Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Otherside (Live at KEXP)

[Brotastik]

True passion

[xXSnapCrackLeXx]

damn, most music these days is so fake and over blown with post-production editing. Half the famous artists these days separately record each verse. Macklemore just put it all into ONE passionate recording. Amazing.

[rawrcheetos]

I'm sorry but Macklemore sounds so weird, his breathing ruins his rhythm and it just sounds off

[TylerJayVain]

Don't know how you could watch him spit and not get goosebumps.

[catlovers14]

that's pure passion for music right there folks!

[catlovers14]

Flawless.

[xkidd092]

Mac..........KLEMORE. Fuck Mac Miller (i love him to)

[ARGIMSOMAD]

You the best Macklemore, keep on doin what you do

[Blksteez]

This is my Fucking favorite song along with the end those songs give me reason

[Pianosaurus88]

To the two haters:

Look at the dislike bar

Then look at your penis

Now back to the dislike bar

Looks the same huh?

[armsty]

What stands out most to me is the emotion he tries to hide at the end. This is a bloke whose music means something.

[dsrs221]

I love that guy in the back who plays the trumpet. He seems really into the music.

[Brutaliuz]

he never got up, he never got up

we live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it wont be us

it wont be us, it wont be us, it wont be us

nah, it wont be us

[midlandkidd21]

why are the rappers who really " spit the truth" never get where they should be in the world.

[69itech]

@midlandkidd21 because life isnt fair and fair isnt real lifes like shoe there that one shoe u wantto fit but it dont so u have settle for those wack shoes that do and u dont end up with what u need or what u want likes bulshit suck it up lifes a fit no dis to you all but i dont give a fuck i still stand tall =)

[42KaKa]

@midlandkidd21 Because they follow the formula: violence, drugs and sex sells.

[chAOStoob]

@midlandkidd21 becuase most people dont like people who stray from the formula.

[TheNickPritchard]

@midlandkidd21 cuz the truth hurts and their choruses aren't as catchy.

[MarcoHuber53]

Do you all guys realize he really lives his music? That is a point that is missing in so many rappers and musicians...

[orangatang4p]

who is that ass hole that didnt like this?!

[THEPEN123434]

@orangatang4p assholes

[rainbowmangoes]

His emotions transcends so clearly it gives me chills.

[Dxnts]

@rainbowmangoes i know bro he is so good :)

[dh55nine420]

Dope

[dylan11fox]

chills

[imsoawesome1122]

who talk in the interview at the beginning of the track

[TheAtomicReagan]

@imsoawesome1122 thats Bun B on Fox news. I cant remeber what its called but you can find the interview on youtube.

[sk8er25]

he's a very deep lyricist. It gives me chills. i feel what he feels 

[xHeroxGxDealx]

Press the CC button at 0:30, there some weird message:

"the things we had a problem the president

and the national committee did you notice"

[Bristy90]

love the violin...

[williecantrell72]

at ruffley about 2:30 and afterwards, you can tell that this song isnt just some bullshit. He's speakin true words that peole face everyday and putting it into a song. He's not singin or rappin about Boats & Hoes but about life. And on top of that it sounds more than amazing

[goblin183]

I LOVE the way he can change the lyrics a bit every time, i only showes it really comes from the heart! Respect from Norway!

[FIR3WILL]

r.i.p chad butler, pimp c

[mak625420]

this is real music right here! its what comes from deep inside, real emotions!  macklemore, you are an inspiration!!

[davidshogan]

Real dope. Love the live instruments. A bit of Sage Francis, maybe with more consciousness and less frustration/anger. That's what I hear. Many, many, and more props. And Seattle, too. My home town. I am proud.

[penguinfromtheholy]

@davidshogan I fucking love Macklemore.... AND Sage Francis :3

[iRsAlot]

if you turn on the that ''CC'' thing you get some weird shit at 0:30 something about the president finding lives in a advance 0.o

[moime0]

man people look at rappers like Tpain and shit and they think there gods, if there gods what do you call yourself.... your livee bro... Eminem should be bowin to you.

[zwarte0lola]

@Joshoman66

no offence, but I think the beat, rythm is prob still in his headphones

[bombproofpigeon]

@MinneSneauxta DAMMIT! I always do that. Yeah, I meant Slug. I keep forgetting Atmosphere is Slug and Ante, and now some other dudes playing instrumentals.

[Joshoman66]

1:10 - his voice is so good that he doesnt even need a beat

[AureliaGoci]

i love you.<3

[MaddyVB]

I started to get emotional at 2:12

[squire1617]

When's this guy gonna be famous? he's too good

[TLskates]

My brother has those same headphones, hes a dj

[Buddhafuckswithyou]

lol ryan just chillin over there at the end made me crack up xD

[AyyyCeee]

who the fuck would dislike this?! this is what all music should be... REAL SHIT. soooo much respect to Macklemore.

