Macklemore | Where Are They Now? | The End Of Musical Career, Rehab & Golf

When I look back at the year 2012 there are a few things that
immediately come to mind – Christopher Nolan’s completion of his
Batman trilogy with “The Dark Knight Rises”, anxiety over the Mayan
prophecy that in December of that year, the entire world was
apparently going to come to an end, and my total and complete
inability to escape the smash hit song, “Thrift Shop” by Ryan Lewis
and Macklemore. Trust me, folks, I tried to ignore it, but somehow
that song ended up one of the highest-selling tracks of the year.
Macklemore and his musical partner Ryan Lewis would even go onto
win the Grammy for Best Rap Album and it seemed like this hip-hop
duo was on track for total and complete worldwide fame. But
flash-forward a handful of years and these two have split. What’s
more – Macklemore has officially become something of a joke in the
music industry, and, like many of us, has had a particularly
difficult year while stuck at home under lockdown and struggling
with personal demons. So, what happened to Macklemore and will he
ever regain his spot as one of the most popular hip-hop artists
around? Today, we’ll do our best to answer that very question.
