Macklemore's album from when he was 16. OpenYourEyes (2000)

Much more oldschool, and this was pretty much pre-em. Interesting.

Also, 2000 isn't pre-Em.


I know that. But MMLP is when Em became a serious part of the rap game and real competition. He even mentions Em on a track but he was nowhere near the peak of white potential like he is now.

His style and rapping on this first track is dope.

Ain't ever checked him properly, but this is dope rapping, with good lyrics, don't see how it's trash at all.

No, because Macklemore was black when he was 16.

Why is it cool to hate on Macklemore? He is inc re edibly talented. You can say you don't like his musix, because it's all about tastes, but you can't say ALL his work is trash. It's clearly not.
Also, of course this album is not his best work, he was fucking 16 years old.
Macklemore is good, people. Deal with it.

No idea what some of you are on about @ total trash and how could a rap fan enjoy this lmao...

Did you even listen to it?

I only peeped the first track but what I heard was dope rhymes, really dope flow and delivery and valid commentary/smart ideas. How some of you phagitz can like Drake's fucking mind-puke and shitness in every direction and then say this is total trash is absurd :laughing:
