"What voters got wrong: The singles from "The Heist" are more impressive than the overall album, so I would've left that off the list. And, as you'll hear over and over, Bareilles really has no business being here"
heist is the worst album in the rap category tbh.
watch the videos I posted: "Inside Album Of The Year".. theres a video for each album nominated for AOTY and the pannel of music/grammy experts didn't even know what to say about the heist
Because it speaks for itself. It has the #1 and #3 biggest hits in the world of the entire year. It has remained in the Spotify top 10 albums worldwide since its release. GKMC has struggled to stay on the top 50. Macklemore is also Spotify's most streamed artist of the year, and the Heist is also the most streamed album on YT of 2013.
Mack has covered Rolling Stone, XXL, and was Source's man of the year. The album itself completely indi and made with no samples using live instrumentation. You really should listen to it again, its a classic. From the very first song he spits pure truth.
