Macklemore - American

[beatblue1897]

Decent song but this is hardly the majority of America. This is just the stereotype. If you go all across America, you will find that the majority of our citizens are not what is portrayed in this song. Sure, some are, and they're idiots, but everyone country has their fair share of idiots. Honestly, this is just a classic conservative vs. liberal fight. Most of the people Macklemore describes are hardcore conservatives. But people could make comments like this about hardcore liberals.

[01Ashton26]

Then your a terrorist, and you eat sand... sandwiches.

[brutalback]

I think it's pathetic that the majority of the individuals who claim to know "the truth" about the United States, say that it's a shithole. The majority of these people have never even been out of the country, they need to be more grateful. Granted, the United States has it's problems, but it's still a helluva lot better than a good amount of countries out there, including 1st world ones.

[PIttPensFan55]

LMFAO

[ArmyOfWalrus]

I live in America, and I think it's hilarious how Macklemore pretty much tells what's wrong with most American citizens.

[mitchday24]

if your a terrorist you eat sand

HEYYY fuck terrorist i mean fuck terrorist i said fuck terrorist not i wanna fuck terrorist if you caught osama you wouldnt give him one in the butt

[mitchday24]

@mitchday24 i missed a few parts

[respectcaptainmel]

Hahahaha this is so fucking great

[DudeDatWalrus]

redneck view of america

AMERICA>rest of the world

a person who actually knows what they're talking about view

anywhere else but america>America

[MPSxLSW]

Yeah we get it "my country can beat urs." Nobody gives a fuck. Every country has stereotypes about each other. No need to argue about it in the comments of a youtube video

[smiles4949]

@MutantHaydon, your comment is as ignorant as the audience this song was making fun of.

[keeg1934]

@Xtheoraclell even if we are so called morons i dont give a tit. we are still capable of making whatever country you live in a puddle.you know what we will do with that puddle, first off the majority of the country being so called morons would probably just laugh. then secondly we would put an amuzement park on top of the shithole you called home. and lastly not to ramble but shit + macklemore doesnt equall america, it equalls the poop extract left in the toilet and macklemore pinches a loaf.USA

[TheAtomAnt22]

I'm Amuurrakin :D

[mountainbikinlover]

who else is watchin this on the super bowl?

[Alixondria]

Greatest country in the world!

[mobties02]

I'm an American and I love my country. Not my government.Other than those that are clearly trolling, its easy to make derogatory comments about another part of the world but this is our HOME. most of us sincerely wish our government would take notes on what makes other countries great. No country can claim to be the BEST. But to sit behind a keyboard and mock somebody's home is ridiculous. Maybe your country is better in some ways, but its clearly not because of YOU

[EatBlueWaffle]

@Xtheoraclell ... You're a faggot.

[two0sixTay]

unless your from the NW you might not understand this....

[northwestblazinfire]

beautiful satire.....brilliant satire



[TheEmmanuelle1]

@Emtastic1995 otherside and the town arent jokes otherside is about his friend that died because of cough syrup OD

[wolfman1000100]

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA HEY, HEY !

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA HEY, HEY !

[wolfman1000100]

I said: " FUCK TERRORISTS, not I WANNA FUCK A TERRORIST !"

[MIKELOVESDOGS]

what do you say we go get shit faced in a hellocopter and kill a moose...what?

[emtastic1995]

Yes! You've got an amazing sense of humor! For those of you who don't know, this Seattleite makes joke songs, it's part of his style! Look up "and then we danced", "otherside" and "the town". My thumbs are up for you, Macklemore! :D

[tbrays615]

@emtastic1995 and we danced may be a joke song, but if you knew anything otherside and the town are not joke songs by any stretch of the imagination. go listen to them again dumbs

[Guyflyer12]

You guys are clearly retarded. This is obviously a joke...

[thatsoccerfan1]

Little Aberdeen shut the fuck up.

[anidum4]

@XtheoracleII, stop being a terrorist.

[XtheoracleII]

666 Comment its the MARK of the BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!

Dajjal, illuminati, the all seeing EYE!

[XtheoracleII]

USA USA USA we are morons! LOVE IT!

