New song about Nikes/Jays and consumer culture. Not as corny as I expected [VIDEO]

[adiosburritos]

seems like this guy just had mental problems growing up

Move this, we're in the General forum where most of us have been rehabilitated from juvenile, unhealthy sneaker addictions and moved on to bigger and better things like dressing better, Ralph Lauren, getting brolic, cool stories bro, and dat mass.

 

[tobiastorgenson]

shoulda had the cal on him

 

[filipin0y]

song and rapper are waaaaaaay too corny... kinda killed the mood of the video. but the video is dope as hell..

 

[theswoosh]

Good song. Unfortunately some of us *Ahem* are not mature enough to appreciate sincere music. I'm bummed my part in the video got cut. I had on OG 1's.

Sorry man, that song was just not good. Just because it was sincere doesn't mean it was well done. 
I liked the video, and it was a decent beat, but it was way too overdramatic for the subject matter and he came across as real corny. I feel like he did a weak job of making the point he was trying to make and the overly dramatic nature of the video and beat, while good on their own, only made the weak lyrics stand out even more. 

 

[hazeee and sn3akers]

Nice video. Song is ok.

 

[35kd]

let's be real tho. if this was kanye, ya'll would say this is the best song/video in the past decade.

Good video.

 

[limonyfresh]

Songs about shoes are tacky.

at goons thinking they're somebody that matters because of a pair of shoes.

 

[supersaiyan415]

Felt like I was watching a JB commercial. And I'm sure most of general has gone through this epiphany. I just wish I realized it at least towards the end of high school.

 

[two.oh.6]

Knew it was gonna be this video.
Dudes say Macklemore is corny in this song rapping all overdramatic about shoes but that's just the way he spits..
Check out his song called Otherside which is about lean or his song My oh My which was a tribute to the mariners late Dave Niehaus. It's just the way he makes music..

When you're white upper class (which is what he is), it comes off as a little contrived.

 

[je ne sais quoi]

I'm above the influence.

 

[dabulls23]

I liked it. I didnt look at it as a song just about shoes, but just how it felt to get them and how it changed over the years. but 90% of NTers have to relate to at least the beginning of the song. When I was a little kid and I got my first Jordans I was just as excited as that kid, and straight to the basketball hoop in my jordan jersey i went.

 

[knnyngo]

Seattle ain't hard like that tho...

I'm referring to how the kid was robbed

 

[OneNightDan]

This song sucked!
Dude's voice is annoying.
Video wasn't all that, too much hype around this dude for no reason!

How you gonna act like Wale isn't the most despised person NTers talk about?

 

[upandcoming]

This song is really old
edit:

I remember when i first heard it i was like dude just seems out of place with it

video solidified it for me
