[ajjunebug]

This is amazing.. overly amazing.

[Chaosfire360]

Don't know how anyone could listen to that and not be moved. Such intense emotion. Straight from the heart.

[MrDannyweisz]

lyrical genius

[mandacanrock]

1:45- the end... so powerful

[DudeDatWalrus]

[DudeDatWalrus]

Lil Wayne has dug his grave and is laying in it already. Every new shitty song he puts out is just covering his coffin.

[mazerhari]

[pandaex1217]

If I hadn't known of the song beforehand, I would have thought he was an AMAZING slam poet. Good shit.

[monkiebrane101]

This is like spoken word but I love it better this way.

[flimflabber]

@skanoniv



[BionicGangsta]

@skanoniv nice man

[FoShoJ02]

the sad part is that he had to change it from knowing 3 people that died from oxy to 4

[LinkMuslc]

@skanoniv lol

[kangdongsun1]

hes an artist. painting with his words

[seductivehobbit1]

His  A Cappella rap is better than almost every other rappers raps with beats

[tahiNZ1]

Macklemore is truly amazing! He speaks the truth. He has got me through so much! All I can say is thankyou macklemore, thankyou.

[ItsJustChicken]

[CallMeAthena]

goosebumps.

[jkyep13]

what does 'cheef dimes' mean

[krauser31595]

@jkyep13 Chiefing means to smoke and dimes is an amount of marijuana, so chief dimes means smoking a dime's worth of marijuana.

[jkyep13]

@krauser31595 thank you!

[xlsubzero]

@jkyep13 to smoke some weed.

[4funmrruns]

take 95% of the most popular hip-hop/rap songs and take out the instrumental like this... see how many dislikes that vid gets.... this is true talent

[kdubwilli1993]

On another level. It is incredible how lyrically amazing he is. i legitimately got goosebumps. Art is the only way to describe this.

[BlakeAndTylerFilms]

Macklemore would be one hell of a spoken word poet. Thank you for using your talent to positively influence the younger generations.

[talktoomuchx]

directly to the heart. of course.

[TheRyanh17]

Poetry in motion



[lharstad93]

breathtaking.

[LittleNBigPro]

most powerful song ive ever heard

[jaisav]

chills from this

[haggs121]

i think that youtube automatically adds dislikes, there is no possible way a human would press it.

[Free4all2011]

yo if you like this look up K-Rino Soul Merchants or the THe debate. He's got a lot of good songs similar to this stuff.. real.

[DjCallahanz]

Macklemore=Art

enough said

[infernoyaoguai]

HHHHmmm what??????????

[slickwilly213]

im glad theres finally a rapper who's recognized for writing about something really meaningful and important

[Free4all2011]

@slickwilly213 theres lots man.. you jsut have to look away from the mainstream and you'll see taht these artists are getting a lot of notice these days

[sweetpea4817]

[xcfiggax]

@NatMakeLammingtons forreal.

me too. holy shit

[WHOISJOSHWHO]

@18onthis, ur mom said the same thing askin me for ur child support

[im18onthis]

THIS IS AWKWARD

[BlueeyedDK]

Macklemore came to my highschool in seattle washington. He came to talk to kids in our truancy club and he told us his life story. He cares about the youth of the next generation and even though Lil Wayne is his favorite, he supports none of the stupid shit Lil Wayne "sings" about. this is rap. this is inspiration. this is the reason for teens to get up in the morning and say "fuck what i was given. Im going to go out today and make this world better." Lil Wayne couldnt care less about truancy.

[treynbilly]

@BlueeyedDK wat schoo you go too??

[gigglehead24]

@BlueeyedDK what school?



[mwelds11]

[jmillski9]

creaking...the downside of a wooden floor

[slappy00000]

This is the true hip hop....i wish there where more just like this

[95Pine]

@MrAlreadyGotThose I really like what you're trying to say here but actually rap is more poetic than hip hop. Also hip hop has more of a lifestyle attached to it that dates back to the 90's when there were mad graffiti artists and b-boys. This is what I would call rapping cause Macklemore just empties his thoughts here with no beat and no references to mainstream topics. It's a pretty fine line though and I could be wrong.

[iVacancyRoute]

@95Pine I completely agree.

