:zipped:

and how can you explain that the streets don't fuck with him ? :zipped:


Eminem used to be hated when he first came out because My Name Is sounded corny in comparison to Nas or Jay-z first albums but, everybody knew Eminem was an amazing mcee.
Macklemore ? adding a few melodies to your music don't make it good, the Heist is corny and mediocre/above average.

so we gonna act like there wasn't a lot of controversy when Eminem first came out ? he used to be criticized for making white music :confusion: Marshall Mathers LP is the album that proved everybody he was here to stay

As for macklemore, he has never been considered as a great rapper like Eminem and he isn't even in the discussion for the best white rappers of this era with Mac Miller, El-P & Yelawolf

Eventually quality of inspiration in the lyrics will count towards great emcee status. In that category Macklemore is like a fucking MLK of rap. Except he's white...

bet = black entertainment television. :zipped:

There was a lot of controversy when Nicki Minaj won best female hip hop artist in 2012 because people felt like her music was making black people look dumb. This is basically what scarface said a few weeks ago, he has nothing against you as long as you don't make black artists look dumb and stupid.

wanna know why Macklemore is not liked by blacks and why they don't consider him hip hop ? because if it doesn't relate to them it's not hip hop, if it's not about the obvious anti mainstream and similar shit subjects it's not hip-hop but pop. The reason why blacks don't fuck with mackle is, because he's not rapping for them, he's not rapping for whites, he's rapping for himself and does the music he wants.

That's why people fuck with Mac or El-P. Mac is talking about drugs, whew and you already got yourself black fans.

hip hop is more than a musical genre :y:

A lot of artists are being shitted on right now for not being "hip hop", just look at Kanye West for example.
Yeezus album of the year ? we're ok with that because isn't it isn't a bad album by any means but rap album of the year ? lol fuck outta here :zipped: him rapping doesn't make the album a rap album, that shit sounds like edm music. it's the same shit for macklemore, the beats on the heist are pop garbage

Psy is a rapper but do we consider him to be hip hop ? NO. If Macklemore is hip hop then so is Psy

Macklemore doesn't make music for himself. He represents a whole different kind of struggle. White kids with drug problems trapped in a public school system that sucks fucking balls. He also raps about how fucked up society is and how all people want to do is buy new shoes when there are people starving on the streets.

He's just about as real as you get if you give him a chance.

You can't say one struggle is more important than the other. There are just as many people who can relate to Macklemore as any other kind of hip-hop, if not more, and that's what makes him so big.

Macklemore is more hip hop than you or most of these rappers will ever be. Dude is a real hip hop head who grew up on backpack rap, and he used to be one of those backpackers so he knows his hip hop.

No one was hating on him when he made the XXL freshman cover, most of those people who hate on him now were saying he was dope and will blow up. Now that he actually did blow up, people are hating on him? Hip Hop forum fans are the most ungrateful pieces of shit ever tbh

I never said that made him good. In fact, it was the last thing I mentioned and I said he was big BECAUSE he is good, because his music speaks to millions.
