Macklemore is great. Dude has been working his ass off for years in the Seattle scene and become the second person to get a number one tune as a truly independant artist. Pretty impressive.
Is he revolutionizing hip-hop? Of course not. But the dude makes some fun songs and also isn't afraid to sing about things that matter. "Same Love", as Troutman mentioned, is an incredibly powerful song. Also check out his song about his addiction to codeine:
