      I disagree. How many people from the “culture” have used their moment in the
      spotlight to share and give shine pioneers of the game? Shout out to Grand
      Master Caz, Melle Mel and
      Kool Moe Dee

      They don’t KNOW where HIP HOP “STARTED” from! It’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between HIP HOP and RAP MUSIC! This is PURE HIP HOP no CUT!

    95% of the retarded kids who watch the VMAs have no idea who these people are. They just want to know who the old black dudes with Macklemore are.

  5. el jim chapo guzman says:

    MTV should be boycotted for having these idiots on

  6. heez says:

    Macklemore cheating putting the legends in the song as props basically covers him from criticism of the song being wack and offers a built in shield of “who else is put on the legends” defense while it’s great to see them there they offer 0 to the song this is “I have black friends” in audio form

    1. Guest says:

      Completely agree! This kid is the epitome of CORNBALL to the point that I want to punch every single camera man and behind the scenes personnel that gave this a green light!!!! Shit is the biggest form of wackiness!!! Just when you thought Vanilla Ice set the standard for fuckery this clown shows up!?!??!

          2. heez says:

            Im sure that sounded allot better on your mind Im sure as a member of the macklemore fan club your obligated to defend him but be honest this isn’t a good song

          3. Belize says:

            Actually don’t like his music but if u look at this video and say it ain’t hip-hop ur just a hater bro.

  7. diggz says:

    How can people legit hate on this song? Fuckin straight haters. It has legends in the song , and the performance was sick. Howmany times young thug have a old school hip hop? This culture vulture is laphing all the way to the BANK!

  8. drewsmit24 says:

    This just like drakes back 2 back performance a lot jumpin around…but you aint sayin shit.

    Black furniture smh

  9. Chronic says:

    While I agree it’s cool he brought in legends….he couldn’t have honored them by putting them on a track that has to do with something other than fuckin mopeds??

  10. M.A.T. says:

    While I like the beat and the chorus, and I like that he has legends on it, I’m still torn when I listen to this. I want to like it, but then I hear him rapping about mopeds and can’t help but feel like they’re just trying to make another Thrift Shop. I almost feel like he’s saying hey, the song is a hit and I can literally just rap about anything and it doesn’t matter. Also at this point, I think it’s safe to say that Macklemore is a pop star. Adding hip hop legends doesn’t make him any more hip hop or less pop.

  11. Tom Mao says:

    Macklemore needing to cite rap legends attempts to show his music in the context of hip hop greats, but having only made commercial songs such as thrift shop, he doesn’t embody any of the struggles that rap is about. The only struggles Macklemore has had were being a drug addict and that’s why most of his songs are about making music- because had no other content.

  12. Tom Mao says:

    MACKLEMORE IS GARBAGE

  13. Belize says:

    that white boi with the handle bar mustache killin the game like Pat Ewing’s flattop son!

  14. Hussle says:

  15. Soup Weezy..... says:
