” but he’s not the committee that voted. ”
actually he said he was!
” What makes it awkward for me is that you never want to be the person that is robbing somebody else and I think if you look at what the Grammys are, I think that people don’t understand is that what the Grammys are, are a bunch of people that are on the Grammy committee on in the industry, they get a ballot and I got a ballot this year. As I’m filling out the ballot, I’m realizing I don’t know much outside the genre of hip-hop in terms of what should get what award.”
Macklemore is trippin, he should be proud of that award, Kendrick is all hype, dude is not a star at all, he does not make hit music, Dr.Dre hit it big with snoop and Eminem, but I feel with Kendrick, Dr. Dre is forcing the world to like him, Kendrick can rap and all, but he is no star,plus the greats didn’t win grammys also, 2pac,Big,Nas, don’t have grammys and those 3 are considered top 5 ever.
You’re an absolute IDIOT!
someone gotta poo poo
nas got a grammy for writing will smiths grammy award winning song and album
“Dr. Dre is forcing the world to like him, Kendrick can rap and all, but he is no star,”
No ones forcing anyone to like him. He also had a huge following before the Dre co-sign.
If you saw his performance last night you wouldn’t be saying he’s not a star. He had the whole building moving. Pretty dope for a good kid from compton.
Melo, I completely agree and have been sayin’ it for a while now. Kendra Lamar (yes, I said Kendra) is being hyped up and force fed to the masses. It’s kinda funny because this clown really just came outta nowhere and now all these wannabe bandwagon hip-hop fans are screaming “GOAT”, fuck outta here with that bullshit. Dude wack as fuck if you really think about it. There’s nothing great about him. He looks like a fag, his flow is wack and annoying, the beats he rhymes over are wack as fuck and did I mention he looks like a fag? We can’t have fags running around in the game and destroying hip-hop culture, period!
Somebody has insecure hating issues.
I love Kendrick dude is the best thing since slice bread when it comes to this rap shit, but Dr Dre did hype the kid up. He did have a big following before Dre but nothing nowhere this close. People from Lady Gaga to others was promoting him also.
But you say that like if Dre or Kendrick did something wrong. That’s how the game goes.
stupid niggas posting stupid opinions. all day err day.
And you comment was the dumbest one.
uptil I looked at the check that said $5477 , I have faith …that…my neighbours mother could actualey bringing in money in there spare time from their laptop. . there sisters neighbour had bean doing this 4 only twenty one months and resantly took care of the mortgage on their villa and bought a great Acura . hop over to here… http://www.Fb39.Com
This and Queens of the stone age with trent rezor, dave grohl and the fleetwood mac girl
Homo Hop
Macklemore was always gonna win. He has the entire gay community in his backpocket. And a lotta white girls. Kendrick got white girls on his side but nowhere near the level Macklemore has. it was always a wrap.
A committee decides on the votes. It isn’t a fan vote competition.
His point exactly a bunch of fags and white bitches.
“A committee decides on the votes. It isn’t a fan vote competition.
Macklemore himself said that nominees have the opportunity to fill out a ballot and vote
Yo you gotta respect it. I can’t think of one rapper who wasn’t this successful without some kind of gimmick behind him. These dudes are independent doing it this big. I respect it. I don’t respect the whole what if I was gay approach but that shit worked out like crazy for them. To bad it didn’t work for Lil B.(Album was called “I’m Gay”) They got a little message thru out their songs, most urban cats like myself can’t relate to but the music they make sounds decent, and Macklemore flow is solid enough to hear a whole song with him.
Macklemore isn’t fucking wack. Lets get that straight. Dude might be softer then Baby shit, but he is aight. I heard a lot worst. His commercial songs is what got them here and I like they commercial songs more then a lot of bullshit I hear on the radio. Well I ain’t feeling that Same Love shit. I can’t relate to that type of shit. I never felt like I would like another man and can’t relate to someone who says what if I was gay(blah blah blah) Sheep don’t see it but it was a gimmick and Gay seems to be cool in todays society. It worked can’t knock it.
