[@KweenKimberly]

I love Macklemore for EVERYTHING HE IS!!! I’m a Seattle resident & been supporting him since day 1! I’m tellin you all us Seattle/Pacific NW people are some dope humans & we LOVE & SUPPORT our community in a HUGE WAY! I love where I live & the vibe of LIFE here!!! So happy to see him doing SO GOOD & I love the new album 💚

[@ipeeinbutts]

I visit seattle a lot you tryna get ur butt peed in to some thrift shop?

[@alexisescalante6104]

This interview was fantastic! Such a in-depth and necessary conversation!

[@neil231]

It’s really good seeing him back in his element. I wish him and his family continued success.

[@katkatsanis]

He’s a beautiful & brave soul. 🙏🏻✌️

[@MrClintMontgomery]

Great interview. I appreciate the talk about addiction. As someone who has dealt with addiction for 18 years+ I feel even more empowered to attend a program. Thank you for the open and honest discussion.

[@MamaRobynR]

I love this!!!! Got clean 2 years ago. Had a minor slip in there but not a full relapse fully. But After 25 years of opiates hell I’m finally free of that never ending cycle. The stigma is so strong still. It’s my biggest struggle today still. I was on hardcore opiates From 11 ish years old till about 37 years old non stop use. (And it did not start by choice) This interview was awesome!!! 🧿💙🦋

[@professorsrdesai]

A great interview. Just spoke volumes about restorative justice

[@onthe80omw]

best interview ive watched in a long time on all platforms. this teams seasoned approach to interviewing really showed itself here when compared to other podcast outlets. ebro the 916 misses you.

[@emersonmarshall3929]

He looks amazing, better than back in his prime days, if I'm being honest. And he found a good sound that works for him, I'm happy for him.

[@supersaiyansnack201]

Unexpected but appreciated interview

[@TonyHawk-ts6op]

30:41 actually a clever and quick witted comment from Rosenberg that everyone missed

[@yungbambam5097]

Mack stays true to his roots. I saw him at the piers with his kid. Cool dude

[@waynesmiley2207]

Beautiful conversation 🙌🏽

[@adrienne0miss]

Good let’s continue these types of conversations without judgements… it matters

[@CarlPalermoII]

This was an amazing interview and such an important conversation.

[@BigQ9696]

Love you bro!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@Lamaaaaaa]

A very introspective conversation 💎💎💎

[@anthonyourbrother]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏

[@Abie4234]

One of the greatest interviews I have ever heard. Great job, Hot and salute to the brother Ben🤙

[@MrNoNameForYou]

Drug court is the only thing I've ever graduated. Now I'm 33 with a kid living good but still kinda lost. The Seattle area just doesn't haven't a lot to offer for people with convictions.

[@Fivedollarflowers]

We need hot 97 for as long as they want to do it for! there legends!

[@andilegwijane6163]

Well rounded thoughtfull individual that don't pretend to be perfect

[@miles2127]

man i needed to hear this. 100

[@eessaaiidd]

This dude’s dope, F the haters

[@Crs313]

Great conversation mack is dope idc

[@prof3ssor178]

Mack is different is what I like about his music

[@chreed5837]

I thought this was fight club Brad Pitt for a second

[@pridehunter2507]

I found his early music promising. The Heist was DOPE!!! The 2 albums after were hit or miss with mostly misses. I don't trust his musical vision anymore, yet I'm always interested in what he is doing because he is always capable of dropping a unique banger. Wishing him the best. Oh yeah, I went to his Heist concert with Talib Kweli opening in Detroit and it was 🔥

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

Macklemore COMPLETELY changed up his look. He looks completely different from when he first became famous

[@albertwilliams7547]

Thrift shop is big but can’t hold us was everywhere at one point

[@norbylive]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fit

[@toneriggz]

The problem with Macklemore is that he does a lot of goofy records. But he still comes through with great songs like I Said Hey, Wing$, Jimmy Iovine, B-Boy, Otherside. The Pop records overshadow his better content.

[@BigNutsBaby]

The goofy records are part of him and who he is and part of his charm

[@kylegibson5933]

​@@BigNutsBaby exactly, everyone thinks everything has to be serious all the time or you can't take them seriously, his pop records are HUGEEE and for good reason, Can't hold us he's rapping his arse off over one of the notoriously catchy beats I've ever heard in my life, period. he is 1 of 25 artist EVER in the world to have multiple diamond selling records.

