A lot of people are mad at Macklemore because of the news coverage of this song, but that's not really his fault. He wasn't expecting to reach such a huge audience with the song when he wrote it, nor is it what got him popular, so stop acting like he was just trying to get a pat on the back. I can understand not…

Thank you, sir or madam, for making my day that much brighter and darker simultaneously.

I've been contemplating internet suicide ever since this is in my top 10 movies of the year.

Woah man, don't diss "Go On." That was my favorite new show last year.

You've obviously not listened to the rest of the album. The Heist is fantastic, and no, he doesn't rely purely on other people for it. Just because he doesn't sing (which is what gets stuck in people's heads) doesn't mean he's bad by definition. I have friends into rap (I personally am not), and you have to judge…

I disagree. When I watch a mashup of different thing, I'm not looking for a narrative (even less so then when I'm listening to music), and this one has it's narrative so loose that they're meaningless. I'd never have picked up on it if I hadn't been looking directly for it. I'm looking for the thing that sounds the…
