but then i realized i was having a good ass time with this song. the lyrics are funny, the video is too, its catchy, plus he repping seattle so i'm a little bias. he also got melle mel, kool moe dee, and gm caz up in the video. ken griffey jr too, haha.

oh, and that girl that gets off the bus right here is AMAZING: https://youtu.be/JGhoLcsr8GA?t=1m35s

oh and this part in the video had me cracking up:

"running around the whole town,
neighbors yelling at me like you need to slow down,
going 38 Dan chill the fuck out,
mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down."

He's made some strange decisions (the Grammy thing) and can be a little corny but for the most part I find him endearing and I like the lane he carved out for himself.

with the audio swapped for a peak nas/ghostface/prodigy collab over a super band made of the roots and funkadelic

and you'd have people in GD shitting on it.

Super corny song and video, only redeeming part is featuring hip hop pioneers in it. It feels like a Saturday Night Live skit. It feels like something old white people would do to make fun of rap music...

This is truly awful. The song was insulting enough but then that chorus took it to "make the bad men stop, mom" levels.

....it's not that bad. It's typical Macklemore. I preferred the singles from his last album.

"Downtown" is cool and the chorus is hilarious because it is so dramatic. Reminds me of Queen.

I don't think this single will be as big as his previous; not as clever and not as catchy. Curious to see if the white radio stations will pick this up because of the Queen-ish hook.
