Rapper Macklemore, 40, drops pro-Palestine track "Hind's Hall," backing US campus protests, criticizing American funding, and advocating for peace through divestment.
Macklemore may have thought he pleased the rap community when he told Kendrick Lamar that he got robbed at this year's Grammy Awards via text message. Not surprisingly, some people in hip hop still aren't happy. Surprisingly, it is hip hop's nice guy, Drake, who is calling Macklemore out.
Many were shocked when Kendrick Lamar did not win a single award at Sunday's 2014 Grammy Awards. This week, the critically-acclaimed rapper finally addressed getting snubbed after having one of the biggest rap careers of 2013.
The 2013 American Music Awards are set to air live this Sunday, Nov. 24th on ABC. That night, America gets to taste a little Latin flavor with recording artist Pitbull hosting the show. It will also be the AMA's first time honoring an artist with an Icon Award. Who might this artist be? None other than our "island gal" Rihanna. "The award was created to honor an artist whose work has influenced pop music on a global level," confirms MSN.
