The only reason I really give a shit about Macklemore, whereas I don't care about 99% of other rappers these days, is because he's local and has a good message in his songs. It isn't the typical "pimps n hoez" type of rap and he's very obvious about his love for Seattle. Some of his songs are just incredibly catchy too. I'm still not planning on missing any of Vampire Weekend, but I'll for sure be running down the hill after them to catch the last half of Macklemore. If you are trying to imply that 99% of rap is pimps and hoez then you need to listen to more rap. I don't really understand why being from Seattle makes him matter more to you. Good music is good music. Seriously. It's not like good, meaningful rap music is hard to find. Atmosphere, Kanye, Jurassic 5, Mos Def, Brother Ali... Macklemore is just another rapper to me, and not a particularly good one IMO. Just my two cents. I'm sure it'll be a good show, but I'll be having fun at Matthew Dear.

When I was eight years old. Last Concert Attended: Bombadil, a southern-pop band from North Carolina that is amazing.

Haha I've already seen them, plus I think DKM is going to be just kickass, so they got pooped down all the way to four. Sorry!
