Now that the chickens have come home to roost, and Black America is more enlivened, galvanized and awakened than ever before, he wants to jump on the next bandwagon.
Let's face it, this dude will now profit from making a track about white privilege. What a self-fulfilling prophecy. Ha.
Is the message not the same when it comes from the mouth of Talib Kweli, Common, Kendrick Lamar, Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, Arrested Development and so many others who have been screaming about this for years, decades and generations?
Not to mention he drops this surely controversial song as he announces his next album.
I don't trust or respect any opportunist who is so utterly and insultingly transparent.
Full disclosure, before y'all call me pressed and a hater on Macklemore, I will help you out.
The answer is YES.
Yes, I do want Macklemore to stop rapping period, full stop. I have never been a fan, and I find him corny and conveniently self-righteous. That's beyond his skin color and a topic for another day.
