I was in the goodwill just yesterday so makelmore was in my mind, what a coincidence. Anyway that aside looks like Mackelmore was sleepin till 10 months ago
Oh shit! This is actually way more than i expected!
Out if all possible artists to make a protest song it's fuckin goofy ass Mackelmore? Goddamnit. Now i gotta go listen to some of his shit. At least the one in the college protests. Who knows? Maybe his music will get more radical going forward. We could all be singing revolution songs by makelmore !
fuck me, wouldn't that be something?
Macklemore has always meant well. I remember when he won the Grammy for best rap album, he was apologizing because he knew he only got it because he was white. Kendrick Lamar was the very obvious choice. His music is pretty hit or miss, but he seems like an alright dude
This bit right here, his understanding of his place and what it improperly awarded him, is exactly why Macklemore is maybe one of five Amerikan whites I exempt from my lambasting of crackers and their works
who are the other 4
Dolly Parton, Marshall Mathers, Lady Gaga, and John Darnielle.
All names here subject to disfellowship if they act up; I've only recently started coming around to the fact that maybe I was too hard on Marshall, and that he wasn't the Elvis-assed snake I read him as for years.
Dolly Parton is on my shitlist for the dixie stampede
...Why the hell does she run a restaurant chain now what the hell
Please tell me the only mark against Stevie Nicks was interpersonal ish with other members of Fleetwood Mac.
dolly parton is worth $650M
his most well-known song is about thrift shopping, and in 2012 he made a song called same love about gay rights. i think he's always been a decent person but also got rich, but palestine seems to have really shaken him into action
Wonder if he has like a fan mail address so I can send him some Lenin and shit.
