seriously i love to be contrarian and if there was any semi-reasonable redeeming quality for this guy i'd love to find a reason to like him.
this ellen performance is such a mess. what is he even wearing why.

the distance between macklemore and mumfords or karmin seems awfully short. cheerful, encouraging, seemingly well-adjusted happytimes homeowner music for people who like to barbecue and hold babies and go to hot yoga and make car payments on time. nothing really wrong with it, except that it makes my skin crawl.

we live in a world where Drake is making bank, in that landscape Karmin is the definition of "lesser of two evils"

if you watch the snl performance on mute and with no prior knowledge of macklemore you will very possibly mistake it for an snl performance from the early 90s

the Karmin version of "Started From The Bottom" is better than the original, or at least more hilariously trolly

i don't know where you guys come from saying that it's terrible thin music... i would probably like the song if not for the brats who perform it. knowing how insufferably turdy macklemore and ryan lewis are causes me a great deal of anguish like noooo why do i have to hate this soooong
p.s. i also say "mac-ull-more" but i think the argument for "mac-le-more" might come from vintage seattle mariners utility player mark mclemore (mac-le-more), who our boy is supposedly named after

What's the deal with B.o.B. anyway? All I know about him is that he raps on "Airplanes," and I like that tune.

so this is a p standard shitty article about racism with one interesting/unintentionally hilarious + sad fact:
http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2013/04/19/racial-mockery-hopkins-high-sparks-outrage-black-student-handcuffed
The incident began on Feb. 13; when eight to 10 white members of the school's ski team came to school dressed in motley ensembles of do-rags, fur coats, white tank top undershirts, sagging pants and gold chains. One even had a fake marijuana joint tucked behind his ear. Somehow word spread that the students were celebrating a "Ghetto Spirit Day." Those who came to school in costume dispute this assertion, and claimed to school administrators that they were dressing up to mimic popular white rapper, Macklemore, who sings "Thrift Shop."
― 乒乓, Sunday, 21 April 2013 18:57 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno, the whole repeatedly being sanctimonious towards black people in his lyrics thing gives me a special hate-on towards him
wait, this guy has MORE songs with casual racism? ugh.

although granted it's unacceptable that macklemoose puts it in the song twice, neither time really in the way anyone else would use it xp
― some dude, Monday, 22 April 2013 14:13 (eleven years ago) link
Nah you're forcing it, there are enough reasons to clown Macklemore without picking that shit out.

you don't know how to use the phrase "come up"
― some dude, Monday, 22 April 2013 14:43 (eleven years ago) link
In the usage "to come up", yeah. But I've never heard "a come-up", which is what Macklemoo is doing here.
― how's life, Monday, 22 April 2013 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
when used as a noun it's usually "on the come-up" (or "creepin on ah come up" in bone thugs terms)
