    The half of the song he spends conveying how unsure and confused he is on his responsibilities in the current climate is really good tbh.

    Macklemore released a nine minute song called White Privilege II. Has he finally delved into self-parody?

    "seems we're more concerned with being called racists than we actually are with racism."

    macklemore preachin on this. say what you want about him as an artist, and ya don't even necessarily need to agree with his content here, but he crushed it on this one. lyrics very well thought out here, production on point, message delivered.

    There's absolutely no way to create a song about White Privilege without rubbing people the wrong way. He's well intentioned. It's awkward. It's honest to a fault. This is the song equivalent of him posting that Kendrick text. Macklemore genuinely believes he's socially required to continually press this issue. Whether he should or not is his decision.

    For what it's worth, it's a good song.

    Not a great song, but thoughtful and creative at times imo. Especially when he acts out white fans praising him for One Love, while critiquing Black Lives Matter, etc.

    There's a kind of pop-friendly despair in the verses. He can a little too broad/preachy, but this speaks some truth. Well-intentioned pop song, even if this is becoming his thing. Seriously, this song would be more powerful, and maybe better overall, if a sober-minded Eminem tackled it. Then again.......

    Future? Sounded like his past to me.
    Future? It definitely wasn't a present.
    Future? I'm not looking forward to him.
