    More mockery of rap. Dudes is wiggidy wack.

  2. all things real says:

    I’m digging the flow.

  3. Real Talk says:

    @JustMyOpinion sonnn you bout to make B.Dot mad.. Haven’t you seen how he promotes him?

    But on the real dude is far from wack. His delivery is nice and his bars weren’t bad neither but people will always hate right?

  4. kpamma says:

    here comes a seattle post from evan in 3, 2, 1..

  5. Underground King of rap says:

    His flow is ok, delivery is waaak as fuck. Hes sanitation garbaaage. and for that coat he should be strangled fashion statement, publicity stunt or not get the fuck outta here u herb!

  6. Anti-Lolipop Kid says:

    Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceee (Fab voice).

  7. preway says:

    I don’t think it is good or wack. Just another rapper to me. Respect for the success

  8. Evan says:

    @kpamma

    Represent! but seriously, this is just okay, im not crazy about it.

    Macklemore is much more interesting on a Ryan Lewis beat, that’s the whole flavor.

  9. EL OH EL says:

    “Been dope since Baby was KISSING Wayne on RapCity’s The Basement”

  10. brollya says:

    naw he aint wack but dat coat gotta go…. i guess dis how rap is now… u gotta wear some outrageous shit to get noticed….. dude look lik the lion from the wiz

  11. JustMyOpinion says:

    @ Real Talk I just listened to him. But, I can’t stand the mockery of rap. We already have 2 Chainz, Future, French Montanta and Waka Flocka. Do we need another? SMH

  12. O.E.M says:

    Watch Macklemore – Thift shop video and the coat will all make sense

  13. Cz says:

    ^ he raps better then everyone you just mentioned. And his actual songs have a meaning to them, not just talking about his money and bitches

  14. Real Talk says:

    @JustMyOpinion I feel you in not needing another but ol’ white dude is far better than all the above mentioned rappers as far as lyrical ability goes imo.

  15. Evan says:

    @justmyopinion

    Macklemore is nothing like any of those rappers, like at all. Mack is hipster, not gangster rap.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp_lW7yYgiM educate yourself, the man’s got nothing but respect for hip hop.

  16. @gtfomike says:

    Macklemore is straight, there’s a lot better rappers out that deserve the shine a lot more though

  17. @gtfomike says:

    Funny how Macklemore gets so much love on blogs ever since the XXL cover.
    Then El-P drops a AOTY contender and everybody acts like it didn’t happen.
    #fuckpolitics

  18. King says:

    @gtfomike that would make sense seeing how the XXL cover was for newcomers, most without an album. El-p been making music since the 90s.

    Sanitation garbage? Name someone creating their own lane, maintaining what makes them different, and rapping with a message? You got rappers like all of the ones named above, awful shit like Cheef Keif and something refreshing comes along…open your eyes ( and your ears).

  19. gtouthere says:

    This kid cool, I seen he did a song bout the Mariners that made it to ESPN, the video was cool too even tho I dont know nothin bout seattle. He seems like a real dude unlike the MGK kid.

  20. DJ Semtex's Prothsetic says:

    like the male version of lady gaga

  21. bobo dan says:

    He is pretty dope i fucks wit em. but he will get the wayne treatment, he dresses funny so he is wack…..

  22. CabriniGreeny says:

    “Looking like a hip-hop Sabretooth” LOL!!!

  23. dll32 says:

    makes me wanna punch him…

  24. WTF Is Lil Wayne Wearing says:

    Watch Yeezy sign this kid or Asher Roth

  25. mac DIESEL says:

    …………B.DOT AND HIS MATT LIFE/SCHOTT FREE A&R STARTER KIT!!!! HA!!!! SMH!!!!!

  26. hiphoperative says:

    Dude is mad original. I like his flow.

  27. get it right says:

    the coat looks like kraven the hunter from the 90s spider man cartoons. i thought it was going to be lame, but he does his thing.

  28. matrix says:

    Lol @ Kraven the Hunter Lol…Jea this dude is ight but niggz gonna hate anything different…just cuz the dude raps different looks different from wat you like…smh and hiphop fans…

  29. The Real Evan says:

    Yo @kpamma keep my name from coming up out yo jaw! Everybody on this site try to use my name to get some fame! Mack sounds like every other underground white rapper with that flow coming up out his jaw!

  30. calamitycal says:

    I dont like that silly rap, like animated lyrics. Plus I dont condone any rapper that call their written raps freestyle.

  31. Cz says:

    90% of “freestyles” you hear on the radio are writtens

    1. calamitycal says:

      I know and that shit’s lame. Instead, they should jest be like, “So and so’s going to spit some bars”. not say he’sfreestyling when he isnt.
