Billboard/Shazaam/Spotify predict Macklemore to win AOTY/BNA

[therapist]

^sure, but the heist is no classic, GKMC is.

I think The Heist is definitely a classic. It's a masterpiece.

I was talking to Pete earlier this week, one of the 150 grammy voters and he pretty much confirmed what most of us already know.

macklemore is not one of their options for aoty, it's basically between Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar & Taylor Swift and like he said, they see Macklemore as the justin bieber of hip hop and as you already know, Justin bieber will never win a Grammy.

Pete and most of the other voters are aware hip hop fans don't fuck with Macklemore's album.

Well...that's kind of stupid, Pete sounds like a fucking moron.

isn't it true though ? macklemore kinda admitted it himself: "Macklemore revealed that if The Heist does win Best Rap Album at the Grammys later this month, Hip Hop will be “heated.” - The Source

and according to pete, the other voters are aware that macklemore doesn't have the support of his own genre.
These are his words that flowed through my mind "a hip hop album ? with a pop audience ? not supported by hip hop fans ? well, that sounds like a bad pop album"

GKMC is better therefore I think it should win over The Heist. But if The Heist won I wouldn't be surprised or even mad.

Only blacks from the hood don't fuck with macklemore. The only thing they listen to is music that bumps in the whip. Now you can give me a point for racism or whatever even though you know it's tru

If Taylor Swift takes home AOTY

[DƎRDYPK]

Macklemore? AOTY? that'll put alot of butts in seats

[Notalius]

If Taylor Swift takes home AOTY

Hhahah smfh.

She did sell a lot though, and it had a huge buzz so I wouldn't be surprised. I just don't really like her.

I heard she's a lowkey lesbian .. horsey might like her even more now

Her popularity and sales are definitely undisputed, but i'll be damned if an album with such little artistic growth/substance wins AOTY. She is doing the same shit she's been doing since day one, whining about boys in the same half-country/half-bubblegum pop sound. But you've got all the little teenager girlies out there who think it's cool to join along in her propagation of man bashing and self-wallowing.

In reality, she's probably the batshit crazy one, even though she plays it off like she's such a sweet, innocent victim.

End TSwift rant.

But how can Kendrick beat Mack in the Rap album of the year, but then lose to Mack for AOTY?

But how can Kendrick beat Mack in the Rap album of the year, but then lose to Mack for AOTY?

because the hip hop community is fully behind Kendrick for RAOTY but his album is just too "hip hop" for the aoty category. Many magazines/critics/fans support kendrick for aoty because it is still the most critically acclaimed album since its release and kendrick winning aoty would make gkmc the first hip hop album to ever win that award.
Realistically, 2 "hip hop" artists have already won AOTY but it was because of the crossover: Lauryn Hill & Outkast with a non hip hop album (The Love Below)

also, Babel won AOTY last year but lost in its own genre category because the support of the community wasn't there.
Arcade Fire won AOTY in 2011 and lost in their own genre category.

Regardless of what any of you think about Macklemore he has been dope since 2005. He's been KILLING SHIT since 2012. Can't deny his success. Eventually hip-hop will have to accept him. I bet his sophomore album will be like his 2005 album "Language of my World" where he really shows how deep his music goes and good he is at rapping.

If you have a strong opinion on Macklemore and haven't listened to Language of My World, then you don't know what you're talking about. Sorry.

who is the hip hop community ? like who do you see there lol ... lets say someone likes The heist more than GKMC, makes him that a pop fan rather than one from the hip hop community ? Even if he regulary listens to other "real" hip hop lol
