Less than 24 hours after consuming gluttonous amounts of grub among kinfolk, shoppers will trek out in the wee hours of Black Friday morning (November 28) to go on a buying spree. But what’s a shopping trip without a proper soundtrack?
If you recall, Macklemore first apologized for accepting a Grammy that he claimed he didn’t deserve back in January. Months later, he’s issuing another lengthy apologia – this time, for donning a costume he deems “random” and not stereotypical whatsoever.
Macklemore may be a darling of gay rights activists and feel-good lefty types, but he’s in potential hot water after the popular rapper played a show in a questionable costume. At a secret show in Seattle, Macklemore hit the stage appearing dressed to look like a stereotypical Jewish man.
Grammy Award-winning rapper Macklemore recently electrified the Barclays Center in the name of the Jordan Brand Classic but that didn’t put a limit on his involvement with the legendary #23.
The rap world still won’t let Macklemore get away with winning anything. Earlier today, Billboard named “Thrift Shop” the top rap single of all time, the backlash was pretty epic, and it’s still going strong.
You weren’t the only one who thought the apology text Macklemore sent Kendrick Lamar, and made public, for beating him in every Grammy category was suspect. Drake recently went on the record to say the Seattle rapper’s move was “wack as f*ck.”
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis both delighted and stunned Hip-Hop fans with a performance of their hit “Same Love” at the 2014 Grammy Awards, which featured the nuptials of over 30 straight and gay couples.

The Grammy smoke has still been swirling thick in the air most Hip-Hoppers breathe and exhale. An equal mix of shell-shock and confusion was left in many a fan’s mind after Kendrick Lamar and his universally acclaimed album good kid, m.A.A.d city walked away from the prestigious award show without a single trophy.
For better or worse, in this case more so on the worse end, Macklemore’s name has been dragged all through the news this past Grammy weekend.
Macklemore has been very candid in speaking on his GRAMMY wins over Kendrick Lamar in the hours following the award show. This morning, the rapper called into Hot 97 to discuss winning and the logic behind why he believes it happened.
After the smoke cleared on music’s biggest stage, Kendrick Lamar walked away with zero Grammy Awards after being nominated seven times. His competitors Macklemore & Ryan Lewis let it be known to all that it was a cold world as they walked away with four golden gramophones.
