During a recent interview, Ice Cube was asked about his take regarding 2014’s Best Rap Album Grammy going to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ The Heist over Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d. city.

“It’s typical,” Ice Cube says in an interview with the Associated Press as published by Billboard. “It’s the Grammys. What do you expect? But for them to pass up true skills for what could be fly-by-night success…I don’t want to dis anybody, but seriously.” 

After this year’s Grammys, Macklemore, who won 4 Grammys at the event, said he felt Kendrick Lamar deserved to win instead. Macklemore posted a text message conversation where he told Kendrick Lamar he felt the TDE star was “robbed.” Macklemore also said that he and Ryan Lewis had an unfair advantage at the Grammys “due to race.”

Ice Cube Says There Needs To Be A Hip Hop Hall Of Fame

Cube also discussed how he feels regarding N.W.A being overlooked as a nominee for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. 

“It sucks,” Cube says. “But it’s understandable. We really only had one album together. They had two albums as a group. I’m sure that groups that have been together longer can make a better argument. But this just lets you know how much we need a Hip Hop Hall of Fame of our own.”
