I wish I knew people in real life that appreciated Ben and Ryan as much as I do. Every time I try to convince someone to get into them they are iffy and never do it. Some of the most real and raw songs I have ever heard are from them. The level of creativity and passion that goes into their songs is like nothing I have seen before. Their lyrics are so personal and absolutely genius and heartfelt and leave me in awe every time I listen to them. I love them so much and what they do. Really incredible group.
I respect Macklemore so much more for putting his truth out there for the public to see that he is human. This is encouraging and I'll buy the album when it comes out.
One of the best things you can give the world is inspiration to be better. Macklemore, you do this daily and you should be so proud. Congrats on parenthood; I'm really looking forward to the new album!
Just listened to 'growing up' and its an insanely good song. Ed Sheeran on the vocals is like a cherry on top of the cake. I'm honestly blown away. I can imagine how amazing the album will turn out to be. You have my support, Macklemore
Even though you're not going to go out and listen to his early music, on his first album "Language of my world" he talks a lot about white politics, white privilege, gentrification, and oppression. He even has a song called white privilege he did with XPerience. He is definitely a rapper with a lot of consciousness. Just take the time to look it up.
Absolutely brilliant artist. One of the few who rap about what they lived and not what they're meant to be. Same loved introduced me to him, but every other album and ep is so good! Loved the original version of "otherside" (as well as the remix) , "at the party" and many others. Consistently good. He seems really humble and happy to take the piss out of himself. It's not all guns sex and violence with this chap, just honest and sometimes very moving, tragic experiences (not all rap needs to be violent and aggressive lies ) expressed brilliantly with Ryan Lewis who seems to know how to translate the words into music. These 2 are a duo that will revolutionise the industry. Absolute geniuses at what they do. I would love to watch them work together and see how well they click. Well done to you both, years have hard work paid off. Just keep doing what you're doing and don't conform to what the industry tell you to do, regardless of record sales.
Grammys should not be awarded only for seriously intense craftwork. There is more to music than how well composed your songs are. There is more to musical appreciation than serious contemplation. How music impacts culture is the ultimate recognition. Feeling guilty for being white is SAD. Being made to feel unworthy is SAD. The award was well-deserved for creative music which impacted not just American society, but around the world. Not just the fans of the genre, but even old people like me knew the Thrift Store song. There are always other great artists at award time. But which ones most moved the masses with their songs that year? Macklemore needs to appreciate himself and his awards more than he does. Maybe one day he will see this.
First off, I'm a huge fan! You say that during Trisha's pregnancy you put your recovery first and you knew that it would take awhile for her to realize how important this was for you. For a lack of better terms... how long would you say that process took? Just wondering? I've been clean & sober for 4 years this July and I'm trying to hold onto hope that my family will forgive me for the bad decisions I made while I was using. I haven't given up hope yet! Also, I'm coming to see you in Portland on October 6th! Thanks for being a voice and inspiration to me while being sober. You have no idea how much it means to me to have an artist I can look up to. Thank you Macklemore. I really mean it.
I've loved this man for along time, watching this just makes him a bigger role model. It shows that even one of your biggest role models aren't perfect. :D
rap is not my genre of choice but hands down he is one of my top 5 favorite artist of all time. He speaks his mind likke nobody's biz and what's not to love and adore that comes from that
Look Mr More I like you and I am black at the end of the day, it's that you are make good music and you have a message to pass on also what does this it matter as long you're true to yourself. Continue on doing good music be true to the Holy Spirit!! 👊👊💓
+Adrian Cardenas That's what being an alcoholic does to your voice. It takes years of drinking to get it that way, but I'm glad he's sobering up now :)
I mean... as someone who struggles with sobriety I don't think its necessarily realistic... caffeine is a drug too... find me someone who uses no meds, no drugs, no alcohol and no caffeine... cause that's a either one extremely strong or boring ass motherfucker

That's the same with me with the amity affliction
I'm with you 100% on that
those were my thoughts... I respect the lyrics they sing, not the beat they make!

Natalie ☾ I relate 🤘🏼 they're usually like huh? Who? Or they think he's cheesy when in reality most of their music is raw and hit at home
We can't support this guy enough. Salute to you, Ben!
Love this man on every level. The honesty alone...
I was about to say where the fuck have they been...

I respect Macklemore so much more for putting his truth out there for the public to see that he is human. This is encouraging and I'll buy the album when it comes out.

Ben and Ryan are two beautiful people. In and out.
One of the best things you can give the world is inspiration to be better. Macklemore, you do this daily and you should be so proud. Congrats on parenthood; I'm really looking forward to the new album!

Can't wait to hear their new album coming out next month!

Good job on the visuals! Turned out really nice. So excited for the new album to drop.
Hermilo Perez III Andrew Trost was the DoP for this at MTV - thank you for saying that, and I can't wait to share this with him =) =) =)

Much love from Seattle 💚💙
"I feel as if she likes Snoop Dogg"
Awesome inspiring in 2018!
excited to see how they are going to follow up
Ryan Lewis sounds/looks like a young Dr. House.
love yu bro
his voice is ASMR
This is awesome!
Gin and juice calms her down? Me too Macklemore me too
IKR
Amazing!
For some reason I had it in my head he was austrialian
Were you confusing him with Iggy Azalea? In which case that is very unfortunate.
+alimon89 I like iggy too
That farmers tan on ryans head
Music at 1:58 anyone? Sounds dope.
Ryans tan line :D
Seriously can we talk about this!
Your parents love you
Deep.
What is the OST after 9:00 ? :)
WHAT IS THE SONG AT 2 MINUTES???????
BOOM!!!
He's well fit!
a blazers jersey haha hell yeah mack repping the northwest
thats my truth and if i sensor that im not fully human - damn
I only want to know the name of your favorite brand of cloth. I love the way you dress.
I'm going to show this to my contrarian friends who hate M&RL
I loved hearing what they had to say, but damn. Why are both of their voices so raspy? It was a little hard to get through at some points, haha.
+Adrian Cardenas That's what being an alcoholic does to your voice. It takes years of drinking to get it that way, but I'm glad he's sobering up now :)
+DM lover what about Ryan Lewis
Published on Aug 20, 2015 ? it's October
Song at 1:40?
song at 00.16?
The faster you raise the harder you fall. He fell hard. People are now embarrassed to say they listen to Macklemore
You're done😢
he's a pure talent, even eminem admitted it, idk what's wrong with kendrick, mack even defends black people, what's wrong, kendrick?
I digg him... his lyrics are what hip hop is missing. More storytelling and less rhymes that mean nothing. also...... "buckshot" is the best..
um, money does bring happiness if your poor enough
SWEET HOME TACOMA!!!!
Eminem
Macklemore
Kendrick Lamar
Joyner Lucas
Boss !
he speaks like a robot
...and how can you say you never wanted to recreate thrift shop.. has he not heard his own first single "downtown"...little late now
Is Ryan in fake tan? 2.03
#SharkiesSupportYouBen @thesharkfacegangleader @macklemorepro
Wait, so who was Growing Up about if his child is a girl?
pretty normal until.. y know, smoke some weed! lol
Addicted to Weed? WTF
Yah you can be addicted to weed, people are also addicted to eating sofas. Is it really that far fetched.
Right, that's more croaky voice than I can handle
I mean... as someone who struggles with sobriety I don't think its necessarily realistic... caffeine is a drug too... find me someone who uses no meds, no drugs, no alcohol and no caffeine... cause that's a either one extremely strong or boring ass motherfucker