[@GodlessFiend]

It ain’t Macklemore without his iconic hair, so now HES PLAIN OLE BEN 😂

[@guywithalimpp]

BRO, WHY U GOTTA START THE INTERIVEW WITH THE GRAMMY+KENDRICK THING, LEAVE THAT BEHIND

[@TheeThunderGod]

Fucced homies name all up in the title. Tighten up over there at 97🤦🏾

[@MrJol420]

100% didn't recognize him

[@deenial218]

Spell check?

[@keenanwilson7445]

The new album is good

[@Nunofyabizzzzz]

What happened to his producer Ryan?

[@BigNutsBaby]

He’s off on his own. Ben and Ryan did a song at the end of 2021 called Next Year

[@nibbles187]

Hot 97 needs to take a L, for not remembering to add a L😂

[@Nunofyabizzzzz]

I’m watching this and I’m so confused. I hear Macklemore but I don’t see Macklemore

[@peligroy2k]

For people complaining about the "L" missing..... is on purpose, so we comment about it, helps the algorithm...

[@AGETheGawdYT]

Smart but not quite, they fixed it soon as it was noticed and it's only at 5 K .

[@chooselife8527]

Smart strategy 😂

[@ARTBYBIG]

FIX THE TITLE! MACKEMORE? 😂😂

[@diamondscloudznizcream9839]

Tacky as company does this continuously

[@adrienne0miss]

Seriously…

[@SWISSMUSICFC]

They done care LOL

[@ShaquillePinckney]

Is that even Macklemore? Lol

[@geekylove3603]

Boom bap never left bro

[@ebinflo102]

Damned straight! The new album from Roc Mariano & Alchemist is proof of that. Lot of great stuff coming out still, just gotta dig for it.

[@mayheezy2873]

He returned puerto rican ? 😳

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

😂😂😂😂 I didn't wanna say it but I was thinking it. He looked like a regular American white dude when that album of his became a hit

[@adriananderson28]

🤩🤩🤩🤩✨🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@SlackieBrownMedia]

Ayyy

[@abracadabruh1313]

Haven’t seen this guy for ten years… and he somehow looks ten years younger than he did then? Dafuq

[@mlrdmn]

Did he get back on weed ?

[@aherbs86]

"and you can't eat it all the time and be healthy" #fuckingbars

[@dantexshelby]

… thank you lot so much innit, like :,(

[@jordanweekes8913]

Fix the title

[@kozzy1764]

Did Macklemore rebrand as a Latino 😱

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

😂😂 I didn't wanna say nothing because it sounds like this is leaning on a more serious talk about mental health and addiciton but he changed his look up a lot since he first came out like I didn't think that was him from the thumbnail

[@frankalmanzar3492]

Leaning into interests that your child is into? 😂 Try telling that to any immigrant parent.

[@icecreambacon]

Why does he look Spanish lmao

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

😂😂 I don't know I always thought he was an American white dude this is confusing me

[@Bigtexdraw]

I remember Macklemore the guy they gave all the awards for being white 🤷

[@ThatOnePat]

Has an artist career ever fallen off because they won a Grammy?

[@warrenmelvin4370]

Wait so there is an L?

[@otischingorevlogs1437]

New celebrate

[@michaellevy5458]

Funny because all the city’s they are complaining about are from the same party they voted for 🤡

[@migdavinci2477]

There’s a big white rapper void In the game. Macklemore is a dope artist and is needed to be honest.

[@mrjames851]

his mustache offends me

[@mathewmcfool]

Riff Raff still ain’t got his Grammy? What about MGK? Logic get one yet?

[@9roselove9]

Something about him is very annoying

[@MrRob1317]

The Black community loves R.Kelly

[@cristianroy21]

The only musician I couldn’t stand

[@AashishShresthaStudios]

White privilege exists but no one ever talks about black privilege in the post-Eminem era of hip hop.

[@tyinva1212]

By far the worst rapper of all time

[@TrevorFosterTheFosterDojo]

Macklemore is like the Avatar 2 of hip Hop

[@pothead2194]

Came straight out 2015
