TIL Macklemore is based
He always has been. Naturally, his one goofy song about thrifting is the one that went viral.
Eh Same Love also blew up from that album which, while woke, is also pretty corny. The album also famously won the Grammy over Kendrick Lamar so I'd say his other songs got their fair share of fame.
The Grammys being trash is nothing new and also not really Macklemore's fault
On the other hand, I've got no argument at all that a lot of his music is corny af, but even when he was at his most cringe he was still trying to be a good dude at least
For sure, I was just mentioning the Grammy thing in terms of popularity. And yeah it does seem like he puts his money where his mouth is on social issues.
WHEN I WAS IN THE THIRD GRADE, I THOUGHT I WAS GAY
Even the goofy thrifting song is based as fuck. It's a rejection of fast fashion and manufactured style in favour of joyous self-expression on a working class budget.
Even his thrift shop song is based. The song is about recycling and not buying overpriced brand shit (can't even call it designer shit when it's a plain T with a Gucci logo).
I know it's just another big hit one but man I love how he just starts and doesn't stop in "Can't Hold Us."
That was the song of the summer the year it came out. Went pretty hard can’t lie.
His one goofy song about thrifting was EXTREMELY well made to be fair. Funny lyrics, funny video, very distinctive beat. Having Wanz do the hook was a great choice, his voice is like a change in gears.
Macklemore - HIND’S HALL (Free Palestine Song)
Where was the antisemitic part?
Gonna have to change his stage name to Macklemost
And get sued by Mattermost.
I like some of his songs about Palestine, but this guy put out songs specifically targeting Biden/Harris saying he won't vote for them.
This guy helped Trump win.
Edit: from Hinds Hall: "The blood is on your hands Biden, we can see it all. And fuck no, I'm not voting for you in the fall."
wow, he is a good guy after all and not just some blue maga freak, good for him.
Your right, it's good Trump won. Things are going so well.
Edit: Both sides are the same, right everyone?
It's time you people stop relying on the excuse that any Biden criticism is the same as equating both sides. It's kinda pathetic and the same type of shit that will make people less likely to vote for the Democrats as it only serves as a way to suppress criticism.
do you know that tweet where that one guy is like, "i like waffles" and another guy replies saying "so you hate pancakes?"
i hope thats enough to say but the liberal mind is incomprehensible to me so idk.
He is, but also a really corny dude to the point where he gives right wing pundits someone to point and laugh at. I know he is genuine and wants to put eyeballs on issues, however he sometimes came off performative about it which turns people off unfortunately.
Nah, fuck that. What you're calling corny is just sincerity. Leave that irony poisoned "caring about things is cringe" bullshit to the right wing chuds.
As I said, it’s unfortunate people take someone’s sincerity the wrong way… I’m glad he is doing what he is doing 100%.
