Comment on How are you supposed to pronounce "Macklemore"?

Mac-L-more
So if you mean “el” like “el tigre chino”, then that’s correct. “L” just eliminates confusion.
I have no strong feelings about him as an artist
He makes super up ear and stupid music 99% of the time, but he’s got a lot more artistic credibility than most.
Can’t remember if he was wealthy before music, or was just unsigned and smart about his money. But dude will at least stand by his principles even when it costs him money.

Maybe it’s 99% upbeat and stupid by airtime, but certainly not by content of the catalogue unless you’re saying upbeat or stupid. It’s the Lady Gaga move. Get the popular demand through the catchy, shallow/humorous stuff, use that to fund the deeper artistic endeavors.
I like the music but it’s not in my rotation, so I hear nothing about his principles. What’d he stand by?

I don’t have the full picture on his recent output, but he has been refreshingly, unapologetically direct about his support for Palestine.
