Macklemore dropped from Las Vegas festival lineup after viral 'f--- America' video
Just a few days after the rapper Macklemore was announced as a headliner of the inaugural Neon City Festival in downtown Las Vegas, he has been dropped from the lineup.
News that the rapper was removed from the Neon City lineup comes after his performance at the Palestine Will Love Forever Festival in Seattle over the weekend. A video of Macklemore yelling "Yeah, f— America!" during his performance has since been viewed over a million times on social media.
Macklemore has not kept his stance on the ongoing war in Gaza a secret. In May, he made headlines when he released "Hind's Hall," a rap single praising college students for their protests of the war and denouncing the U.S.'s role in the conflict.
Been feeling awfully Iraq War-y around here since last October.
Also I don't think Macklemore needs this first time festival where he was the most famous and accomplished act as much as they needed him.
Also
Fuck America.
History will definitely be on his side for this one.
The fact that Israel went from having genocide committed against them to committing genocide in under 100 years will be of historical note for centuries. The fact that the world wasn't sure which side they should be on will also be of note, because to the rest of us it's pretty fucking obvious: the side killing children is evil.
Pretty sure most of the world is against it... Just some psychopathic "leaders" of a few psychopathic Western countries support it
There are plenty of ways to protest the Israeli government's atrocities in Gaza that don't involve dressing up like a literal hooknosed antisemitic caricature that looks like it was lifted directly from neo-Nazi propaganda. If anything that kind of blatantly bigoted bullshit undermines the Palestinian cause by making it look like protests are motivated by hatred of Jewish people rather than solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Way to go, Mack. Right side of history.
I mean to be fair, fuck America.
Well his music is terrible but I got no problems with the causes he supports.
You cannot deny that Thrift Shop slaps hard.
Dude also fuckin loves sharks. Stockton Rush may have been a delusional psychopath, but he did at least help Macklemore see a fuckin cool shark.
That's how cool Macklemore is, I hate one billionaire one iota less. Just an iota. A small, negligible, but measurable amount
That was before he parted company from Ryan Lewis though, right?
