Macklemore, "Same Love"

yeah kinda think his superstar status is not sustainable but his core demo of college wites is very large and will support him in perpetuity

would assume he's going to shore up that base next go-round but i dunno, the guy did do an E! reality special, might try to go pitbull

feel like his mastery of the craft is not high enough to pittbull

but his core demo of college wites

and their moms

suspect the moms will move on

feel like his mastery of the craft is not high enough to pitbull

oh i agree, imo his best bet would be to carve out an audience of people who would love to support eminem in his weak culture jokes and maudlin ballads but find him a touch too obscene and shouty.

ryan lewis is obvs the mastermind of the operation like all the hits had some non macklemore person in the chorus

that E! reality special just makes me wonder if he can really settle for an "Atmosphere with more name recognition and a hit" audience now that he's tasted the american music awards

This crystallizes a lot for me; Macklemore is the hip-hop version of Dave Matthews Band.

visualize in fifteen years when macklemores fanbase is aging lol

if he's lucky! could also be the spin doctors

it all depends on the follow-up

feel like he has planted the proper grassroots for sustained narrow success

yeah, he's still self-released right? that's smart

yeah he just has a distro deal

hoping at least he'll slip off the top 40 and then be the kind of guy i only hear about when people are looking at successful touring acts and going "jesus who the fuck are all these people going to see macklemore"

sounds abt right

the thinking man's violent j

This is not his core fwiw.

I guess the Eastside teens who were thronging around Neumos for his free Heist release show are probably in college now, but at least around here his core audience is young af.

now if that ain't the saddest "i was there" ever

ha, I just saw the pictures. I assure you I was not there.

i think i'll have my own kids in college before "mackleless" jokes stop being funny to me

you are kind to Pitbull

how dare you

pitbull deserves our kindness he has given us so much

frankly, considering the weak reception given to "fireball," i feel we are currently in pitbull's debt

dudes I live in his hometown -- he needs to run for mayor of Sweetwater and stay put.

I did see a Pitbull roll at my local sushi joint last Friday: tuna, eel, and culo.

oh i see you want him all to yourself, well too bad, he's mr worldwide now

that's not culo means

culo is for the people

well if theyre not in college yet

Macklemore may be looped in with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea when it comes to criticism surrounding the appropriation of black culture, but he's making a clear point today in separating himself from them.

In fact, the rapper just dropped his latest song with Ryan Lewis called "White Privilege II"—a follow-up to the original 2005 track "White Privilege"—in which he not only expresses his determination to rally behind the black community, but he also calls out both Cyrus and Azalea for their lack of attention to the people they "stole" their music from.

in some ways I feel like Macklemore is giving black people too much attention

like, I listened to this song and for the first 5 minutes I was overwhelmed by the staggering thirst level

macklemore is the thirstiest artist of our time, which is obvs saying a lot

by the time I got to the end I was like "damn Macklemore; here, have a Schweppes"

that commercial with him and russell wilson that comes on during football is like, who is supposed to be looking good here

macklemore is really jacking brother ali's flow on that track.

Macklemore, moar like Thirstinmore
