Macklemore - Hold Your Head Up

[McMog86]

dont forget people there are many different types of rappers.. this guy speaks about life other speak about sex,drugs,cars, others about sports, there are paradoy's lets stop hating and listen to what you want its hard to write music, but easy to sell out thats there problem not yours .. peace and love

[xAYOLilANt]

lol when one of my friends are in a bad mood I quote lyrics from this song to them and make them feel better x) ah Macklemore is the man!!

[HoodieGangTV]

Why is there always the Macklemore/Mac Miller comparison? Yeah they are both white, but they have complete different styles. Let's get real.

[foynrots]

15 people aren't strong enought to hold their head up :(

[foynrots]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE THE GERMAN TRANSLATION ?

RESPEKT FROM GERMANYYY

[Sleep1ngD0g]

It's a shame that he barely has more than 500k views, since Nicki Minaj has like 200 million. But then again, when I listen to his music I'm thinking I don't give a fuck.

[yoloxox]

He's a rapper, poet, and motivator. A realist.

[MayMAY78690]

Friend told me about this one

[MrCupOfAwesome]

so heres my rap up. mac miller may be good at making rhymes but his words dont mean anything. they are empty words about girls and clubs and the same shit pop is about. that why i loved eminem's old stuff cause it was about real shit that happens to people. this guy is the same and even though he doesnt have a rough background like em or other rappers like lil wayne, his words are real.

[loluloser3]

@MrCupOfAwesome lil wayne didnt have a rough background hes was from a good house but hes terrible

[HopeDeepRuns]

I love you Macklemore I've been listening to you for 3 years now and you've have gotten me through so much.

Thank you.

[cmarcroft24]

I'm gonna call my local radio station and request this song to hear the DJs reaction. I guarantee they won't have it nor know of its existence. And then it will be clear what the mainstream problem is

[TheCD200]

Macklemore is awesome and real. Hope they always will be.

[FaydinqFTW]

14 people have a picture perfect life..

[BaGisDoPe]

I have recently started to listen to macklemore and I can confidently click on any of his songs and know that i will like it (unlike garbage mainstream rappers)

[atver920801]

if you wanna take a ride with me

[Jurban150]

Macklemore is a poet. Thank you. Because of you this head will be held up.

[ianoconnor711]

Em Raps about his troubles a lot, Macklemore Raps mostly about his successes. The power of positive thinking can change your life. KNOW that you can create change, don't TRY for it... Like Nike says, JUST DO IT. Key word DO. "Be the change you want to see in the world"-Gandhi

[SteezMyStyle]

@makinghitsuckingtits

Don't compare macklemore with eminem, he's so much more.

[Logan0Guest]

This song reminds me there's always something to live for.

[jankypani]

this song saved my life...

[lynsloooo92]

macklemore has changed my life. what he raps about is real and he has lived it, and he is one of the few.

[DubstepCooke]

only 487, 346 views? wheres everyone elses?

[illusiionns]

I only replayed this song about 600 times.

[wolken746]

Macklemore isn't the artist it's the new genre.

[kimiggity]

What is the album called?

[BagonafStudios]

@kimiggity The Language of My World

[JETEYE35]

Im a young mc

I spit over this beat check it out on my channel

let me know if i fucked up the beat

or did something productive

dont hate i only rap for fun

dont forget to like/sub

[ipodgod708]

@JETEYE35 Actually not that bad just the other day i heard some other kid try to rap over the same beat but they were horrible. But yours is kinda productive, but dont get me wrong i dont think anyone will every rap over this beat better than macklemore

[WhoDaKid25]

Macklemore is the best and who ppl say that hes alright well his not HES A FUKING BOSS JUST LIKE THIS SONG!

[reubenspath]

biggie tupac and macklemore all legends of rap

[wolken746]

i don't understand how this doesn't have at least 1 million views

[lizbby24747]

"Freedom is acknowledging the mask you have on and possessing the strength to take it off." I just found Macklemore and this grabbed my heart. This song, for me, has shed light on some good quality hip hop left in the world. It was a very dim light before I found these amazing guys <3<3<3<3

[SuperODeLuXe]

proud to be the 2000 like!

[sicmic123]

New fan. But love what im learning. This shit is DOPE.

[bourque12]

Fuck this guy is awesome...!!

[izeekimooo]

PSHHH Macklemore doesn't need 720p.

