RIP Macklemore

BUT the ensuing debates over censorship and what's in good taste will be worth it imo

Activity on this board has been slow lately, in part likely to so many people preferring the chat room than the message board. Now more than ever all comments warrant a thread.

This sounds like a call to arms.

lirl I just saw the subtitle, which BZ no doubt used to justify the main title.

Does he do the Humpty dance?

 

[Incandenza]

I'd be fine with it if he claimed he was having fun with stereotypes, but no, he's going with the "it's just a costume" non-apology. Even if it honestly didn't occur to him that looking hebey while performing a song about being cheap might offend some people, a simple "sorry about that!" would suffice. But no, this idiot isn't even giving out that. It's additionally irritating because this marginal-talent turd got a Grammy largely for a song about tolerance and understanding. Fuck him.

 

[Alfie]

Never felt more out of touch than just now, realising I have absolutely no idea who Macklemore is.

I was already on the fuck him train because he's the lamest motherfucker around but this doesn't even make sense with his image and everything else about him. He's the wack guy who marketed himself to a demographic who sort of liked rap but couldn't get too much into it because it's too rough, abrasive, dumb, offensive, and black.

I'd expect this out of p. much anyone else but this milquetoast douche who raps about white guilt and has an anthem for gay marriage.

Yo! He thought he was gay 'cuz he like drawin' pictures! Maybe he thought he was Jewish and his mom never explained to him that he wasn't!

This warrants a thread for sure. And yeah that's super offensive. I don't know what he was thinking.

edit: until this month the board had been more busy than 2013 and that was despite big chats too.

What's funny is that there's a bit of post/sig/av combo, as he pretty much looks like Seth Rollins.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

My stupid neo-con "nah, man, I just believe in the Constitution" friend posted this yesterday about this:

if phil robertson is "racist" for saying he didn't mind growing up during jim crow, than what do we do about this?

After reading this, I wish I was you

Er...

 

[Alfie]

Oh, I processed 'Seth Rollins' as 'Seth Rogen'. Carry on.

 

[Ed Wood Caulfield]

Oddly enough, Seth Rogen was offended by Macklemore.

I only know him for the Thrift Store song. He has other popular songs?

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

The gay song

And the one with Florida

The best Macklemore song:

And it's because of the hook by some broad and the second verse that's by Schoolboy Q.

The best macklwmore song is like the best red lobster dish
