One of the biggest talking points of last night's Grammys was Macklemore's domination in the rap field. It was so egregious that he pointed it out himself, screen-capping a long, dramatic text he sent to Kendrick Lamar about the Best Rap Album category, and posting it on his Instagram. It reads:

"You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It's weird and sucks that I robbed you. I was gonna say that during the speech. Then the music started playing during my speech and I froze. Anyway, you know what it is. Congrats on this year and your music. Appreciate you as an artist and a friend. Much love"

He also wrote a long caption to go along with the Instagram:

My text to Kendrick after the show. He deserved best rap album... I'm honored and completely blown away to win anything much less 4 Grammys. But in that category, he should have won IMO. And that's taking nothing away from The Heist. Just giving GKMC it's proper respect.. With that being said, thank you to the fans. You're the reason we were on that stage tonight. And to play Same Love on that platform was a career highlight. The greatest honor of all. That's what this is about. Progress and art. Thank you. #grammys

Kendrick, if you haven't responded yet, I have a draft for you: "Bro... isn't your attempt at humility undermined by your decision to post your text on social media in an awkward, self-congratulatory way?"
