Finishing off the video is a scene similar to that of the Ferris Buellar’s Day Off parade, filled with more leather, fur, afros, and mopeds. There is a motorcycle chariot, a stuffed moose welded on the front of a motorcycle, and many other strange props. The video depicts a lot of leather, fur and afros. The music video gives off a very 1980’s vibe. The song ‘Downtown’ is about his crew and himself cruising through the city on mopeds that were just recently bought in an impulsive decision. Next he jumps into one of his old habits and signature songs. No one really knows why he would send a text like that nor does anyone know why he would post it on Instagram. It was a strange text apologizing Kendrick and saying that he thought he was robbed. We all remember when he ran away with four awards that night, beating out Kendrick Lamar and then posting their text messages later that night on Instagram. He spits about the pretentious atmosphere and the gaudy aura, noting that the ceremony revolves around insecurities and viewer ratings. The first song, ‘Light Tunnels’, catapults the listener into an intense instrumental, which fades into Macklemore’s experience at the Grammy’s. Macklemore was able to acquire the skills of Mike Slap, Eric Nally, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz, Xperience, Krs-One, Dj Premier, Ed Sheeran, Leon Bridges, Chance The Rapper, Idris Elba, Anderson Paak, YG, Carla Morrison, & Jamila Woods. Upon scanning the features on Macklemore’s most recent album, one can only expect a tremendous amount of firepower. Straying from the musical norm as well as the social norm, Macklemore’s taste for eccentric apparel has helped to create his unconventional image. The duo has a history of alternating between gleeful and genuine. Seldom speaking on serious issues, but when he does, like in his hit song Same Love, the public loves it. Macklemore is mostly known for his pop songs but he does have some lyrical diamonds in the rough. Two years have passed since the pair won four Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Performance for their hit, Thrift Shop. With the announcement of This Unruly Mess I’ve Made, many will question the stylistic approach that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have taken with this new album.
