Song of the Day: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Downtown [Music Video]

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are back! They just dropped the Westside Story-inspired music video for "Downtown", the presumable first single from their upcoming second album. I'm really, really not sure how I feel about this track. Too many gimmicky shades of "Thrift Shop", but dope in its own right for simply being different, original, and not shitty. It's TBD whether it turns about to be great or just not shitty. Take a listen.

Fuckery: Kids Bop Covering Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop"

Sigh. Whoever's idea it was to have kids remake rap songs probably made a lot of money. But they've created a monster and I hope they have trouble sleeping every night because they're racked with guilt over what they've done.

Original line: "Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty, The people like 'Damn, that’s a cold ass honkey'"

Fucked up kids bop version: "Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty, The people like 'Hey! The guy on the marquee'"

                                            ------------------------------------------- 

Original line: "Probably should've washed this, smells like R. Kelly sheets (Pissssss...) But shit, it was 99 cents!"

Fucked up kids bop version: "Probably should've washed this, smells like my baseball cleats (Ewwwwww...) But hey, it was 99 cents!"

                                            -------------------------------------------  

Original line: "I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies, second hand and I’ll rock that motherfucker, The built-in onesie with the socks on the motherfucker, I hit the party and they stop in that motherfucker"

Fucked up kids bop version: "I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies, second hand and I’ll rock that LIKE IT'S AWESOME, The built-in onesie with the socks on THAT REALLY AWESOME, I hit the party and they stop CAUSE I'M REALLY AWESOME"
