Macklemore Cancels Dubai Show in Protest of UAE’s Role in Sudan War
(web.archive.org)
Nice to see an artist with a spine
Mack le based
This is the weirdest goddam timeline
Good on him for being consistent.
More liek Marxlemore m i rite?!
Based on his comments, I honestly think he's getting there. The ongoing attack on Palestine are even radicalizing celebrities, it seems. Next we'll get Macklemore opening for Roger Waters.
you'd need to be a fucking soulless ghoul to ever consider playing dubai so like what
I'll give macklemore some credit. He's been taking feedback, reading, and applying it in practice this year
Well... a lot of big artists are soulless ghouls, so it's understandably a nice surprise when an artist shows some degree of moral character.
Plenty of artists play Dubai, play Tel Aviv, play Saudi. I appreciate the consistency
I was not prepared for Macklemore anti-imperialist arc
Put put a song called Hinds Hall about the college protests too, he's pretty good on foreign policy stuff in general and has been for a while, deff way left of your average lib.
You know what though? I'm here for it. We need more celebs saying fuck the empire.
check out Hind's Hall
