Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Debut Song At AMAs
No To Drugs.
Last night at the American Music Awards, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were joined by Leon Bridges to debut a song entitled, “Kevin”. The track revolves around drug addition and those damn pharmaceutical companies. Says Mack:
This one is personal… I started writing it when my friend Kevin passed from an overdose on prescription medication. It was my attempt to process his death. To grieve. And also to examine the over abundance of prescription drugs in America. How quick we’re taught at an early age to put a pharmaceutical bandaid over our pain/anxiety.
Not only is the topic close to home because of Kevin and others that I’ve lost to pills, it’s close to me because of my addiction. I’ve come very close to dying. I’m far from proud of that, but it’s my truth. I wish I could say I’m cured. That I have it all figured out. But that’s not the case. One day at a time I work to stay sober. There’s so much more to say. And hopefully a bigger conversation to be had. But I didn’t want to share this song without giving some context. I think of Kevin. I miss him. I hope he’s somewhere listening to this… I hope he got to watch our performance last night. I hope he’d be proud.
I just can’t… I tried to listen to this with an open mind but truly this guy just does not seem genuine to me.
The song itself isn’t bad its better than that last single but sounds similar to Glory
YEAH HE LIED ABOUT HIS FRIEND DYING. HES A VULTURE NOW FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ADDICTED TO PRESCRIPTION PILLS! ARE YOU THAT FUCKIN DUMB?
After him beating King Kendrick for best rap album Mack is trying his hardest to fit in black culture by doing these type of records, he need to stop no hip hop nerd or purist will take him seriously
His name is Kendrick Lamar. Fuck you calling another grown man king for?
PFFT you fuckin idiot get out of here. HE BEAT HIM! GO CRY ABOUT IT! HE HAD A BETTER YEAR DEAL WITH IT. HE WILL HAVE A BETTER YEAR THEN MOST OF YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS. THIS SONG IS DOPE. KENDRICK IS NO FUCKIN KING

#SUCKYOURMOM
All these Mac diesel knockoffs need to stop .here’s another one smh ^ clown!
Lol this is Mac diesel’s second son. he’s out in the comment sections giving birth to ni99as lol
Another hit song for the radio.
Yup watch out. Love the haters though.
i don’t fuck with them though.
I appreciate him getting at this system and bussin’ a few caps at Big Pharma. Far better than these idiot rappers who glorify pill popping.
And you just know that’s something white Amerikkka can relate to, because they sure love to pop their pills.
The vocalist was excellent.
If you are saying Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are not gay, you are simply spreading lies.
you’re a fuckin moron. this is quality music. You said that fucking guy who shot up lil waynes tour bus writes Prolific Music. Stay off THE FUCKIN CRACK MAN! Jesus. You like young thug but not this song?
This is ass. bro. Dude ain’t even have a song named Kevin. It is all a lie. Check schoolboy q’s songs about prescription drugs on his sophomore lp. at least he is talking from experience. this shit is worse than logic
dude didn’t have a song named kevin? what the fuk does that mean. Maks friend died of an overdose, and he also dealt with prescription drugs. you keep sitting in your basement while these guys “culture vulture” and make more money then you’ll ever see.
I said FREDDIE GIBBS aka GANGSTA GIBBS writes prolific music…
This cracker so wack.
Lyrics are commendable on paper.but that joint was boring and over thought out.he better stick to catchy choruses
motherfuckers be hating this and calling it fake and then go out and suck some rozay dick, get your shit together