[Colezslaw]

Listen to the message and take it in

[pPARODYGALOREe]

this is how every song i the world should sound like . macklemore is the best

[nucks4thewin]

amazing

[aaroneliotrobbins]

winning.

[mystiicmaul]

how can anyone dislike this?

[Bananie102]

he looks truly happy when he does this. if you see him in concert you will see he is honestly living his dream. now everyone stop hatin and just listen to the music.

[kilgannon2113]

@ShadowStepCr3w i mostly agree with you lol. underground rap is definitely where most of the art and passion in the genre went, but honestly Lupe Fiasco is a fucking god, one of the few good mainstream rap artists

[alexfosterroman]

he had to gather himself together at the end there because he was almost about to explode with too much passion.

[EzMusicification]

this is absolutely incredible. he's real music.

[samselcer]

does anyone know where i can download this song for my ipod? :) i like this version that they did

[Acidreamr69]

1 person sipped a little to much

[saintnizzel]

amazing!!!

[missmariss99574]

dear god, this gave me goosebumps....

[caraisrockin]

Very nice!

[rebellions420]

1 dislike.... haha what a bitch

[3daygracc2596]

The emotion this dude puts into his shit is crazy.

[rastaltu]

he is a true brother. keep it up mate,sooner or later people will realize what you tryin to say,some of them already know :)

[iEatUglyNoobs]

It's so annoying. I like macklemore but so many people talk about how this is real and deep and everything is bad. No. Being deep isn't always good. It's annoying how a lot of underground rappers mostly rap about rap and they bash on how messed it is.

[aleopold32]

@iEatUglyNoobs so, they should just let it go unchecked? there's nothing wrong with criticism from within.

[billykim100]

@iEatUglyNoobs Coming from some dumbass named iEatUglyNoobs.....if ur gonna try to sound like u know what the fuck your talking about then dont make a youtube account name that makes u sound like an annoying 12 year old

[iEatUglyNoobs]

@billykim100 Sorry I made this account three years ago. The only argument you have is my username. Idiot.

[eweegs]

he is fucking amazing, this song is tooooooo sick.



[ender4life]

Rap with strings and a horn. FILTHY. Also, anyone negatively commenting on this video should go turn their radio on and listen to whatever they tell you to.

[eXpLiiiSiT]

MARIJUANA :)

[Thetrampinkid]

it started a meaningful song, now it's for the money.

[hippovrhino]

...... i dont get it sound cheap

[unreal993]

hate to be this guy... but one person drinks cough syrup

[eaglesscreech]

the instruments don't go at all...disappointing. Good rapping

[julesL5]

@eaglesscreech thats because the actual song has a beat behind it, which is otherside by RHCP

[oasisrocksmysocks]

That violin sounds like a CELLO! Weird. This is great!

[supaflyz88]

rapper/poet. this guy is dope.

[homestar9]

Kube needs to play this shit and actually represent seattle!

[mick155555]

@homestar9 No doubt man

[drockchapchap]

1 hater. i love it.

[bombproofpigeon]

Dude he sounds like Atmosphere and Brother Ali had a baby! :D

[Frankieflips]

@bombproofpigeon yeah he def sounds like slug from atmosphere.. which is def a compliment. big ups

[djwetto63]

@bombproofpigeon haha true that and grieves is his cousin. On slug's side of course

[RockinRacoonZ]

Holy shit, that was completely outstanding gave me shivers

[BillyandGail]

incredible and ellegant



[Jeeves914]

You da man Mack.

[Jeeves914]

It's better than the shit! You da man Mack.

[fullmetal49]

wow, thats all i can say

[theksp2011]

Anyone know where I can get the instrumental of this song?

[hayleeloo]

Seattle wins at life. Hahahahaha.

[AARON0829]

[mooseknee12]

Amazing...

[dallasbagley]

Just discovered this man last night. And I can already say, he is simply one of the greatest doing it right now! His music is awe inspiring.

[h3ndrixfan03]

@readymade98 sex sells so we try to sound like someone else this is not cali-fornication GET IT?!

[spintmes]

@h3ndrixfan03 I get what you're saying, you may be right...but it's like Californiacation, not cali-fornication...idk I just thought of it as Otherside and Californiacation are both Red Hot Chili Pepper songs. who knows.

[readymade98]

@h3ndrixfan03 he doesn't say what you wrote. he says california-cation. i was just trolling. sorry this video is to good critique that type of thing

[h3ndrixfan03]

@readymade98 figured you were trolling. but ok in the actual song he says what I wrote guess he just messed up who cares this shit is still dope

[SPACEMIGG]

This dude needs to be on the radio WAY more its to bad he aint that famous like lil wang but the difrence is that his music will live on FOREVER!!!!

[amsbeats]

[Simplejackson1]

macklemore will be the greatest rapper while this generation lives.... but nobody knows it yet.

