MACKLEMORE X RYAN LEWIS - OTHERSIDE REMIX FEAT. FENCES

Stunningly impressive and fucking brutally honest. Heavy kudos to all involved.  Really portraying a more realistic, yet painful truth to the general public/ youth. 

Still impressed. Absolute wonderful song/ audio production. The video is the same caliber as the audio if not higher. I really hope this track/ video makes ripples.  


Even though I enjoy the drug-infused rap songs by countless artists, I mainly enjoy the beats, the structure of the song and most of all - the confidence that is heavily thrown in your face kind of vibe. Mix that vibe with song great beats, I just glaze past their lyrics about women, drugs and violence. But, as portrayed in this song, those lyrics are bullshit. Even if they aren’t bullshit in their entirely, who gives a shit about that . . ? That only relates to a small minority of lifestyles. Key word: Lifestyles. 

Yes, people smoke, drink and of course have sex. But, those who abuse those, their lifestyles/ eventual choices will be rotten, or evidentially obvious that those choices have been made. I think, the majority of people who obtain in such activity do it, in moderation, or with some self-discipline. Which is alright, if you do it responsibly. But, youth grow up listening to that shit embedded in their minds, eventually loosing the overal general conception of drugs, sex and/ or violence, well before they are taught or learn by themselves otherwise. 

Blah, blah, but kudos - kudos to Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and Fences.
