Macklemore do you think he'll have sustained success?

[PILL_COSBY]

macklemore is a sub par corny rapper that has some good moments from time to time. His sound is more popish than hip hop. I call him hip pop. Them singles he release shouldn't be getting all this recognition at all.

...And I LISTEN to some shit before I judge it...Rather than spouting off a buncha ignorance about a rapper whose catalog I haven't een heard...

I kinda feel where you coming from but you lost me comparing macklemore to tech n9ne SMH. Then you said tech started off touring with I.C.P. Which is wrong as hell!!! I can tell you don't know much about him and just googled some shit real quick lol. Also tech always does hip hop and sometimes mixes it with rock. Show me some tech n9ne pop sounding records? Drop one song that sound like "can't hold us" from nina. You straight disrespected bruh, lol tech been out since the early 90's and blew in mid 2,000

Now if you would have compared him to mac miller(who is actually hip hop and really nice) that would have made more sense.

macklemore aint fucking with shit like this, SLAP YO GOD DAMN SELF NIGGA!!!

Not "started off" in the sense that he was part of the group, or wasn't shit prior to the group...Started off in the sense that a large portion of his loyal, paying fanbase came from performing at the Gathering of the Jugaloos year after year after year...That's not debatable...And I never said he didn't make hip hop, I've heard all the songs you posted, one of my best friends in college was from KC, and he walked me through damn near the nigga's whole discography...Jamaica said that Macklemore isn't hip hop because his sound is "alternative"...If Tech 9 makes alternative(and yes pop sounding) records just as frequently, how is one hip hop, yet the other isn't...And for clarification, Tech's records don't have to sound like "Can't Hold Us" to be classified as "pop"...Same way "Can't Hold Us" sounds nothing like Jay Z's "New York"...But guess what?...They're pop(ular) records with mainstream appeal.

You full of shit bruh, just stop lol. I told you to post one pop song tech has made or anything that sounds pop. Show me this corny pop sounding music tech drops frequently.

LOL don't try to backtrack bruh, you can't fool me with that shit. Tech already started getting a buzz before he started fucking with I.C.P. That shit did help just like how being on lil wayne album did ya feel me? Stop acting like you fuck with tech like that when you really don't. Peole who really know about nina would have never posted the bull shit you posted lol.

Like I said, somebody like wiz or mac miller would be a better example. That fool aint nothing like no tech n9ne bruh.

I'm not saying Macklemore is like Tech 9...For the last time...I'm not saying ICP made Tech 9 for the last time...I'm saying they both make "alternative" sounding, cathcy, melodic, genre bending music...AND THEY ARE BOTH HIP HOP...For the last time.

For the last time, they aren't nowhere near the same in any aspect. Tech makes that dark hip hop/pure hip hop and sometimesmixes it with rock/punk rock. Mack makes hip pop records plane and simple.

Take the L and keep it moving bruh.

SMH at these cats on here who constantly let shit bull shit bubble. Then when it gets out of hand they be like "what happened to such and such" and then repeat the same shit real niggas been saying from the jump.

Shot out to the few real niggas left on this site who can spot some bull shit as soon as they see it. Who aint on that soft passive aggressive type shit. Who stay on they alpha male shit.

I'm out this thread.

There's no L to take there...You clearly don't know what I'm talkin about...Shut the fuck up...Peace...See you in LCA...Lol.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

I hope y'all don't complain when your favorite upcoming rapper can't get on because the radio is infiltrated with a bunch of Macklemore sounding motherfuckers. If y'all don't see the writing in the wall and what Macklemore blowing up means then y'all gonna be in for a rude awakening.

wait you can't access your favorite rappers on datpiff, youtube and i tunes? The radio is already infiltrated with all types of rappers that are just as lame or lamer than macklemore. I just used logic and find ways to listen to my favorite artists.

 

[ghost!]

u gotta be trolling bruh u better than this, theres room for plenty of different sounds on the radio if they choose to play it, niggas cant get mad cuz they favorite rapper can rap they ass of but dont have enough talent as an artist to make a song to get on the radio and be themselves in it at the same damn time, macklemore aint the beginning of shit, nelly came with a popish sounding style of rap and nothing changed, aint stop lil jon from gettin on the radio with his crunk shit, luda from gettin on the radio wit his rap shit, tip from gettin on it with his trap shit, d4l with they snap shit, and so on..

