El album vencedor en la reciente edición de los Premios Grammy en la categoria Best Rap Album ha recaido sobre The Heist interpretado por Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Hace poco se ha publicado el videoclip oficial de la canción Can't Hold Us, contenida en dicho album, que está obteniendo un gran éxito en todo el mundo, y en España ha empezado a subir en las Lista de los 40 Principales.
Ben Haggerty, conocido por su nombre artístico como Macklemore, nació en Seattle el de 19 de junio de 1983. Es un rapero y músico estadounidense que comenzó su carrera como independiente el año 2000, a la edad de 17 años. Actualmente colabora con Ryan Lewis, amigo y productor, También con el violinista Andrew Joslyn y el trompetista Owuor Arunga.
El año 2012 consiguió gran popularidad con su canción de hip hop Thrift Shop. El vídeo musical de esta canción ha sido visto más de 466 millones de veces en YouTube, y alcanzó el número 1 en el Billboard Hot 100 con unas ventas superiores a los 2,2 millones de copias del single.
Macklemore lanzó su álbum debut The Heist el 9 de octubre de 2012, que debutó en el número 2 en la lista estadounidense Billboard 200 vendiendo 78.000 copias en su primera semana, y tal como he relatado al inicio ha conseguido el Premio Grammy al mejor album en la categoria de Rap, que aunque no es el estilo de música que más me gusta, merece todos mis respetos, por lo que he decidido dedicarle este post.
Can't Hold Us
[Intro:]
Ay, ay, ay
Good to see you, come on in, let's go
Yeah, let's go
Alright, alright
OK, uh, alright, OK
Alright, OK
Return of the Mack, get up!
What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn’t.
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit
Get up! Fresh out, pimp strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby. Sweater gang, nope, nope y’all can’t copy
Yup. Bad, moon walking, this here is our party, my posse's been on Broadway,
And we did it our way.
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
And yet I’m on.
Let that stage light go and shine on down,
Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style.
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds,
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
Trust me. On my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustler,
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen with the four track bussing
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushing
Labels out here,
Now they can’t tell me nothing
We give that to the people,
Spread it across the country
Labels out here,
Now they can’t tell me nothing
We give it to the people,
Spread it across the country
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us
Now, can I kick it? Thank you. Yeah I'm so damn grateful.
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But that’s what you get when Wu Tang raised you
Y’all can’t stop me, go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week
Raw. Tell me go up. Gone!
Deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome,
Caesar make you a believer. Now I never ever did it for a throne.
That validation comes from giving it back to the people. Now sing this song and it goes like
Raise those hands, this is our party
We came here to live life like nobody was watching
I got my city right behind me
If I fall, they got me. Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us
And so we put our hands up
And so we put our hands up
Wa oh oh oh wa oh oh oh wa oh oh
Let's go!
Na na na na na na na na (aha)
Hey
And all my people say
Na na na na na na na na (that's right, feels good)
Hey
And all my people say
Na na na na na na na na (it's alright)
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
And all my people say
Na na na na na na na na
Ma-ckle-more
[Album version ending:]
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us.
[Music video ending 2x:]
Let the night come, before the fight's won
Some might run against the test
But those that triumph, embrace the fight cause
Their fears then prove that courage exists
Hope [echo]
