During this year's Grammy's artists Macklemore & Ryan Lewis album "The Heist" is up for Best Rap Album. However, a member of the Grammy committee group feels that the duo group should not be in the hip hop category.
The member of the committee said due to their pop appearance and their success on mainstream radio they don't qualify as hip hop artists.
"It's not that they don't think he's a rapper. It's just that when you're trying to protect categories and someone has become popular, it should be judges as much. Where does their music exist? Who are their fans?," the anonymous member asked.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are no different than any other artists who are classified in two music genre's. Singers like Beyonce, Usher and Miguel are considered R&B/Pop stars.
Previously, Macklemore said if their group wins for Best Rap Album hip hop is going to be heated. What do you think?
