How about them?

maybe they're a slightly fairer fight
― alpine static, Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:16 (eleven years ago) link
Real talk I'd listen to nothing but Spaceghostpurrp and Main Attrakionz for a month if it meant I never had to see Macklemore's name again.
― thraeds of life (The Reverend), Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:21 (eleven years ago) link
It makes sense that someone who doesn't like MA or Spaceghostburp might enjoy Mackiemore though.

i dont think anyone here really reps for either main attrakionz or sgp

I though 808 was great, but not feeling the album, like the other Green Ova more (Shady Blaze)

ha i like main attrakionz a lot

i really hope people irl pronounce their name phonetically
― some dude, Thursday, 1 November 2012 23:12 (eleven years ago) link
Not saying anyone here reps for ma or sgp but I sure do read their names a lot on the internet. Just saying id rather listen to this corny dude than those currently "cool" dudes, that's all.
Definitely know where the Rev stands on Macklemore by now, tho.

this guy is vile, but i find much to enjoy in that thrift shop song
been a bit of a cult favourite at parties the past few months or so

ha, to be fair I've been a lot more cogent in my macklemore hate on twitter than I have here but don't feel like rehashing all the stuff I said there so just settling for base-lvl hatin' instead

safe, acceptable, Bellevue High School class of 2014
Roll the year back a bit and allow for all the other eastside burbs and this is like 50% of my students. They all seem to love the shit out of these dudes.
― joygoat, Friday, 2 November 2012 00:08 (eleven years ago) link
I like Main Attrakionz but their problem is that they're not important to anyone. Mackiemore stakes his career on being incredibly important to a certain audience. So in a sense he wins even though I kinda hate him.

How the fuck did this guy make it to #1 in NZ w/"Thrift Shop"?

Fucking Macklemore is number one on the Hot 100. I'm more ashamed of America right now than the time they re-elected George W. Bush

The Reverend wrote this on thread WHAT KILLED THE UNDERGROUND on board I Love Music on Aug 29, 2007
I haven't read the whole thread, but the Defari & J-Zone bits at the top and bottom are definitely what's up. I hate the hiphop scene here, because the only things that get championed are nerd rappers with names like Common Market and Optimus Rhyme (actually, that's a great name, but damn if I wanna listen to anyone who calls himself that) and Macklemore, who raps about his white liberal guilt, and anything that sounds like it was made by actual humans, instead of backpack-bots gets overlooked.

it's an impt point
i remember thinking it was so weird that mix-a-lot was from seattle, it was before grunge and shit so seattle didn't really have much of an image in my brain
― My Lol's Beyond (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 24 January 2013 01:01 (eleven years ago) link
but i always wanted to hang out with the swass at Dick's
mix got his roots in that mid-80s west coast electro scene so it makes perfect sense
― The Reverend, Thursday, 24 January 2013 01:03 (eleven years ago) link
I met the table is the table in front of Dick's on Broadway (true story)
yeah totally does, but you know this was way back so that stuff didn't really travel far you know...it's more just thinking about before people had much of an idea of what seattle was as a city! kinda trippy.
i'm listening to this
it's really bad obv
has anyone noticed something kinda noticed this kinda annoying what he enunciates words? like his "Ps" really pop in an annoying way and the sibilance on his "S's" suck, maybe it's just the tone of his voice & the say it's recorded
man the rhymesayers dudes must be kinda salty watching this dude go huge with a way worse version of their style
