If you’re a cynic like me who thinks most protest movements involving foreign countries is probably 90% people angling for clout, well, the return of this lame is probably not gonna change your mind.
With "Hind's Hall" Macklemore finally delivers an allyship effort that isn't embarrassing
lol doubt it, Salon
A decade ago would you have thought the widely dissed white rapper would earn Tom Morello's approval?
lol Tom Morello is an ass. Not helping your case!
Sure, it’s generating a little heat due to the artist jamming a Drake swipe in there, along with announcing that he’s not voting for Joe Biden in November.
So he felt he had to get attention by delivering the most superfluous comment on the BEEF of the DECADE and also isn’t voting for Biden? Good grief, didn’t we suffer enough with that song about his uncles?
Progressives can’t be faulted for wishing for a better allyship option. Macklemore’s drop was met with the reminder that in 2014 he appeared at a Seattle show in a getup resembling an antisemitic propaganda cartoon. He apologized, claiming the costume was his effort to create a disguise from a mishmash of second-hand Halloween gear. (It’s stunning that nobody warned him that his prosthetic nose and beard combo might be misinterpreted.)
Yikes, his ability to embarrass himself is so prolific that I forgot about this one.
Still, the positive response dominating the opening round of the “Hind’s Hall” discourse is assisted massively by a thumbs up from the likes of Rage Against the Machine’s frontman Tom Morello, who posted on X, “Honestly @macklemore’s “Hind’s Hall” is the most Rage Against The Machine song since Rage Against The Machine.”
Someone else is still trying to be relevant!
Look I hope things get resolved in Israel and Palestine but a bunch of washed up cornballs are probably not gonna do it. But maybe I’m the asshole.
