Is Macklemore an industry plant?

[Wild self]

everyone's an industry plant. they only want black ppl doing the ignorant music and white ppl doing the positive music. scarface said it in his interview. chuck d said it in his too.

to Chuck D. for speaking out that intelligent shyt. Too bad nikkaS, both young and old, are trying to wipe him out of history books altogether.

This isn't about whether this guy is talented or not or has lyrics...

It's just fishy this guy came out of nowhere seemingly. He comes off as a gimmick to me.

All I'll ever see this him as is a white dude that co-opts the struggles of gay people without actually experiencing them

And using black music to make money. All the while putting both down simulatenously and turning them into a talking point.

The thing that gets to me about this guy is this; the LGBT community has put this guy on a pedestal for championing the rights of it (which isn't a bad thing). But there have been many other black rappers that have spoken out against homophobia before him...yet that somehow has gotten erased from history as this guy came onto the scene.

I feel that the people that listen to Macklemore WOULDN'T listen to someone like Eminem so he can't even be placed on his level or on the level of other white or black rappers or rappers period. In their eyes, ALL rap/hip-hop is violent, homophobic, misogynist, criminal, and every other negative term you can think of so they wouldn't even give it a chance.

Example: I was at a bar in Bushwick and I was talking to this older white woman (about 30 something) who was a fan of his and she said that Macklemore is the only rapper she ever listened to.

Discuss...

[Pinyapplesuckas]

my question is what do you do to have enough money to just pay Warner Bros for promotion?

could someone like Nas finish his contract up and just pay a label to promo him? what kind of money is Caclemore sitting on?
