i love the zionist smears where they’re like “if you take all this guy’s criticisms of israel and change them to be criticisms of jews, he starts to sound really antisemitic! plus he hates israel, so what does that tell you about antizionism?”
“wait Macklemore is based?”
When I read the title I thought you were comically mocking them, when in fact you were just repeating them verbatim, word for word.
Many such cases with zionists
Dude what. I never knew Macklemore was this cool?!
For you
i don’t like his haircut still, but i respect the hell out of him.
For real.
Conditional support until he finds a barber that doesn’t fuck his shit up.
Himbo with a conscience > the entire liberal media apparatus
The bar is truly in hell when “conscience” is enough to clear it.
If you deny, downplay and obfuscate Israeli atrocities like the liberal media has been doing, not only do you lack a conscience, you drain it from good natured people around you like Israel drains the nutsacks of KIA’d soldiers.
I think he’s been pretty pro Palestinian for years. And he made a song, Hind’s Hall that went pretty viral on tiktok.
To be clear, he isn’t the only artist to make music about this.
The linked tweet includes a video of Macklemore live performing Hind’s Hall, with some updated lyrics (for example, speaking to Kamala). The replies are people saying “I agree with all of the lyrics”
It’s a new song with several Palestinian artists. I linked the music video in music
I’m actually at a point of having to question if Macklemore’s going to end up being this generation’s Eminem, like-- the one mainstream white dude who actually gets a plate at the rap game’s cookout. (Yeah, I know there’s like two or three other actually-based white rappers; but do you rly think your average zoomer or gen-alpha knows who RA the Rugged Man, El-P, or Aesop Rock are?)
Mate, No, not even close. Nevermind that hip hop already seems to be in a death spiral, Macklemore is not and will not ever be close to Eminem in popularity. He’s probably not even the most visible contemporary white rapper
Nevermind that hip hop already seems to be in a death spiral,
I’m not so sure ‘death spiral’ is the right term. I’m not gonna bullshit it’s grim, but there’s a good handful of emcees who seem more interested in resetting the board than just smackin it off the table. (Mostly aligned with TDE and pgLang.)
Macklemore is not and will not ever be close to Eminem in popularity.
Right now. But Em is old, and never mind the fact that Death of Slim Shady actually seems to be Em back on his pins-- he can’t keep it up forever. There’ll be another, and I don’t think El-P or Aes are that visible either. God knows RA ain’t.
I’m not gonna bullshit it’s grim
As someone who knows nothing it seems pretty good from the outside? Like hiphop is still a massive genre. How is it looking grim?
It’s a ‘massive’ genre, but all of our most talented and most likely to be ‘next up’ are all caught in slave deals and/or being shelved by their labels in favor of easily-controlled, easily-watered down puppets. That’s not even getting into predatory artists who establish their own artist labels specifically to take people who WOULD be up-and-coming and cut them off at the knees by making them a writer or producer instead of a main attraction themselves. (See also: Aubrey Graham’s “OVO Sound”, also known as the “OVO Sweatshop” from how many talented Toronto artists got made into ghostwriters and had they sounds stolen and amalgamated into Aubrey’s own after signing.)
There are no Tupacs, Biggies, or Nases anymore, and it’s that way by design. The people currently running the show are all either settlers or misleaders, leading to yet another genre that we pioneered and advanced getting Elvis’d by the white man and all of the sell-outs bearing their water.
Like, Aubrey Graham was on top of the game for years; if that’s not an absolute indictment of what today’s hip-hop was prior to the Kendrick beef, I don’t know what is.
Fd signifier has a good video essay about this in the context of the Drake/Kendrick beef. frauddogg hit all the points of the video if you don’t have over an hour to spare
I’d like to see the video too, it sounds interesting and I like the guy
But Em is old, and never mind the fact that Death of Slim Shady actually seems to be Em back on his pins
Eminem is one of the best selling artists of all time let alone the most popular Hip hop artist of all time. I’m saying it’ll be extremely hard for Macklemore to reach his status, now or ever.
Right now, Post Malone, for example, is easily more visible than Macklemore
And Post Malone vulture-hopped his ass back to country too, didn’t he? Ultimately you’re not wrong about the difficulty to reach; I’m just spitballing the future and I refuse to speak Post Malone into inheriting that seat lmfao.
I’m still positively surprised by the Thrift Shop guy supporting Palestine. Though, Thrift Shop was ahead of its time too, with its promotion of the circular economy.
It is the year 2030 and you’re at your local thrift store — the only place you can legally buy clothes after Gen. Sec. Macklemore’s harsh crackdowns on fast fashion after the Revolution.
After a while of looking, you eye a stylish t-shirt.
As you’re taking it off the hanger to try it on, you notice it has a tag on it:
RECYCLED FROM A SETTLER FLAG DEPOSITED IN FREE PALESTINE
Life is good.
You then see the price tag and ask yourself why an H&M shirt costs more in a thrift shop than it does at H&M. You curse Macklemore as they drag you away
What’s H&M? Was that one of those pre-revolutionary clothes stores?
a clothing line by Hezbollah & Macklemore
Hell yeah
This comment seems to imply you’re describing a post-revolutionary society. Why would it still be capitalist?
Man might have singlehandedly ruined thrift shops
Some rich hipsters got a hold of a short bus and tore out the seats and crap to make a ‘mobile thrift store’ where they find some place in town to set up shop for the day and charge triple for what they went to a normal thrift store and bought. So now you can’t find anything good at a thrift store cause these fucks are re-selling it all
To be fair the Internet ruined thrift shops. It’s a lot harder to find a steal when ppl can just Google what something is and what it’s worth.
Typical of a Zionist to ignore the Palestinian voices that make up the majority of the song
accused “motherfuckers” (Jews) of “murdering little kids”
>mrw
[NSFW: lyrics, the song uses a picture of the artist wearing a bra for whatever reason]Name of song?
