Q: What message do you want to share with young people of color?
A: We live in a culture of celebrity and the cult of personality, I mean a reality show participant is our president, because we live in such a celebrity obsessed society… It’s my dream, at least in the times that we live in now, especially now that I have one foot in entertainment, and one foot in the white collar world, I want more people to be more crazy about science and being lawyers and being more about business and education. I know that entertainment seems fun, but first of all I’ll tell them it’s a lot of work… Rather than fund someone’s demo, I’d rather fund someone’s app idea… I’m all about music and that sort of thing on my social media, but a lot of times, when I meet an 11 or 12 year old, I’m trying to tell them, “yo man, create apps,” trying to get prepared for the future. I want them to dream about being a lawyer. Now I want journalists to tell the truth, that sort of thing, that’s what I encourage more. I think that’s a blanket statement that I’d like to share with people. Being a celebrity might “seem” fulfilling, but it’s diminished returns. I’d rather encourage them to do something of substance.

What advice would you share with allies and activists within the racial justice community?
I recently attended an event where I heard this woman speak who’s son had been killed by a sniper of an opposing country. And she said, “if you think that returning hate with hate is the way, then don’t even get involved, because right now we need love more than ever.” And I though that was really powerful coming from someone who’s son had been murdered. And she actually helped pass a law that in turn freed the person that murdered her son. She really had to forgive him.
@historyandmemes is taking over Tumblr’s official @action account today! We’ll be covering the Concert For Charlottesville benefit event in support of racial justice and unity. P.s. the show will be streaming on Tumblr for free!

Somin: You only have one life to live so do everything you want to do and try out everything! It wasn’t long ago that I started to think this. The reason is because when I look back on myself I don’t want to regret anything. So do you!

lunarlulllaby asked:
Ryan: Magic is real.
Macklemore: I’m thinking. Immediately, I go to a sexual place which feels… wrong. I don’t really want to read people’s minds.
Ryan: There’s so many spells that are ultimately going to not make you happy. I say flying. It’s cool, it’s not going to fuck with you psychologically.
[both laughing]
Macklemore: I second that.
epilogue-youngforever-deactivat asked:
Ryan: I just started watching Ozarks. It’s pretty dramatic.
Macklemore: It’s good. I’d still go with Breaking Bad. Ozarks is good, it’s new.
Ryan: Narcos is good.
Macklemore: The OA? The OA I loved.
Anonymous asked:
Ryan: Always. I mean, we are always collaborating. Not always musically, but also visually. I think there’s people that like to be art a private process, and others who want it to be a communal process. And I like to meet people and do new things with others.
Macklemore: And at this point, I’ve been doing music for a long time, and we’ve made music together for a long time. It just depends on what you care about - is it, I need to make the beats, I need to make the melody, etc. Or are you trying to create the best song possible, and sometimes Ryan might play a piano line and it turns into “Same Love”, or there’s a better piano player than him. Or I have the melody down, but there’s someone out there that might have the beats.
I care more about the final product of this song, versus me being the only person making it for the bragging rights.
Ryan: And that’s the beauty of rapping. There’s a reason why rapping and hip hop has had more legs - because it gets re along other genres constantly. if rappers were just going to rap beats, then you wouldn’t see rappers rise.
ozwalsh-deactivated20171128 asked:
Ryan: Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. There are others who just write about relationships and weed. You find a lot of inspiration when you just do it, and when you’re a musician, you try as much as you can, and sometimes you have to force it. I’m a conceptionalist writer, and for some reason, I get most excited by a concept for a song or video that’s going to set it apart. Something that hasn’t been fully talked about - and when that’s out there, it gives you a prompt to make it.
yellowwandsaber asked:
We were given a dead and frozen goldfish to SIGN. We didn’t even get to keep it.
Anonymous asked:
Macklemore: I know Ryan’s: a lint roller and an electric beard buzzer.
Ryan: Ben’s would probably be ginger and the raven Bowie wig.
womanlikemex asked:
Ryan: For whatever reason, I don’t really give a shit how well I do or don’t do. I think there’s people who are hyper focused on what they’re doing at the moment, taste makers or people out there doing stuff that’s a little different. I’m in the third group. There’s a risk that you go ham and you wildly go in a different direction and it’s not what people want right now.
boobeargirlfan asked:
Macklemore: We met on the internet, on Myspace.
Ryan: We started working together when I was doing photography, and so at that time I wasn’t good at making beats. Then I was getting in graphic design, so when I started doing beats, I started doing visuals for Macklemore.
Anonymous asked:
Macklemore: My grandfather walking in on me jacking off. Full dick exposed. I couldn’t even hide it.
Ryan: I’m just going to let [him] win that one.
genevives-study asked:
Ryan: Clue, the movie. Hands down. Fantastic. Also, Indiana Jones.
Macklemore: I’m gonna go with, Scarface. Ha. I really love the movie Four Rooms. The other movie I love, that’s a classic is Groundhog Day. I think about it probably once a month.
jayderamirez-deactivated2018043 asked:
Macklemore: It was suggested by Molly Nordstrom, and I loved the name. It means, like, warrior out there in Ireland. And I love Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Sloane was beautiful.
after-you-left-deactivated20210 asked:
Macklemore: I wanted to be on a stage and I wanted to be a rapper at a very young age.
Ryan: I didn’t want to be anything in particular. Oh wait, Indiana Motherfuckin’ Jones. That’s what I wanted to be.
