Am I the only one who hears a connection between Hot Chip's Playboy and thrift shop?

I guess by some measurements "Thrift Shop" is slightly better than "I Love College," but otoh the damn, that's a cold ass honky line is the worst thing to ever happen

there hasn't been non-hatable white frat rap* since House of Pain
* black frats exist and they listen to rap too, just in case you forgot; in fact, all rap can be described as "frat rap"

I dunno, the whole repeatedly being sanctimonious towards black people in his lyrics thing gives me a special hate-on towards him. Plus the yeaaaaarrrrs of people trying to shove this guy down me throat.

a couple years ago, i was in a bar and heard this guy explaining really loud and insistent how REAL RAP was better than all that fake shit on TV about bling and guns and cars and shit, that REAL RAP was positive and enlightening, and all the gangsters and dealers and bitches and shit were a con, a commercial ploy, the debasement of a pure form in the hands of perpetrating phonies. there were only about four people in the place, huge place, and i was so fucking to tempted to go over there and beg him to shut up, maybe just hold it down, was so painful to hear. i of course refrained.
just watched "thrift shop". ha! how wrong was i? he's a star.

just ctrl-F'd this thread and the word "precious" has not yet been used to describe macklemore
i can deal with "hateful" but can we please cut it out with smugly self-satisfied rappers?
― cocktail onion (fennel cartwright), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 04:45 (eleven years ago) link
for those who havent seen the snl performance it is for sure appointment tv, even more so than his records it really came through what an amateur he is, like his voice is so wack it didnt cut through the beat or ride the beat or anything it was just obliterated by the beat, but it didnt seem to be a mixing issue, you could hear him but not hear him, its the sort of basic ass thing you could tell he just hasnt noticed or thought about or worked on, and then his whole stage presence was simultaneously so theatrical and so aimless, it didnt have any connection to the music or anything particularly, he was just wearing silly clothes and jumping around arrhythmically , you could tell his whole plan was just to put a ton of energy out there and hopefully the crowd gets hyped up, it was all really crazily entry level, like i already thought he sucked bigtime and i was shocked at how bad it was
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 05:01 (eleven years ago) link
sound mix on snl is always ass tho
― sandra dayo connor (The Reverend), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 05:21 (eleven years ago) link
On the radio here the DJs are particular about pronouncing his name "Mack - luh - more" which is just so much more precious than "Mackel - more", is it really the former?
i was shocked at how bad it was

My kid is so into Thrift Shop right now. He keeps trying to show me youtubes of like Minecraft Thrift Shop and the like. Yesterday, he was like "you know the part that he sings over and over again? I memorized that!" He pronounces it Mackel-uh-more.

So here are my thoughts on Macklemore. Before I ever heard his music, I got the impression that ILM thought he was wack, so when "Thrift Shop" blew up, I was like, ugh, this is *that* clown. But then people I love and care about -- but people who aren't at all invested in hip-hop or what Macklemore "represents" -- started talking about how great "Thrift Shop" was. And I had to defend why I didn't like him, but I realized I couldn't. I mean, something something anti-bling something something appropriation. Whatever. The song is pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. Catchy as fuck. The end.

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
i'm not impressed by this guy in the slightest, but I find the whole "omg a white guy taking a critical stance on hip-hop culture while appropriating it at the same time, the NERVE" thing ironic when it comes from folks who dig Beck & the Beasties.
