The strange thing for me is: it's not like Macklemore has been silent about his views on the Gaza genocide until now. "Fucked up" is not a very subtle song and has been released over a year ago

But hey, it was 99 cents!

TBH I barely ever heard it before, and never knew who any of these people were or what they did. Apparently some of them are evil, nobody will shut to about it, and I still don't know why any of them mattered in the first place.

This is the oldest I've felt all day.

That's one crusty-ass gif

I have no clue who that is

And im pretty sure i have no reason to learn anything about whatever shitshow is going on

Walk up in the lemmyverse like, what up I got a big cock. Nah, I’m just pumped a celeb is calling out genocide.

I he on the fediverse now?

You know, I forgot he also did that Same Love song, so I'm not surprised after remembering that.

I was just reacquainting myself with some of his music, and I have to say, it’s good. It’s always been good: extremely well-produced, well-made, and empathetic.

But it has most certainly aged out of its time, and not particularly gracefully. The Heist, for example, is an immaculate representation of the early 2010s.

He’s adapted somewhat to this decade, but you can still feel the remnants of his heyday.

That being said, I fully stand with him and support the statements he made on stage.

Well you would be outraged to know about Ryan Lewis...

You know what? Can't Hold Us is a good song.

Not good enough to get me to give his other music a try, but still.

Clearly not a Seattleite.

Would be nice if they were around more. Just the other day I was listening to FDT pt 2

Went from Macklemore to mackleless

Living? Well that’s a capitalistic crime I’ve never been crucified before…

Or “slightly being okay without condemning everything I know to the death penalty?” “Well that’s a capitalist crime I didn’t know before…
