The dude is so god damn lucky! Hes rich fron sucess with macklemore still he can live a normal life without paparazzi's watching his every move and people stopping him for autographcs and pictures
+Kathy Le (TheBanhbao11) he's got the best life. he's rich from the success of macklemore's songs and he doesn't even have paparazzi's spying his every move
AlanTortellini I mean I think in that case it is more macklemore's lyrics and personality that people are drawn to but with a lot of other artists I agree
If i were ryan lewis, after she said the guy in the pic is C+, he should've then asked "what about me? what grade do you think i am?" XD the answer would be real interesting and funny XD
What does Ryan Lewis do? - Well just about everything... There is a reason Macklemore was rapping for damn near a decade and wasn't famous. Ryan Lewis is the brains behind the entire operation. He not only makes the beats, but he also shot and directed many of the music videos, he does the majority of the creative side of things, he produced and engineered the album. Really Macklemore is just an average rapper who was lucky enough to meet Ryan Lewis.
Well its more like 50/50, without macklemores rapping and especially his charisma, Ryan lewis would still be nobody aswell. Macklemore is the front man...kind of like the president or something.. hes not the only one calling the shots but hes the face everyone recognizes...same with films...the director usually does most of the work but the actors get the most fame
It's kinda like this band I listen to called I Set My Friends On Fire, there are only two members in the band and one makes the music and the other just sings. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are similar that way. One's the brain and the other is the heart, without one another, the music would just be dead.
No. Macklemore writes the text, and he also produced two other albums and a mixtape without Ryan Lewis. "Language of my world" and " open your eyes" and many fans of macklemore says that he was better without Ryan Lewis (which I don't completely agree, the songs are more catchy with Lewis) so don't speak like you're an expert of macklemore if you don't really know him
Without Ryan Lewis, Macklemore would have flopped. Ryan Lewis, does EVERYTHING for the duo! He's the DJ, musician, record producer, videographer, photographer, graphic designer and music video director aswell as the producer!! The guy does EVERYTHING! He also has his own music which is honestly awesome (might just be me) tracks like Fake Empire - Ryan Lewis!
Phill Jhonson Meh. You still have a shitload of money but you are easily able to walk down the streets without disguising yourself and no one noticing you. Also he looks good so women are no problem anyway.
Ryan Lewis writes the music, makes the beats, produces. He is the backbone of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The Mack knows he'd be nothing without Ryan's talent, so even if Ryan doesn't sing or anything, his name still shows up in everything (and rightfully so!).
Actually macklemore came out by himself his been putting out music by himself for years but hooked up with Ryan Lewis and had great chemistry and started working together macklemore is the rapper and Ryan Lewis makes the beats I'm sure macklemore writes his own raps and Ryan prob helps with concept of chorus and stuff...but yea if you listen to them you would know most of his songs are about what happend in his life....
Mostly everything ! He's the king ! He produces beats , the DJ , produces music videos , he's the hype man , he's playing drums sometimes. :)) RESPECT FOR THE KING he's .
Macklemore is the "front man" he is the lyrics and the persona behind the music. While Ryan Lewis is a producer and live DJ. Lots of respect for that guy.
You must not live in a city. People are buried in their phones and headsets. You could have a train full of people and nobody talking nor making eye contact.
SavageToaster whenever someone says anyone is trash at rapping I usually tell that person to go listen to their music open mindedly for 3 hours then come back and tell me there opinion then
Wait what at first I thought they were different people but then I realised macklemore and ryan Lewis always come together but I've never seen ryan Lewis so I thought Ryan Lewis was Macklemore's real name lol
At least I can answer 3 things about him, he's a dj, music producer and he directs music videos. But honestly, I won't recognize him without Macklemore😂😂😂
Ryan produces the tracks. If you haven't noticed, the beats aren't just generic hip hop beats, they're unique, very well produced. But it's understandable, people aren't used to seeing producers names. Years ago people were confused as to why Calvin Harris was getting credit for something he wasn't singing on. Everyone has to understand producing is very hard, it involves years of training your ears, not to mention composing and sound engineering. You can't really call these people dumb, they're not being arrogant, they're just confused because they hear a rapper on a rap song, this other guy standing there? Who's that?. I will however say they should think a little harder. Process of elimination, if Ryan doesn't rap or sing, he must produce the tracks
To be honest, Macklemore wouldn't be nearly as popular as he is in the mainstream right now if it weren't for Ryan Lewis. Poor guy :'( Then again, how many casual music fans would recognise any full time producers besides maybe DJ Khaled if they saw one?
Its kind of amazing how people still don't understand the role of a producer in 2014. Do they think the music behind the rapper or singer just makes itself? Its just as important (or in my opinion more important) as the vocals. What would Michael Jackson's Thriller have been without Quincy Jones?
Lol no idea who Ryan Lewis is but this shows he's got a great sense of humor. After watching this I still wouldn't be able to spot him. But I'm a New Yorker, I can't spot anybody. :) Also I just realized something... This is why Superman's disguise was just glasses!!!!
