So many of the comments on Macklemore's videos are people saying, to some extent, "I'm not really into rap, but this is somehow different." That's because they're right. This guy isn't just a rapper, he's a storyteller. He makes you feel something you didn't think you would. There are rappers, fine. Some of them are philosophers, and if you care about developing your mind... well, this guy has something real to say.

And I keep saying it.. he transmits so much! he's on the other side of the screen but I can feel ya man, I almost cry

[Fernanda-pggo]

the feeling with which he sings each song is just perfect ....

[blakelewistelevision]

This is the perfect blend of Rhythm and Poetry. (R.A.P)

[belladamico]

The Heist is one of my favorite albums.

[PRYDEEE]

Music is the best things humans have created bar none...Just watch this video, passion, energy, emotion. Love this man, Incredible.

[zoewest]

He has the gift to tell the incredible and some sad story's from his life and some how he is preaching the truth of our crazy world. He is not God but he is humble and you can tell that he has been through hell and back and has his testimony to tell through beautiful music! We love you Ben!!!

Macklemore hits home on this track, My friend in College had three guys take his Shoes(Jordans), Jersey, and Hat, and he had to walk home just like the kid in the video. I think of him everytime I hear this song. I totally agree with Macklemore and material things it real

[jazzmochi]

I hope he knows how he touches people by his lyrics. Thankyou. Thankyou. When I heard your lyrics, i know, my generation doesn't completely lost into dust.

production is outta this world, props to Ryan Lewis

[MiriamSokron]

Even when he's just recording with just like his crew he still puts all his emotion in the song...Rappers like this are rare
Macklemore all the way. <3

[falsedilimma]

Every time I listen to this song, I mean EVERY time, I get goosebumps when he says "mom I touched the net" I can relate to this song

[alicethebrave]

The emotion expressed in this song is breathtaking. The emotion expressed on his face when he sings it, even more so.

[rossvellknaphaux]

This is a real human, he feels what he sings and he sings it with completely love and truth. And the most amazing thing is that when you hear another singer in the CD's song version and then you hear it in live you say-"WTF?; does he/she sings that bad?-
But with MACKLEMORE that's different, he have his true voice even when there's no "computer-magic" that some singers add to their music...Macklemore is the greatest person I can never see/hear.He is full of true love

[adriannawrona]

I LOVE HIM! and this song is my definetely favorite! Ryan Lewis and Macklemore.. the best duet ever! He sings the same on live like in the songs. And he's got so much of positive energy :) I CAN SAY HE'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ARTIST :):)

[marad_lm]

Rap is not the kind of music I love listen to but this song is incredible, I absolutely live it, It's just amazing

[ariadnadelacalle]