[faydzHD]

this by macklemore and wings by macklemore are the sickest songs ever

[MVPATLIFE1]

14 ppl dont have their head up

[Bmp1113]

Ya he reminds me of two of my favorite rappers/groups  greives and atmosphere. Ill be adding him to my collection

[TMLsince1994]

Loooovveeee Macklemore, this songs a beauty <3

[cryan22465]

macklemore is one of a kind, his songs have a plot; a storyline. other people just say words that rhyme and kind of make sense and call it rap/poetry

[MH95Sensei]

Real Hip Hop

[alexco39]

all you need are you best friends to talk to, that's the best, healthiest, natural way to overcome your worries and hardships

no need for stupid meds or perscription

[james885566]

Mac Miller: i was sent by god to play music

Macklemore: i didn't send anyone



[ky13and3r50n]

@james885566 so true

[TheRyanMclaughlin]

@james885566 God didn't send Mac Miller to make music, hes working towards money and publicity. In all honesty I think god send Macklemore to give us the bigger picture. I understand your comment, and it's funny, but you have to be real every moment in your life. Do you really think Macklemore is God? Obviously not, just trying to let you know to always, no matter the situation be true to how you really feel.

[m4lcm]

@james885566

I just saw the second line and i thought you´re right

[iLoveWaffles209]

Ive just started listening to this artist and he reminds me alot of Atmosphere's kind of wordplay and flow but with a bob marley kind of postive vibe, but every artist has his own style and im glad to go and add an album of his to my sd card(: truly amazing songs im hearing.

[OnlyN33DBlade]

Great now i have to go through the comments to find this WhySooSerious0 guys comment...

[kadend96]

@OnlyN33DBlade go to "see all comments" press control f and type in WhySooSerious0 :)

[DylanMargelony]

Macklemore proved to me there's a reason to be alive

[JadenJSO]

peepee

[AyeThatsMean]

im 16 years old iv had shit happen to me know one should eva have to go through, iv lost most of my child hood to look after the people who r closes to me. i smoke to release stress people dont under stand and judge me but when i listen to macklemore all the pain and stress just goes away

[GreenKidGreenKid]

this beat is too sick

[MitchKillerBitch]

@GreenKidGreenKid its magic

[MitchKillerBitch]

thumbs up if you hate it when ppl say thumbs up...

[KoNMaD1]

@MitchKillerBitch wtf? :D

[SatisFiedtv]

if this was my wife, id listen to her

[Richie3732]

this guy is a Legend ! :D

[Theanorexicpenguin]

Omg SxE listens to macklemore???!! :o

[penguinfromtheholy]

@Theanorexicpenguin Who doesn't?? :D

[ThesXeB34ST]

All these kids sitting here talking about weed in the comments of a Macklemore video and defending their actions? Just so you know, Macklemore agrees with many like-minded folk and doesn't endorse with recreational marijuana usage. If you're going to use a song as a platform to placate your lifestyle, at least know about the artist before you plague their videos with ass-backwards banter.

[CJPM1733]

@ThesXeB34ST yeah he does he jsut believes you have to find a balance between blazing everyday and being sober he preaches moderation not abstinence

[LaDyReMeMbErAnCe]

If anyone needs help or advice don't hesitate to email me at niyahgon@hotmail.com with your name city and problem. I am here for you, no matter what the situation is! I am here for you, and even if you have no one, just know someone in the world cares.

[tomlaxer]

Guys i am having a rough time with life and nothing can really pull me out of this depression, if someone has any advice of how to get through life i would love to hear it, just someone please help

[fcraigable]

@tomlaxer weed did the trick for me plus music, best combination. yeah but seriously set goals what do you want out of life? set your goals then complete them

[tomlaxer]

@fcraigable Does weed really help that much? and thanks, it means alot that someone is trying to help me, stay strong bro

[penguinfromtheholy]

@tomlaxer It can, but good friends and loved ones helpp A LOT more, trust me

[breathxracing13]

@tomlaxer honestly i'm at one of the darkest points in my life right now. and i can say that weed, macklemore on shuffle, and reading the bible helped me a lot. im not super religious but its really positive and inspiring when you dont know where else to turn. but yeah weed has helped me so much. been smoking for like 4 years now and every time it takes the edge off and doesnt get old. i'm here if you need anything. hold your head up :)

[wbwgr]

@breathxracing13

If you're really that down, look into anti-depressants. Makes a huge difference and you're probably self medicating with the weed. Granted, I still smoke a ton of weed even though I'm on anti-depressants, but they help quite a bit during my sober life

[breathxracing13]

@wbwgr i would never take anti-depressants. too many negative side effects and it changes personalities. that's too unnatural for me.

