Watch Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (with Ray Dalton) Killin’ on Tiny Desk Concert (Explicit)
Dec 3rd, 2012 in Music
We have been repeatedly bowled over by Seattle rapper Macklemore and his cohort Ryan Lewis. When watching them, you can frequently get whipsawed between the heavy pathos of one song that’s followed immediately by the lifting bathos of the next song. As witnessed below, this flip-flop happened literally on their first two songs for NPR’s latest Tiny Desk Concert. Suffice it to say, the lads (particularly Macklemore) wear their hearts on their sleeves. And yet those hearts seem bigger than the Kingdome. Oh, and that first song, Same Love? We completely support that message. Love IS the only answer.
Mackelmore has more good heart and soul than a thousand Lil Waynes. It’s performances like this that show how short most other rappers have fallen. Long live Mackelmore!
Amazing. Chills the whole time.
Nice, beguiling.