With that said, Kendrick should have won hands down. I wasn’t surpised that Nas(LIG) didn’t win over drake.(tho I thought Nas would win for sure) But Kendrick for a major label debut, his album is as impressive as anybody who made a classic. The buzz was so crazy. For a Hip Hop Album Macklemore know himself Kendrick should win. Cause he knows Kendrick shit was a modern day classic.(fuck that, shit would be a classic in the 90s or any era)
If you can’t see that real hip hop was robbed the last two years for sure, you’re just not a fan of the music.
real hiphop been getting robbed for years
like when puffy beat out wu-tang
bruh u jumpin all over the place. u like macklemore & respect him but he’s gimmicky with the gay shit but he not gimicky. and then u say kendrick shouldve won but macklemore is good. then u say sheep cant see that same love was a gimiick but they dont have agimmick. u dum as fuck
Yo, you dumb as fuck. I said Macklemore ain’t wack. He is just a gimmick. Where in my comments did I say Same Love wasn’t a gimmick. Can you fucking comprehend. Point is Kendrick should have won(Macklemore said it himself) if this is a hip hop award. Macklemore ain’t wack but that same love is a gimmick. Got it Yo-Gotti or should I say Yo-Dumbass.
Yea I do respect what he did. Dude is an independent artist selling millions. That’s what I respect. And I don’t think he is wack. He is just a gimmick.
If you bought GKMC, maybe saw a show with Kendrick in it, bought some Kendrick merch and told your friends about Kendrick and they bought some shit then you did your part as a fan. You supported an artist you liked and even helped fund their career. Why the fuck do you care if that artist wins a Grammy? Are you them? If they make music you enjoy that should be enough. Let them worry about a political award that never goes to deserving candidates.
I’m upset because he deserved the exposure and there was absolutely no competition. It just proves the Grammy’s are a popularity contest, just like when Take Care beat Undun. Granted, Kendrick still killed the performance and got some new fans off that.
And you think Kendrick knows you exist or cares about you? He just sees fans as atms.
Just like all rappers and singers.
Im sure legions of fans look at GKMC as this geberations Illmaticand thought ut wiuld win a Grammy but seriiuslly the Grammy commitee are whites who can relate y to Maclemire
Im not surprise that K-Dot got snub for album of the year….after all they robbed NAS last year for the same category…That’s why i don’t watch that BULLSHIT
HipHOp belong to the Whites how do i know it the Grammys awards show it
Why is everyone now hating on macklemore? True, I thought K Dot should have won but at least Heist was better than the other 3 albums. While not cohesive and inconsistent, there are still plenty of good tracks on the album like same love and can’t hold us.
wadda faggot
Who’s a fagot? Me or macklemore? We’re not even gay. What’s your problem with gay people?
theyre gay!!
Kdot’s hype died down thanks to Macklemore. Based on that alone, the right artist won.
Not true.
if anything macklemore is bringing more hype to kendrick by saying his grammy award should have been given to someone else
yeah macklemore won! What do you expect? its the fuckin GRAMMYs!

Just take a good look at that picture with those 2 white homo’s. You would never think those clowns were rappers. Hip-hop is slowly but surely being turned into some other kind of genre, right before our eyes. It’s funny because the Euro hip-hop fans seem to know what’s up, what’s good and what’s not good. For some reason, Americans don’t have a fuckin’ clue and are getting brainwashed and force fed bullshit music. You have the right to keep eatin’ it tho. Just makin’ a point. E’z up!
have you seen what the black rappers are wearing these days? its actually worse. they dressing like white teenage skater kids. not to mention all the negros wearing skirts
Laughing at you guys crying over this while Mack and K. Dot dgaf and are boys
smh .. they figure us blacks have the BET and MTV awards we do not need the grammys smh .. nothing new .. good shit K-Dot.. you got my vote..
LOL @ BLACKS HAVING MTV AWARDS
people who talk like “us blacks” or “us whites” are the problem period.
Yea cause when it comes to online dudes, its more like Us nerds and us Geeks. To bad you nerds aint the smart type
This Big Bang nigga talk a lot of shit behind the safety of a keyboard. Gettin online sayin nerd this geek that. That make you feel tough? I know you a chump ass nigga in real life.
