Do you like Hip Hop music? Who are your favorite rappers? Does Macklemore make your top 10 rappers today?
Without question, the 33 year old rapper has raving fans across the globe. From Washington D.C. to Rio de Janeiro, the celebrity is highly regarded. With 2.8 million Twitter followers, it’s easy to see why people are mentioning his account right now.
I first learned about Macklemore after hearing Thrift Shop play on the radio 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve seen the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis music video many times. Sometimes I think “I’m gonna pop some tags,” especially when I only have 20 dollars in my pocket.
You see Macklemore has a message to deliver. It isn’t a fast or slow message. But the message he has for you is right on time.
He raps about what he knows. Moreover, the celebrity aka Professor educates listeners on a variety of topics. Some of his songs are entertaining and others are informative.
He doesn’t rap about living a hard knock life because he grew up living comfortably. You’ll find you don’t necessarily need wealth in order to be comfortable. But having a net worth of $18 million like Macklemore isn’t uncomfortable at all!
Right now, the rapper has emerged on the scene with more than just money in his pocket. He has lyrics in them that can spark a fuse. Songs such as: Kevin open people’s eyes to serious issues facing America and the world. He’s Not Afraid like Eminem to tell not only his story White Privilege, but also the stories of millions without a platform.
Macklemore represents Seattle better than some Senators. Respect Ryan Lewis too, because he contributes to creating that high quality content you receive. He reminds me a lot of Calvin Harris when it comes to collaborations.