[fox15369]

@Simplejackson1 Slug is better, but Macklemore is pretty solid you're right

[larssonk22]

genius production and lyrics

[dizzie1212]

that trumpet pissed me off with the sound!!!

[dizzie1212]

this is dope as fuck

[378xxianxx378]

mosting rapping is bullshit and i've heard alot. this is real. it comes from the heart and NO BULLSHIT truly comes from heart

[jimmy9258]

make him famous, so he can make a song with his favorite rapper. i don't give a shit if u don't like wayne, but this guy deserves it

[StonedRaiderKush]

sad sad song should be played in south radio stations so they slow down with the syrup!

[RedJester24]

Goddamn. Macklemore is the truest. Much respect.



[ShadowStepCr3w]

THIS IS REAL RAP, LIL WAYNE OR ANY MAINTSTRAM RAPER CANT FUCKIN COMPETE!

[RedJester24]

@ShadowStepCr3w can't compete, true...not a big mainstream fan myself but you gotta love Lil Wayne; his favorite.

[jakesakook]

@ShadowStepCr3w the most truthful thing EVER!

[supplipdx]

@ShadowStepCr3w u know macklemore loves lil wayne.ha

[theblackmanOyeah]

@ShadowStepCr3w

mainstram raper. nice.

[TRZwerg]

@theblackmanOyeah

Lol'd so hard on that one :D.

[hagsagers]

@ShadowStepCr3w true true i agree but one of macklemores favorite rappers is lil wayne suprisingly just wanna point that out

[ShadowStepCr3w]

@hagsagers lol yeah kinda weird, but he likes him for different reasons probably...

[iquitdc]

@ShadowStepCr3w except eminem.

[TheMisterRogers]

@ShadowStepCr3w *rapper... Raper is completely different... I agree though.

[clarky278]

@ShadowStepCr3w Love it how he says he likes lil wayne in it tho eh hahah

One person i wanna see live before i die eh

[askachub88]

@ShadowStepCr3w dude i fuckin hit like but it hit dislike so im sorry if you get one dislike but i swear i hate lil wayne and i love macklemore so SO DONT BE MAD

[bzspo509]

yo good shit man

[dsh1224]

i like this version best. the red hot chili peppers sample and the beat on the album takes away from the song and the a cappella slam poetry version sans everything is too bare. This, with just him, the violin, and the horn is just right. Great song.

[flyingrobotfilms]

Goosebumps...

[Coolj7575]

SO GOOD

[TheRadsauce]

Weed is my anti-drug

[5150yee]

weed aint no druggg

[THEMAYNE15]

its not physically addictive but the high is mentally it can fuck peole up

[nickjonasluv911]

ever since J.R poted this I fell in love with this song! it's the shit! J.R know s goood music!

[dinosaursx3]

jr shared this on twitter! I love it!

[tammybearx3]

JR sent me here and i'm loving it, he's got really good taste in music

[grace749]

JR sent me:)

[16aramisRAMIREZ]

That's a deep song---I only found it cuz of JR. I actually like Macklemore now--2 songs down, lots more to learn about Seattle music!!

[nixchick20]

me too...JR and his music. I'm lovin this song

[16aramisRAMIREZ]

Yeah---I'm so not from the N/W but I'm loving this song anyway (: JR does have good taste in music, though!!

[nixchick20]

yup, he does...I have to get time to go through all the ones he's posted. I'm not from the States...so the stuff we hear are the mainstream things...

[16aramisRAMIREZ]

There's quite a few on his twitter---I did that last night haha..I'm not too much of a fan of mainstream things---but where I live there's not really anything independent.

[nixchick20]

I'm following him on twitter too, that's how I found this clip...so many more to go through...lol. I'm not a fan of current mainstream...more 90's stuff isn't bad, but always good to add more good music to the playlist ;) so good lookin out JR for promoting his Seattle bands :)

[16aramisRAMIREZ]

It shouldn't take ya too long to find em' though---they go up until october of last year---he's got some really good music on twitter...I think I just repeated myself haha...I'm a proud supporter of JR! (:

[nixchick20]

lol...definitely someone worth supporting! :)

[16aramisRAMIREZ]

totally!! :)

[ambrosialiti]

I'm so excited JR is sharing all of this music. Check out some more--he's promoting some of our best here in Seattle.

Northwest classic.

[16aramisRAMIREZ]

(: I'm happy he's sharing it too. I was shocked but everything I've heard (that he's posted) has been really good (: I normally am just a "country" person, but I've actually liked the lyrics..JR's amazing, and I'm learning that Seattle music is, too! (:

[BURNS33558]

@16aramisRAMIREZ  same here

This song is about addiction, and how he had an awfull experience with it.

When he saids "The fact that most people that rap like this talkin about some shit they haven't live" and
