My friend who worked there made about $20/hr, which is pretty damn high. The customer service jobs I've worked have paid between $7.50 and $12.

Those lyrics are terrible and he doesn't even rap on that song. If you're into introspective white boy rap at least listen to sage francis or sole or someone.

Yeah, I mean jazz-driven production has been around for forever, but that sax line on thrift shop is what, two notes away from being an exact reproduction? Guy plays pretty loose with the cultural appropriation to be making moves like that. Totally bit the cadence for the first line too.

I mean, whatever. If smoking crack was so bad, they'd make it illegal.

The most famous example would be "Wut" by queer black artist Le1f:

I know this is just a concept designed to spark discussion, but man those particular species seems like a terrible idea.

Oh my bad, I wasn't paying that much attention. That he originally went by Mocklimore is pretty well known tho.

Mocklimore. Macklemore is his friendly, less overtly rapper-mocking version of Mocklimore, his original name.

His tumblr is still mocklimore.tumblr.com.

Yeah, she was up there with him and he didn't let her say a single word. Pretty disgusting.

Yeah, but they didn't pretend to be allies while making millions on songs straight up stolen from black and gay artists, so I have less of a problem with them? I wouldn't mind him if he wasn't such a dick. When he won an award for "Same Love" he didn't let the gay woman who co-wrote and performed on the track say a…

Right? Like winning an award for a song about gay marriage you co-wrote and performed with a gay woman, and then not letting her say a single word at the awards ceremony? Like stealing beats from Le1f, an actual gay rapper?

Dear Macklemore defenders:

I haven't used 6sec. 6tag I used for a while, but I've kinda given it up. Not any one thing, just a combination of little niggles. Compared to instagram, it takes longer to start up, which is especially annoying because almost everything else is faster on WP, it gives me an error if I try to share to facebook,…

Yeah, I guess since I've complained about every job I've ever had I'm not one to talk. Still, seemed kinda small spirited, for such a self-aggrandizing piece. Especially since he has the job every other tech support / customer service rep in the country wants. I mean, it pays double or more what you would get in best…

I don't know man. I have a windows phone, and the knock off applications feel.... knock off. Like going from photoshop to the gimp, except also full of ads.

Wow, this was whiny. I mean, I've worked customer service. I've been yelled at, gotten death threats, and been told repeatedly to go back to India (I am not from India).

Oh the pubes that you'll see! There is hair to be styled! Some as bare as baby, some trimmed, some left wild! With patterns and colors and skin tones and scars, these are the tiniest bushes of all!

Jesus. I was maybe in a couple towel-whipping fights but this was absolutely not my adolescent experience.

Yeah, definitely, read as "maniacal, on the verge of mental break down" in context.
