He's a rapper, in cohorts with Ryan Lewis. However, unlike the stereotypical
rap "
music" that is popular today, he actually makes
music. Real
music, for
music is meant to entertain, yes, but it's also meant to make you feel something.
He talks about things that are important, but many don't want to speak of or are uncomfortable about. For example, he has written a song about equal rights for all ("Same Love,") he has written a song about the horrors of addiction ("Otherside," "Neon Cathedral,") he has written songs about never giving up and going for your dreams ("Can't Hold
Us," "Ten Thousand Hours," "Wing$,") and about how the music industry has become a bit rotten nowadays ("Jimmy Iovine.") Yes, he has also written songs that could be considered normal
rap (kinda of...) like "Thrift Shop," "Castle," "White Walls," "Thin Line," and more. But that doesn't matter, because not all of his songs are like that(:
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are one of my favorite
music artists.
They're great(:
Person 1: "Hey, you hear that rapper on the radio yesterday, homebrotha?"
Person 2: "Oh, yeah, that was Macklemore & Ryan
Lewis! Their
rap actually means
something, doesn't it!?!"
Person 1: "Yeah, man, they're da bomb!"
