that preview almost gave me a conniption when i saw it in the theater

jaymc still providing ilm with the valuable pov of people who don't really care about music i see

the sample and melody to the hook are decent. shame about everything else.

catchiness is not an indicator of quality

lol @ comparing Macklemore to Beck or (especially) the Beasties btw

o man i just rescreened the snl performance, just unbelievable, especially the non thrift store song

lol he did the Ellen show

It's basically just a Lonely Island song, no?

totally Ellen music

lol a longboard of course

his dancing

and pancho

he's really awkward to watch

it's painful really

lol jaymc 'your objections are conceptual, its a good song, whatever', but check out this counterpoint bro: its a terrible song

That's a good counterpoint. I think I disagree, though.

I don't know what this means.

I can't believe I haven't gone in on Ryan Lewis itt but FUCK RYAN LEWIS. His "fun" songs have no groove whatsoever and his "serious songs" are three times as bossy as a John Williams score. That guy is the fucking worst producer. This thread needs more Ryan Lewis slander.

I'm not saying that anyone criticizing Macklemore is misguided or anything. You probably all have perfectly good reasons to dislike him -- I didn't.

his sound is v thin, macklemores voice is v thin, they have no idea what theyre doin xp

hmm

also that sax loop is annoying af

catchiness is not an indicator of quality

Not always, but it often is for me. YMMV.

getting the feeling that its vital to a lot of ur identities that u hate macklemore & its just a convenience that his horrible music justifies it

if i admit to enjoying several g love and the special sauce songs in the past am i then allowed to dislike macklemore authentically, do i have to pay a tribute, just tell me

lol

seriously i love to be contrarian and if there was any semi-reasonable redeeming quality for this guy i'd love to find a reason to like him.

this ellen performance is such a mess. what is he even wearing why.

no idea what they're doing all the way to the bank, right?

it's the RFD: Light-hearted, whimsical indie hipster music that seemed specifically manufactured for Apple commercials -ification of rap, amirite?

a poncho, from a thrift shop, c'mon keep up here

haha yeah when laggy complained that he wore "silly clothes" on snl it's like uh...

his outfit on snl is clearly not from a thrift shop tho

also you can find nice clothes at thrift shops its not just some stupid joke

i mean you can dess like a fool for not that much money is not a v good critique of consumerism

the distance between macklemore and mumfords or karmin seems awfully short. cheerful, encouraging, seemingly well-adjusted happytimes homeowner music for people who like to barbecue and hold babies and go to hot yoga and make car payments on time. nothing really wrong with it, except that it makes my skin crawl.

who doesn't like barbeque

boy i sure do hate homeowners

ooooh you mean people who barbeque and hold babies and do yoga at the same time, phew *wipes brow*

Thought this was the privilege meme thread for a sec

hey, i get weirded out by nice things. it's nothing i'm particularly proud of, but that doesn't change the situation.

macklemore is ill-suited to curmudgery

I don't mind Karmin

Macklemore can die in a fire tho

I don't mind Karmin

.....

we live in a world where Drake is making bank, in that landscape Karmin is the definition of "lesser of two evils"

if you watch the snl performance on mute and with no prior knowledge of macklemore you will very possibly mistake it for an snl performance from the early 90s

there is no greater evil than karmin, not even macklemore

ya drake is mozart to those two

Karmin ia irritating but I can detect talent there; call it the Jessie J Effect

the Karmin version of "Started From The Bottom" is better than the original, or at least more hilariously trolly

i don't know where you guys come from saying that it's terrible thin music... i would probably like the song if not for the brats who perform it. knowing how insufferably turdy macklemore and ryan lewis are causes me a great deal of anguish like noooo why do i have to hate this soooong

p.s. i also say "mac-ull-more" but i think the argument for "mac-le-more" might come from vintage seattle mariners utility player mark mclemore (mac-le-more), who our boy is supposedly named after

wow that is a name i have not heard in forever
