3. The Vs. EP (2009)

“Ryan Lewis is improving as a producer too, while he certainly has had chops, I feel like he’s starting to grow out into more atmospheric beats and also honing in on some better hip-hop grooves. He’s always been very complimentary to Macklemore, but there are a few tracks where he really shines here.”

2. This Unruly Mess I’ve Made (2016)

“This album is filled with some good songs and a few completely unforgettable tracks. Fantastic production from start to finish and also incredible features (KRS-One, Melle Mel, chance the Rapper, Idras Elba). The Train, Light Tunnels, Downtown, Buckhot, Kevin, Growing Up, St Ides, are all great songs and worth listening. Not as strong, thoughtful, or fun as ‘The Heist’. Many people will give this album a low rating because a lot of people hate Macklemore, but in reality it’s an decent album.”

1. The Heist (2012)

“While I only thought my love of the heist was nostalgia after re-listening I can whole heartily say it is mainstream pop rap done right. On the album Macklemore tackles serious topics such as gay rights, drug and alcohol addiction and relationship issues. He also includes some generic party songs but as almost every track is paired with great production it means almost every track is a joy to listen to. While I understand people points that Macklemore is the token white rapper he shows he’s self aware of this in A Wake. Overall a pop rap album done to the highest quality it can be done.”
