The answer is...Really, just way too many words... <br /><br />The answer is simple: black ppl are prejudice. Black ppl are the most prejudiced haters on the planet. & that is, very simply, at the crux of the issue for why black ppl hate Macklemore..<br /><br />Which is why it's a joke that they are the loudest about equality.<br /><br />Black ppl aren't for equality. Black ppl are for black ppl like German Nazi were for Germans. Which is fine to be for your own clique, but it def ain't equality.<br /><br />The fact that he's white only makes him easier to hate.... But it's inconsequential... The black community HATES gay ppl. Period. Point blank. Exceptions to the rule ain't the rule. When he put the black community in their place with their own medium, they had nothing else to do but hate - or admit hypocrisy. His music isn't any more corny than what these sellout niggas are makin these days, ever since the 90's.<br /><br />They have to hate.

He's just himself. Most brothas put up a huge front. They rap about fake ass bullshit. They grab the mic, talk shit and lie about themselves. <br /><br />Rap and hip-hop culture is about ego a lot of the time. Macklemore, which I don't really like, is humble and full of joy. Brothas often are just worried about being a bad-ass when it comes to music.<br /><br />I also think it's jealousy. He can flow way better than so many other rappers I've heard.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319114435976290746.post-23344690532897387592015-01-06T09:06:42.588-05:002015-01-06T09:06:42.588-05:00lol, im just glad hes described as a rapper and th...lol, im just glad hes described as a rapper and the term hip-hop wasnt used. ahhh let em have them have their glory with their POP acts.

Thanks for the cheesy life lesson. Also I'm pretty sure he can't answer a question without the word "hella," which seems like a forced, annoying attempt to make everything more casual. As others have pointed out, too, he's far from the first to discuss social issues, etc. with hip-hop. Seems to me that's an integral part of the genre to begin with, so it shouldn't be big news.<br /><br />I see it as the same situation with blues/jazz, etc. in the past, where the original masters of those genres were black and got no recognition until white people started picking it up. Then again, I think there are legitimate crossovers and I would hope that at some point, the racial origin of musicians won't matter. But they already don't, I guess the origins in a culture are the real thing at stake -- I mean, seems like Eminem is more legitimately rooted in hip-hop, whereas Macklemore has come at it from the side and suddenly gets taken as this sort of "well-spoken, socially conscious hip-hop" position, as if it didn't exist before. Basically discredits black artists who have been doing the same thing unnoticed by the wider white mainstream for a long time.<br /><br />I ended up on the NPR "Tiny Desk" concerts too, where Macklemore was featured, and it struck me that they haven't (and don't seem to have any intention to) featured black hip-hop/rap artists on NPR, so the only reason they're featuring him is because they're "appreciating" hip-hop, and he seems like a safe, non-threatening/non-challenging version of it. I seriously dug through that series of NPR videos, and the only black people they've ever had are "world music" acts from Africa (so cultural, right? Not to knock them, they were fine, but seriously, the lack of black AMERICAN artists is stupid. NPR is trying so hard to be "culturally diverse," but actually they just ignore any aspects of American culture that don't fit their opinion of what "culture" is. They can do what they want, but I think they're actually close-minded.) Anyway, I found that annoying, especially when I don't find Macklemore to be all that interesting. With my limited knowledge of Hip Hop, I have to say that if NPR really wanted to be supportive of the emergence of creative hip hop & rap, they missed the boat 25-30 years ago when it started, since it's always been creative and about social issues, but white people weren't really paying attention, I think. They just heard it as black noise. I say this as a white person who wasn't really paying attention, in retrospect.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad I'm not alone in finding him irritating.

Black ...I think this article is hilarious AND true. Black people don't like Macklemore because he is white... And numbers 1,2,3 and 5 are solely based on race. If you're white in the black man's world then you're facing an uphill battle everyday. I'd argue that this article is a bit of a testament to reverse racism, but I'll steer away from that topic. <br /><br />I think some commenters have veered away from the point of the article. I respect Macklemore and I respect his voice. I agree with his opinions and think it is awesome that he is standing up to the hate that still exists in our world. I like his music because of his words, I bought the album to support, and I don't think he's THAT bad of a rapper... but then again I'm not into hardcore rap, so to me this style of "rap" is just fine. <br /><br />As much as I support and like what Macklemore stands for, he IS corny. So are a lot of other rappers and artists. Macklemore just catches more flack for it because he is white. End of story.

His supporters are those who look like him and like that style of music, and for the most part they aren't black. <br /><br />Why are you up in arms about black people not loving Macklemore? Ya'll think he's the second comming of Eminem? He's not. I liked Bubba Sparxxx music better because he was a country white boy who liked to rap. and he did it without trying to score pre-points by pointing out its hard to be a white rapper.<br /><br />Black, white, purple or polka dot to be considered a good rapper you need to be good at rap. This dude isn't. Race only has to do with it in that he is running a race in which he's starting behind all the black rappers BECAUSE he's white. Yea that sucks, but the thing about an unfair race is that you can't win unless you run. I think he's trying to set the bar level by talking about his "white privilege" Just a few points from me.<br /><br />I just think he's not a good rapper and alot of black people agree. There is no argument there. Are the reasons fair?

(how base level can you get?) clearly I'm not trying to have an intelellectual discussion about Macklemore or I would have written the entire article differently. Its meant to be funny and ridiculous because there is no logic associate with how Black People (and the general public) decide to hate people. You might need to lighten up a bit?

I don't care about your level of tolerance<br /><br />Person 1: you're so ignorant. enjoy it<br /><br />Person 2:He respects his white priv? Lol He attempts to exploit for his fame. Doing his thing?

What are you some kind of hipster? Hip Hop is for black people only? jump off it. Seriously. I'm over this conversation. I have nothing more to say to you and I won't listen to your ignorance. Educate yourself and welcome to the real world.<br /><br />Person 2: You're insinuating im racist? And what do you know about the real world? You're a funny funny girl. He's not a good rapper<br />And he's far far far from Eminem and his talents. Please don't attempt to school me on hip hop and race.

Truth is, I never liked him until fairly recently. In fact, the first song I ever heard by these fellows was And We Danced....and if you want corny, hoooooly shit...<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhf5cuXiLTA<br /><br />What you're missing is that there's two sides to dude. He has silly and serious. Thrift Shop IS NOT a serious song, and obviously neither is And We Danced. They're both subtly making fun of the people that eat it up.<br /><br />Regardless, I listened to one of his older, more serious efforts, and dude has some strong opinions. White, black, or blue, who are we to discredit them? I think we can hear them in the same way we hear someone on the street that talks to us about anything we don't care about and either listen and become part of the conversation or just move on.<br /><br />I don't read much into possible topical exploitation but I truly believe the shit he's saying is merely his opinion on issues he feels strongly enough to discuss and that's it. We can do what we want with it, but it's just an opinion. And it's pretty damn harmless, too. He's not attacking, he's commenting. And he just apparently is a poet that realized that a successful medium for having his voice heard is through music.<br /><br />Damn right I support it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319114435976290746.post-52284492258566677532013-08-29T12:26:16.803-04:002013-08-29T12:26:16.803-04:00I would say listen to Macklemore's whole album...I would say listen to Macklemore's whole album before you make the generalizations.
