Macklemore has always meant well. I remember when he won the Grammy for best rap album, he was apologizing because he knew he only got it because he was white. Kendrick Lamar was the very obvious choice. His music is pretty hit or miss, but he seems like an alright dude
This bit right here, his understanding of his place and what it improperly awarded him, is exactly why Macklemore is maybe one of five Amerikan whites I exempt from my lambasting of crackers and their works
Dolly Parton, Marshall Mathers, Lady Gaga, and John Darnielle.
All names here subject to disfellowship if they act up; I’ve only recently started coming around to the fact that maybe I was too hard on Marshall, and that he wasn’t the Elvis-assed snake I read him as for years.
Marshall Mathers kind of rubs me the wrong way just because he continued (don’t know if he still does) using homophobic slurs and references to misogynistic violence in his lyrics well into the period where that stuff had already become generally recognized as “not great”.
Not to say he didn’t put out a lot of bangers but he still seems like a pretty standard asshole in a lot of ways.

Dolly Parton is on my shitlist for the dixie stampede
…Why the hell does she run a restaurant chain now what the hell
Please tell me the only mark against Stevie Nicks was interpersonal ish with other members of Fleetwood Mac.
