shyt is dope ass hell

Label: Macklemore LLC.

Over a decade of grind, this is not an over night celebrity, he's been grinding hard.
Fallen off, came back, drug problems, came back, fell off, came back stronger and better.

I usually agree with your posts, but not this.

Being addicted to syrup is not something people need to hear the struggle about. Who told him to go drinking syrup??? That's just like rich people getting strung out on coke and X. What the hell were you doing getting caught up on that to begin with?

I can't give a pass to someone struggling through problems they created for themselves.

I normally agree with you on this but he's come through his self inflicted problem and made a success out of himself. For once, I can applaud that.

Like when people get fat then lose it all again, people give them crazy props just cause they lost the weight. I'm like that's how you're supposed to be anyway:childplease:

I'd agree if it was some other vice. But drinking syrup is not something to be proud of doing or beating. I give props to Macklemore for working the system perfectly. But that's how it works. With that said, his story is being overshadowed by his singles. So it really doesn't matter.

Thrift Shop is a fun joint. Nothing special. It could be much worse.

Honestly, I think we could use a bit more brand-bashing instead of the typical masturbation
