Why You Should Be Excited for Macklemore

As we all know, Macklemore will soon be gracing our campus with his presence.  Although a vast majority of us are probably already prepping our thrift-shop chic wardrobe, I hope this article convinces any stragglers who aren’t quite as excited to get pumped.  Here’s a list of reasons why Macklemore is better than you.

1. He’s really good at rapping.
2. His hair is both exciting and confusing.
3. He is apparently really into thrift shops.  Retro?
4. He seems like a pretty laid back dude.
5. He has inspired a lot of party themes.

6. He supports love, and we love anyone who loves love.
7. He sort of came out of nowhere.  Surprise?
8. His real name is Ben.
9. He really likes pizza. 
10. He refuses to sign with a mainstream label.  How original.
11. After struggling with drugs and alcohol, he is now on the path to sobriety.
12. He has been very public about his sobriety and is not ashamed to let his fans know both his high and low points.
13. His brother is an English teacher.
14. He thinks baseball is pretty legit.

15. Why not?
