Macklemore, "Same Love"

dudes I live in his hometown -- he needs to run for mayor of Sweetwater and stay put.

I did see a Pitbull roll at my local sushi joint last Friday: tuna, eel, and culo.

oh i see you want him all to yourself, well too bad, he's mr worldwide now

that's not culo means

culo is for the people

"Culo (Pa' Mi Gente)"

pitbull is literally an extremely good rapper fyi

I guess the Eastside teens who were thronging around Neumos for his free Heist release show are probably in college now, but at least around here his core audience is young af.

well if theyre not in college yet

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.

in some ways I feel like Macklemore is giving black people too much attention

like, I listened to this song and for the first 5 minutes I was overwhelmed by the staggering thirst level

macklemore is the thirstiest artist of our time, which is obvs saying a lot

by the time I got to the end I was like "damn Macklemore; here, have a Schweppes"

that commercial with him and russell wilson that comes on during football is like, who is supposed to be looking good here

macklemore is really jacking brother ali's flow on that track.

Macklemore, moar like Thirstinmore

yah it's astonishing biting

i mean i feel like the song..i dunno it's a fundamentally dumb guy trying to do the right thing?

in some ways, it might be challenging to a large part of his listenership....and it's certainly better than Eminem's narrative of how his whiteness was a handicap that needed to be overcome

as a song to actually listen to it's trash

he has a really bad voice quite possibly one of the worst rap voices ever

I didn't listen to it, but my guess is it's more like a savvy and opportunistic guy who manages to convince himself he's doing the right thing

His response to winning the grammy, where he said "I robbed you" to Kendrick or whatever was actually a perfect example of how white dude privilege-checking exercises can just be masked self-congratulation. I'm sure this is more of the same.

he just wants a nice pat on the head and for someone to tell him hes a good boy

macklemore is the worst so im not trying to defend him or anything but this is a bit of a catch 22 situation: if he just accepts the award people would criticize him for not acknowledging how fucked it is that he won over Kendrick; if he does what he does then he's criticized for being self-congratulatory. and there is no third option, he can't literally give the award to Kendrick, i.e. he could give him the little statue I guess but that's not "the award"

who cares?

people on the internet

As a fb friend said, next probably comes a song about trans people where he mentions that once he danced around in his mom's heels

he did just accept the award he told kendrick he robbed him in a txt lol

haha id forgotten that.

guess i should have read one of the 1000 thinkpieces about it

he said he was gonna mention it but then the music played him off and he got bewildered lmao

the best acceptance speech wldve been "choke on deez kendrick" respect the art form ffs

my god what an epic fn feeb

ok lol

music was playing, what did you expect him to do, put words to music?

it can be very traumatic to receive taunting messages from the people who robbed you

i feel like macklemore at some point in his mind is gonna get to this point where he's like "well, i TRIED with black ppl..."

This is the guy that took a golf club to John Arne Riise?

i don't think ppl were criticizing him for taking the second option, but rather for how he did it (broadcasting his personal apology text on social media, which wtf)

anyway i refuse to listen to this

xp. ha ok now I have the full information about this that is horrendous

I didn't listen to it, but my guess is it's more like a savvy and opportunistic guy who manages to convince himself he's doing the right thing

oh please listen to it, please please PLEASE

it is many things but "savvy" is not one of them, at least for the first 4 minutes

MACKLE LESS
