No different than rappers who collaborate with Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus, Skrillex, David Guetta, etc and autotune their vocals to make pop records
Catering to that audience.
This is a straight up lie. Yeah he's white and don't like his music, but all he has been nominated in the Hip-hop category for almost every major award show.
He even won Best Rap group in the BET awards.
The rap judges ain't taking no stances like that especially since they gave it to Drake last year, who made records where he doesn't even rap

Best post in this threadagree 100%,fuk the Grammys I might be guilty of rubbing it in Nas stans faces that he don't have one...but really I could give a shyt and I wont be watching just to see two nikkas I know perform the whole night if we lucky.
That's black folks for u though,downplaying anything black owned as if its bootleg..nikkas do it on here all the time in regards to hiphop acting like being hot in the streets means nothing,or that famous "people still watch BET(or BET awards)
"...but will sit around watching these white shows full of bullshyt you don't even understand and never breakdown the quality
....ill give the benefit of the doubt and take it to mean u don't care about the white shows but care about the black ones,and that's why you so hard on em
...but if u care,try acting like it or at least ignorantly hate on the white shows too just becuz u don't know whats goin on,cacs do it to us all the time

That's because they are seeking validation from their white counterparts... And the fact that there has not been a decent black award show in years also.
Queen Latifah is the ordained minister?

Grammy committee meeting and spoke on condition of anonymity because that person wasn't authorized to publicly reveal the information.
While Macklemore & Lewis are up for seven honors at Sunday's Grammy Awards, including album of the year and best rap album for the platinum seller "The Heist," most rap committee members felt the duo shouldn't qualify for the rap categories because of their success
on mainstream radio and their appeal in the pop world, the source said."Thrift Shop" not only topped the rap charts, it was also one of the year's biggest pop songs, selling 7.3 million tracks.
The group's follow-up, "Can't Hold Us," helped assimilate their name in pop music when it hit the No. 1 spot and sold more than 5 million tracks. But at a meeting held in Los Angeles late last year to discuss the Grammy categories, members of the rap committee declined their submissions.
At a meeting held a week later, members of the general Grammy committee discussed where Macklemore & Lewis should qualify, the source said. The general committee, which includes members from jazz, country, pop, rock and other genres, listened to their album to determine where they fit.
"Because of the controversy with them as a rap group it became something the entire Grammy committee discussed," the person said.
A general committee vote decided the group should compete for rap awards. The source said it was a landslide vote and that veto of the rap committee's decision wasn't a common occurrence.
"It's not that they don't think he's a rapper," the person said of the rap committee's decision. "It's just that when you're trying to protect categories and someone has become popular, it should be judged as much. ... Where does their music exist? Who are their fans?"
A representative for the Recording Academy didn't return an email seeking comment, and the performers weren't available for interviews.
Macklemore & Lewis' seven Grammy nominations include best rap album, rap song and rap performance for "Thrift Shop," album of the year, song of the year for "Same Love" and best new artist.
Their manager used an expletive to describe the rap category debate.
"If you strip away being influenced by the popularity or by who their fans are or by the amount of radio traction their songs got ... and just dissect musically what it is, there's no question it's a hip-hop album; they're hip-hop songs," said Zach Quillen, who didn't attend any of the Grammy meetings. "When you start to look at other things (that) is when people's judgment got cloudy. It's what they look like, the demographic, the fan base, it's the popularity, it's the radio."
Artists can submit songs or albums to multiple genres for Grammy Awards, but a screening committee decides where they best fit. Artists, though, can be nominated for multiple genres: Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" and "Pusher Love Girl" are nominated for best pop solo performance and R&B song, respectively. Rihanna is also nominated for R&B and pop awards

The bolded is the key..the black award shows for the most part have not done what is necessary to be held in regard by most hip hop legends or high caliber artists....at the same time its evident the grammys is the melting pot for music and thus garners way more attention and prestige when recognition is given...different from one that solely focuses on hip hop..

if you think they respect hip-hop any more than those other awards, ESPECIALLY Soul Train
