Less than a week after he made headlines for a lengthy conversation on race and white privilege with Ebro and Peter Rosenberg on Hot 97, Macklemore has confirmed that he will release a new album in 2015.
The Seattle emcee hasn’t offered up any more information but fans can likely expect longtime collaborator Ryan Lewis to be involved in the project. The duo’s last album, their official studio debut, was released more than two years ago in October of 2012 and won Best Rap Album at the 56th Grammy Awards in 2014.
Earlier this week, Macklemore spoke out about his place as a white rapper in a national dialogue about race in light of the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
“For me, as a white dude, as a white rapper, I’m like, ‘How do I participate in this conversation?'” he wondered. “How do I get involved on a level where I’m not coopting the movement or I’m not making it about me but also realizing the platform that I have and the reach that I have? And doing it in an authentic, genuine way. Race is uncomfortable to talk about, and white people, we can just turn off the T.V. when we’re sick of talking about race.”
I know why you dropping this album is because you are white and you know even if the album is wack white people will buy it and you will win best grammy for the album, you are not a real rapper you just George Bush cousin mix in the hip hop world, please drop the album on Martin Luther King day to piss off the black african rappers
white people never bought machine gun kelly or yelawolfs albums… they aint win no grammys
black people are more racist than white people in hip hop and think everyone is out to get them with a chip on their shoulder smh
to answer your question thurman merman, Yelawolf machine and machine gun kelly are signed by black rappers so they get a pass by the black community, Macklemore is independent so he is a white supremacist for that
@davis – you MORON. yela is signed to EMINEM. MGK is signed to diddy so OBV he already got a ‘black pass’ (as if he even needed it lol)
Yep, they can team up with that disloyal bitch, Lil Wayne and make a song together about how they are in love. Gays will rejoice.
On the other hand you might have a point Iggy Izelea is signed by T.I. and she stills gets discrimated by black people, so the black supremacist are out to get all white rappers, Macklemore is the new Jay Z and they hating
The comments on this page will give you brain cancer.
black people always worried what white ppl like and listen to..ok majority listen 2 mackelmore how is this affecting your day and or life?
yall always say fuck whte ppl than always got a prob with what white ppl watch, listen to, act like, do in life.. go about yourselves
macklemore is actually dope.
“I’m can’t wait for Macklemore to drop his new cd!” – said No One Ever
He outsold everybody in the game, so I’m sure there are a lot of idiots who can’t wait for it.
on top of that macklemore has been on his indie grind since 2005 he didnt come out of no where. he was selling out shows since 2009. he valid on the underground. yalll should do ur research on an artist before you start hatin. he made it independently. even kendrick cudnt do that and dot is the surperior emcee
I like Macklemore as a person , but his album that won a grammy was plain terrible . Hope this album sounds better and has better beats . His songs are a little to soft and goofy for me .
But when will he
