Its a toss up. Things don’t always go the way the public wants it to go. They both made great albums. Macklemore’s album connected more with whats going on in this country. The whole gay rights thing is BIG here. And for him to put his career on the line and speak up for the Gays, is a huge thing to do. He goes out his way to do it. That’s why he won. Not because he’s white. Because its more blacks that won Best Rap Album than whites. All together, its only 2 white ppl who won it. And only 5 Best Rap Albums belong between the both of them (4 with Eminem and 1 with Mack).
