So Macklemore...

So Macklemore...

Postby Rafael » Jun 22nd, '13, 15:30

Well, ever since Thrift Shop came out, I thought this guy was the corniest to ever touch the mic. I also even despised this dude for his corny ass raps. I was actually a little bit more impressed by Can't Hold Us.

But my friend that I know only loves real Hip Hop said he was actually a good rapper, and I believed her because I thought that he could actually rap, but his concepts weren't good.. So she recommended The Heist... So listened and HOLY SHIT... I was blown away!

The album is fucking amazing, his concepts are amazing and that album contains some of the best songs I've heard this year. Ten Thousand Hours, Same Love, Make the Money, Neon Cathedral, Jimmy Iovine, Wing$, Starting Over... Just some tracks that are fucking amazing. The production is also top fucking notch, props to Ryan Lewis. That instrumental track on here was bliss.

I did feel like some tracks were fillers, like Gold, Thin Line, A Wake, and even the ScHoolboy Q track was Ehh.. but Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us make so much more sense now that I heard the entire project.

Overall its still a great, and I definitely take back what I said about Macklemore.
8/10

Can't believe I once called this guy the 2013 Vanilla Ice.. :facepalm

Don't worry, this is how everyone feels about him. Fortunately enough, I knew him before Thrift Shop was huge so I didn't judge him because of that song. I think I heard Wings first. I don't know, I knew him a little before the XXL freshmen cover but only checked his music when he got on it.

His cypher was dope.

But yeah, The Heist is a great album, loved by the public with great to amazing production and good rapping. I like Thrift Shop though. It's a funny song.

Same for me, heard him from Wings, thought the song was pretty cool. Now he is one of my favorite artists

album has some cool songs but it's just a 6-7/10 album, above average tbh.

It's a very limited artist

This is his first album.... Let him grow as artist.

Yeah, can't believe I slept on him for so long, any other songs from him you can recommend?

I did too until yesterday when I heard this album. You should really give a chance. Macklemore has a message, and I can't believe I slept on this artist... :facepalm

I know, I heard some songs from it this morning and look at how much he's grown since then.. I'm just sayin the guy has massive potential and he's hopefully going to grow as an artist.

Its called growth and he's pretty early in his career, that's like comparing Infinite to SSLP, and then comparing SSLP to TES smh

listened to his album once, thought it was the worst thing ever released.

If Macklemore is more than just an average rapper, then Drake is the best of the best.
