HATERSVILLE?! Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' 2014 GRAMMY AWARDS Win CAUSES Ruption Between Twitter Folks!
January 26, 2014GWL Staff
Hip-Hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who are nominated for 7 Grammys tonight, have already won three awards in the pre-telecast, sweeping the entire RAP category.
The group won Best Rap Album for "The Heist," an album they created without the help of a record label, and Best Rap Performance & Rap Song for "Thrift Shop."
Now the duo's big Grammy wins have left a bad taste in some Twitter users mouth, whom all took to their Twitter accounts to voice their disgust, claiming Grammy officials snubbed Kendrick Lamar. An award Macklemore wanted the rapper to win.
Check out the Tweets below (courtesy of Young, Black & Fabulous):
Macklemore. Again, I don’t understand his appeal or how he’s won all of these awards over legit rappers. His music isn’t even real hip hop! Also, what the f--k is a Ryan Lewis?
Feel some type of way about Macklemore winning best rap album over Kendrick, Jay-Z and DrakeA Twitter user then shared the below photo... as you can see there was some favoritism going on too:
One fan tried to voice his opinion by saying why he think the group earned the Grammy awards:
But honestly, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis deserved that award. They got themselves out there on an independent label. They are some of the most influential people in the industry right now. So what if you don’t like that kind of music? They are good at what they do and deserve every award they have been given.

The Grammys have always been biased against Black artist, so I'm not surprised at all!
