Title: Mackelmore The Best Thing To Happen To West Coast Hip Hop Since 2pac?
Post by: Mistah Wilson on September 20, 2013, 01:54:05 PM
Yes. Tis' true. Seattle rapper Macklemore (& Ryan Lewis of course lol) are the best thing to happen to West Coast Hip Hop since 2pac Shakur.

Why:
He went #1 on iTunes whilst being independent.

Hit #2 on the Top 200 Billboard charts whilst being independent.

Performed in front of the Seattle Mariners crowd of 50+k people in remembrance of a well-known former commentator, whilst being independent

"The Heist" is the realest album released by a mainstream west coast rapper this year. Musically, lyrically, and conceptually.

Doesn't imitate others. He is himself and portrays just that.

Didn't sell out to get it. Even made a complimentary track on behalf of Jimmy Iovine


Now, before we go crazy about this bold statement, lets be rational about it. And remember, Seattle is West Coast, too muh fuckaz lol and they represent the whole scene very well...

Never been a big fan, and gets way overplayed living out here. Regardless, he's been doing his thing in independently and been very successful. Real good dude too, can't hate on the guy.

This is what I hate in hip-hop these days.  That you have to "respect" someone on account of their "success".  That's the problem these days and that's why Jay-Z gets so much love because everyone "respects" him for how much money and success he's made.

This is art, is it not?  Are we not fans of the art?  If he is the CEO and a business major then I will respect him for his success as a business man.  But if you are a mutherfucking rap artist and your making shit that I don't feel then why do I have to respect you because of your "hustle".  This concept has fucked up hip-hop.

I swear, I listen to so many dumb ass niccaz around Kansas City sit around and argue over which rappers make the most money.  They see a rapper on TV and the first thing they talk about is who has the most money.

yeah i agree infinite.

I mean, u dont have to hate the person, but who really cares about this guy's "success".  doesnt put money in my pocket.  and it damn sure doesnt mean good music.

the jay z example is perfect.

It's circumstantial. The fact that he's been doing his thing independently while rapping with a positive message and still made it to the top is admirable and is obviously far from common in hip hop. He's also a really humble and down to earth dude who is constantly reaching out to his fans. It's a completely different situation from a guy like Jay, so I think you're pretty far off-base making that comparison.

Can we just stop with the Tupac comparisons?  It's just ultra cliché at this point.  It doesn't generate interesting conversation.  It's just dusting off the same boring hyperbole whenever someone out West gets a little buzz going.

Agreed. This " I respect his hustle/movement" logic is the same bullshit I remember hearin from people to defend when Soulja Boy came out w/ his bullshit music. It completely undermines the integrity of hip hop. This Macklemore guy is even worse, because nowadays when gay rights is such a touchy issue you come out against it youre gonna get backlash. You support it n you get painted as some kind of progressive revolutionary. So even if you an average or below average rapper, you come out support them batty boys and you immediately got the whole LGBT community behind you. Meanwhile, You can come out with all the skill in the world. Make a song sayin you hate gays or not w/ that, watch youre career stall n flop. Thats whats wrong now.

Depends, did 2Pac ever do anything great for the west coast hip hop scene? If so what was it and how big was the impact? Can it still be considered great after all these years and by today's standards?

Until I know the answer to those questions I'll just say that I lump Macklemore together with Tyga and Kendrick Lamar as the only rappers from the west coast who've actually been successful in the mainstream hip hop scene, in recent memory, and that I wish his career the best even though I'm not a fan of his music (it's not terrible but not great either IMO).

BTW, Lil B The Based God is the best thing to happen to the west coast hip hop scene since N.W.A.

It seems you didn't understand me. I know of what regions the "West Coast" consist of, you don't have to tell me about it. I wanted to point out, that just because Macklemore is from Seattle, you can't name him a "West Coast artist". How is he affiliated in any way with the whole Cali scene? Does he rep the West in his records? No.

And just to make it clear - I don't demand from him to be a "Gangsta Rapper", making "G-Funk" records left and right spitting about Bloods & Crips. But someone please tell me, is Macklemore a part of the so-called "West Coast scene" in any sort of way? Because I don't think so.

being part of the "west coast scene" means ur an artist from the west coast, and considering seattle is on the west coast, yes, he is a part of the west coast scene LOL. u dont have to be affiliated with the CALI scene to be a WEST COAST artist, cuz the west coast extends beyond cali...tyga is a west coast artist too, and he reps his hood (818) and is active on the west coast scene about as much as mackelmore...it's the new school. fuck em.

I don't think you have to be affiliated with the LA or Bay Area hip hop scene to be a west coast hip hop artist. Plus I'm sure there are a handful of guys, even those from Cali, who never represent what coast they're from.
Plus where else would Macklemore be considered a part of? East Coast? No. Mid-West? No. Down South? No.

