Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have created one of the best albums of the year with The Heist. It is rare to find an album that I can listen to every song and not be dissapointed. Macklemore raps about real issues and things that are going on in today's society. He also throws in the fun songs like "Thrift Shop" and "White Walls". I mean who makes a song about thrift shopping? He touches on topics that are not touched on by other rappers such as equal rights, same sex marriage, and sobriety. This album is a great mix of funky, fun beats, as well as lyrics that have great depth and emotion. It is one of the reasons that Rap music is back and 2012 has been a great year for the genre. My favorite tracks would be "Gold", "Thrift Shop", "Same Love", "White Walls", and "Can't Hold Us".
