That's the genius of this song. Many songs nowadays talk about buying expensive clothing or cars but Macklemore bragged about buying the opposite. It makes it instantly more relatable to the people listening and the fact that he brags about bargain buying with such confidence makes it even better imo
I get the majority of my clothes from thrift/charity shops 🤣. I recently got some brand new tags on oversized t-shirts for sleeping in for under $3 each. Heck I get a lot of everything second hand, kitchen & bath items, decor, jewelry etc. I've got one favorite chain because they don't jack up their prices like a lot of the others, and the charity is a group that works with people with developmental disabilities, which is the field I usually work in.
@@Kelly30stm when MapQuest was the predominant go to for internet maps they had a thing where you could make different maps that had specific things on them. I had one that was all the thrift stores in my area, so I could pick an area to do 2 or 3 in one day lol. I tend to get burnt out after Halloween and our local sci-fi/fantasy etc convention if I'm trying to thrift for costumes
Back in school in the early 90s I threw an annual spring party called "thrift shop prom". It got huge. I am an old lady now with a country house but younger friends still throw it every year.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are no joke. Here in Washington State a few miles from where I live, they actually filmed this in a local thrift shop. Take a look, it has over 1.8 billion views alone on TH-cam and he made over $18 on this song. Oh by the way the won 4 grammys awards. They are an awesome duo and have donated a lot to the local charities.
as someone who works in a Thrift shop , this song is so fucking true , people come in ALL THE FUCKING TIME and switch around price tags to get cheap deals 😅 this song is fucking awesome
Ooo please do Same Love! It's a beautiful song! Thrift Shop still bangs I'm not gonna lie lol. It's impossible to not get a smile on your face when it comes on!
This is fkn awesome :) It is also a short segment on one of Weird Al´s Polka Medleys...i think it is "Now That´s What I Call Polka", but I am not sure..
Please react to his songs No Bad Days (he let's his 7 year old direct the video) and Glorious (he spends his Grandma's 100th Birthday doing whatever she wants) ❤😊
I mean, people wanna make clothes and sell at those prices. And people wanna pay that much for the clothes to say something about themselves. No shade, but what I bought for the same price as that Gucci shirt I got a fit and pizza and beer. And made a donation to the local animal shelter. And a car payment. Lol
Can you explain a bit more about the mechanics of the "blocked" mention in the video and the copyright claim? Because obviously, we can see the video so can you explain the "blocked" mention? Thanks!
TH-cam picks up the video and blocks it so nobody can see it, if you make it smaller and add graphics around it like Lee tv then the algorithm doesn't pick it up and therefore it doesn't get blocked, it's annoying but necessary on Some reactions
@@infin8reactions So your entire video isn't blocked. Just means the pip window with the protected content is blocked, right? (The main one). I assume you get no monetization, either, right?
@@infin8reactions so you haven't been around a bar or any social settings or owned heard the radio ..even from a neighbour for the last 10 years ? ...okay sir 😂 future advice might be more believable with a song with a vid that doesn't have 1B+ views lol but have a nice day ✌️🤙 lol
Wel considering I go out to the pub probably 3 times a year or never listen to the radio unless the footballs on, and the genre of music that I listen to 95% of the time was nu metal then no But it's ok, you have clearly lived your life over my shoulder to confirm that I am a liar, don't come on to my channel with your judgements without knowing any facts... Bye👋

@@infin8reactions I get that, it’s the length of both actions I previous stated, look at the successful reaction channels, they have these 3 things in common, pausing is done tastefully, yapping is minimal, and the audio on the listeners end is always good
@@lt.spears1889 1. how can pausing be done tastefully when the reactor has never heard the song before? ( I don't know what's coming or when) 2. I don't yap on as bad as you say I do, (there are reactors that ' yap' on far more than I do) And 3. There's nothing wrong with my audio No life Shaq is the biggest music reactor out there and he pauses and talks more than I do lol And to be fair you gotta take into account that I recorded this particular one on a live stream so I'm talking to an active audience
@@infin8reactions NLS KNOWS when to pause, and when he does it isn’t for 12hrs. I know pausing is needed, it’s when and what’s said and the length. Holy crap, if you think your channel is all that then by all means keep doing your thing, you’ll be wasting your time. BTW the audio is fine, I was thinking of something else.

The meaning of this song is the big ol smile it puts on my face every time I watch it.
Haha awesome!!
The fact that there is no "meaning" makes it the best thing everrr. It makes me smile every time.
Definitely do more Macklemore! Same Love, Glorious, Can’t Hold Us and Downtown are all great places to start!
And now his new hit Chants.

This was huge in the day. If you want more message jams from Macklemore try Same Love or Drug Dealer.

Thank you, I've been waiting for someone to suggest another song by him 😁👌
Your reaction to this song has been so funny!
This was a great find at the live stream. This guy was brilliant.
Excellent choice Kelly
He really is! Glad you liked it.
@@Kelly30stm We want more, we want more 😋😋😋😋😋
@@bazkeen more is coming!
@@Kelly30stm Good good good 😋😋😋

This song is such a vibe! It’s a bad ass song!
What's the UK equivalent to a Garage sale? Is it a Garden sale?
(Where you sell your unwanted items on tables in front of your home.)
Jumble sale or car boot sale 😁
Thrift shops here are like yard sales. Not really a charity thing sometimes you can find a treasure 😊
The best thing about the $50 t-shirt line is going to his concert and buying his shirt for $50! Lol.
Such a fun song, has a great beat
Best comment I've ever heard about this song (I forget the source) was, "Only a white dude would rap about being broke."
Haha truth!! 🤣🤣🤣
Such a fun song and video, liked it back when it came out 😊

This is what happens when Lee doesn't get our jokes in discord. We make him listen to the songs on the live stream.
Kelly comes through again 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is great! I enjoyed your reactions :D
I was not expecting to see this scrolling down my feed 😂 this use to be the jam
7:00 the Fact that There is a Meaning to this Song Lmao
This song is so fun ☺️
Pentatonix made a cover of this song
That one was fun! Was just about to leave that comment but you beat me to it. :)
That's why I thought he did this one lol I hope the PTX cover is coming too.
Well, there is the criticism of the consumerism and getting "swindled and pimped" by a business, I'd count that as meaning.
FYI, that is not a real Delorean.....it is a Pontiac Fiero converted to look like a Delorean.
Listen in America thrift shops are a thing.
Great reaction! If you want to react more Macklemore, why not react Can't Hold Us, and then react the Blind Channel version of it...?!?
I noticed someone already mentioned PTX has a cover. It's their early days, one take videos. Please react to it 😎 Great react as usual.
Smells like r Kelly’s sheets. Pissssssssssss. But shit, it was 99 cents.
Hahah that line nearly killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
React to the Pentatonix version!!
Boy, there's no way u ain't heard this song it was inescapable...u a full liar 😂🤣
