Benne posted:Macklemore is a weird case to me. He spent years building a devoted fanbase in the Seattle underground scene. I will admit that his actual rapping doesn't do much for me, but he and Ryan Lewis write some pretty drat good beats and he tackles some compelling social issues, as well as his own personal battle with drug addiction. He's a talented guy and I've been waiting for his breakthrough for a while now. I heard thrift shop song on the radio in the car and it really struck a chord with me since I love thrifting and I thought it had a great anti-conspicuous consumption message. I listened to it a few more times and still thought it was great, but then I made the mistake of watching the music video, which, although not horrible by any means, undid a bit of the magic of the anti-consumeristic message for me. Then some weeks later I listened to "Same Love", instantly loved it, and couldn't reconcile that it was the same artist(s). I really have to get around to listening to the whole album at some point.
