With a chart-topping album on his resume, Top Dawg Entertainment’s own ScHoolboy Q is all about positivity. In the cover story for the latest edition of The Source magazine, the Black Hippy defended Macklemore‘s apology text to Q’s partner Kendrick Lamar regarding beating him for Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammy Awards.
The apology — that Drake, another nominee who Macklemore beat, said was “wack as f*ck”, and Kendrick himself acknowledged as well deserved — created havoc on social media and the music industry as Macklemore posted the apology text on his Instagram to show his remorse for beating the Compton rapper.
The latest to speak on the matter was of course Schoolboy Q, who stated:
“Like, all these rappers talking s**t about Macklemore because of the text, but they wouldn’t be saying that s**t if I sent the text out. Or if Maino sent the text out. Bruh, if Maino sent the text out and put it on Instagram, n***as would be quiet. They wouldn’t say nothing.”
It appears as if Q is blaming the hate Macklemore is getting on him being “soft” and not as hardcore as him and Brooklyn rapper Maino. Do you think that’s the reason?
