Macklemore - The Club

I saw him live yesterday at SoundSet… amazing performer. -AKN

Unlike 50 Cent’s dance classic In Da Club, this song is is solely about the club.  His accurate, humorous, and in-depth description of the weekend night life illustrates a sad but true tgif perception that all weekenders can relate to. This is definitely far from the best song of his mixtape The Unplanned Mixtape (the best song being Church [ft. Geologic]), but it’s still one of the better song off of this exceptional Seattle release.  It has an extremely unique sound, and the more you listen to it the more you appreciate it.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Otherside

hiphopfightsback:

I get at least one message a week where someone asks “So have you ever heard of Macklemore?”

Yes, I’ve known about him for years.  Hope that settles that for good.  He’s a king of Seattle hip-hop, which is saying a lot since Seattle has an AMAZING underground hip-hop scene.  If you’ve never heard of him until now…well your welcome. 

He has a very straightforward style and a blunt flow.  His lyrics are also consistently great.  Meaningful stuff that makes you think.  He’s gone through a lot in life…you can see that in his music.

Macklemore - Wings

My friend from work recommended me to check out Macklemore’s music and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But wow, I’m extremely impressed with his storybook type rapping. His lyrics ooze with emotion and metaphors and his delivery is effective. The video is definitely worth watching, check it out! -AKN
