I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

whoa Lowkey mentioned! yeah, that's the kind of politically conscious hip-hop I meant. Immortal Technique was even moreso, but he's been inactive for a long time and the extreme homophobia makes it hard for me to listen to, which is a shame.

    Yes. I would like to think he was a product of the toxic masculinity culture, especially due to his time in the prison. It is a shame that while he was being radical on one front, he managed to dehumanize people who should have been his allies.
