Macklemore wins Best New Artist? I agree. Macklemore beat out Kendrick, Drake, Jay Z, and Kanye for Best Hip Hop Album? This is why I can't take the Grammys seriously.
If this was based on popular vote, everyone would know that either Drake, Kendrick, Jay, or Ye would have won based off of their HIP HOP (Not overall) album hype alone. Even though the better album is completely subjective, I honestly believe that the judges aren't diverse at all. The Grammys have been shading Hip Hop from the beginning, but they could at least put some thought into the decisions when it comes to the category. In my opinion, I like Macklemore as an artist, but to say he had the best Rap album despite the response from Nothing Was the Same, and the fact that people still act as if GKMC is brand new, is ridiculous. The Grammys has always been predictable in the winners but this completely took me by surprise.
Anyway, If you were to choose, who would you have chosen to win this category?
