A new song on hip-hop artist, Mackelmore's, newest album, The Heist, is anything but the same from this genre of the music industry. Same love is a song promoting marriage equality comes from a refreshing angle because as Mackelmore says himself within this piece, "if I was gay I would think hip-hop hated me". This song contrasts with the word "faggot" that is embedded in many popular hip hop songs, along the bandwagon of macho-ism. As for the song itself, Same Love, is a fantastic! As usual Mackelmore impresses us with his word play and rhyme and in this piece Mary Lambert's voice is a perfect addition; few reviews of the song disagree. The song's message, in addition to the proceeds, are in support of marriage equality so from this gay Mackelmore fan it receives 3 thumbs up!
