I only heard about a minute of it yesterday and I thought that it sounded like a good message and a proper tribute to late 80's/early 90's rap.
Zionists/politicians/police being the power that's oppressing and lying about everyday Palestinians and everyone seeing and knowing what's happening to them also being bystander victims by the heavy censoring and force used to quell their voice trying to stop the killing of innocents.
I heard messages about stopping murder in the names of rich which was catchy and a much better creative use of rage than needless violence and hating your fellow citizen. It was catchy and something that might even define a change in the era (Dude could collaborate with Jason Aldean and but the pressure back on where it is meant to be).
I could be naïve on this one. Macklemore has all the hallmarks of what I don't like; a wigger from Seattle over 40, from a rich family, spouting about injustice with a focus on student protests at universities, son of a big wig journalist and fashionista mother, all the right doors open for him. But the message and delivery is all there.
I'll give it another listen today, but I like the energy it has and represents.
Nah I'd argue there is. That's actually feminine energy. "Won't somebody think of the children! We have to do SOMETHING!" It's what allows passage of ridiculous gun laws and why the COVID nonsense was tolerated so long. "At least they were trying to help people."
A solution has to be correct. If you're not informed about a situation then sit down and shut up, or if you do have the solution then do it without making it a big affair. Don't waste time grasping at straws or whining, just do your job.
(this comment has nothing to do with macklemore who I know nothing about and I didn't even click op's link)
You could very well be right and it's an approved part of a larger narrative being pushed and is just put together in a professional and catchy manner.
The problem with solutions is that everyone thinks that 'theirs' is the final one and it never is.

There is no message here, its just a confused white boy.
I'll give you that he is a confused white man.
Nothing wrong with being a confused white man trying to remedy a situation which hurts so many people, in any way you can.

Particularly students.
