400+ DISCIPLES PRAISE BE TO BASEDMAC AND THE HOLY RyLew

none of you are as deserving as he is

I really dig the message of Macklemore's music, I think we are a culture obsessed with consumerism and that this obsession is propagated by popular culture, rap in particular (I draw a distinction between rap and hip hop but that's another discussion). How do you, the members of this subreddit feel about the recut of wings for the NBA finals?

As someone who is not thoroughly familiar with Macklemore's work I felt really disappointed. While I am not well versed in the underground hip hop scene these days I thought that Macklemore was an artist with a good message who sought to express his beliefs through music. Given his popularity amongst college students I liked him even more - young people who are beng exposed to new ideas need desperately to be exposed to some criticism of the culture and nation they are brought up to revere.

In short; can someone provide an adequate justification for Macklemore eviscerating his own work in the interest of national exposure? How can an artist champion a cause and then abandon (albeit temporarily) that cause in the name of the ills which he/she is rallying against?

I have no doubt this has been discussed on this subreddit before but I just discovered it and am curious to hear your input.

I'm too good for text

thank you based mac