[darrienmack]

I hate how there are dislikes for this video. This shows how twisted the people who go on YouTube are. This song is GOLDEN.

[AmSlokHD]

fuck a beat macklemore kills it a cappela he spits fire its raining lyrics so we will need a umberella

[Stoopidhead96]

damn i saw him live and he KILLED it. this version is so sick

[jadan18]

Okay now wheres the instrumental? >.< Cant find it anywhere..

[UnicornNinja420]

@jadan18 Look Harder. Its everywhere.

[jadan18]

@UnicornNinja420 I shouldve said in the same quality that it is in the song...Thats what I meant

[EZ30Loyale]

I like his brostache.

[PpRrIiMmOo4]

"im not gonna be like that guy, im not gonna be like that guy"

[Blongkin]

[sunited16]

[IG3st4chI]

So much emotions shown through this song omg. Macklemore, your more then just an artist. Keep up what your doing cause its dope. Maybe, one day you'll change the ways of hip hop and rap, your already on a great rode.

[xkidd092]

this guy's a poet. this was beautiful. chills..

MACK COME TO TORONTO ! We love you here in Canada

[nissan300zxkid]

Im westcoast AND HE IS FUCKING DOPE.

[alainaaaaRB]

wow. this is real. you're amazing mack!

[MrHiphopfan93]

How can you compare this to mos def, Talib kweli (Blackstar), rakim, biggie, slick Rick and of all people big l. All big l talks about is killing people and " fucking chicks in the ass since I was 6 and half" lol no comparison

[supnukkkka22]

To the men that can go on without a label on their backs and keep hip hop alive. <3

[stunizzlebizzle]

brings tears to my eyes, just incredible

[GGubs]

@akaproph eyedea was a prodigy... lovin all those Minnesotan namedrops.

[MsEmiline]

this is what all rap should be. he uses his power through expressions, lyrics, tempo, and tone. not through producing and beats. his words and his feelings are real, just by listening you know. this gives me chills.

[RanGeR3o3]

This song gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it - especially when I listen to this slowed-down acapella version. Macklemore is an incredible lyricist.

[OMGarret]

this is what kids need to be listening to.

[agoodtimes]

Spit poet.

[ORIGINALGANGST4]

@agoodtimes lol i thought you said shit poet haha

[agoodtimes]

@ORIGINALGANGST4 Haha, no sir. Macklemore is definitely NOT a shit poet. Dude is brilliant and one of the reasons that I write.

[torreymadison94]

@amberlikes2drink yeah i can understand where you get your username from because drunkness is the ONLY fuckin way you could ever compare shithead "novi novak" to eminem, let alone macklemore. they shouldn't even be in the same sentence together.

[laxdude303]

such a heavy song done so beautifully

[TUOPAT33]

im gunna go make a mixtape

[NIKE123456789ish]

Filthy

[njd94able]

this is the truth. Sobriety is where its at.

[emilysttours]

he's so sexy.

[emilysttours]

he's seo sexy.

[banksales]

i just remembered that i was listening to a rap

[Xantheman1]

9 people died of an overdose

[NikeSBMatt]

squeeky floor made it more legit

[KidTelllo]

sends chill down my spine

[chAOStoob]

hes more of a poet than a rapper, really.

[TheMmhmmgirl]

@chAOStoob this is true.

[ahhimazombie]

@chAOStoob all the good ones are

[selenecanfly]

beautiful <3

[AcousticLvr]

Just the fact that he can spit without beats and still hold deep meaning and extreme passion amazes me

[amberlikes2drink]

Not going to Lie I like Macklemore but Novi Novak is easily the best white rapper even ahead of Eminem

[AkaProph]

@amberlikes2drink  you're wack, go drink some more and then go to AA, Macklemore is not the best white rapper but he is among the best whit Eydeea, Vinnie Paz, Sadistik, Slug, Brother Ali, etc. FUCK Novi Novak

[BLTwithoutBACON]

@amberlikes2drink eminem is a whiney little bitch, my grandma is ahead of him.

[grimeshine]

@BLTwithoutBACON wow.......

