I'm not a Macklemore fan, but this song is an automatic hit :yeshrug:

Its quirky, a little experimental, Macklemore raps about absolute nothing on there, and he has more OG rap artists on one track than you'll find in your favourite rapper's catalogue :yeshrug:
I can't tell if I like it yet though :lupe:

If a 20 something rock fan can know and respect Led Zepplin, a 20 something rap fan can know and respect Melle Mel or Caz. They STARTED the shyt!
them nikkas desperate for "relevance"
and he's desperate for credibility
:manny:

there's a LOT of old nikkas still making dope music that still get props(Masta Ace, Craig G, KRS, and Kool G Rap still spitting) and cats like Rakim, BDK, and Slick RIck will always be respected

I don't understand why Melle Mel and Caz deserve special treatment

Searching for credibility would be doing a song with Future, or one of them nikkas. They fit the theme of the song. The point is these dudes deserve to be remembered and respected for starting the game, if nothing else. Not saying anything else.

And the song is super trash. Extra special trash.

Gimmick, formula, rap. Will it be a hit? Sure. I haven't heard a rap pop song like this in a minute. But it still feel too much like a gimmick.
