Mackelmore has been making several songs about Palestine and calling attention to the genocide for the last year and a half (maybe more). I remember him from Thrift Shop and Same Love, and then I kinda just forgot about him, then he dropped Hind's Hall 1 + 2, and Fucked Up. The guy is using his platform and influence for good when loads of other mainstream rappers stay silent.
He's the current generations Rage Against the Machine and someone deserving of such a title!
…he is? I’m genuinely asking because that’s a shocking statement and I’m actually curious. Rage was trying to literally start a revolution. Making a few political songs about a genocide is absolutely great, but I feel it does not a Rage make.
