It's not unusual for activist energy to be channelled through music.

I'll give it a listen. Maybe this'll make Macklemore relevant again.

Now if Psy can just remix “Gangnam Style” into “Gaza Style” the resurgence of the 2012 non-Black flash-in-the-pan rappers will be complete.

I might actually boycott that song if it existed.

No amount of pro-Palestine protest posting is going to make Macklemore cool again.

I don’t hate the guy or anything, but for most people the first word that comes to mind after hearing his name is “corny”, or something worse. Thrift Shop was stupid but fun, while things like White Privilege II are just cringeworthy and have aged badly. I doubt a protest song that will be forgotten in six weeks is gonna revive his career. I suppose stranger things have happened though.

I did hear his recent song No Bad Days on the radio a few times and liked it, though that was more on the featured artist than him. Just looked it up and apparently it didn’t chart anywhere, which is a little surprising to me.

Macklemore has a new anti-Israel song? That's crazy.

Ummm….wtf?

That’s pretty much blackface, maybe even worse. How did he not get cancelled after that?

Macklemore hitting home some hard truths about Israel Apartheid in this song. That has my vote. ❤️💚🖤🤍

It's cool guys.

He just "randomly" bought a witch's nose, a curly wig, and a curly beard as a "disguise." He had no idea what it would look like when he put it together.

Btw GKMC was robbed in 2014.

How about the multiple anti-semitic dogwhistles used in the song?

This guy made a cringe song about anti-racist protests a while back too. They don't make protest songs like they used to, do they?

Macklemore hasn’t been relevant ever since the Grammy controversy. And for good reasons.