[turniphead14]

woah so passionate, such a real song

[AJWR91]

@zToastyButters i know dude

[fawffles]

he's right, i never thought i'd end up like this.

crystal meth has destroyed my life

[F3ARtheNINJA]

@fawffles <3

[TheNickPritchard]

@fawffles then you should probably stop doing crystal meth.

[IbanezHunter]

@fawffles Hmmm.

Life will get better.

You are a beautiful human being.

[PleaseNegus]

@fawffles if your serious then thats ok..

but if you just joking to try to get a fucking top comment go away. no one wants you watching this

[fawffles]

@PleaseNegus Woah man... just speaking the truth. one year clean in four days thank you very much

[AJWR91]

this is real music

[zToastyButters]

@AJWR91 This is more than music bro.. it's poetry.. it's truth..

[vanderbiltsax]

I love Macklemore but I every time i see him, I can't help but think of the nut guy from "Best in Show". /watch?v=KGmNqzbsuiY

[WHYTRIP206]

whoa.

[MrAlreadyGotThose]

This is Hip-hop... Many people confuse rap and hip-hop... Rap is the shit that Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, Lil' Wayne are spitting; stuff with no reason, no purpose, but to make money... Birdman said HIMSELF in an interview "Fuck hip-hop, I just make money"... It's terrible that this is the bullshit we play on the radio... Hip-hop, well if you're watching this video you know what hip-hop is... Live long Macklemore and so many others like him... Purely wonderful, even though the message hurts

[MoolahDough]

@MrAlreadyGotThose hip-hop is a culture that that is made of up multiple elements bro, and RAPPING is a part of the hip-hop culture, you can't say they are different.

[TehGame4lyf]

@MrAlreadyGotThose

Do you seriously not know the difference between rap and hip-hop? Hip-hop is a genre of music. Tupac, Guru, Eminem, Macklemore, and unfortunately Soulja Boy all sing hip-hop. Rap on the other hand is the act of rhyming lyrics to a beat, and has been around for hundreds of years. Rap is a verb. Hip-hop is a genre that involves rapping.

[ORIGINALGANGST4]

@MrAlreadyGotThose what those guys do is not rap haha! its not hip hop either, it is just trash, commercialized bullshit, calling gucci mane and lil wayne rappers is a compliment. big daddy kane is a rapper. slick rick, big l, tech9ne, B.I.G, talib kweli mos def, 2pac and the one and only RAKIM. they are rappers. but nas was wrong. hip hop aint dead. macklemore aint doing it big, but he doing it real.

[nissan300zxkid]

@MrAlreadyGotThose U said it jus right..

[13marzyboi]

@MrAlreadyGotThose I agree with all of those people except for lil wayne. everyone raps about the same shit, and lil wayne raps about that shit too but he also raps about shit that is important to him and that touches his life, i like people like macklemore better but im just saying you cant hate on them all because they do push for what they beleive in occasionally.

[sneakaholic011]

@13marzyboi agreed. lil wayne puts out garbage these days but a lot of people don't know that he used to be pretty raw. go back to carter I and II for example. i even liked carter III but it just didn't have the same feel.

[PapaSmurfWasHigh]

@MrAlreadyGotThose sorry for responding to a 4month old comment, but I'm just wondering,would saying "macklemore raps about real stuff" be correct. I'm talking about the "raps" part..

[diegoLOCCS]

@MrAlreadyGotThose "Rap is what we do, Hip Hop is how we live!" - KrsONE

[TehEqaz]

@MrAlreadyGotThose i love you

[wpOakie]

@MrAlreadyGotThose actually this is rap. its a genre of music... just cuase there are alot of shitty rappers doesnt make this a different genre just cause its good

[PeacemakerShaun1011]

No beat, just truth

[live4wavesNY]

its funny how people are talking shit about lil wayne when in the song macklemore says lil wayne is his favorite haha dumb haters

[AloJou]

@live4wavesNY lol - He says he's his favourite, but he is spiting him in his morals. He doesn't agree with drug-based raps and drug-based creativity.

[jewses]

@MinneSneauxta when he said "cheatin' and lyin', friendship cease, no peace in the mind" i got a chill that went allll the way down my back. His lyrics could move a stone cold boulder.

[gotjunk333]

This is what music can be without talking about money, girls, and cars.