@Skool 4 Fags With that comment I know you one of them Geeks I be talking about.
you can agree or disagree. but Macklemore is not hip hop in my eyes. he’s more rap pop. He can rap no doubt, but he’s more like Katy Perry singing over a Juicy j beat. for the pure Hip hop heads.. K-Dot should of won it hands down. but hey it was the grammys ..
Macklemore is pretty tanned, dunno why they calling him white. Idiots!
believe me his dick is white cuz it stays out the sunlight in your ass.
Loved Macklemore since his album in 97′, I remember bumpin’ Time Moves Slower in Heaven for at least a week straight! It’s a classic album!
The homosexual agenda now have Rap poster boys to further their agenda.
they had lil wayne, kanye, asap rocky and drake for year tho… lol
At least he said it and it doesn’t look like black people are hating because honestly Kendrick is the shit and Mack is not even on my radar. I’m glad that he knows why he is where he is because of his skin and not talent. As far as the gay thing,I don’t endorse it, is not what nature intended. Gay animals are considered defective, I suggest we take the same outlook. The purpose of sex besides the fact it feels good is reproduction. That alone proves that homosexualality is unnatural.
why wasnt box chevy nominated for song of the yr????
It tanked.
It was just a promo single.
Is that what you call all songs that flopped?
Promo singles usually don’t chart well.
Keep making excuses for songs that tanked.
And keep making excuses against ross everytime he has a hit
What excuses? And Ross hasn’t had a hit since 2010.
1. The Heist was a pure underground album, completely independent, made in a basement and not pushed by any major label.
Complete opposite of Jimmy Ivine, Dr. Dre pushing GKMC.
From a pure independent, underground, hustle level TH > GKMC
2. TH had a song that became an anthem for equal rights and has social relevance for decades to come. This one song whether you agree with it or not is more profound than any single track of GKMC.
This becomes evident every single time K-Dot performs versus Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
There was way more social commentary and importance to TH over GKMC.
It is not without merit The Heist one, it perhaps was the biggest under-dog album when it was first released and no one would have imagined it would have been nominated for any awards let alone be a successful album, or be on the radio.
That being said, I personally would rather listen to GKMC over TH but I understand why TH ran the table on the rewards.
LMAO kids really dont kno shit anymore. Pure independent? He signed ADA a branch of WARNER MUSIC GROUP to distribute the ENTIRE ALBUM. Thats not even close to independent. Damn fools believin what the industry wants them to believe
haters mad their fav rapper didnt think of paying a major label to distribute their shit
macklemore making more money than rick ross but you dont see him flaunting it in everyones faces
dude i hate rick ross. n my fav rapper is TECH N9NE he is what independent really is. Did it by spitting fire track after track on fire album after fire album. Not by payin off labels n havin a literal “gay gimmick” to sell records.
Juicy J about to have his 1st no. 1 hit with dark horse.
Yet he had to sell out and be on a Katy Perry song in order to get a #1.
If anyone is selling out, its katy perry. Her last single disappointed when it peaked at only no. 14. Therfore, they knew juicy j was hot so they released that collaboration and its about to be no. 1, thanks to juicy j.
Nope, it’s the other way around. Katy already had a #1 hit with Roar and if this was just a Juicy J song, it would tank. Dark Horse is Katy Perry’s song, it’d be successful without Juicy J.
Juicy J is basically a one-hit wonder. Not counting songs where he’s a featured artist, his only Top 40 hit is Bands A Make Her Dance, his other singles didn’t do well.
Which is why its hiliarious that unconditionally disappointed. Because Katy had plenty of hits before. But there’s a saying that you’re only as successful as your last hit and that single struggled. There’s a reason why they went with dark horse as the next single and not one of her solo singles. Dark Horse, without juicy j, may have been around no.40 without juicy j.
How can a pop star like Katy Perry be a sellout?
“Which is why its hiliarious that unconditionally disappointed. Because Katy had plenty of hits before. But there’s a saying that you’re only as successful as your last hit and that single struggled.

This is all a lie that even you don’t believe. Katy doesn’t need help making hits. She can fart out a #1 single. Dark Horse would be successful without Juicy J. Also, that saying is a pile of shit made up by ADHD-having kids and is not true at all.