The way I see it if you're a rapper from California, Washington, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii (I might be missing a state or two) you're part of the west coast hip hop scene.

Not necessarily, but tracks like "Wing$" and "Jimmy Iovine" are pretty much the definition of consciousness.

And it's funny how you, despite thinking of yourself as a conscious and open-minded person, still have nothing but baseless hate to offer.

No disrespect and i dont know dudes race or music, but these comments are funny.

So, I think its funny how some, jewish entertainers will stay away from admitting that they are jewish until 10 years later, then all of a sudden its jew this, jew that....etc.

The same goes for gay's, male or female, they hide or hint at being gay for years, and years.... then all of a sudden, they come out ! Then they use that newly found status as a crutch to get interviews, photoshoots, MOVIES, books....etc...

But, all of a sudden this person you followed all these years wants you to change and be sensitive to there new transformation status.
Then they expect you to just roll over and except them even after all these years they hid it, thats just wrong !

From what i read, he might be the female version of GaGa......lol 8)

I would consider him West Coast.  North West Like one of the Alkoholiks said in that DJ Quik clip in Visualism.  I consider Arizona West.  Why does West Coast have to belong JUST to CALI.  Expand your horizons playas.  As far as BEST thing since tupac, I disagree.  I like some of his music.  I don't hate on the guys music, I'm too old to hate on shit.  I listen to it, and If I don't like.....onto the next one.

I already said he wasn't that good. Not really defending him, more so defending the fact he's pretty much the face of the West Coast with his success.

Also to catch a reaction from the nostalgic niggas who get all aggravated because he's the biggest name on the Coast and doesn't rap over a G-Funk beat and spit about palm trees and 40s.

I never gave dude's album a listen and his music isn't really my cup of tea but I can respect what he's doing... I'll take him over dudes like Lil B, Tyga, YG, etc. which are all not only horrible representations of the West Coast but hip-hop as a whole

I actually didn't listen to his album either lol. I just know his three singles have created more buzz than the entire West combined since Pac's assassination.

With the exception of Kendrick...who finds a way to get hated on here too.

West coast hip hop, well that's another story. One name that comes to mind is the hottest export out of Compton since N.W.A, Tyga! Kendrick Lamar and Tyler The Creator are in the mix too (I guess).

Just cause Macklemore lives in Seattle, dosen't mean he's a "West Coast artist" or even affiliated with the Cali scene in some way ::)

Dude got few nice cuts here and there, but I don't see nothing special in dude, so I don't know where all the hype came from, but it seems to be typical these days...

LOL THE WEST COAST IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO CALI BROBRO...PORTLAND AND SEATTLE ALSO FALL UNDER WEST COAST, AND EVEN NEW MEXICO, COLORADO, UTAH, ARIZONA, + NEVADA CLASSIFIES AS WEST.
portland maybe, seattle is definitely northwest. thats way up there, im sure most people from there would tell you the same. colorado and utah could kinda be considered west coast because they dont really fall into any other categories but new mexico and az are southwest which is way different

artists from the 206 are usually considered westcoast, and for a reason. artists don't have to be gangsta rap affiliated to be categorized "west coast". but that's a trivial point in my opinion, i couldn't care less where an artist is from or belongs to as long as he's dope. (unlike some here who have said 50 Cent's In Da Club should have been a west coast song lolol)

I never really listened to macklemore's music but his two hit songs are catchy as fuck and I sure don't mind them.

northwest and southwest is still west....but seattle is on the coast, so they're technically north-west coast. colorado and utah are west, but they aint on the coast.

If you want to take credit for sounding like an illiterate...that's cool.

There isn't really an argument. Pac died in '96 and you named me one artist in seventeen years since that had more (for now) success than Macklemore. Math goes internationally, so even your struggling sentence structure ass can understand that's a pretty shitty ratio.

YOU actually changed the argument to my knowledge of coast artists...which you know nothing about based off of this topic because this is about MAINSTREAM artists that everybody knows. Game slipped my mind because Pac is almost more relevant than him I'm 2013...but yes, again you're right...Game had more success during his first two albums.

MAcklemore can sell billions of records couldnt care less I only listen music which i like not because it is popular like urself and u kinda right Tupac is more relevant in 2013  than Macklemore ever will be

i gave u name so yes i do have more knowledge than u and it was u coming with that idiotic argument (in almost every thread in west section u post)
and no, this topic is about AN ARTIST who is doing weak music for hipsters and some1 trying to claim he has the best thing since Pac  ::)
so yeah ur knowledge is limited what is popular and has buzz nothing else (u were claiming that Kendrick drop best album on west last year - and u proly bumped like 3 albums from west), otherwise you wouldnt talk shit about sounding like Dre or g-funk and people not diggin some1 music -it is simple as that
