Default Macklemore Accused of Anti-Semitism



Quote:
Macklemore, an outspoken voice for open-mindedness in hip-hop, has rankled select fans by wearing a costume some have construed as anti-Semitic, The Daily Dot reports. At a surprise performance at the Experience Music Project Museum Friday night, the rapper performed with an oversized nose, bowl-cut wig and Hasidic-looking beard attached to his face. Following the performance, several people expressed their dismay with Macklemore on Twitter. The rapper responded to the outcry with a tweet, but did not express contrition.

"A fake witches [sic] nose, wig, and beard = random costume," he wrote. "Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody." A representative for Macklemore directed Rolling Stone to the rapper's tweet.

He's an idiot that's just trying to cash in on the gays, I'm glad he's shown himself to be a hypocritical fool.

c) his face

yes 'can't hold us' and 'thrift shop' are nice pop tunes but he's made out to be the saviour of a genre he has nothing to do with and no grounds to represent