Bounce it went gold so it was also a hit. A slow burner but a hit. And Juicy J was more of an album seller than a single seller. That acclaim obviously helped him when dark horse came out. Katy Perry begged him to help her out since her last single tanked by her standards. It’s like when Kesha suddenly bombed with cmon and crazy kids. She sold out and appeared on a dope pitbull song.
That’s dentalbitch above me. He’s known to hide behind names.
Chris wouldn’t say any of this bullshit. Stop stealing people’s names, dentalboy. Your entire comment is all a lie.
“This is all a lie that even you don’t believe. Katy doesn’t need help making hits. She can fart out a #1 single. Dark Horse would be successful without Juicy J. Also, that saying is a pile of shit made up by ADHD-having kids and is not true at all.”
I love how you don’t even mention that unconditionally disappointed. She obviously needs help if she continues to struggle. Dark Horse would barely go gold without Juicy J. Quit hating on him just because he’s having his 1st no. 1 hit.
I know its not really a hiphop question but Unconditionally did disappoint by katy perry standards where she usually goes no. 1, almost always goes top 3, yet it peaked out at no. 14. Any reason why it disappointed?
How does it feel everytime you or your circlejerk buddies steals my name?
How is making the Top 20 a disappointment? She ain’t struggling at all and she doesn’t need help. Dark Horse would still sell a lot without Juicy J. And it’s actually a pity that his first #1 hit will be from a pop song where he’s not the lead artist. At least other rappers’ first #1 singles aren’t shitty pop songs where they’re not even the lead artist. Dude sold out big time.
Like Chris Bitch said, its a disappointment when her past songs usually go no.1. Perry’s falling off and needed juicy j to help her. So what if Juicy J gets only one verse, his verse is the only way radio stations are going to play that otherwise crappy song. He didn’t sell out, SHE DID!!
One Top 20 single and all of a sudden, she’s falling off and needs help? That’s stupid. She’s doing fine. She doesn’t need the help. The song is gonna do well thanks to HER, not HIM. The radio stations will play anything from Katy Perry, they don’t care about Juicy J. His verse is unimportant and not necessary; some radio stations actually edit out his verse. Dude only has one hit. And, no. She’s not selling out, Juicy J is selling out for doing this pop song. Katy Perry can’t sell out, she’s a pop star.
Isn’t it funny that Juicy J can’t get a hit song by himself? He always has to be featured on someone else’s shit or, in the case of Bands A Make Her Dance, has to get another artist on his shit.
Radio stations play a lot of crappy music. They don’t care about the quality as long as they get ratings.
Shoutout to the dude below me for talking to himself
“One Top 20 single and all of a sudden, she’s falling off and needs help? That’s stupid. She’s doing fine. She doesn’t need the help. The song is gonna do well thanks to HER, not HIM. The radio stations will play anything from Katy Perry, they don’t care about Juicy J. His verse is unimportant and not necessary; some radio stations actually edit out his verse. Dude only has one hit. And, no. She’s not selling out, Juicy J is selling out for doing this pop song. Katy Perry can’t sell out, she’s a pop star.”
So then tell me why is unconditionally disappointing with the radio? Why didn’t it do as well as her past hits? Katy Perry sold out to release a hiphop song just to gain back relevance. It did well DESPITE katy perry, not because of her. Juicy J did fine with his own singles on the hiphop charts.
Unconditionally did well everywhere, it wasn’t a disappointment. Katy Perry didn’t sell out and did not make a hip-hop song. She made a pop song like all of her songs and Juicy J is just a featured artist, he’s not the reason why this song is doing well, Katy Perry is. Again, he’s a one-hit wonder.
Dark Horse is the farthest thing from a hip-hop song.
Unconditionally was a disappointment if it didn’t make the top 3 or even top 10 like Perry usually does. Now answer the question on why it disappointed Accept the fact that she’s fallen off dickrider. It’s a hippop song with the only redeeming feature being Juicy J’s verse. He’s the reason why people are listening to the song. Katy Perry’s washed up and when her next single comes out, she’ll either bomb or have to have an appearance by drake or fagklemore in order to be relevant.