I love that Ryan Lewis can actually embrace and make fun of this.
The dude is so god damn lucky! Hes rich fron sucess with macklemore still he can live a normal life without paparazzi's watching his every move and people stopping him for autographcs and pictures
+theblackbull55 I got a picture with him on December 4th at the Forum in Inglewood after Cali Christmas yeah!! I told him that I´m from Austria
+theblackbull55 thats exactly what Sia wants and he has all there, but I'm pretty sure he makes less money than her!
theblackbull55 I was thinking that
ikr!
He does have a lot of talent, he may not song but still
at least he can live a normal life where the media doesnt follow him around or fans keep stopping him to get a picture
+Kathy Le (TheBanhbao11) he's got the best life. he's rich from the success of macklemore's songs and he doesn't even have paparazzi's spying his every move
+Kathy Le (TheBanhbao11) I know! He is really lucky, he has cash and no annoying paparazzi!
I know he's the luckiest!^.^
+Kathy Le (TheBanhbao11) He's like the other three members of The Killers or the other three members of Coldplay
+Johnny Mac or everybody from the Gorillaz
even macklemore doesnt know who ryan lewis is
Troy Bailey haha
Wow! No way, you got the joke! Congratulation! You are so unbelievably dense!
Jade T staph
Im pretty sure he was joking about that no one can make alot of songs with someone and not know what they do
even Ryan Lewis doesn't know who Ryan lewis is.
It's so sad how ignorant people are about producers when people like Ryan Lewis are 75% of the reason why Macklemore is famous.
amen
AlanTortellini I mean I think in that case it is more macklemore's lyrics and personality that people are drawn to but with a lot of other artists I agree
AlanTortellini really i didn't know that, I'm the one of them
AlanTortellini 75% of people don't give a shit about Macklemore or Ryan Lewis
but his songs would be nowhere as popular without the catchy beats
If i were ryan lewis, after she said the guy in the pic is C+, he should've then asked "what about me? what grade do you think i am?" XD the answer would be real interesting and funny XD
Well actually I think she will realise its him
Ryan Lewis is the Dre to Eminem for Macklemore.
I guess you can say that
no..
the fact that they're dj's are the only similarity. Dre Started Eminem.
yeah blackprez101 has a point. Ryan did help Macklemore blow up though
Except everyone knows who Dr. Dre is. The muthafucka made "The Chronic".
Who doesn't know who Dre is seriously ?

I know right
I wonder how Ryan Lewis really feels about this?
who’s that?
He's the one who does the computer stuff for Maklemore
Who?
I think he's fine with it I means he's getting the profit from it
@Nisha
Well, it's not about the profit tho.
Ryan Lewis is a straight up A+
+Josie Mcdevitt Preach it
exactly
True
He's very attractive in person! The photos don't do him justice

Pulls off the Glasses like Clarke Kent
+Tunji Legba Exactly haha
ikr
+Tunji Legba proof that glasses can hide your identity, though, no one knew ryan lewis in the first place xD
Bett Men true
I think even without the glasses, these people wouldn't recognize him hehe
Without Ryan Lewis, Macklemore would have flopped.

+DeclanD thanks for that info...I'm off to google Fake Empire - Ryan Lewis. Thanks for growing my world
except for the rapping so he doesn't do everything
NsG Shadow he helps macklemore write the raps
I thought Ryan Lewis was the black guy in the thumbnail lmao
Invigorate damn you 😂😂😂😂
I thought Ryan Lewis was the black guy. My life has been a lie...
Ditto.
Yeah, me too :D I checked, his name is Ray Dalton
Slow moment "huh"
Me toooo lawl
OMG! I thought that too at first! I thought I was the only one!
These are so awkward, but so fun to watch xD
i think Ryan is more attractive tbh
Etta they are both handsome though!
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
it sucks to be the "other guy"

Icy Sheesh
very true
ICY true, I think I'd rather be Ryan Lewis. And they both have the same networth according to celebritynetworth so...
Not really he getting dollars while people not knowing him. That’s the best ever and he getting his credit
i still don't know what he does
+MCCOMINATOR He writes, make the beats and produce.
+audrey antonelo So he does something with computers, right?
he's everything except rapping, he helps write Mack's stuff, he produces, he compose the beat.
MCCOMINATOR me neither, hence going deeper and deeper in the comments ocean 🙈
@@austinfull8941 on wikipedia it says he is also a rapper. I dont know any songs where he raps though
Macklemore should have had the ultra jewish disguise and wig at the end.
pure savagery my nigga
I never understood how easy it was for Clark Kent to conceal his "Superman" ego with just a pair of glasses, until I watched this video
I'm a huge fan of Ryan Lewis, I would freak out if I see him
+Morgan Henry Allen (HenryMorgan) I met him Decemer 4th in Inglewood, you can see the picture on Instagram, it´s the same name as here
hehe i saw it
This is epic.. And Ryan Lewis is really likeable.. :)
In related news, Ryan Lewis leaves Macklemore
are they gay partners ?:))
***** no
***** No
***** Yes
***** Maybe
Still dont know what ryan lewis does
Gabriel Chaix Producer
Gabriel Chaix he does like everything apart from the rapping and writes with Macklemore
Gabriel Chaix The fact that he helped write same love makes it much important for me to know who he is.