[LaodMoutH]

@tomlaxer music. music. music.

find what you love, live what you love, master your art.

[tomlaxer]

@LaodMoutH Thanks man, i will definitely try to do that

[AePhotography100]

@tomlaxer I will pray for you. Jesus is the way that I turn up in life... every time. He loves me unconditionally and is there for me to talk to whenever I need him. He loves you too. (:

[tomlaxer]

@AePhotography100 Thanks, it does mean a lot that atleast some people care about me, im trying to make life as happy as possible but its hard, i will try as hard as i can but thank you very much

[xaxjx88]

@AePhotography100

Yeah my invisible flying elephant talks to me too. Cheers.

[MODESTxIDI0T]

Thumbs up if you think that supporting Macklemore in the 2012 XXL Freshman class is NOT SPAM!

[IWhoCreate]

When this album came out i really thought people would catch on eventually. Great music is overlooked too often.

[s2nd3r]

came here my self, no need for some fukin' rowmodels to find good music.

[ItzNemooo]

@s2nd3r <3 So true,

[randyhandzor]

macklemores music is jus too amazing

[guillon8]

[DzonySlimShady]

[wje357]

@TheHighBeEpik its his step-cousin, XP. i saw macklemore in concert, and he usually takes him on tour with him

[ghaun123456]

damn such a poet ha but a beast :)

[RhythmAndPoetry6]

Hip hop isn't dead, it was buried alive and that's why it's called underground.

[northwestblazinfire]

@RhythmAndPoetry6 Hiphop aint dead!!! Its just hiding in seattle!!!

[kolbysilvatv]

420 thumbs up

[MilHipHopMusic]

Just saw Macklemore in Chicago and one of his opening acts was "Xperience". Not sure how many of you guys are familiar with him, but he's pretty damn good. He is the one who does the "Hold ya Head Up" part on this track. Go check his stuff out - x2dap.com

[tomlaxer]

screw the girls that have hurt me, screw everything that is holding me back and keeping me from who i truly am, this song makes me realize that life isnt always shitty, and cuz of macklemore i have found who i am! spread thing song throuhout the world!!!!1

[zo0m14]

Thanks Macklemore, my fiance just left me..

[PWDforlifebrah]

@zo0m14 Sucks, keep your head up man, greater things are meant for you.

[TheKiidProductions]

why hasn't this guy blown up? he's good as fuck, and actually real unlike soooo many other rappers.

[kachekieran]

@TheKiidProductions i think u just answered ur own question....originality isnt appreciated these days unless by "original" u mean dressing up as a piece of meat at the mtv awards...

[vicerexcising54]

@TheKiidProductions

listen to Hopsin- Nocturnal Rainbows he explains your thoughts exactly.

[RhythmAndPoetry6]

@TheKiidProductions He's too good to be mainstream.

[rolenmyway]

[EpicLucas]

ThesXeB34ST brought me here!

[WhySooSerious0]

@EpicLucas dude who gives a shit?

[ThesXeB34ST]

@WhySooSerious0 Him apparently. No need to be a douche.

[WhySooSerious0]

@ThesXeB34ST just cuz he came cuz of you, dont need to lick his balls

[ThesXeB34ST]

@WhySooSerious0 Don't try and be an asshole online while you are too lazy to hit a few extra keys to properly spell the word "because." Also, your grammatical skills; or lack there of, are petty. Get a new hobby broskie, you're not good at trolling comments.

[WhySooSerious0]

@ThesXeB34ST LOL pal its called slang,

[ThesXeB34ST]

@WhySooSerious0 LOL pal, it's called poor education and laziness.

[hockeyboy495]

@ThesXeB34ST hahahahahahahahaha

[LegGanders]

@ThesXeB34ST The semicolon, also known as ";" is used to connect two closely related complete sentences. The construct "Also, your grammatical skills; or lack thereof, are petty." is incorrect. I'd suggest making it all one sentence, then connecting some insulting simile or metaphor. For example "Also, your grammatical skills, or lack thereof, are petty; your spelling is worse than waking up after drunk sex to find yourself in bed with a guy."

Good day to your sir.

[ThesXeB34ST]

This is my drug of choice.

[EpicLucas]

@ThesXeB34ST Mad respect for you man.

[royalkakler]

@ThesXeB34ST cheers for the song sxe ;)

[playahatincrew]

Love music like this. Hip-Hop is the best music there is.
