More quotes by Macklemore
We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
Macklemore
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me. Have you read the YouTube comments lately? 'Man, that's gay' gets dropped on the daily.
Macklemore
I like to be as diverse as possible. I think the humorous side and the serious side are both elements of my personality. It's what makes me who I am and if I was to neglect either one of those sides and just focus on one of them, it wouldn't be the full spectrum of my personality.
Macklemore
Drug culture is extremely prevalent and probably most people know somebody whose life has been affected by drugs, if it's not their own or in their own family, they have friends. It's a never-ending process.
Macklemore
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
Macklemore
Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac Watch the videos and get the girls in the back But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
Macklemore
I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song.
Macklemore
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
Macklemore
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
A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.
Macklemore
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!
Macklemore
I don't write a great song every day. I don't write a great song every couple weeks. It comes in such random times.
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 find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.
Macklemore
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Macklemore
I'm a very conceptual writer.
Macklemore
We become so numb to what we're saying.
Macklemore
I grew up in the spoken-word community. Before everybody had a home studio, or before we could get booked for shows, open mics were the only way to be heard by other people. It really gave me a chance to develop as a performer. Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.
Macklemore
Sampling is kind of prehistoric, given the technology and the textures you can create.
Macklemore
I put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There's a fine line.
