Macklemore - The Making of 'Thrift Shop' (Vevo Footnotes)
When you're low on cash and long on style, you're a pal of Macklemore. The 2012 smash by the Seattle rapper and his mate Ryan Lewis celebrated second-hand fashion choices like no song before it, and with the video rounding the corner towards 2 BILLION views in a decade, plenty of fans agreed. As part of our celebration of hip-hop's 50th anny, we connected with Mr. M for an in-person Footnotes interview explaining how this classic came together one day long ago in the Great Northwest. He told us about writing the track (which earned itself a GRAMMY) running amok in the Good Wills and vintage stores, getting that fit from a downtown Seattle tailor for Mr. WANZ, and the "anti-flex, don't follow the crowd" message of the vid. "Thrift Shop" is as fun to watch now as it was back in the day.
