Video: Macklemore & Ryan Lis FT. Eric Nally, Kool Moe Dee, Melle Mel, & Grandmaster Caz - Downtown

I read this and agreed with you 100%. Then I checked Spotify and he still has 24 million monthly listeners. This terrible song actually has 350 million streams
He even has songs after this with over half a billion streams. One nearly a billion
I guess he went full pop? I don’t blame him either. He tried to keep it real and pay homage and hip hop didn’t give a single fukk about it.

well he has 22 million but okay...considering he has a single that went diamond is that impressive?

Flo Rida has 22
Tyga has 25
Wiz has 27
Future has 36
Lil Baby has 30

He is no longer a success considering how big he was at his peak

Only song of his I like

 

[TripleAgent]

honestly...i don't even think he was ahead of his time. Thriftshop went DIAMOND breh. If this song was just better it probably sells 5-6 million too, people were ready for more Macklemore and Ryan Lewis but this shyt just bricked.

He makes a better single we're probably still hearing more about his music than the Bogey Boys clothing line.

Nah. That was a lucky meme song like Old Town Road. He was garbage. You get the Holy Trinity on a song and it's some fakkity garbage like this, you deserve to flop. He tried to fanagle some Hip-Hop cred and nobody fell for it.

The Macklemore/Iggy Azalea era was interesting and annoying to say the least

Macklemore wasn’t a bad rapper but his push was blatant and disgusting

Thriftshop was all he needed with that one. But he had a few more hits on the same album. He blew his load too early so to speak

He would have been out here making songs with lil Nas x and shyt. Getting promo deals with StockX or something


Instead we got jack Harlow

I agree completely that he’s fallen off tremendously. I was under the impression that he hadn’t released anything since the song with the pioneers. That he had basically faded into complete obscurity. I was shocked to see that he had songs after that one that were still putting up streaming numbers.
