I'd call it funky melodic hip hop. Kinda like Outkast, Jurassic 5 or Blackaliscious to my ear, but I'm not intensely familiar with it.

Your description just made me interested in more than the politics.

You must've heard Thrift Shop when it was topping the charts, right? As much as the song was played so much that everyone got sick of it, it was for a damn good reason. The beat's a banger, the lyrics and video are funny. Though the beat itself is produced by his former musical partner Ryan Lewis. Macklemore wrote the lyrics though.

Not all of his songs are as memorable as the really big ones, but the man definitely has talent for entertainment, with or without politics being involved.

Yeah, he's good. This boost he's getting is well-deserved, musically. Plus his songs back up his statements, he's not just virtue-signaling or bandwagoning. The Heist is a great album.
