I definitely use smiling while rapping as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.

Macklemore
You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
Macklemore
I want to make music that I like not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.

We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
Macklemore
A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.

I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.

Michael Jordan was a cultural icon that everybody on the playground wanted to be. The Bulls dynasty was a huge part of my childhood and it was the peak of my basketball interest as a kid.
Macklemore
We become so numb to what we're saying.
Macklemore
You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
