Macklemore, "Same Love"

lollll

Wow that song is really embarrassing, he should have called it White Guilt.

white & guilty

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

I thought the most effective part was the fan who starts off sounding cool and gradually gets racist.

I didn't mind that part when I played it back (yes I played it again) but it's still kind of garbled compared to the bit immediately after it

I don't think I can make it through this song but I liked this:

Macklemore should battle rap Trump.

"As a company (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis LLC), we are committed to a long-term investment of our time, resources, finances and creative capacities towards supporting black-led organizing and anti-racist education & discourse.

We are engaging with four initial organizations and collectives whose work inspires and informs us: Black Lives Matter, People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, Youth Undoing Institutional Racism & Freedom School (a project of AFSC and The People's Institute), and Black Youth Project 100."

can we acknowledge that these are positive things or no? srs question.

i wonder waht kind of tax breaks Macklemore & Ryan Lewis LLC get

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

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./

Dying that E! had to get this up so fast that they completely missed the point of this verse

Truly the Randy Newman of our time

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

Agreed! I was asking to see just how committed this community is to giving dude even the teensiest tiniest shred of credit for anything at all.

Damn that's crazy

it's at 80k now but still pretty dire

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

perhaps he will mackle less now

i mean he probably should, i feel

"mackle less"

About 2,170 results (0.48 seconds)

"mackleless"

About 6,750 results (0.56 seconds)

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

shit, there were probably that many results on a given day on Twitter

was thinking the same

Opposite to macklemore is macklebeg u ignorant yanks

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

Deservedly in both cases.

oh hi crüt did you have a question, you can lower your hand :)

Minneapolis date tickets just popped up on Groupon, ouch

that is exquisite

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?

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

"Thrift Shop" rewrite: "Groupon Deal"

...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.

I'm gonna scalp some tix
got front row seats in my pocket
What is this, no business
this is fucking bullshit

i saw him a few years ago and it wasn't terrible in the context of how i imagined i would feel about a macklemore concert

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

tenacious d is still a thing?

lol I read that as Roadkill Festival, which seems about right

Haters gonna hate:
