Hey Shyann, I really appreciate it. Glad you found inspiration in my film. I hope you can share it with your friends and subscribe because there is more on the way!
This was beyond inspiring! Most definitely made me appreciate Macklemore's artistry on a wider scale. It's amazing to see someone work so hard and get so far as indie artist when the odds are stacked against you in this business. As a writer this was a great reinforcement that the road may be long but with a constant dedication and commitment to your craft you will begin to grow. Staying true to what you believe will take you such a long way. Favorited this video so anytime I'm feeling like my hard work is going unnoticed I'll have this as a reference. You did an excellent job Jabari.
well Macklemore and Ryan Lewis you guys just won 4 grammys you should feel very Proud and accomplished for all the hard work and dedication you have done. you inspire me so much Thanks Guys
Not hating just curious. I am Norwegian and I live in seattle. Bitch you didn't know Seattle has a huge Norwegian culture living in an area called Ballard about 5 minutes away from the Space Needle
tennismediadynamics I love that with the lyrics and the way he sings it you can feel that he has either experienced or really really cares about what he sings about. Like for an example in otherside. The way he's able to express and explain what it's like and really make you see what it was like for him is truly amazing. And even after all he's been through he's still able to almost always have a smile on his face. The most awesome thing about him is that if he wanted to he could sign up with the biggest labels around yet he still commits to doing it his way. He's so real and true and makes songs about exactly what he wants. And he's not scared to take chances like he did with same love,
4:32 This is our city, town pride, heart, blood, sweat, tears, I-5, North, South side, vibe, live, ride down these city blocks, and never will be stopped. My favorite line by Macklemore. I pretty much live on I-5. Great documentary
Thanks so much for all the love on the film thusfar everyone. Keep sharing it and getting the word out! Because you have been so supportive I'm uploading bonus footage that didn't make the doc soon! As soon as all this Sandy stuff gets cleared up and I can get on a flight home to upload it! Subscribe to make sure you see it! INDIE LIFE!
There's something extremely admirable about these grassroots artists. The song "Same Love" is what brought me here. I wish big things for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
This video is nothing short of inspirational. Reminds us that in order to get somewhere in life as in passion, career or money, we NEED to make a sacrafice and to never give up. Respect
I just bought "The Heist" this week and I am very impressed with it. Greatest album I have listened to in a while and I can't stop listening to it. After watching this documentary, I am even more blown away by the work of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
Sabari,I really gotta thank you for doing this. Macklemore and Ryan are the best duo in music Ive seen in a long time, and I really had absolutely no clue how much work has gone into making their dreams come true. It also gives a more realistic look into the hours musicians, especially starting musicians, put into getting their material noticed and out there. I think more people need to see this. Thank you.
This was amazing! Thanks for making it. Macklemore, there's so much support for you from all my friends. We freaking love you, it's amazing that you're still independent, so inspirational. Thanks for all you do.
Yea, really couldn't have planned that it was just the stars aligning, we've known each other for a while but this was the time the world needed to see something from us
"Dedication, Sacrifice and Believing in yourself" -these are things we hear all the time. But, few of us put those words into action.” - Jabari - Beautifully said!
So much respect for someone who can stand up and say "I am an addict". Am hooked on these two guys and this documentary is a very interesting and I look forward to getting to see them in the UK.
I watched the first 25 seconds, and its already pretty amazing that he says he just wants his music to touch millions of people and give them something to connect to. Just to let you know, dude...you've done it.
Can't think of much that will keep me away. I have huge respect for people who go it alone and I know how hard it is as I spent about a 18 months helping out bands touring in the UK by driving for them/giving them somewhere to sleep/cooking etc etc etc.
Keep the documentaries coming! Real inspirational, makes me want to keep putting 110 percent into what I believe in and what I want to do no matter what I have to sacrifice.
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, he is very inspiring and that's why we chose to do a film on the guys....please subscribe because I have some more docs coming that will inspire you as well!
I usually don't like rap at all but Macklemore and Ryan... How can you not love them? They are talented really living for their arts and you can feel it when they are on stage. They have a message to deliver, their songs have a meaning! They are truely amazing!
As an aspiring journalist watching doc's like this are what gives me the inspiration to persue my dreams, no matter haw many times I hear that it's a dying industry. Jabari, you did a fantastic job in both coverage and delivering a huge impact emotionally. As someone who was a little skeptical of Macklemore at first, this has helped me see that he is one of the most genuine artists out there these days. Absolutely brilliant job. Keep it up.
Shared it on facebook! Originally saw it from a friend who posted it on facebook, and then someone shared the video after I posted it! Your stuff is getting around!
Never heard of Macklemore until my buddy forwarded me a link of the Thrift Shop video. After watching other videos, I've bought multiple other songs..Otherside and Wing$ are on repeat in my truck pretty much every day. Huge amount of respect for him. Great documentary.
I can appreciate where they are coming from. Being true to your art is its own reward, but figuring out how to make it your business, is the icing on the cake! #MuchRespect
Your views and edits are crazy man... I just finding that I love photography and film and editing.. You and Ryan Lewis are some inspirational dudes.. keep it up people are watching.
macklemore you have inspired me to be who i am today you are the reason people wanna hear my story and i get your message of your music and i love your music
I was at the Mariner's home opener when he played my oh my! and since then he has been my favorite music artist and a major influence on my life and recovery. Thank you Macklemore
Jabari homie proud to see ur growth and great work with the first episode of Jabari Presents. Cant wait to see where this journey brings you. I didnt even know about mackelmore and ryan lewis. Now i will download his content. Great job man 4real.
Jabari, man, this was great! This documentary was amazing! I respect Ryan&Macklemore alot more now. And this documentary taught me some valuable stuff on work ethic and how if you don't get signed it's not the end of the world....you just gotta work hard and strive and you will make it. Great work, man!
thank you for this. i hope this gets a lot of publicity. I've only recently found macklemore and ryan but can all ready call myself a big fan of them and now a big fan of your work :D
I'm not saying this just because i'm a major fan of the two , but i met them in an Instore in Dublin and they are the two most genuine people in the world. They have changed my outlook on music , great documentary.
Seattle stand up!!! So much raw talent in the northwest its about damn time someone from the town gets on the map. Not to mention these boys are keeping it REALLY real unlike most of TV and the radios garbage. Keep doin yalls thing... Mad respect
Macklemore has just breathed life back into real hip hop, when artist were all about "keeping it real" how much more real can you get. Big love for Macklemore from New Zealand.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are both very well spoken people. They came to my hip hop class last year and spoke about the meaning and art behind it all, it was amazing. When you listen to them talk, you can hear their passion in what they do. Also, I'm so glad their putting Seattle on the map!
You captured JUST the right moment in their career before breaking through worldwide, and I can imagine that it was not that easy to get them for that. Great work, Jabari :)
Really enjoyed this documentary! Love the truth this guy speaks, so down to earth! Would have been a great experience getting to do this with these guys.
What a great guy. I love the fact that he is so open about himself and just presents himself the way he is, un-corrupted and unaffected like the rest of the artists out there. It would be an honor to meet Macklemore someday :) #respect from australia!
Just like the song Jimmy Iovine.
"Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked."
- Macklemore
That's the truth.
