Especially Thrift Shop – I love it! Thrift Shop I just wanted to share three of their videos – because while the lyrics and messages of the songs are great (against selling out and materialism in Thrift Shop, for acceptance of gay and lesbian folks in Same Love, and for being independent in Can’t Hold Us), the videos are even more awesome. The duo knew that their music would do the rest for itself.Īnywho, enough of me blabbing on about them. As they explained to Stephen Colbert (video here), they did “rent out” (instead of “selling out”) by paying the Warner Group to get them radio air time. The team is independent (as Macklemore makes quite clear in his song “Can’t Hold Us”) so they don’t have a record label. The song just won Best Rap Song of the Year at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. ![]() I guess the biggest hit song by Macklemore (real name Ben Haggerty) and Ryan Lewis (who does most of the producing, I think) was Thrift Shop, which is a satire about the recent trend in rap music to simply boast about how much money you have and how much you paid for things (one of my favorite parts of the song is when Macklemore says that paying $50 for a t-shirt, just because it’s Gucci, is getting swindled and pimped). I stumbled across Macklemore and Ryan Lewis a couple of months ago and I’ve been somewhat obsessed ever since. The point is, songs are way out-of-date by the time I somehow get to hear them. I don’t have a car, so I don’t listen to the radio, and my computer is so out of date that YouTube doesn’t even work, so I can’t listen to music on there.
