The fact that he gets more attention than African American rappers with awful music like this is the most powerful example of white privelege you could ask for, so no, I don’t think he would be “5 times hotter”

Didn’t Macklemore only get stage time in Seattle because he was fucking the head of Obese Productions? Dude used to claim he was “hyphy” doin tracks with E40. Used to dress like a Kid Robot langerie model. Look at Benny now still fake as fuck with a “I’m important too” bunch of fake ass followers. -Hater
I don’t know, man. I love his politics, but his music is TERRIBLE and devoid of any kind of nuance or depth that he seems to be reaching so hard for . And, while yes, white privilege is a huge motherfucking problem, this is a little white saviory, and I’m really tired of hearing white 20 somethings go on and on. I…
White people are so obsessed with ourselves when it comes to racism. You know what is really important about racism? How I think and feel about it. Take the money spent to make and promote this song and send some people to college or fund some struggling artists.
Fuck this. This is all shit. Everyone in this “process” is so proper and careful. Great. Everyone said all the right things and explored the right areas and the whites were so gentle and the people of color were all there to guide and everyone is pleased, albeit carefully so. Jesus fucking Christ people. Fuck you all.…
I got to :52 sconds before I turned it off. Exactly who any of these people are, since I’ve never heard of them is not as important as the fact that people who may have heard of them are not people I know. Okay, to put it another way, hyping the ‘celebrity collaboration’ on this song from two equally unknown musicians…
Sorry to butt in on the circle jerk here with everyone patting each other’s backs for being so enlightened. Macklemore’s music flat out sucks. If this dude wants to write something that makes a difference, let him stick to poetry or spoken word or blogging or writing children’s stories. Intellectually, his shit’s on…
This is just more precious noise from asshole social justice hipster types. Fuck all of these people. The world is burning while progressives like this are busy masturbating with their moral righteousness and privilege guilt.
Ok. So, I love the intention of this. But I’m really tired of white people who have preciously been fitted from white privilege nailing themselves to a cross and then continuing to talk about it. I’m kind of tired of hearing white people talk period.
Please tell me this entire article is satire. Really, please.
Oh Sweet Jesus goddamn fucking Christ. This horseshit is going to be viewed as a ‘conversation starter’? Yay for Macklemore. I’m glad he’s found a lane to get very very rich from.
White man gets input on things, writes song, bores everyone.
I’m not surprised there are people who will only listen to Macklemore and no other rappers. They remind me of people who point out sexism in rap but not in other music.
White privilege like having more grammy’s than Biggie and Tupac?
Lemme get this straight—A white rapper hires a person of color in order to avoid accusations of misappropriating black culture in a negative manner so that other people of color will be good w/ his rap ?? R U F K M ??
disgusting bunch of misguided idiots.
This is a lot better than John Coltrane, Love, Sly and The Family Stone, Miles Davis, and all the other activist music of the past. Totally is. It is totally coherent too.
“Hey kids, are you *down* with PC? Because it’s the hip new way to roll!”
“at least Cosby knocked his victims out b4 he raped them.”
The GOP’s pennywise dollar-foolish, ignore all environmental standards for poor neighborhood shell game tricks can ALWAYS get worse.
