How come Macklemore became the new white Jesus of rap and yelawolf miller MGK Roth sit on the shelf?

[KG1]

MGK was signed roughly a year before Bad Boy announced they signed him. They wanted him to seem like he came out of nowhere. When I was working at BB he was up there a few times. Honestly think he just a regional rapper and BB not the best fit for him. Whatever though

 

[JustCKing]

He's almost the opposite of Eminem:

- doesn't have rappers co-signing him

- his image isn't really Hip Hop

- his producer isn't a Hip Hop producer

- he supports gays

- he isn't controversial or confrontational

- his songs are songs that parents won't confiscate from their children because of the content or lyrics

- he's not perceived as a misogynist

fakkitmore knows whos dikk to grease in shyt and the other cacs, do not.

 

[NSSVO]

Macklemore sacrified his dignity for a check.

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

White Safe Pop Rapper with a Non-Threatening Image who makes catchy fun party songs that both 5 & 50 year olds can like in a Post-Recession world where most rappers are rapping about flossing, killing & things of depressing & demonic nature... who would've guessed that could work?

Pretty much said everything I was gonna say..

He is everything white america wanted in a white rapper...he is pretty much the John Cena for white rappers..

 

[The War Report]

He appeals to mainstream America. It also doesn't hurt to have hits that play all over the radio waves.

 

[Illuminatos]

He makes catchy songs.

 

[DaveyDave]

MAcklemore is pop music.

Yellawolf is a mystery since he's in the vein of Eminem

Mac Miller selling 200K Indy is amazing. Dude is probably cakin hard.

MGK - ehh, didnt he sign with Diddy? That's his problem right there

Yela isn't really like Em at all, even saying he's a southern Eminem would be a shaky comparison IMO

hipsters, theoretically, should hate Macklemore.

in theory yes, but hes from Seattle (in the top 3 for hipsterdom), when he's an indy artist, bruh denounced all the things white people hate about rap (drugs, consumerism, etc) and hes extremely relatable for them. Plus his videos are directed at their demographic, with full of irony and other shyt.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

dont forget about asher roth dropping 5 official singles for his 2nd album that still has no release date

His career been done.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

White underground rappers>>>>>> any of these wannabee mainstream cacs.

I really dont think hipsters like white rappers

 

[MiC]
