Billboard Fridays: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Eric Nally, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee & Grandmaster Caz - Downtown

O Silento continua na liderança das paradas de rap dos States mas o destaque da semana vai pro Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Infelizmente eles voltaram com uma musica pior do que a que eles faziam isso. Na sua tentativa de conseguir credibilidade no rap ele chamou umas lendas do rap (que sinceramente são irrelevantes na atualidade) como "features" do som dele, quando na real eles se quer tem versos, só fazem coro pro Macklemore em algumas partes. A letra é ridicula, falando alguma coisa sobre lambretas e tal, mas totalmente vazia. A sonoridade e o video são uma mistura ruim entre Uptown Funk, do Mark Ronson, e aquele lado que tenta ser mais épico da própria dupla. Sinceramente eu achei um desastre. A produção fica por conta do Ryan Lewis e vocês podem ver o clipe acima.

Silento is still on the lead of Billboard's Hot Rap Charts but this week's highlight goes to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Unfortunatelly they got here with a song worst than what they usually do. Since they got 0 credibility on the rap front they got together with some rap legends (that nowadays have no presence on the media whatsoever) to have "features" on the song, even though neither of them got even a single verse, doing nothing more than backing vocal which is a shame. The lyrics are awful, talking mostly about mopeds and nothing relevant or smart at all. The sonority of the song and the video are like a bad mix of Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk and the fake epic stuff Macklemore used to do. I think it's a disaster, but you can check the Ryan Lewis produced song above.
