Level 4 · 1 day agoMacklemore being banned while Kanye literally dropped a Hail Hitler song and still sold out stadiums tells you exactly what this was never about. Not hate speech. Pure politics.

Level 6 · 1 day agoSo Ed Sheeran performed at Kraft's wedding and now suddenly Macklemore gets booted from the tour right when Kraft makes one phone call? That's not a coincidence that's a favor being called in.
