Didn’t expect that. I don’t typically listen to Macklemore, I admit I’m more of a Tribe, Kendrick, MF Doom, Deltron, Mac Miller kinda guy.
Is he good? Subjective question, but maybe given the above taste you can clue me in. Would love to embrace a new artist.
Yeah I don’t really listen to Macklemore much. More of my partners thing, and like you, I listen to Doom, Kendrick, Tyler the Creator, old-school Kanye before he lost it, Wutang Biggie, etc. He rhymes pretty well and has some pretty sick raps. Seattle home town hero.
I love that you guys had to list like 5 MC’s to explain what kinda hip hop you listen to.
Is that an invalid form of communication? This seems like critique, but I don’t understand the how or why. Maybe I’m misinterpreting.
Totally valid. Just so specific like u gotta be certain nobody misinterprets your hip hop credibility.
Haha, I see your PoV, had never considered that. I guess to me I was just like sharing ice cream flavors I like :-)
I am too old to think I’m cool, hahaha
Haha for sure. Being cool is an illusion.
Check out his earlier album Language of my World. It’s fantastic and a lot less poppy than his modern stuff.
He is, just hit play and skim through. It’s not hard at all these days to get a taste of an artist.
Macklemore has these conscious rap lyrics regularly on his albums somewhere between the more radio friendly songs. I mean they had “same love” back on The Heist album, “White Privilege II” on This Unruly Mess I’ve Made album and there probably are more than I can think of.
I have not followed him closely in recent years but I guess most of his music is still stylistically poppy which I personally am not a fan of.
