Macklemore x Ryan Lewis

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, are a group consisting of two artists, that I found while looking up bands that were featured on this years FunFunFunFest lineup. I have to say, at first I was sort of skeptical when I heard their first song Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz) however, when I started to really listen to the lyrics and the humor intertwined with Macklemore's nice rhyme flow, and Ryan Lewis's beats, I became a fan.

I assumed just from listening to this song that the rest of their music, was basically humorous rap songs about random stuff, however I was wrong. After I downloaded their latest album, "The Heist" I was suprised to find that the humor with Thrift Shop was really one of a kind for Macklemore, with most of his songs having real meaning like that of Jimmy Lovine, or what is now my personal favorite being a basketball fan myself, WING$.

I have become a serious fan of Macklemore now, after fully listening to his entire album, listening to his broad range of styles of rap. From humor, to a more serious tone, I think Macklemore is great however he has recieved some mixed reviews for his songs, like Thrift Shop, being stupid and pointless. Whats you opinion? I personally think its great, and love his style of humor.
