Macklemore do you think he'll have sustained success?

[Gen. Stasia]

I really don't understand ppls issues with Macklemore tho. He can actually RAP first and foremost. And as far as Vultures the true Vultures are the niggas who blatantly say they don't care about the ART and are just "Hustlers".

The bold is correct but it doesn't make what Macklemore is doing any less vulture.

How is he a Vulture tho because his market is Different? Kid Cudi has his own market and core Audience than Typical Rap fans is he a Vulture?

I think u need to actually watch some of Maclemore interviews and see how he views Hip Hop before calling him a Vulture. And also do some research on his Music. Its not his Fault ppl around the acountry Connect more with Shoping at a Thrift Shop vs Dropping 'Bandz' on Strippers.

It comes back around to the same point. When Cudi makes his out there music, it's promoted as pop. Macklemore makes his pop sounding music and its branded as hip hop.

Lil Wayne made Lollipop and it was Branded as Hip Hop is he and Static Major Vultures?. And What Stops Thrift Shop or Can't Hold Us from being Hip Hop? I didn't know Rap music has one sound.

What a stupid post. Does this thread give any more or less attention to Macklemore than any other threads about other artists?

your intelligence is really lacking...u made a thread about the dude not being good and not being "hip hop"...and how he is ruining hip hop because the "uninformed" will think this is all hip hop is and the more deserving artist wont get their recognition...and there's already been a few people who didnt know or plan to listen to this macklemore character until reading YOUR THREAD who turned around and listen to his whole album (given him more exposure) and ended up not seeing anything you were talking about...

does that make sense now genius! ha ha

So what? This thread won't be the last and it isn't the first that someone checked out an artist because of a thread in the ic. It doesn't make my point any less valid. I am also well aware that everybody won't agree with me. "Genius"

BEP was Hip Hop. Nobody has issues with the other names and Thrift Shop and Can't Hold us isn't anywhere Close to what LMFAO, Pitbull or Flo Rida does.... and that's not the only type of Rap Macklemore does. And nobody considers them Vultures they let them Eat.

But Hey they don't sell like the White boy so its cool.

 

[hahanope]

Tbh I think he's just a flavor-of-the-month type of rapper. He blew up way too fast. The quicker your success, the shorter your career. Dude is pretty good lyrically but he's no J.Cole

[hahanope]

It would be better if he stopped with the social commentary and became a 'Lonely Island' type artist. Mack is a funny dude.

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Let him eat as far as Im concerned. Imagine if we went out and supported "our" artists as much as "they" do . We are backaward ass consumers.

There are always exceptions. There are more examples of rappers making pop sounding music and it being branded as such. Nicki Minaj made Starships and that was pop. But most of her music is hip hop. What stops Thrift Shop is that it doesn't sound like hip hop.

But Macklemore makes Hip Hop tho

... Thrift Shop isn't typical Pop either it has a sound of its own. But what Stops Can't Hold Us from being Rap?

And Who TF is the dictators of these sounds?

Not to go offtopic but that n*gga Snow was official. I don't know if you were clowning or not but folks respected him back then. He worked with most relevant dancehall artists out back then. Jim Carey and them clowned him on Living Colour but he got respect from the people that mattered. Can't believe it's 20 years.

 

[A1000MILES]

Yeah, I know...He still is a community activist and gets respect in his city...

Can't Hold Us sounds like hip hop as corny as it is. But nobody can tell me Thrift Shop is hip hop. It don't sound like it.

What? Snow was a joke in the dancehall scene. Y'all need to stop it.

 

[A1000MILES]

We not een talmbout his music...Snow,the person, is certified...
