I don’t like his music, but at least he’s trying to do something that’s worth doing.
I have been a staunch defender for years. He is the epitome of what people used to wishlist for their hiphop. In the culture. Self starter. Discussing actual issues. Pushing his producer up front. Independent.
His music isn’t very everyone for sure but he has some great radio hits and some really good introspective stuff, the back half of the heist is brilliant and the follow up was very self aware.
On the right side of history
Music that’s for everyone is music for no-one.
Didn’t he co.e out on stage dressed as a Jewish stereotype? Not disagreeing with h bow but he is not a good guy.
For which he immediately apologised, updated his website to include links to organisations that fight anti semitism and explained himself as best he could while not excusing it. He went on to say he only wanted respect put out into the world and mever meant for the three elements of the costume to do anything other than disguise him for a secret surprise show.
Quite interesting. I mean it depends on if you want to beleive him, but he says he just dressed up weird, not intending to be a stereotype. Here are some tweets and pictures regarding the performance, so that y’all can form your own opinion
At least he apologized and gives shoutouts to Jews of conscience in his songs. So forgive me for not crucifying him.
I don’t know any of his songs, so I’m surprised he’s so popular. But it’s terrific that he’s using that popularity for a good cause
If you know anything, it’s probably Thrift Shop.
Can’t Hold Us was everywhere for a while too, and he was (unfairly) mocked for Same Love. The dude comes across as corny sometimes but he genuinely stands on business. Hind’s Hall from May 2024 and fucked up in February 2025 are loud and angry and righteous.
It’s a great tune
Man… Ed Sheeran and crew certainly showed him, lol
robert kraft, the zionist epstein associate blacklisted him.
Even Ed Sheeran’s own band and crew pulled out of his tour, lol
I took ever Ed Sheeran song I had off my Tidal. I hope he realizes he fucked up. Not that my actions will be noticed. But I think people don’t realize the right wing propaganda machine is skewing perceptions right now. There’s a fuck ton of us that aren’t cool with what’s going on.
I meant the stadium owners and tour organizers

Y’all really showed the Kraft guy that you wouldn’t go after him.
I’m just glad getting shit on and removed from the tour for bullshit didn’t negatively affect Macklemore at all. In fact it probably had a net positive effect.
Fuck both Kraft and Ed for being shit people. I’d be willing to bet you’re oddly insulting “Y’all” because you’re a Sheeran fan (ugh), or a zionist (dude, wtf?), or both (just go back under your rock)
ELI5 how the average person can go after Robert Kraft in any meaningful way
Pretty much just avoiding his stadiums and sports teams. You don’t have much control over avoiding his B2B stuff as a consumer. His companies do make a bunch of packaging material, mostly wood-based (paper, cardboard)
Set up a massage parlor / sting operation near his home and just wait
Don’t mind space cowboy, he’s a progressive in most things except Palestine. Probably a liberal Zionist because he’s pretty negative towards the plight of Palestinians
Boycott.
But you don’t even want to change which brand of Mac & Cheese you buy, it would inconvenience you too much. The point of your movement is to do performative to gain social media clout, not to do anything that would inconvenience yourselves in any way.
And yes Kraft is big, maybe boycotting them won’t have much of an effect. But bullying someone smaller like a B-list musical artist also won’t have a big effect in terms of society, but it will have a big effect on that particular musical artist.
This whole thing proves that you’re movement is weak, you know you’re weak, and you engage in bullying solely to try to convince yourselves that you are strong. You’re too weak to try to take on someone big like Robert Kraft (the real source of this particular controversy), so you don’t even try.
You’re Karens shouting at the cashier instead of just taking your business elsewhere. The point is to make a scene and bully people, not to do anything real (that’s too much effort!) that will actually make any kind of a difference.
Holy shit. Delete this stupid ass comment.
🤡
Kraft’s businesses mostly make cardboard, paper and wood products, largely packaging material and such. What does Mac & Cheese, a home-cooked meal, have to do with it?
They’re assuming since his last name is Kraft he must be involved in Kraft foods.
…You know he has nothing to do with Kraft Mac, right?
confidently wrong
Boycott.
Which business off of which Robert Kraft actually makes money would you recommend the average person boycott?
But you
You know nothing about me
don’t even want to change which brand of Mac & Cheese you buy
Robert Kraft has nothing to do with Kraft Mac & Cheese, which I don’t buy either.
Your entire comment hinges off assumptions that you are making about a complete stranger, and off of the assumption that Robert Kraft has anything to do with Kraft Heinz.
You are judging strangers based on your own misinformed perspective. But do go on, by all means.
That guy just tilted at the funniest windmill I’ve ever seen
Whole bloody thread is incomprehensible
Chalk it up to either schizophrenia or the basic inadequacy of human intelligence
Well done, dude

he looks soo corny ugh
That’s just how all white people look in their mid 40s.
He’s Cascadian Fred Durst.
Fred Durst is an asshole and genuine moron.
Yeah, he’s from Florida…
Jacksonville even.
I want to go back to when the only thing I knew about Jacksonville was it the home of WJAX which was a really good Beautiful Music station circa 20 years ago - it’s now WKTZ a ‘Christian Family Radio’ station (hate speech and anti-lgbt under the guise of ‘family programming’ I assume)
Everything else I’ve ever heard about that place - jfc.
You’re right, he does. And I don’t mean to take anything away from his music or message, but he looks absolutely ridiculous.
Lots of people making a big bag off the Gaza Grift
Yes they do and they are called Zionists.
It’s really sad to see the infection of not reading has spilled over to Lemmy. Maybe Meta or TikTok are more your speed?
The three concerts were organised as benefit events, with all funds going to 12 Palestinian supporting organisations, including Medical Aid for Palestinians, Jewish Voice for Peace, Palestinian Youth Movement, Institute for Middle East Understanding and Glia.
Nonsense. Macklemore lost money for supporting Palestine.
Yes bitnit is jot like he is a good person or does everyone forget he dressed up as a Jewish stereotype and went on stage? At this point I don’t believe any of them with opps I didn’t know.
I cannot fully parse your comment. Could you clarify what you are saying?
It must be really confusing for you, having all your friends and peers disagree with you on a political level. Do you think everyone hates you, or just your opinions? Does it make you sad?
My dude·tte, the benefits of the tour are going to Gaza.
