If you told me a decade ago I'd be siding with Macklemore on anything, I wouldn't believe you.

Eh tbf he's always kinda been like this but people dismissed cause he's not as cool~ as the other rappers and the white boy thing lol.

100%. Most of his takes have been spot on in re: blm, grammies, the 99% (I might misremembering this, maybe), and now palestine + other genocides.

i mean i will fess up that as an LGBTQ person i was kind of BEC about him over "when i was in the third grade i thought that i was gay / cause i could draw, my uncle was, and i kept my room straight" (specifically "i thought that i was gay cause my uncle was" had me like 😐 HUH?), but even then with some distance same love is ultimately on the right side of history lol, it's just super corny about it. i've come to kind of like the sometimes-corny earnestness he approaches everything with.

This has always been his bag.

Why y'all act like Macklemore was ever problematic or something? lol He's always been a good dude.

Also he supported kesha and they did a duet together after the whole dr. Luke ordeal and I believe, toured together too

[for_serious13]

Yup, he was one of a few major artists that publicly supported Kesha with more than just words of support
