1. he's white. He admits this is the case

2. His pop songs are rap-like enough to make people feel good enough about themselves that they can listen to rap.

3. It doesn't sound like other rap which an awful lot of people can't stand.

4. He's not Kanye

Some people eat up what they are force fed, and they like it

I don't like the guy, but don't hate him Compared to a lot of other music out there, he's on par and his shite is catchy.

Thats why I'm asking to... Everything I have heard about him is he is a decent guy. Hell, his fiance isn't even that good looking, so you know he isn't out there after the dime pieces attached to his fame

Not a big fan. From the interviews I've seen and the way he carries himself, he just seems like one of those guys that is his own biggest fan.

I'm indifferent to their music, mainly because I really don't listen to it. From what I understand, him and Ryan Lewis earned what they have by starting from the ground up creating everything they do. They're not some Los Angeles or NYC puppets that just say and do what others create and push on them. I can respect them for that.

This. Him winning over Kendrick just shows the Grammys are a popularity contest, nothing on the music itself

Raps about a lot of controversial issues.
Very mainstream.
Seems like a good guy.
He's white.
He's different.


I'm not a fan, but he's not terrible. Don't think he should have stole the show at the Grammy's.
