basically. Same with G-eazy...as with like 60% of white rappersmacklemore is so damn basic as a rapper
it's like a song from a disney musical about race
he doesnt use his words to express anything, no art, no poetry, just a flat ass string of sentences
He's been doing this shyt long enough and in the same lane for long enough that im sure he's genuine. My mulatto friend was a big fan of him some 5 years ago and still is.I really think dude is genuine..he really just raps about his thoughts and life experiences. For every song with an "agenda" he has a song about his own downfalls, trials and tribulations. He's not a bad rapper either. Dope song. Still don't get all the hate for him on this site
Nah...there are plenty of dope white rappers. He's just not one of them and he tries too hard to pander.
Rhythmless, swagless, no inflection, his patterns are basic, the beats he rhymes on are dated, and he has no "snap".
There is no conviction behind his words and he just raps "at" the beat instead of being a part of it or bending it with his words...or bending his words with the rhythm. Son doesn't have "it".
Honestly it's worth listening to, at least the first four minutes and 30 seconds.
i'm not listening to this shyt.
but..as a cac myself, i'll say Macklemore is what hip-hop gets for accepting a drug addled, racist song making, cross dresser in Eminem.
so now hip-hop has an agenda driven, pandering, terrible and an actual homosexual white rapper begging for acceptance while getting plaudits and rich from it.
why do white rappers all need some goofy gimmick.
i respect someone like G-Eazy who just makes music and gets on with it way more than Macklemore.
