Macklemore - GRIME - Live Session | Vevo ctrl
Prior to its release, Macklemore hinted that ‘BEN’ would be a bit “moodier” than previous projects. The famously truthful and self-aware Seattle rapper had been open about a relapse during the pandemic, which also happened to be the span in which he was working on his third studio album. So it certainly made sense that fans could expect an overall darker shade of their hero when ‘BEN’ arrived in March. Intro track “CHANT” references his aforementioned addiction and its repercussions within the first minute. Then it switches focus to the reasons he pushed through: family, his city, his self-worth. “HEROES” reveals that the “Thrift Shop” rapper has his childhood, his growth, and his origin story on his mind. Makes sense, he’s got a kid now too, after all. In reality, for all of its dips into deeply personal and dark places, this compilation of songs signal a triumphant new chapter. Not only through personal problems, but artistically as well. For one thing: Mack’s really in his rap bag. Check this “GRIME” performance, not a lot of dudes are spitting this clean in 2023.

[@RetroLodge]

DAMN I haven't listened to Macklemore since I found him, on Thirft Shopping but I'm SO GLAD I seen you back. Through a reccomendation, glad to see you still looking healthy too. 🔥💯👋

[@nicolevillanueva3625]

Imma call this emerald city boogie! Miss living there the music is flyyyyy

[@IIPSALM23II]

dope af

[@jamtronllc]

The thing is, a lot of new rappers can't rap without a VOX backing track. At all. Every clip I see on here the rapper has a backing track. I've begun to lose faith in new artist's ability to perform and hone in their craft. I still enjoy the performance, but as someone who used to tour and perform, I'd always pride myself on the shows that went well, the ones where I killed it and remembered every word. To me it feels like such a crutch to have a backing track, you never lose your place or confidence to nail the show. Props to Macklemore for keeping it real and giving us straight bars without a backing track!

[@banysanchez]

Just asking, Don't you mean playback? I think back tracking is what he is using, the recorded instrumentals. Playback is when the recorded voice is used in live performance.

[@Miadegioanni3958]

Amazing!!!! you're the best Mack!!!!!!! God bless you🙏🙏🙏

[@gailsteel4742]

I like that shit the sound is hitting

That’s what I’m talking about; send ya something soon, like the baton or a baboon, from the legume, or a lagoon. Laborious Laguna, Tuna, mighty fish might see the 🎤 Mic; wish or fishing to see me, and I might let ya be; or crap ya upon the star, without the glow; so that the mites gets ya so, far; unbeknownst to me, a Harold glow, or Mini giraffe money tree, sea. Below the deck, Babylon half checked, upon dem cliff nuff respect. Che Guevara; make it snow; guerrilla routines over row boats; right Mic Flow🎤 Traffic Ness, then let it Grow🌲🌲🌲💪💪
