I didn’t bother to watch the 56th Annual Grammy Awards last night as I was more inclined to give the NFL’s newly revamped Pro Bowl a chance before I eventually fell asleep on it in the 3rd quarter. When I started my day this morning I saw angry people on social media who were upset about Seattle rapper Macklemore’s 4 Grammy wins last night. Although I was rooting for artists like Kendrick Lamar  who create music that appeals more to me, I wasn’t mad or surprised Macklemore won a few Grammys.  My youngest nieces loved his ‘Thrift Store’ song early on & I noticed that he appealed to more people independently of what was going on in rap music in general. When I watched ESPN First Take this morning, Brooklyn emcee Fabolous shared a similar sentiment when asked his opinion on Macklemore’s Grammy wins. I agree with Macklemore’s post Grammy statements in the media though…..Kendrick SHOULD have won the Grammy for ‘Best Rap Album’, but it is what it is.  More video from Fabolous’s appearance on ESPN’s First Take after the jump….