[XtheoracleII]

Your song is an insult to the HUMAN RACE.

[trevorandrewjohnson]

@XtheoracleII Do you know what the word satire means?

[geoprism930]

@XtheoracleII jokes are for smart people, sorry.

[MrBong420swed]

@XtheoracleII no, just the fucking retarded united states shit whole people

[XtheoracleII]

If you like this shit twang red neck crap, you got an IQ lower than a Monkey.

[ArmyOfWalrus]

@XtheoracleII If you think this song is seriously putting American rednecks in a positive light, even if you hate the song, then you are missing a few braincells.

[XtheoracleII]

UNITED States of Morons

[XtheoracleII]

America is the Sphincter of the WORLD.

[XtheoracleII]

America We hate your guts!

[XtheoracleII]

I wanna shit in your mouth!

[Cheezlicious]

@XtheoracleII That's not how you troll, big guy.

Or at least I hope that's what you're going for...

Otherwise you're a little broken.

[XtheoracleII]

F**k The USA!

[XtheoracleII]

S h i T + Macklemore = AMERICA.

[TheArzeb]

@XtheoracleII Shut the f*ck up. Macklemore is the best rapper around.

[XtheoracleII]

AMER I CA F^ck you!

[XtheoracleII]

[TDgangsta76]

hahaha this song is great. AMERICA <3

[THECRICKETEER30]

I'm supporting the jets dude. Fuck you mutanthayden. Go maintain you dripping pussy

[MutantHaydon]

@THECRICKETEER30 Who is mutanthayden? America isn't even close to a top 20 country worldwide. The 1% rules the other 99%. And nobody will stand up because you are told, one day, you can be just like us (the 1%).

[THECRICKETEER30]

@jets2120 Its not that I can't identify England on a map...I just don't wanna get out my magnifying glass. Everyone but America sucks and ya'll know it

[Hihohiho33]

hi

[84almond]

Little Aberdeen, Shut the fuck up! I'm American <3

[12politiker]

Just fucking awesome!!! Fuck terrorists ;)))

[racerfreak8]

im an american and i find this fuckin hilarious haha

[MutantHaydon]

@vladradforpres5 I have universal health care, a good school system, a good legal system that works, unlike yours. Our crime rates are very low compared to yours. We have a good economy, we are a very good sporting nation, we also have integrity as a nation, as well as being able to admit our own mistakes. But most of all, and this is really what we should be proud of, we didnt't vote George Bush to lead our country, if he is seriously the best you had in your country, you my friend, are shit.

[drcaramelcake]

@MutantHaydon keep in mind that only about half the country voted for george bush. our country is split idealogically right now which is causing the government to make bad decsions trying to please anyone, which in turn pleases no one. mackemore is god.

[iDoopy]

@vladradforpres5 Kangaroos.

[DaGarlickMister]

@vladradforpres5 well their economy is in a far better state than any of ours...

[MutantHaydon]

Thank God I am Australian haha, even if all American's are not like this, the world thinks you are haha. And I love the, DEY TOOK AWWOUR JERBS! Like from South Park haha.

[jets2120]

@MutantHaydon Go fuck yourself americas the best country in the world none of these bull shit stereo typical things are true

also you Australian pussys have nothing to show and our country could beat the shit out of yours

[MutantHaydon]

@jets2120 Your country could beat the shit out of Australia? Come on, you wouldn't do that, we don't nearly have enough oil to attract your attention. In what way are Australian's pussys? We are decendants of convicts, we are the definition of a tough country. Where is in America, the majorty of people who should be convicts are in the corporate world. You have no universal health care, your economy is terrible, and almost half of the American adults cannot identify England on a map.

[jets2120]

@MutantHaydon You think your the definition of tough

[SnazzyPumpkins]

@MutantHaydon don't place too much care on their opinions. I'm Turkish, it takes endurance to do what your country did to mine at Gallipoli (but hey we won ;D). I love my country, but that doesn't mean I disrespect every other one on Earth. My point being, just ignore them, they're immature teens without a clue about real life.