It ain’t a disappointment if it made the Top 20. I’m not dickriding anyone, I’m just stating the truth. Katy Perry has not fallen off, Dark Horse is a terrible pop song with no redeeming values, Juicy J is not the reason why people listen to the song, Katy’s not washed up, and her next single (if she puts one out) will sell just like the other singles, she doesn’t need rappers to make hits, rappers come to her for hits.
Right now, you’re too busy slurping on macklemore’s dick but by the time your fag ass comes back to reality, katy perry will have been washed up, on the verge of getting dropped, while juicy j will be considered a top rapper. Hell he’s already won an oscar for hustle and flow.
I didn’t even say anything about Macklemore, you moron. Katy’s still one of the biggest pop stars of the world, she’s not washed up and will never be dropped with the hits she makes. Also, Juicy J will never be considered a top rapper.
My girlfriend suddenly lost interest in katy perry a few months ago but came back only because of juicy j’s verse.
That’s a lie.
“Isn’t it funny that Juicy J can’t get a hit song by himself? He always has to be featured on someone else’s shit or, in the case of Bands A Make Her Dance, has to get another artist on his shit.”
Juicy J has the same fanbase as wayne, 2 chainz, wale, treysongz, ymcmb and mmg. He can have a hit on his own if they released a solo single.
What fanbase, the urban fanbase? Besides, those other artists you named have more hits than Juicy J. Dude only has one hit song.
Juicy J is a solo newcomer. If he releases a solo single, he will have a hit.
^ bahahhahaha juicy j only has 1 hit song??? u must b a 14 yr old LMAO dude is a livin legend apart of 3 6 mafia. Hard out here for a pimp won an OSCAR(2nd ever rap song 2 win 1 behind Lose Yourself). U just single handily lost all credibility when speakin on HIP HOP
“If he releases a solo single, he will have a hit.”
Nope. If he does release a solo single (keyword IF), it’ll flop.
@Will $teel
I’m only talking about Juicy J as a solo artist. As a solo artist, he’s basically a one-hit wonder.
yea but fuck da mainstream anyways. Stay Trippy was full of bangers. Plus his mixtape BLUE DREAM & LEAN is a fuckin classic. He put SpaceGhostPurrp(b4 A$AP even did) on twice n both songs r anthems. It just shows he cares bout the underground way more than these pop rappers
Either dentalboy’s talking to himself or some numbskull doesn’t realize he’s a troll.
“I didn’t even say anything about Macklemore, you moron. Katy’s still one of the biggest pop stars of the world, she’s not washed up and will never be dropped with the hits she makes. Also, Juicy J will never be considered a top rapper.”
I expect this from a fag. TOo busy thinking about dick and being a bitch ass whenever your told that your favorite artist is wack.
You’re the real bitch ass fag here, talking about dicks. And you got it bvackwards, your favorite artist(s) are wack.
*backwards*
Bitch ass fag? What about when you sucked 10 dicks at once?
“What about when you sucked 10 dicks at once?”
You sucked 10 dicks at once? You really are a fag.
Hey idiot. Ever thought of sucking macklemore’s dick? Why even reply to me?
Why is Macklemore’s dick on your mind? Keep that to yourself.
HipHopDX’s comments section contains some of the lowest forms of humanity.
Indeed, it brings out all the homosexual Drake & now Maclkemore fans, it’s turning completely gay.
“Why is Macklemore’s dick on your mind? Keep that to yourself.”
Stay the fuck away from this site bitch.
That’s what you should be doing right now.
What’s your name bitch?
dude caught feelings when he got exposed for thinkin about dicks 24/7
RAP MUSIC DIED ON THE NATIONAL STAGE YESTERDAY, AND I’M GLAD, HOPEFULLY THESE RAPPERS STOP TRYING TO MAKE RADIO ALBUMS, STOP WEARING DRESSES AND PRETENDING TO BE DIVAS, AND STOP DOING ART SHOWS, YOU’RE NOT GETTING A GRAMMY BUDDY, SOME DUDE TALKING ABOUT THRIFT SHOPS AND COMING OUT IS GOING TO WIN. Y’ALL THE NEED TO GET BACK TO LYRICAL BARS, HARD BEATS AND EAST COAST TOUGHNESS. FUCK THE GRAMMYS, LET’S BRING HIP HOP BACK
You guys should go to Perez Hilton and post not here, this is/was a hip hop site u fags turning it in to a gossip girl hangout real quick..
