people were paying close to 300 just before the boston and burlington shows sold out..
I wouldnt have gone had my ticket not cost me 20 bucks.

$150 is steep. Good idea tho. Good show but I def wouldn't pay 150 to go.

I went to see him last year before he was cool

I feel like this year won't top it because it'll be super packed and tons of posers.

I'd rather try to make money

No, catchy beats/choruses combined with 13 year old bandwagon jumpers is the Jack Johnson of hip-hop (AKA Thrift Shop). Macklemore has some actually decent stuff, but I wouldn't pay half that to go to his show.

Popular songs start out not well known, but they become mainstream because they are so genuinely catchy and overall jive as fuck.

Why do all dope songs have to be mainstream garbage to people?

Dude music is subjective. I bet half the artists you love I would think are totally garbage. I personally think Macklemore is a true lyricist that has a message is most of his songs. Thats something hard to come by nowadays with the garbage being put out there.

And the Heist is awesome. There was only 3-4 songs I didn't quite like.

Honestly Thrift Shop is nothing like his usual stuff, a lot of people make assumptions on him after listening to only 1 song, he has a ton of amazing songs out there

If you're not familiar with any of Macklemore's older stuff I suggest you put this thread in a different tab and listen to these while browsing the web. You wont be disappointed.

As Soon as I Wake Up



At the Party (Such a sick song, uses a party as a metaphor for hip hop)



Love Song



And my personal favorites

The Town



I Said Hey (Such an underrated song IMO)



Last but not least, The Otherside

Dude, it's ok that you secretly like Jack Johnson. No need to get defensive.

WTF is up with the Macklemore phase and when they hell did he blow up so big? Guess I haven't really been paying attention, saw him the first two years he came to Burlington, and it was the same exact show twice in a row just some song variation. Then he started making music about thrift shops and giving back to the community now I just kinda think he's a douche.
