That moment when you come back to a song and your English has improved enough to actually understand the lyrics.

[antoux]

New rappers: flexing expensive shit

Macklemore:we don't do that here

[questionmark]

Who would have thought that a song about a thrift shop would be a massive hit and give the world our beloved Macklemore? Fabulous

[UserNameUnavailableAtThisTime]

I think what made this song so iconic was they took such a mundane, lower class activity and hyped it up. Instead of "look at how much money I spent on this inane luxury brand" they went "look at how much money I DIDN'T spend."

They did it with full sincerity too. It never felt like they were being sarcastic or that they were mocking it. They genuinely made it seem cool and fun, which it was!

This song took the feeling of a thrift haul from "oh nice" to "this is a fuckin' SCORE!"

[srblackhat]

Currently I'm in a Shopping Mall with my family. They are looking at some UNHOLY expensive clothes store. So I decided to go back to this video and play it in loop in my earbuds. Won't stop unless we leave from this place.

When I was a child I thought the woman at 1:41 was actually singing and she just had a deep voice

[Dinobot]
