Macklemore's 'White Privilege II' tackles race issues

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are discovering supporters - and pundits - for their new tune, "White Privilege II."

The new tune, which Macklemore talked about Friday on online networking, investigates prejudice, police shootings and the Black Lives Matter development.

"They're droning out, 'Dark Lives Matter,' yet I don't say it back," he says in the tune. "Is it OK for me to say? I don't have the foggiest idea, so I watch and remain before a line of police that appear to be identical as me."

The "Thrift Store" rapper reverberated his pundits who have gotten him out for being a white rapper, "You've misused and stolen the music, the occasion, the enchantment, the energy, the design," he says.

Macklemore dropped some huge names to which he has been thought about.

"The way of life was never yours to improve. You're Miley. You're Elvis. You're Iggy Azalea.

Fake thus plastic, you've heisted the enchantment."

Australian-conceived rapper Azalea wasn't upbeat. She reacted to a fan on Twitter with respect to the reference saying, "he shouldn't have spent the last 3 yrs having benevolent convos and taking pictures together at occasions and so on if those were his emotions."

"This melody is the result of a progressing dialog with performers, activists, and instructors inside of our group in Seattle and past," says the site for the tune.

Macklemore goes up against his "white benefit" in lines, for example, this, "We take all we need from Black society, yet will we appear for dark lives?"

Macklemore, who is no more interesting to feedback, confronted some backfire taking after his and Lewis' Grammy win for best new craftsman in 2014. At the time, Macklemore messaged kindred chosen one Kendrick Lamar, "You got looted. I needed you to win."

The new tune has touched off a large number of reactions on online networking both lauding and denouncing Macklemore.
