I’m still positively surprised by the Thrift Shop guy supporting Palestine. Though, Thrift Shop was ahead of its time too, with its promotion of the circular economy.
It is the year 2030 and you’re at your local thrift store — the only place you can legally buy clothes after Gen. Sec. Macklemore’s harsh crackdowns on fast fashion after the Revolution.
After a while of looking, you eye a stylish t-shirt.
As you’re taking it off the hanger to try it on, you notice it has a tag on it:
RECYCLED FROM A SETTLER FLAG DEPOSITED IN FREE PALESTINE
Life is good.
You then see the price tag and ask yourself why an H&M shirt costs more in a thrift shop than it does at H&M. You curse Macklemore as they drag you away
Some rich hipsters got a hold of a short bus and tore out the seats and crap to make a ‘mobile thrift store’ where they find some place in town to set up shop for the day and charge triple for what they went to a normal thrift store and bought. So now you can’t find anything good at a thrift store cause these fucks are re-selling it all
Dude what. I never knew Macklemore was this cool?!
I think he’s been pretty pro Palestinian for years. And he made a song, Hind’s Hall that went pretty viral on tiktok.
To be clear, he isn’t the only artist to make music about this.
The linked tweet includes a video of Macklemore live performing Hind’s Hall, with some updated lyrics (for example, speaking to Kamala). The replies are people saying “I agree with all of the lyrics”
I’m actually at a point of having to question if Macklemore’s going to end up being this generation’s Eminem, like-- the one mainstream white dude who actually gets a plate at the rap game’s cookout. (Yeah, I know there’s like two or three other actually-based white rappers; but do you rly think your average zoomer or gen-alpha knows who RA the Rugged Man, El-P, or Aesop Rock are?)
Mate, No, not even close. Nevermind that hip hop already seems to be in a death spiral, Macklemore is not and will not ever be close to Eminem in popularity. He’s probably not even the most visible contemporary white rapper
Nevermind that hip hop already seems to be in a death spiral,
I’m not so sure ‘death spiral’ is the right term. I’m not gonna bullshit it’s grim, but there’s a good handful of emcees who seem more interested in resetting the board than just smackin it off the table. (Mostly aligned with TDE and pgLang.)
Macklemore is not and will not ever be close to Eminem in popularity.
Right now. But Em is old, and never mind the fact that Death of Slim Shady actually seems to be Em back on his pins-- he can’t keep it up forever. There’ll be another, and I don’t think El-P or Aes are that visible either. God knows RA ain’t.
Typical of a Zionist to ignore the Palestinian voices that make up the majority of the song
i love the zionist smears where they’re like “if you take all this guy’s criticisms of israel and change them to be criticisms of jews, he starts to sound really antisemitic! plus he hates israel, so what does that tell you about antizionism?”
