Yeah not sure why Pimm and Wain are lol'ing. While I'm not a big hip hop scenester, outside of Killer Mike and El-P I haven't had much to be excited about in the last year and the Macklemore/Ryan Lewis album is great, IMO.
Though, as a 30+ year music fan I am very familiar with the razor-thin line between fresh/good/cool and stale/lol/commercial, so I imagine this album may be walking that line.
It was crazy to see Mumford & Sons at Lolla in 2010 with 200 other people thinking they were amazing... and then by the time they played Coachella in 2011 there were 10 year olds wearing their merch because they loved the song they heard on Gossip Girl.
