What's your favorite Macklemore song? Thrift Shop was wildly popular when it came out.
I love Otherside, its a song about addiction and struggle.
Very cool. Were you and Macklemore in school at the same time?
I was a freshman when he was a senior at a high school in Seattle.
That's amazing! He ended up going to college at Evergreen State. Not too many rappers actually graduate. It's hard to believe that his debut album made it to #1 on the iTunes charts!!
He hade a lot of hype from all over school. You'd be surprised how many rappers go to college and how educated they are.
His brother Tim sometimes collaborates with him. Was Tim also in school with you?
No, I have not heard of Tim! I did not know that fact about Macklemore.
Learn something new everyday, I suppose! He's definitely had some challenges in his life. In 2014 he had a relapse with his addiction.
Yes, he has quite a struggle with addiction and has not shied away from singing about it and teaching his listeners
