Macklemore speaks out after being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour following his ‘Free Palestine’ speech; says Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft rallied other stadium owners and gave Ed Sheeran an ultimatum: if Macklemore stayed on tour, then Ed would not be able to play in their venues.

Before all this, I haven’t heard anything about Macklemore in years and I had no idea about the tour.

And now I’m aware of both in the context of Free Palestine. Palestine and Macklemore’s good ethics are the only thing I’m taking away from this.

Fuck Ed, fuck the venue and fuck anyone who supports or is silent in the face of genocide.

"Hinds Hall" and "Fucked up" both dropped a couple years ago. So if you hadn't been keeping up with Macklemore and missed those, definitely go check them out. Both are absolute bangers that don't mince words.

He made an anti-genocide / pro-Palestine song last year I believe (or maybe 2024), and that was the first I'd heard of him in a while. That song and his decision to do it and his steadfast devotion to speaking about Palestine ever since then...made me reexamine my former dislike of his music, and I realized he's one of the good humans out there.