[MutantHaydon]

@SnazzyPumpkins Lol yeah you won the battle, it was suicide what our guys did, quite heroic actually. I don't even disrespect them as people, I just think there ways are imperial and unjust. Hey come on, I am a teen, the only differences is I have a voice of my own, unlike the ones born into the American capitalist machine.

[iSOFootage]

@MutantHaydon Your an idiot dude. Just stop talking, unlike the ones born into the American capitalist machine? Really, we voice our opinions and have a voice of our own, each of us. Your making stupid judgmental stereotypes. Like the same thing as me saying " dont let your baby get eatin by a dingo." or " gooday mate!" so shut up

[emeyix]

@iSOFootage So what stereotypes was he talking about? Your economy IS shit, your healthcare system IS shit, your education, except for universities which the majority cant afford, IS shit. And yeah you might have a nice army but you cant even afford a fucking war to use it in. So whats the point?

[123456789123456789AE]

@MutantHaydon sad but true

[castlemeister]

If you caught Bin Laden you wouldn't give him one in the butt?

[Isidar1000]

The declaration should look like these lyrics.

[peppergame4life]

i'm ameri fucken can

[scoop2230]

FUCK YEAH ROMO!

[Isidar1000]

I don't think mackelmore knew that when he wrote this song, trying to diss on republicans, that he would write the national anthem for us. Go America.

[beastin325]

28 people are terrorists who eat sand.... and suck dick

[xSushiRush]

@beastin325 This song isn't an American anthem idiot. It's a giant satire of our culture and stupidity. Fucking ironic. 

[phzz090]

Can we stop arguing and agree that this song is hilarious?

About his character in the song:

Everyone has seen this person. Every rational person hates this person. That's why it's funny. The end.

Of course it isn't all Americans, that doesn't even make sense.

[armyrangersgirl]

@phzz090 I don't hate this person.....I think he's great, I assure you I'm quite rational. Let me guess, you are another politically correct, touchy feely, liberal right?

[0htrue]

fucken hilarious

[thatissocool100]

I wonder how many people actually know that Aberdeen is a city in Washington.

[ohfriggina]

I'm pretty sure that we're all intelligent enough to understand that he's making fun of America. Thanks for the heads up though. And actually, if you want to get technical, he's making fun of the STEREOTYPE of America. Most of us are not like that at all. But people always pay attention to the worst people in a group rather than the best. Shame.

PS: Don't hate on the South! I promise most of us really are not like this at all.

PPS: FUCK YEAH ROMO!

[bringdaruckus123]

aye took err jaaabzz!!!

[phuuyay]

@bringdaruckus123 SOUTH PARK!!! BACK TO THE GAY PILE!!

[CodyZierVlogs]

Yeah he's mocking America, so what? I'm American and I'm proud that we can make fun of ourselves and we don't get butthurt when other people do. Macklemore was American raised, he's just having fun and being funny. Now shut up and enjoy the song.

[TheGimpMaster01]

@CodyZierVlogs Amen.

[chillycheeze1]

so classic my grandma is paralized and she heard this and started dancing

[23kamr415]

I am a long Time Macklemore Fan. But this the only song i completely hate. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

[83alx]

@23kamr415 Why would you hate it? He's not saying he hates the Redskins, haha.

[engproud93]

@23kamr415

You realize he's mocking un-educated southern hicks, and many of them fall into the category of Cowboys fans. So he's also making fun of the cowboys.

[lkaplan1]

press 6 and listen:

I mean like I don't fuck a terrorist. Guys i'm kidding i like Romo; i don't like Romo. I said fuck terrorist, not i want to fuck a terrorist. You would. If you caught Bin Laden you wouldn't give him one in the but.



[MBarriosMata]

Hahahahahah yeah I said no homo xD

[LEGITfromCA]

u guys dont understand.....hes makin fun of americans lol

[tangemenANDmckelvey]

@LEGITfromCA In sense yes, but don't all wise Americans poke fun at our stereotypes? :P

[iDoopy]

@LEGITfromCA hes makin fun of the southern part of america

[kem198526]

@LEGITfromCA no he's making fun of rednecks

[MJFLovesMusic84]

@LEGITfromCA I think it's less "making fun of Americans" and more of making fun of narrow-minded idiots who just spew stuff for no reason (Specifically extreme, discriminatory republicans). Considering he's American, I don't think he would make fun of Americans. Plus, aside from being a citizen of the United States of America, it would be hard to group all the different types of Americans into one stereotype.