You complain about hip hop not being underground anymore then cry about some dude who sold like 2 mil records winning a grammy.. shut up!
Respect to another artist I Respect that
The thing that made HipHop so potent at its peak was its aggression and masculinity. Powerful.
You always had a few slightly moist dudes but the alpha males were always at the forefront.
Now you see the most blatantly feminized rappers every with Eminem, Kanye, Maclklinmore, Wayne and Drake at the forefront with dudes kissing each other, wearing dresses and promoting homosexuality.
Hopefully this is just a phase that will pass.
then you should have said it during your acceptance speech you faggot.
ATTENTION BLACK PEOPLE. IT IS OKAY TO SUCK DICK. YOU TOOK AWAY SLAVERY FROM THE WHITE MAN SO NOW HE HAS TO HAVE YOUR BOOTY. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THE MESSAGE MACKLEMORE AND MISTER CEE IS EDUCATING YOU WITH|? WAVE OF THE FUTURE!!!!
yes “you know what it is.” you have been trained coo n your master shouldnt have to repeat himself… i took your awards and i’ll give you whatever empty platitudes about how i “was going to say it during hte speech but you know…”. fucking ignorants.
just like sodom and gomorrah…..satan is a slick demon, he has fooled the world into thinking this homosexuality is ok even tho two of the same kind cant create life which is common sense its not natural…..armageddon is coming in our life time
There is no satan, fool.
Hey dental, why do you always shut the fuck down when being anti-trolled?
why would you post it on facebook and instagram tho? just send the apology it seems a lot more sincere and credible that way. now it just looks like ur lookin for attention
its called damage control so some of these angry hip-hop heads will stop whining so much
nahh i disagree i think there would have been better ‘damage control’ if kendrick would have mentioned or posted the aplogy later. this shit is straight PR.
those hiphop heads have a right to complain. gkmc is a modern day classic. macklemore is so lame and white he has to post an apology to the world so everybody knows he has one black friend lol
he has lots of black friends you fucking tard
ask Talib Kweli, Schoolboy Q and Big K.R.I.T
Who remembers that time that The Carter 3 beat Jay, Nas, and Lupe for a Grammy.
Im making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, http://WWW.Works6.CoM
Smh what a shame hip hop has come to. This faggot is more dangerous to hip hop than Wayne ever was
wayne got niccas riding sippin syrup, skateboards wearing their lil sisters leopard print jeans…
macklemore got people to be open minded and accept other peoples life choices
Wayne was just a hipster weirdo but these dudes are just homosexual.
except they’re not. lil wayne kisses men on the lips. lord jamar has naked shower scenes with other men. if anyone in rap is gay its those cats.
macklemore is engaged to a woman but made a song about gay rights for his uncle.
I read that TDE wasn’t paying K Dot his royalities from GKMC. He is now considering suing Dawg and signing with either YMCMB (where Drake is) or Roc Nation.
TDE has no control over Kendrick’s royalties, ASCAP pays him his royalties, now if he signed a bad publishing contract then he needs to rework his contract.
He would be foolish to sign with CMB/YMCMB because his Hipster fanbase view him as the indie darling and not the commercial machine that YMCMB is.
Roc Nation would be perfect, they are pretty autonomous and not as cliquish as other sub labels.
With the recent success of these indie artists I would stay a free agent and just build my own brand.
I also read that dawg had been sexually harrasing him.
You niggas and your fairy tales.
“Yet he had to sell out and be on a Katy Perry song in order to get a #1”
Just like Kendrick being on a Robin Thicke song.
quoteman is a moron.
kendricks album sold a million copies, with or without a robin thicke guest feature
1. Kendrick didn’t sell out doing that Robin Thicke song.
2. The song didn’t even go to #1.
How is Kendrick doing a song with an R&B singer selling out like Juicy J doing a song with a pop singer?
