To me, this album has shown meaning and emotion unlike the rap albums/songs today, where rappers rap about absurd things. I feel like ‘Same Love’ is a little underrated because the message it delivers is so powerful and since America deals with accepting gay people. In January of 2014, ‘The Heist ‘ won the Grammy award for the Best Rap Album.

In August 2013, over one million copies were sold. In the first week of its release, 78,000 copies were sold. I feel like Macklemore would live in a mixed, liberal, and revolving society since he and Ryan Lewis made a song that endorses gay marriage and gay rights. One thing I find interesting is that all of the songs are similar in length, spanning between three to four minutes long or a little past that. This was the most powerful song on the album in my opinion because gay marriage is banned in many countries and that some people have a hard time accepting gay people because they are in love with someone of the same sex.īecause of how powerful ‘Same Love’ was, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were invited to sing this song in front of Ellen on the Ellen show. The theme of this song is acceptance because you should not be judged for who you are. Towards the end of the piece, the chorus singing dies down and the piano continues. The song starts off with a sad piano intro transitions into different beats and brass. The 5th song in this album, ‘Same Love’ talks about the legalization of gay marriage and that it is okay to be gay. Every time I listen to this song, I feel like I can accomplish anything, especially when hearing the line, “Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over”. The theme of this song is that nothing is impossible. This was the song that made me fall in love with Macklemore songs, one year ago. It transitions from an energetic to a sad song when the choir starts singing towards the end of the song. This song incorporates catchy beats and background piano in the beginning and later transitions into trumpet and choir towards the end of the song. His last line in the song, “like the ceiling can’t hold us”, was the most memorable line in the song and my favorite line. In the second song, ‘Can’t Hold Us’, Macklemore featured Ray Delton who stole the show because of his mesmerizing voice. The album transcends the electronic rhythm to incorporate more piano and violin sounds. These songs motivate me to work as hard as I can to accomplish something. In my opinion, songs like ‘Can’t Hold Us’ and ‘Ten Thousand Hours’ represent hard work and determination. Each song on this album tells a personal story and many of the lyrics are mesmerizing and stay in the listener's mind for a long time. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis split after nine years of working together and Macklemore called Lewis “my brother” because of their strong friendship and together, they have crafted some incredible songs like ‘Thrift Shop’ and my personal favorite, ‘Can’t Hold Us’. The album touches on some controversial topics like supporting gay marriage, which can be found in the song, ‘Same Love’, despite the fact that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are both straight. The Billboard 200 lists the week’s 200 most popular albums across all genres, ranked by sales. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. The Heist is one of two albums that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis made and is the most popular between the two. When was the last time you listened to an album that is meaningful and is inspiring? It’s been seven years since Seattle-based rapper, Macklemore and record producer Ryan Lewis launched their debut album, ‘The Heist’ which was recorded between 2009-2012 in Seattle Washington.
