He hasn't released on streaming yet or YouTube only insta and Twitter. Once it's up on streaming he said all proceeds will go to The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

NGL I haven't heard about him in years since Thrift Shop.

Not sure who his target audience is.

Yeah that shit is actual fire. Even played on the Drake dis track.

This seems sussy. Half this person's posts are slams on Biden and there are comments like this song is "fire".

It is in fact not fire. It's edgy but the composition is lacking soul. It's just a convoluted, non provoking edge piece. I don't find it thought provoking or relatable. It's just a bunch of political references thrown together.

Just your opinion. I thought it was a great summary and relevant message with the recent protests, plus the very public message that he's not voting for Biden over this. If anything I'd call it a bit cheesy, but definitely not edgy. But Macklemore is a little cheesy so it works.

Not voting for Biden when the only other viable option is a fascist seems a bit like edge lord bullshit to me, but idk, maybe I'm out of touch with slang

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago

Supporting a genocide massively unpopular with your voters when your opponent is a fascist seems a bit like establishment entitlement bullshit to me, but idk, maybe I’m out of touch with slang.

Biden knows what he needs to do to salvage his election, but the whole ideology behind this stubbornness and heavy police crackdown on protests is based on the fury Important People feel when they're told to do something by their inferiors.

Also Macklemore lives in Seattle, so it doesn't matter who he votes for.
