Drake: Macklemore's apology text to Kendrick was wack

After Macklemore and Ryan Lewis won Best New Artist and three trophies in the rap category at last month's Grammy Awards, the duo's mouthpiece tried to prove that he thought another nominee should have walked off with some golden hardware: "You got robbed," Macklemore texted Kendrick Lamar. "I wanted you to win."
The private message — which Macklemore made very public by posting it on Instagram — didn't strike everyone as generous. And in the new issue of Rolling Stone (on stands Friday), Drake makes it very clear he thought the message was unnecessary. To put it bluntly, he thought "that **** was wack as ****."
"I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better — make better music,'" he tells us. "It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?"
Drake notes that Grammy wins don't always go to the artist who made the best album. "This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick. Whether people wanna say it's racial, or whether it's just the fact that he tapped into something we can't tap into. That's just how the cards fall. Own your ****."
And in the end, if Macklemore was going to start doling out apologies, he should have reached out to more nominees, Drake says. "To name just Kendrick? That **** made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!"

Drake really feels comfortable going at rappers now a days. But I guess this is how emo rappers express themselves.
-

Yes, this is correct, really like seeing Drake speak on something without sounding like a self entitled whiny ?And in the end, if Macklemore was going to start doling out apologies, he should have reached out to more nominees, Drake says.

Oh, spoke to soon -
I agree with the Crang looking mf. While appologizing to Kendrick, Mackelmore basically said ? you Kanye, Jay-z, Drake,etc. He is basically saying, while my ? was not better than K Dot's, it's definitely better than ya'll ? . lmfao
Flips ? youth cut and walks out
-
Drake, as well as all these artists, know what they be saying. Its all calculated. Now mofos gonna discuss about this & him & so he/whoever wins.
All this fake drama/headlines ? & yall feed into it so easily. He knows how it will come off & that ya will feed into it. Its ppl like ya that makes it so easy for ppl like Kardashians to win. -
This estrogen laced fruitcake making us lightskin ? look bad. I'm starting to hate Canadians.
-
Drake is a ? CLOWN
-
Drake's a ?
-
Rapper apologizes to another rapper for winning an award, then tweets the apology text. Other rapper gets offended that he didn't get an apology text.
I ? hate my generation. -

Macklamore felt like Kendrick should have won. Not Mange, Jay, and whoever else. That's why he only hit up Kendrick.
Damn shame when a white guy is more of a real ? than you. Drake is the ? Don. -
drake is a fruit cake ass mf. he got that ether from kendrick, now he cant get over it. soul burning slow.
-
See this what the ? I'm talking about ..... Leave it up to a real ass ? like drizzy to call out all you ? ass ? tho... This ? come in slapping ? around yoking ? up by the collar and letting it be known that he ain't with the punk ass ? .... Ain't nobody doing #rns like this no more ...if a ? actin like a ? than you can believe that my ? gone call they ? ? out on that ? ? ....he what the game need bruh ... That real
-
Even if Macklemore didn't win, didn't Kendrick get the least votes? I was under the impression Jay was the runner up.
I see what Drakes saying though. But since it's Drake, its easier to make fun of whatever he says.
