They are unambiguously positive things. I don't think that makes the song any good.

so forks just pointed out the existence of the song "My Dick" by 3OH!3 on another thread and, after listening to that and looking back at "White Privilege II", things could be SO MUCH WORSE― its subtle brume (DJP)

Yeah, it coulda been "White Dick"

/Macklemore may be looped in with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea when it comes to criticism surrounding the appropriation of black culture, but he's making a clear point today in separating himself from them.In fact, the rapper just dropped his latest song with Ryan Lewis called "White Privilege II"—a follow-up to the original 2005 track "White Privilege"—in which he not only expresses his determination to rally behind the black community, but he also calls out both Cyrus and Azalea for their lack of attention to the people they "stole" their music from./http://www.eonline.com/news/733272/macklemore-calls-out-miley-cyrus-and-iggy-azalea-for-appropriating-black-culture-in-white-privilege-ii --o. nate

can't wait until the music industry bubble finally bursts and we learn the last CD actually sold was in 1998

Adele just sold 5 million CDs but that's definitely the last time that will ever happen

sold them to an unmarked warehouse

yeah if macklemore was around in the mid 1990s he'd probably have sold like 20 million records
i guess that's what you call cosmic justice

This doesn't feel right. I would have thought way more. Am I spelling something wrong?

I just assumed most of Macklemore's fanbase have moved on to other things like Twenty One Pilots or Hamilton.

Seriously? Even here he's playing a relatively small place, not typically befitting a multiplatinum superstar. Wow, I guess that's not sold out either? Ouch. Which buyer's remorse is worse, him or Iggy?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 5 June 2016 14:36 (eight years ago) link
haha okay I know this was originally annnounced as a Target Center show (where the Timberwolves play) now it's at the "U.S. Bank Theater at Target Center"
U.S. Bank Theater[edit]Target Center can convert into a 2,500-to-7,500-seat theater known as the U.S. Bank Theater. The Theater contains a moveable floor-to-ceiling curtain system that allows the venue to be transformed based on specific show needs. In addition to concerts, the U.S. Bank Theater can also be used for family and Broadway shows.[24]
aka your show sold shit

...or the Weird Al version. Did he do a Macklemore already?

He just put Thrift Shop into a polka, which is what he usually does when he can't figure out good parody ideas for popular songs.

same. saw him in a 1000-cap shithole just before he broke big and he was pretty enjoyable. but i def pass for a Macklepologist around here

he's (among others) headlining Roskilde, orange stage holds up to 70000 people... will maybe seem empty
