I haven't understood if this song is socio-critical or if it just makes fun of people with a taste in bad clothes.

The whole album is the best I have heard out of rap in a while.

I'm pretty sure it's just a silly song about how fun it is to find rad deals at a thrift store.

Macklemore is okay, I saw him in concert last year.

I thought it was clever at first and now it's overplayed.

I'm also not really a fan of this type of rap.

In Macklemore's defense, he did write this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdVRlM-kSx8

Interesting...I love it as a novelty song, I didn't realize it was so popular. It's fun as hell and I love the subject matter even though it's not really my type of rap Tongue

I can only listen to these kind of ironic raps once then it's like hearing the same knock knock joke over and over and over again.

Really catchy song, but there are better songs off the album.

As a fan of thrift shops I liked it - it was clever and amusing - but yes, I wouldn't listen to it often.

The song isn't great, and I can't listen to Macklemore for too long, but honestly the guy is harmless and he's trying hard so it's not a complete loss.

Woah! Are you serious?! Jesus...I gotta get more in touch with what's going on in the music world. I'm sitting here thinking this was some weird, mildly-popular-in-Europe joint from a year ago or something. Oops...

I'm a rap fan, of course. I find this song extremely irritating but can't turn it off.

Lol at the overreaction to my comment.

Fwiw, it's a catchy song, and the album does have some other good songs on it like Same Love. Kendrick Lamar has been my favorite rap album recently though.

Have you heard Killer Mike's album with El-P?
