[T.C]

Compared to the wack ass shit that is slipping through the cracks, dude is dope.

This.

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

Just discovered that hes on the cover of Rolling Stone!! Now that's super major...

 

[Strizz]

been listening to Tha Town and The Otherside for about a year before he blew up.. But I don't like much of his music other than that

 

[deep6cixxx6]

dude gets props for the same love song.

 

[206jb]

Not a fan but just watched the "white walls" video and thought it was dope!

I thought it was OK. Not quite what I expected, but it was funny. Quirky as usual. I don't know how they're ever going to top the epicness of the "Can't Hold Us" video.

 

[28g w/o the bag]

he's alright

seems i've overlooked the fact that people on this forum have been talking about him for the past 5 years or so.

[Old_Wize_One]

I think he'll be here today gone tommorow. He just shot a Video on top of DICKs on Broadway. Honestly this Kat is trying waay too hard. That Gay song is his way of slowly coming out the Closet.. Soon you'll see Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean talking bout how "Same Love" Inspired them to come out of the Closet. lmao HIP HOP is a Big FAGGOT now.

 

[Mr. D-Sane]

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis both have girlfriends and Macklemore just got engaged. So no, he won't be coming out of the closet. They just revolutionized the music biz, sold 1 million albums, 13 million singles, made like $10 million this year alone and broke a bunch of Billboard chart records in the process. I GUARANTEE he ain't going nowhere. You can click your heels together 3x and keep hoping though! :classic:

How is that revolutionary though, revolutionary is change which it is not. Truth is the music industry and movie industry continue to see record profits. "Records" are always meant to be broken.

Ryan Lewis' girlfriend is pretty solid too haha

I don't know about revolutionizing the music business, but I agree the guys have been very successful. Most of the songs I wasn't digging, but a couple I have thought were pretty good. The white walls songs was cool.

Whether you like them or not, you gotta congratulate them for their success.

 

[Mixerr]

He's everywhere.

 

[Mr. D-Sane]

People...Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have changed the game. If you can't see it, then you haven't been watching or paying attention. They HIRED Warner Music Group to work for them. An indie artist hired a major label to work for them. If that's not changing the game, I don't know what is.

 

[NAMO]

Macklemore is the greatest rapper on earth, right next to riff raff and andy millionakis, macklemore is the new 2pac. Macklepac.

You right I wasn't watching or paying attention, didn't knw they did that. Not big on the music tho don't hate the hustle

Fair enough I would just say our definitions of "revolutionizing" are different. I think they way you described it above as "changing the game" is a much more appropriate way to describe it. Either way I am glad to see them making moves.

 

[Mr. D-Sane]

Yeah, perhaps a bad choice of words. You feel me though. They have been doing some different shit that's never been done before. They turned down numerous major label deals before all of this happened and took the gamble to do it by themselves. Very risky move that paid off big time. The truth is they couldn't have gotten this far without Warner Music Group though, because they are the key holders to the radio stations, but trust that they came out on the winning end of that deal. I know the specifics, but I can't speak on it.

 

[Kon1]

I don't really rock wit dude's movement, But I DEFINITELY respect his hustle and grind. And to come up so much from the NW, where we don't get AS MUCH exposure as other cities, I'd say he deserves everything he has gotten and everything he has coming.

@Mr. D-Sane

Any idea what you think the duo grossed on their world tour?
