This year, I stumbled upon Macklemore because of this class. I began to listen to his new music and I
heard his song Same Love. I listened it
to a lot and eventually started looking up more on Macklemore and his songs as
well as videos. What I found was this
video of Macklemore talking to the public about his life and connection to
same-sex marriage.
I find it fascinating that Macklemore found it important to
sit down with a camera and just speak. This
relates to my earlier post on Hip-Hop and homosexual marriage and how
celebrities are speaking out to their fans and public. These changing beliefs within Hip-Hop are
morphing the culture for the better and allowing for new beliefs to enter.
Below is Macklemore’s song, Same Love, for those of you who
haven’t heard it yet. It discusses love
and how love is not confined to heterosexual couples. Pay attention to the use of the woman and the
man singing; I feel that adds to the message and emphasizes that love can occur
with both gay and lesbian couples.
Let me know what else you find in the videos!
