Fidel Castronaut posted:Sure, maybe Macklemore wasn't a perfect comparison, not that I was trying to make a 1:1 comparison but the fact is that he won his Grammy against Kendrick Lamar because his rap was more pleasant to white sensibilities than Lamar's confrontational politics. Compare Macklemore's "Downtown" to Lamar's "Alright" where he says 'We hate the popo when they shoot us down in the streets fo' sho'." Their audiences do not overlap as much as you seem to think they do. Counterpoint: Kendrick had one good track and is insanely overrated. His decline with each successive album is taking him into Lil B territory. We haven't seen a transition from "most important rap in the world" to "whack bullshit" this fast since Arrested Development. Meanwhile, Mackelmore (and more importantly Ryan Lewis) know how to make bangers that get a party started.
