Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop
Artist: Macklemore x Ryan Lewis
Featuring: Wanz
Producer: Ryan Lewis
Album: The Heist
Label: Unsigned
Sometimes I wonder just how the Seattle bred Irishman Macklemore does what he does. Coming off his most recent release, Same Love, which eloquently addressed the underlying issues associated with homosexuality and same-sex marriage, Macklemore and right hand producer Ryan Lewis have completely flipped the script with a comical video take on second hand clothing. With a full ensemble of “slightly worn” threads at his fingertips, along with intensely unique vocals from Wanz, the self deemed “most prolific thrift shopper in the rap game” stunts on his ability to recycle fashion with a pocketful of pennies. Once again, the fur covered #sharkfacegang commander pilots his DeLorean where no other MC has ventured before, marking the first time a rapper has turned one mans trash into another man’s come-up. Thrift Shop marks the second single off Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ forthcoming debut LP, The Heist, being released independently on October 9 via Macklemore.com.

One of the best doing it right now... and he is doing it all himself, in house, without any suit influences.

This is pretty funny. But I can hear that Macklemore x Ryan Lewis got skills behind the mic. I like the beat too. Different and fresh...

Reminds me of Calle 13 and The Fresh Prince. Already got tickets to see them with Dee-1 in Chicago.

Can't say I've thoroughly enjoyed a video as much as this one in a long time. Funny but still delivering relevant content. Can't wait for The Heist

Hip-Hop is all about dark themes and under-toned hypocrisy that reflects the falseness of the music genre. This song is absolutely the best song I heard since "Mind your Manners" by Chiddy Bang ft. Icona Pop. Very vibrant and fun song.
