In 2016, Macklemore is using his platform to get out a political message more than ever. After kicking off the year with his 9-minute musing on the place of white people in the #BlackLivesMatter movement and then hopping on the sequel to YG's "Fuck Donald Trump" this summer, he released an indictment of Big Pharma called "Drug Dealer" earlier this month. This afternoon, he released a chilling music video that chronicles Macklemore's struggle to endure a painful withdrawl episode. He is joined by singer Ariana Deboo, who literally drowns in pills prescribed to her by her doctor.
The HNHH readership is divided on Macklemore. Is "Drug Dealer" moving or corny?
