I mean really why is it an issue? I don't think they had to do that and it's not like it's advancing anything socially but some people got to get married at the Grammy's and probably had a great time.

There are rappers I enjoy who, for the most part, do not rap solely about money, drugs and women. Childish Gambino and Atmosphere come to mind. Also, while they're not rappers in the traditional sense, I'd much rather listen to a group like Twenty One Pilots over Maclemore as they actually have a pleasing sound and rhythm to their music.
