@@ProxyApexI live here too. Everywhere is boring, at times. Ironically, downtown Spokane isn't a place that I'd describe as boring. But I guess it depends on what you like to do, and all that!
Man knows what we need. Living is too expensive (Seattle prices are scary! Just stayed there for two weeks while my baby was in the hospital and you cannot find food under $15 unless it’s McDonald’s).
The dude that did the chorus TOTALLY killed it! I remembered back when I first heard this track and was like "Aright Macklemore is back." The song is great but the hook... The hook is on another planet. Lyrically and performance-wise. Stunning.
The way he can sound like both Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson (occasionally at the same time) is remarkable on its own, but it would all be for nothing if the chorus itself wasn't dynamite!
A rapper who raps about Mopeds, Thrift Shops, Saving money, mental health and drug problems and how cheap his wardrobe is, is pretty cool to me. Hip Hop doesn't embrace this guy enough. He's in his own lane. I respect that. Edit: Wow 3k likes? Thanks y'all... Big ups to Mack.
You are right. He even wrote songs about how he's not black but.... You know questioning whether he is culturally appropriating.... He's just a very deep thoughtful person
@@michelemichele7178 How's is it cultural appropriation? It not traditional black music it's a wester genre founded by a black guy. That's like saying Koreans are culturally appropriating pop etc.
+Edwin van Donk its about something small, yet the joy around it is real i think its also pretty much stands for non mainstream behaviour liking big girls, going trough downtown and buying a moped....its a nice song
Exactly, I was just about to comment that this song brings me immense joy. How can anyone feel unhappy while listening to this song? I don’t think they can.
Just went to Macklemore concert here in Seattle. For downtown, he rode a motorcycle 100 feet up in the air across the entire arena - what a classy guy!

What I love about macklemores music is the diversity it has. Taylor Swift and Ed Sheerans music is mostly on relationships and love which is great if every artist in existance didn't already do it, 99% of music today is about a guy/girl or love but then you got this guy. We're talking about a guy that made thrift shops and americans looks ignorant over homosexuality, if you can make music out of anything, you know you're great, its a song about mopeds lmaoo
Hailey Allen The creativity isn't the style, its the words of the music and how unrelated it is to tbe b.s every artist sings today like fucking a girl, broken hearts, love, missing someone etc. It's also not a rip off of anything, why would using a classic beat of old music be a bad thing? If anything it allows funk to live a little longer in this generations minds rather then be a folk tale parente tell their kids.
***** What a terrible thing to say and Dau has a good point, do you think a movie critic could produce a movie better then the people they critique badly? People can have opinions on something without actually knowing how to do it themselves. I'm sure Dau is relating swift and gomez to other singers he's heard that probably sounded better.
+Max Beast It's sad but making this video probably cost more than her entire family's wealth. Commenter don't be offended by that please just accepted that its probably true.
it most like a voice modifer from a computer program but i dont use voice modifers since i can put my voice in a low high tone, deep voice if i wanted to and a acient as well
@bear bear - Nah - Eric Nally of Foxy Shazam actually sings like this. Do you think you're the only singer with great range? I'm also one - a woman with rich low tones and very high notes, especially when scatting. BTW, what's "a acient"? Foxy Shazam: th-cam.com/video/4rz4I69mQMo/w-d-xo.html
For those of you complaining that this song is "just like Thrift Shop", take a step back and realize that Macklemore regularly makes thematic music that captures the spirit of a given culture. See: Otherside (drug culture), Wings (sneaker culture), Same Love (LGBT movement), Irish Celebration (self-explanatory), My Oh My (baseball). This is simply a another addition to what he does best.
+nick priestly I watched it to give it a chance because Macklemore used to be my favorite artist. "Inhale Deep", "otherside", those were real hip hop, and great songs.. Idk I can't fuck with this new stuff. Kudos to those of you that can, and I'm glad the dudes big now. I sure miss his old style tho.
Reminds me of those little toys with the square bottoms that u press underneath and the little character collapses, cause the strings loosen up. BTW, I believe they are called “push puppets” if you want to look up what I’m referring to.

savage
what a great comment
This made my day.
Thats probably not that difficult
This guest singer sounds so much like Michael Jackson at times. It's nuts!
He was the lead singer of a band called Foxy Shazam. Really good music!
Eric Nalley
it most like a voice modifer from a computer program but i dont use voice modifers since i can put my voice in a low high tone, deep voice if i wanted to and a acient as well
@bear bear - Nah - Eric Nally of Foxy Shazam actually sings like this. Do you think you're the only singer with great range? I'm also one - a woman with rich low tones and very high notes, especially when scatting.
BTW, what's "a acient"?

That's right!
For those of you complaining that this song is "just like Thrift Shop", take a step back and realize that Macklemore regularly makes thematic music that captures the spirit of a given culture. See: Otherside (drug culture), Wings (sneaker culture), Same Love (LGBT movement), Irish Celebration (self-explanatory), My Oh My (baseball). This is simply a another addition to what he does best.
+DizzelOnTop please sit down this shit is lame af
+ashley brownn then why are you watching the damn video
+nick priestly I watched it to give it a chance because Macklemore used to be my favorite artist. "Inhale Deep", "otherside", those were real hip hop, and great songs.. Idk I can't fuck with this new stuff. Kudos to those of you that can, and I'm glad the dudes big now. I sure miss his old style tho.
Thats true. Every song he produces/raps is his best power.

This song is catchy as hell
i really like the song. its different and im up for the change. more and more artist are going old school with a twist. i hope this keeps up.
+TheBrownsWorld so do i :)

+TheBrownsWorld it's also nice to see new hip hop artists featuring the OGs in their videos
+TheBrownsWorld Like the weekend I can't feel my face, sounds like MJ

3:52 are we gonna talk about his skills on this clip or what
I practiced this for a long time. Fucking up knees is worth it
He got knees of steel 🤩🤩😂😂
Reminds me of those little toys with the square bottoms that u press underneath and the little character collapses, cause the strings loosen up.
BTW, I believe they are called “push puppets” if you want to look up what I’m referring to.
I wanna talk about why this wasn’t filmed in Seattle and why they filmed it in Spokane.
4:18 isn’t incredibile how he sounds like Michael Jackson
Omg yes
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THE SAME THING
Exactly

YES but slightly different.
I felt like I just watched a movie in 5 minutes