Preach my brother..

Beastie Boys put hip hop on the map? For who lol?

This is all I need to read..word to the wise, before you debate, argue w anyone. Learn to quote them the right way, it helps.

Go back n reread my post..never said beastie boys put hip hop on the map, I SAID THEY HELPED PUT HIP HOP ON THE MAP n also help def jam become established...

I will leave all ur other pro blk hip hop shit to someone else, been there done that when Gee, n his follow trollers were around. As u n this thread were...

 

[OGClarenceBoddicker]

"if i was gay, i would think hip hop hates me"??????????????????????

the fuck nigga???????????

 

[buttuh_b]

I want him decapitated.

 

[ghost!]

Beastie Boys were co signed by Run DMC and had Def Jam backing so the urban demographic gave them that respect... 

Wait wait..I didn't even see this shit right here, name me some well respected hip hop artist NOT co signing macklemore????

Infact I recall an artist such as asap rocky cosigining him last night.

U need to log off for a while.

...Who is "they" bro?...White america?...Jews?...The illuminati?...Why does there have to be some typa conspiracy angle to why rappers who make light hearted and/or catchy music find it easy to gain mainstream success?...Why does it have to be about race or secret agendas?...WHY CAN'T IT JUST BE THAT MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE THE DAMN SONGS EVEN IF YOU DON'T?

Yes, the white corporate structure has been controlling hip hop for a minute. Yes, gays run everything and basically have been WAITING for one of these faggot azz new rappers to come out the closet just so they can annoint him the greatest rapper ever.

People like you wanna downplay shit like this ain't been going on for DECADES. The white corporate structure have been pulling the strings in hip hop since the NWA days. Where you been???

1. Macklemore isn't gay...

2. Macklemore is where he is right now for 3 reasons...Good music, consistent promo work, and a lotta money...

3. That's all...If you wanna believe that Macklemore is sent here to be forcefed upon the masses and begin the final whitewash/gaywash of the rap scene...Fine nigga...Enjoy your corner.

neva went out my way to listen to dude heard him by accident nd wasnt impressed, hopefully he fades away soon

U exposing yourself Rick Rubin Run DMC were touting and co-signing Beasties Before they ever dropped a record on MTV, saying if you love Run DMC you will love Beastie Boys and that MTV will soon be Beastie Tv before they ever dropped anything.

Name a respected rapper that co signed Mackelmore on that kind of stage before he ever dropped a record. Dont't worry I'll wait (Kat Williams Voice)

U need to log off and wash your cape.

Im not mad at the homo song for being a homo song. Im mad cause it was lyrically one of the worst songs ive ever heard.

Dude has no skills on the mic.

The homo song is exactly why I think he'll end up being around. Hollywood and the entertainment industry eat up anything pro-Gay. They'll make sure he's around, whether he's good or not, and whether you want it or not.

There's a reason all these straight actors are doing gay scenes. And a reason all these actors and actresses and musicians are coming out saying they're either gay/lesbian or bisexual, or hinting at that fact even if they are not.

Pro-Gay right now ensures these forgotten stars get a second wind, b/c the homosexuals will do what they can to push one of their own.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

this cracker is a God Damn homo. Any nigga comparing civil rights to homo rights deserves to die a slow death. I'm sure 99% of his fans are also homo who relate to that homo song

 

[sully]

If he is one of those dumbasses that believes gay rights and civil rights are one in the same then he can go off himself.

And to the people that like him and what he stands for, fine. I just think he's a cornball that has a terrible delivery and is not doing anything "new" or different from many of hip-hop's pioneers and legends...

Except pandering to gays. Which is a cop-out, Imo. Especially in today's climate. That shit is a surefire way to garner a mass following.

Hip-hop ain't meant to be on that homo shit.

Afrika Bambaataa's been rumoured to be gay for a long time now.

 

[Gee_has_hot_picture]

lol @ niggas saying there was no deep lyrics in that "same love song", niggas stop getting so jealous, i couldnt get through song, but it wasnt wack from artistic stand point.

I think you should mention the word 'homo' more in your post. You didn't seem to get your point off very clearly.
