like Qtip said, he made us sick, I feel like I'm done with hip hop.

He didn't call it The Heist for nothing yo
Heist -

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heist‎
A heist is a robbery from an institution such as a bank or a museum, or any robbery in which there is a large haul of loot.

[The Asshole]

People saying hip hop is dead and they are done with hip hop, why are you blaming Mack for doing what he was supposed to do, make good music and release t. Kendrick had the better album but aim your hate at the freaking right place, the selection committee, don't be stupid and blame Mack for something he had no control over.

[EminemBase]

Oh please.

There's been a gazillion fucking wins which were seen as unorthodox or not expected in the Grammy's, this obsession with race in hip-hop is annoying as fuck. Not everything is about fucking race.

Kanye beat Eminem for a Grammy in 2005 ffs, what's the excuse there?

Why not be a little more intelligent and realize: don't you think it's more likely they would choose artists' albums they KNOW will cause a reaction, to get everrrrrybody talking about their organization aka free as fuck advertising for their show, as apposed to some racist agenda. Get fucking real.

Yeah but it's the wrong kind of adverstising, it's got people doubting their ability to make the correct judgements, thus making it less of a force in the world of awards.. I don't give a shit about the race issue that some people are crying over, but tons of people feel it was a robbery including Macklemore

[Snakebeast]

That gay song from him is pretty dope and i think he was so brave to make a song like that....i'm bumpin the heist right now.

Indeed

Yeah well regardless - Kanye is like one of the most awarded Grammy artists EVER, I think in fact THEE most in terms of a solo act? So the race argument is eternally void by default. Stupid as fuck.

There's a million reasons awards go this way, but in America... all I ever hear is black American artists throwing the race card around endlessly: Spike Lee, Kanye, so many... just... seriously, stfu already.
