Hip-Hop needs to stop complaining about Macklemore and just up your lyrical content

K Dot did all of that......
I don't see how you can complain if you never listened to his album. I seriously had to educate some young nikkas about that today. They just blindly riding for King Kendrick and my first question was
Did you hear Mackl'es album?
nikkas look like
So I'm like.. ight then. Until you actually break down his bars, analyze his content, and decipher his flow/wordplay/creativity or lack thereof I don't want to here your opinion

Man u could get a rapper who has the lyrics of Nas and Rakim with the Passion of Pac the political rap sense of Cube and the intensity of DMX and he would still lose to that cac

Your job as an artist isn't to touch subjects that reach listeners everywhere...Its to tell your truth..If Lil Reese is angry at the world and wants to kill every nikka on an enemy block, the hip hop thing is to express it...fukk if Becky in Idaho doesn't understand or relate..

Exactly
Why do we have to "up" anything. Why do we have to "appeal" to listeners everywhere. Why? So we can tap dance on Jimmel Kimel live and get some "good boy golden trophies" from the grammys?
This is our fukking culture. Its for US not THEM. T/S sounds like a fukking c00n.
Just to keep it 100… Mackle didn't do anything wrong. I'm surprised at how many people haven't listened to his album and are just writing the nikka off. Now, I can say he's not my cup of tea just looking at him and listening to his singles but I can't say son is trash or he's dope until I hear his project.
Its like the older conservative Nas fan who yells he wants old Nas but chooses not to recognize the greatness of Untitled and Life is Good because its new and the fan didn't listen.
Why are we making such a big deal over the fukkin Grammys? Seriously, no one has won a Grammy in Hip-Hop except a HANDFUL of pop crossover acts. Who cares

Yea, cuz Macklemore is spitting those gems, yo.
The white boy doesn't excel in any of those categories. He actually kinda fails in them except originality.
I'm going to stream his album on grooveshark.com and listen. I do know off the top there are a major red flag that rubs me the wrong way.
1. Why didn't Frank Ocean get the same praise and accolades for carrying out the agenda
That first single about shopping at Salvation didn't make him a superstar now he's all over the world.
