I’d been pronouncing it as “Mackle-more” but then I watched Todd In The Shadows’ new video about him, and I swear he pronounced it “Mack-le-more” for half the video, and now I don’t know which one is the real pronounciation and which one is the joke. I have no strong feelings about him as an artist one way or another but I’d feel like a dick if I’d been inadvertently clowning on him for over a decade.
Isn’t “Hey Macklemore, can we go thrift shopping” canon?
Perfect question for this community
It is Mack-la-more

Well, shit. Sorry Mr Macklemore :(
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
For the reddit-shy, link is a reddit thread from Macklemore announcing a new music video. Commenter asks how to pronounce it. He says “Mack-la-more. Should have picked an easier name”. Another commenter asks why the kid in Thrift Shop says it the other way. No response.
Thanks, didn’t think to explain
this is the type of content i’m here for
I say “Mac-El-More”
I’ll never change my ways
I say this when I want refills on my mac n cheese.
Mah Clay More
Are you sure that isn’t William Wallace looking for his sword?
Is the “clay” silent?
maklmór
according to his song, it is pronounced mac la uh uh uh uh more
Mac-L-more
So if you mean “el” like “el tigre chino”, then that’s correct. “L” just eliminates confusion.
I have no strong feelings about him as an artist
He makes super upbeat and stupid music 99% of the time, but he’s got a lot more artistic credibility than most.
Can’t remember if he was wealthy before music, or was just unsigned and smart about his money. But dude will at least stand by his principles even when it costs him money.
Maybe it’s 99% upbeat and stupid by airtime, but certainly not by content of the catalogue unless you’re saying upbeat or stupid. It’s the Lady Gaga move. Get the popular demand through the catchy, shallow/humorous stuff, use that to fund the deeper artistic endeavors.
I like the music but it’s not in my rotation, so I hear nothing about his principles. What’d he stand by?
I don’t have the full picture on his recent output, but he has been refreshingly, unapologetically direct about his support for Palestine.
For a long time I though he was just a dude named Mack, Mack L’Amor.