K dot had always been a pop rapper that struggled in single sales (albums sales were lower than drake’s) so its only natural he does shit with pop singers. Katy Perry sold out however because her last single bombed and needed someone who could sell to revive her, like pitbull and kesha.
You are an idiot. Kendrick is pure hip-hop, no pop. His singles do well. Robin Thicke is an R&B singer, so Kendrick didn’t do a sogn with a pop singer. Katy Perry didn’t sell out, Juicy J sold out for working with her since her single did not bomb and she didn’t need help. If anything, Juicy J needed help since he can’t get a hit by himself.
So basically .. Macklemore is a sexually confused, thrift shoppin’ snitch that publicly posts private messages who literally can’t just say “Thank You” and accept an award — always some TMZ bullish to follow masked as a “cause”
Half a man, your a double standard spewing bitch. It’s the same sell out decision, even worse on Kendrick’s part considering he knew Thicke was coming off the biggest song of last year.
I didn’t say anything that was double-standard at all. It’s not a sell-out at all. Plus, they recorded that song before Blurred Lines became a huge hit.
You shouldn’t speak on double standards.
everything this guy posts is 100% bitch made
this dude admits to hating nas and said illmatic was trash and expects anyone to take his comments seriously!!
why do you even click on macklemore and kendrick articles if you listen to pitbull, meek mill and birdman?
‘The song didn’t even go to #1’
Bummer.
No need to worry. It made it to #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
blacks are so homophobic and it takes a real man like macklemore to smash homophobia in hip hop;. Macklemore is taking the reigns…deal with it.
Macklemore is dominating the hoods of America. Black poeple bobbing their heads to REAL hip hop. Macklemore making stacks. You at the welfare office.
“It made it to #25 on the Billboard Hot 100”
Double bummer.
That’s much better than anything from MMG.
“It’s not a sell-out at all. Plus, they recorded that song before Blurred Lines became a huge hit”
Who cares when it was recorded? It got released after Blurred Lines, and while Kendrick’s wave was riding high. Smart strategy, but still a sell out move.
Rick Ross put Robin Thicke on his album, is he a sell out too?
at least Kendrick got a check from the white boy, Ross had to pay him
Ross paid him for a feature and still didnt go plat LOLOLOL
It’s not a sell out move when he didn’t even sell out.
“Kendrick is pure hip-hop, no pop. His singles do well. Robin Thicke is an R&B singer, so Kendrick didn’t do a sogn with a pop singer”
Lol You’re a born spinster. His singles doing well has zero to do with chipmunk’s decision to jump on a song with Robin Thicke, an R&B singer who now has a pop audience thanks to Blurred Lines. Imagine what KRS thinks about that, or anybody who actually made pure hip hop music minus the gimmicks. If Drake’s guilty, your boy belongs on death row.
bruh you’re a faggot. go listen to pitbull and birdman and just kill yourself
“Lol You’re a born spinster. His singles doing well has zero to do with chipmunk’s decision to jump on a song with Robin Thicke, an R&B singer who now has a pop audience thanks to Blurred Lines. Imagine what KRS thinks about that, or anybody who actually made pure hip hop music minus the gimmicks. If Drake’s guilty, your boy belongs on death row.”
You really are an idiot for spewing all of these lies.
KRS and other hip-hop artists would have no problem with this. If you’re gonna bash Kendrick for doing a song with an R&B singer, then you might as well bash EVERY rapper then.
KRS would probably be the first one to tell you how retarded you sound while giving Kendrick PROPS FOR HIS CLASSIC HIP-HOP ALBUM
“an R&B singer who now has a pop audience thanks to Blurred Lines.”
he had a pop audience before blurred lines… where the fuck have you been… robin thicke been around for years dog.
OP admits to listening to Meek Mill, Pitbull and Birdman but shits on Kendrick Lamar on every single article on this website. He also said Illmatic is terrible.
No one should take this boy seriously he is just loney and desperate to interact with someone online.
Yeah…Kendrick should’ve won. But Macklemore put in work with “The Heist”, so got nothing but respect for him. Accolades and awards aside, let’s just recognize that these are two incredibly talented artists, albeit hip-hop or otherwise.
