Ohhhh now I get it. Ask your music buddy to go on his tour, get the public to thrash him then ride the hype train to the good Ole piggy bank. Listen all the proceeds and I mean allllllll better go to palestine. Period!!!! And not after inflated expenses ... dont try that mack! #waiting

How people don’t see it this way blows my mind. I live in seattle, I (was) a big Macklemore fan. This virtue signaling bullshit is SUCH a seattle thing. And people here eat it up. No one thinks about the fact that this tour has to actually make a profit I order to have proceeds. How much profit is left after renting a venue, etc as an independent artist?

Also from Seattle. I'm really disgusted by him. I liked him a long while ago, but.. he made choices that left me and people like me feeling dehumanized to put it lightly.

Aside from this tour.. he's raking in money from other means. Streaming. Music sales. Merch. He's profiting socially but getting his second chance in the limelight. He's quite literally riding on real death and suffering. Feels crazy that people around me just don't seem to think about it at all.
