Hideous trash. Just horrendous in every way. I hope that Macklemore wakes up, looks at his piles of money and feels a deep sense of shame for fouling our culture with 'Same Love'.

I acknowledge that Macklemore has talent, but it's done in a way that I can't really do anything but sort of stand at a distance and appreciate it. It's too preachy for my tastes. "Can't Hold Us", for my money, is his best song, due to a sheer focus on rhythmic gymnastics.

At least he's better than Jay-Z or Lil Wayne (this is from a former fan of both artists) at this point

I appreciate Macklemore's good intentions and messages in his songs, but I can't ever take to his music.
But I do like the meaningful video to this song.

Btw, here's the original song Macklemore sampled Same Love from:

Pretty much.  The lyrics are way too on the nose.

You're really not helping yourself in that whole "bullying raid" against you.

I'm not a fan of Macklemore and I'm certainly not a fan of rap, but this a great song and it tells a great story behind it for LGBT rights both in and out of the video. His singing is HS aside from this song, but he's an FF overall for his stance on gay rights and overcoming his fights with drugs and alcohol.

I don't know what this sentence means. Sad

Plenty of things have "good messages" and are also unlistenable garbage. Making an extremely safe political point I agree with (I guess?) doesn't excuse bad music for being bad music.

Is Same Love the Ebony and Ivory of the 2010s?

(The answer is yes.)

Precisely. I suppose it's a matter of taste - I prefer more wordplay and creativity in lyrics but others find that pretentious or annoying (if they can't decrypt the meaning). Same Love is obnoxiously straight forward. I agree with him, but the outright proselytizing makes me roll my eyes.

Without "Same Love", the music industry wouldn't be able to bravely congratulate itself on how progressive it is.

Horrible song.  The only song I have liked from Macklemore is "Can't Hold Us".  Although "Same Love" isn't nearly as bad as "Thrift Shop", which is one of the worst songs in the history of music, perhaps only topped by "Black and Yellow" and "Sexy and I Know It".

The Atlas consensus continues to be a good judge of character.
