Your Truth

Are the Grammys even relevant to hip-hop?...the Grammys tends to be a measure of market success (which arguably doesn't necessarily equate to talent). Selling records isn't the same as making good hip-hop and Macklmeore's sickly sweet 'hip-pop' fits straight into the mould of easily digestible rap lyrics.

The juxtaposition of The Heist and Good Kid, M.A.A.D City exposed to an almost surrealistic level that hop-hop and the Grammys aren't relevant to each other. You'd think anyone evaluating Best Rap Album would be able to see how grossly different these albums are - and why the former simply doesn't cut it. But instead of hating Macklemore and hating the Grammys - I find it easier to simple not acknowledge either.