[LEGITfromCA]

@MJFLovesMusic84 yea that too

[ldag92]

@LEGITfromCA No, he is embracing all the great things about America and putting them into one song

[klamathunion44]

This is hilarious! Hahaha

[CornHuskerfan65]

Just got hunting and was riding around with this CRANKED thorugh the trucks' stereo!!!

[georgeharder46]

Who wants to go kill a moose?

[ahighnoonduo]

Any way we can thumb down that top comment? It's the exact opposite of what this song is about. OR MAYBE HE'S TOTALLY AWARE OF THAT

[puresweetnessyo]

like this comment if you want to get the idiot who doesn't understand this song is a satire off the top comments list, it's embarrassing to see that up there

[Hickoppotamus]

@puresweetnessyo It's embarrassing that you don't understand that Salzenator's comment is also sarcastic..

[chrmunoz]

@puresweetnessyo I tried giving you a 100 thumbs damn YouTube didn't let me :/

[swordhaven20]

i live in aberdeen, washington 

[nimonize]

really great song, cool how he's making it funny and interesting at the same time. smart way to make a statement!

[thelightisdark86]

A lot of people aren't getting the gist of this song... Listen to Macklemore's other songs and you will understand that he's making a statement against the stereotypical but ever present, ignorant American citizen. Some of you are listening for the COMPLETE wrong reasons.

[xHeroxGxDealx]

LOL You can't just No homo after what you said about Romo. haha ha ha

[802folife]

best intro i've ever heard

[azcrayz]

@Jimboskunk1 I happen to throroughly enjoy both country and this song sooooooo

[ryanfoleypa]

only a washingtonian would express his far left political views via rap...I love my state

[psteeblik]

"And if you're not clapping your hands, then your a terrorist, and you eat sand.... sandwiches" LOOOL

[TheJMNM]

This pretty much sums up my political views.

[Kerro93]

Give your children macklemore's albums and mixtapes and they'll know all they need to know

[Foxtrot202]

[Fixiefag]

@Salzenator or they are just not into this certain type of music, why do people have to love what you listen to?

[iChino703]

@Salzenator LMFAO idk if your being seriouis bruh but this song is a f'n satire in no way is he represting this ignorance lmfao you idiot hes makin fun of the majority of americans :D

[grahamiscoolful]

@iChino703 Your fucking dumbass

[paulalopezr]

@Salzenator dont you get the humor of the song?

[42KaKa]

I love the truth behind the video, and comedy is always well accepted which is why this isnt getting flamed, but my... this is awesome, stereotypically true.

-Calling everyone terrorists, specially if they're from the middle east

-Fucking off mexican gardeners, janitors, etc... for "stealing" jobs you or any other wouldnt even think of taking.

These are truths, you are free to flame me but doesnt change the fact this song is so funny. Plus, IDGAS.

[raveroids]

@42KaKa troll

[T3XeNoN]

cowboys beat the redskins dont you worry mackle

[KotaMichaelChild24]

And if you're not clappin' your hands... Then you're a terrorist! And you eat sand....... Sandwiches!!! Hahahahahahaha

[thechaca96]

After they killed Bin Laden, they found out that his turban WAS dirty.

[ohfriggina]

I'm from Texas and an American, and this song made me laugh my ass off. Macklemore got it so right. I love how he makes funny songs, but also addresses serious issues.

Oh, and the part about McCain and Palin... so perfect.

[bigchiefadopethiefa]

You wouldn't do it for America if you said no homo right after, that shit made me laugh

[wooooosaw]

Macklemore, you're too dope.

[BlameArts]

lolololololol^^^^

[illtakeit1]

I like the song because it makes light of the faults that are present in some parts of our country like ignorance, bigotry, and just plain stupidity, yet we still love our country anyway. I love it
