He tried to apologize his way back lmao, do you remember that White Privilege song? Ridiculous s***, then he even put Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee and Grandmaster Caz on his lead single. As if ppl would think he's a "real rapper" for associating with them.
I'm of two minds about this s***. It's definitely corny, but also white rappers should be paying it back. Doing it for old heads like that is pretty nice.
Stop it man....gkmc was a rehash. Was like a perversion of the lane that people like common and mos def created, complete with a dr dre /jimmy iovine push. Nothin kendrick lamar has done has been challenging and his rise has been super fabricated. Sorry kdot stans, k dot is average and always has been. Im sorry.
man said all this to die on the hill for yeezus of all things
First off f*** Macklemore, second off lot of people talkin out of their ass with regards to his career. I highly doubt the kendrick s*** made a difference. Macklemores text was a precursor to so much of the white guilt bullshit that’s all around rn. ALSO someone said he tried to pander and go woke, he was definitely on some quasi woke s*** his whole career. Not that i f*** with him. And really, i never f***ed with him and not cause he was white, because his music is generic derivative bullshit. On the topic of him having a song with kaz and kool moe dee being for the culture, i’d say yeah it really is and people are so confused about, well, he’s white so nothing he does with “black culture” can be good 🤢🤮 that attitude f***ing sucks. Go get some money or laid and realize that whole mentality is f***ing played out...macklemore is whack because hes whack, not because hes white. Gkmc was hyped as f*** anyways. Yeezus was the real album that got robbed.
Man seems like a genuinely good guy with good intentions but horrible execution. A lot of what he did was really off.
I remember seeing that time kids interviewed him like a year ago and he seemed depressed and just lost all passion for making music
Now let's talk about how Ye admitted that he copied Mase flows.. that makes him Mase's b**** according to @Beautifulthoughts

A big part of that attachment is the fact he’s one of very few people able to engage you with conscious hip-hop, a term progressively seen more derisively, for being didactic and unsubtle. Lamar knows as well as anyone the box that association puts you in, and shrugs off the specific tag. “Yeah, I liked Mos Def coming up. I liked Snoop, too,” he says.
Ur trying to confuse my argument. My argument is that it’s absurd and racist to conflate how whack and garbage macklemore is with the fact that he’s white, and that he won a grammy over gkmc. Gkmc is an average corporate product album delivered by a manufactured generic and derivative watered down version of guys like mos def and many more, and yeezus was a better album even in the scenario that kendrick is all he is hyped to be.

Chill out stanley and maybe stop acting like you know everything and maybe you’ll be able to understand culture instead of having token obsessions towards it that you’ll grow out of when life happens...gkmc mid, im done arguing

Yeah makes sense, does the most to discredit Kendrick and spreads lies about his artistry. Gotta be an undercover Macklemore shill.

I can almost guarantee, you're the only one on this entire site who thinks that. Epitome of delusional.
Imagine how much he's gonna lose his s*** if someone mentions death grips was around before yeezus
I can almost guarantee, you're the only one on this entire site who thinks that. Epitome of delusional.
Im the only person on this site who thinks gkmc is mid lol? Maybe cause they don’t want to get swarmed by drones like yourself and the others trying to gang up on me cause i revealed to them that their prized gem of artistry is really very clever corporate factory style pop music...im sorry. Gkmc mid. Just pm me breh

"maybe stop acting like you know everything"
dawg do you even hear yourself?
Maybe it's possible to like both albums
Plus what does your subjective opinion on GKMC (amazing album btw, you wrong for that) have to do with why Macklemore fell off.
Imagine calling this masterpiece "generic" and "manufactured" literally the opposite of what it is
