"Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying
That rush, that drug, that dope
Those pills, that crumb, that roach
Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug
and growing up nobody ever does
Until your stuck, lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I've become
Swore I was goin' to be someone
And growing up everyone always does
We sell our dreams and our potential
To escape through that buzz"

"And weed's not a drug - that's denial"

From: Otherside

Unfortunately the top quote is a bit long, but I think its a really solid verse.

I don't control life, but I can control how I react to it
Student of the breath, brick beats and balancin'
Desire versus truth until I finally find happiness

Vipassana

So many great quotes.

All of his lyrics are soooo sick.

Vipassana
"Expectations are resentments waiting to happen"
"I dont control life, But i control how i react to it"



"Hip hop is rooted in authenticity, something you literally cant learn."

"I use my veins to create the color i paint from, delve into self until my heart becomes my paintbrush."

"The spirit’s there to knock you down But if you make that the end You’ll never know the beauty Of being able to stand up again"

awwww dude, your really missing out. They remixed the VS ep its so sick! i think its called the vs ep redux. Its hard to believe that toat album could get a whole lot better, but i think it might be a step above. i got it off of itunes instead of downloading it, so worth the 5 bucks, gotta support macklemore.


http://www.myspace.com/macklemore/music/albums/vs-redux-16890923

you should be able to listen to all the songs with that link, enjoy!

Macklemore's lyrics are more then just words, they bring you back. Most rappers/hip hop artists today sing about nothing. Justin bieber for say.

I can relate to 99% of his songs.

"freedom is acknowledging the mask you have on
and possessing the strength to take it off
freedom is accepting every step of the path
and when it's hard having faith in the ability to embrace that"

"my friend hip' me to some game and truth unravelled, she said
"the brighter the light, the darker the shadow"
and since i'm on cliche terms, knowing is half the battle"

Getting a macklemore tattoo soon (not like beezy) but those words put in that order mean a lot to me.

Well you being from washington you should know what its like to have a lot of great music come from your local area.

But I think you're taking so much pride in being different from everyone else. (everyone else LOVES MACKLEMORE OH MY GOD) You know what happend? You liked him, showed him to a couple friends and maybe saw him live. Then more and more people started to know about him. And once that happend you fit in with everyone else, which CANNOT HAPPEND. So now you talk shit about him.

I'm sorry, but please name 1 more current "rapper" with deeper roots/ better lyrics then Macklemore.

He calls himself TreeSeaSong. But you probably haven't heard of him, he is unsigned.

Macklemore is sick, I've seen him live a few times buttt when I saw him open for Zion I and the Grouch, he couldn't hold a candle to Zumbi or The Grouch, especially Zumbi. When they started freestyling with each other during the encore, Zumbi just took over, leaving Macklemore and The Grouch just nodding their heads in awe.

I could see that, but I try not to really put together freestyle with creating albums/songs. I think Macklemore puts some great words to paper. I don't always like all the beats and flow though. Still a big fan though.
