basura caliente.

[Jayou Ayen]

I don't understand the music at all. But if I were a famous musician, I'd pay tribute to my idols and have Jose Canseco in one of my videos.

Obv the song is trash but I'm glad it happened because the kinds of young(ish) rappers that usually ask vets like these for features can only pay in dap, drink tickets from SOBs and vague references to preserving da kulcha. This is a tangible check for them.

[Mindbender Futurama]

sigh.

it's like a farce of a spoof of an honorable tribute to a revisionist cliche.

rap is outta control.

mac couldn't have dropped more than a g apiece....

[Kid That's Lifeless]

Yeah, but what else are these guys doing?

Macklemore is godawful, but he can't win with losers like Mindbender who scream white privilege over the fucking Grammy's and also get offended when he puts OG's in videos because then it's pandering cultural appropriation. It's a no win situation for the guy.

You really have to go out of your way to be offended by this.

[Philaflava]

Clearly guys like Caz, Dee and Mel look at this as a check, but I wonder that aside, what Caz thinks of Mackelmore.

i listened to this while driving so i didnt watch the video to see if the other rappers were in the video.

they were barely in the song. were they all on the hook on some jurassic 5 shit? i thought i only heard melle mel.

[thekeentwo]

if it wasnt a video about fucking mopeds it wouldnt be too terrible. for fucks sake
goin to his label like
yo
i need an advance to get melle mel in a video about mopeds
im challenging him to a bike-off

[Mark 563]

I can't get my head around what I just watched, and why that girl singing had a moustache.

[Employee]

Banger.

[Mindbender Futurama]

the hook is just so gawd-awful. some showtunes via ironic hipster waffling between serious joke and ridiculous fuckory

Macklemore is the name of a strain of white privileged self-absorbed, stomach-melting ebola-like madness and this disease is back to infect America

the sprinklings of 'Thrift Shop' are still evident, and what it lurched into is fucking violently offensive to all that is sacred and holy about music

crap is outta control.

[B. Ware tha Siniq]

Banger.

also... is this just one song? Feels like three.

Airplay $$$

[Jedisdope]

legit one of the weirdest things i've ever seen.

looking forward to revisiting this in 10 years and being like, holy shit, what a world we live in.

[Rachel Hobozal]

Agreed. Truly an epic piece of music. Powerful.

The video is kind of insane. Like, it's very watchable. I can't tell if I feel that way out of enjoyment or horror though. It's similar to that ronson/bruno mars video but mixed with west side story and a Queen song.
The song is just all over the place. I do like the line "There's layers to this shit player, tera misu" though.

Banger.

[nobs]

This song is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

[ackbar]

the new miley cyrus album is better

BDK trying to get that check.

[Piff Tannen]

least he's tryna throw back and show respect to the OGs, he's got no obligation to do that and its more than most other rappers today would do. you cant please everyone, so fuck it.

get your scrillas

[WiCkEd22]

I FUCKIN HATE WACKLEMORE!! DUDES A FUCKIN CLOWN!! AND I CAN'T STAND THAT PEOPLE REFER TO HIM AS HIPHOP. NO, HE'S POP.

Clearly guys like Caz, Dee and Mel look at this as a check, but I wonder that aside, what Caz thinks of Mackelmore.

Sad, but true. Sucks that they have to do somethin like this to get paid, but they never did get paid so what the fuck they gonna do? I'd have to assume their a little bit embarased having to do this shit, but who knows, when you get to a certain age you just don't give a fuck anymore. And I'd have to think Caz thinks Wacklemore is a clown?

Kane mos definitely makes some great points. *shrugs*

I don't know fam bro.

[Mindbender Futurama]

Kane is right: show respect to the OG's while they are still alive

but also: if Macklemore wanted to REALLY show respect, he would have had them spit some verses.

having them on the hook is paying token service homage. I can barely make out who is who, and they are gone off the song before I figure it out

rap is outta control
