This is about the closest Ive ever come to not hating Macklemore. Why am I safe? Why can I cuss on a record, have a parental advisory sticker on the cover of my album, yet parents are still like, youre the only rap I let my kids listen to? Why can I wear a hoodie and not be labelled a thug? Why can I sag my pants and not be a gangbanger? Why am I on Ellens couch? Why am I on Good Morning America? If I was black, what would my drug addiction look like?...To me, the privilege that exists in the music industry is just a greater symptom of the privilege that exists in America...It all boils down to privilege.
