And it's not just that Macklemore isn't that famous, it's just that there are so many musicians and specifically rappers "ahead of him" so to speak.

And extending the Taio Cruz analogy, all of his success came in 2010 (from his 2009 album) and he was one of the biggest artists that year. But he had another album come out in 2010, and it received a negligible amount attention outside the UK. Somebody who rockets up to success like Macklemore did usually has a similar plummet.

I hope his 2016 album does really well because I really like the guy and his music. But in all honesty, it probably won't and even if it did, it isn't relevant to wether he should be in an ERB now.
