I’m trying to remember the exact context I used it in. but yeah, when I say someone is pulling a Macklemore that’s just speaking for someone else instead of letting them speak for themselves. Getting a lesbian to sing the hook on Same love feels like when comic dudes tell a story about strong women and get a woman to draw it.(it’s something, but it’s not the same thing as someone telling their own story) The goal is to get some eyes on diverse voices not just propping up the same kinds of dudes saying slightly different things.
It gets complicated because dude obviously means well but there’s something corny in it. like his need to point out how in love with pussy he is right at the start of that song. pssss.. no homo dude!
