I'm not a big fan of rap because most of it is pretty repetitive and I get bored of it easily, but there are exceptions to everything. These guys are always putting out songs that are actually about something. Sure the ridiculous amount of fame came from thrift shop which was a strange song, but it was catchy and everyone loved it. Since then Macklemore had released songs about political and human rights issues, showing that he cares about things other than the fame he got. Also the fact that he started all this without a major record label should day something about the kind of music he creates. This song is a message about how he isn't in this business for the money and that it's something he has worked on for half his life. My favorite line about it is that "a true artist will be satisfied." It's something I believe to be true. The one comment on this video is right, he is on his way to rap immortality. Check it out.
Peace.