I feel bad for the guy
So what *does* he do?
David M. Johnston He's a dj, music producer, and helps write the songs.
Lebron James Thanks
he produces macklemore's music
to be honest with you .. i have no idea
Mackelmore is just the voice, there is more to the songs than that. He creates the music. (produces)
OMG dat red haired woman at 2:36 was beautiful !
😊 thank you
Indeed very beautiful.
I thought so too. I'm pretty sure that's why Ryan Lewis only asked her who she thought was more attractive and was stoked when she named him.
Good looking = red hair
Ugly = ginger
i giggle when i see these posts. I agree though, nice to see a natural looking beauty.
MsDmacD often when its a male = ginger, female = red hair.
sad, but true.
its so funny how nobody notice the little but so important people behind others success he's so chiled and handles it really well
michelinho197 true
He's one cool, talented dude.
lol at macklemore at the end
I'm with the redhead, I think Ryan is more attractive.
I think the redhead is more attractive
What does Ryan Lewis do? They never said.
Beat maker for the songs
Everything else.
DJ, producer, engineer,mixing, director of their videos, if you pay attention you can see him in them too.
Everything but lyricks!
he's the back up dancer.....
2:25 awkward moment right there
The last one😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
I love it when they do this. Funny as hell.
Ryan Lewis writes the music, makes the beats, produces. He is the backbone of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The Mack knows he'd be nothing without Ryan's talent, so even if Ryan doesn't sing or anything, his name still shows up in everything (and rightfully so!).
pretty sure ben writes some of the songs as well
Actually macklemore came out by himself his been putting out music by himself for years but hooked up with Ryan Lewis and had great chemistry and started working together macklemore is the rapper and Ryan Lewis makes the beats I'm sure macklemore writes his own raps and Ryan prob helps with concept of chorus and stuff...but yea if you listen to them you would know most of his songs are about what happend in his life....
alboney selemafai Macklemore has credited Ryan for revising lyrics
This is great 😂😂
I doubt even Macklemore could pick Ryan Lewis out of a police line up of college hipsters.
the end got me so bad😂😂😂😂
This was so funny I wish the videos were longer
why didn't they show the last guy the photo?
flojoho cuz that was macklemore ya bingus
that's the joke ;)
flojoho bc thats Kanye
Jan Nelle Kanye is black
seriously what does he actually do
produces beats for macklemore
BLACK KID NAMED MATTHEW ohh he's like that chiddy bang guys
emmanuel uanseru Yeah, the awkward white dude who was in all the videos but nobody had a clue as to who or what he did.
Mostly everything ! He's the king ! He produces beats , the DJ , produces music videos , he's the hype man , he's playing drums sometimes. :)) RESPECT FOR THE KING he's .
he is the reason for the success
Macklemore is the "front man" he is the lyrics and the persona behind the music. While Ryan Lewis is a producer and live DJ. Lots of respect for that guy.
SPOILER: How did Macklemore NOT get mobbed at the end? No disguise at all, either.
It's New York.
New Yorkers don't pay attention to people on the street or sidewalk... Trust me, I used to live there...
TheLoDown TRUE
You must not live in a city. People are buried in their phones and headsets. You could have a train full of people and nobody talking nor making eye contact.
Maybe people realized they were filming and respected that
This might be top 3 undercover celebrity pranks 😂😂😂
It's nice that RL is okay with his lesser popularity, and can make fun at himself. Awesome dude.
I still don't know what he does...
lollz
this has to be the best..
i still don't know what he does!😂😂
pretty funny video.
nice idea - love it
This goes to show that Clark Kent CAN hide his identity of superman with glasses :)
2:52 I love how excited he got lmao
Right after the video was over was i the only one who still said "But what does he do tho"
He looks like G-Eazy.
WeabooTrash exactly
WeabooTrash g easy is shit at rapping
SavageToaster whenever someone says anyone is trash at rapping I usually tell that person to go listen to their music open mindedly for 3 hours then come back and tell me there opinion then
noo , g-easy look like himm
Forget Ryan Lewis. That REDHEAD 2:33 though.
lol the crowd don't know who he is they just cheer at everything
Wait what at first I thought they were different people but then I realised macklemore and ryan Lewis always come together but I've never seen ryan Lewis so I thought Ryan Lewis was Macklemore's real name lol
CraftyWorld lol Macklemores real name is Ben Haggerty
So what does he do now?! Still witing for an answer!
Ryan Lewis just pulled of a Clark Kent to Superman disguise :P
Damnnn that red head was stunning
The redhead at the end looked like vanilla ice cream with strawberry syrup on top. She looks delicious.
2:53 I like when Ryan Lewis howling like wolf.
"No disguise at all" He's got fuckin' Harry Potter glasses on, what's your definition of diguise, Jimmy Fallon?
probably when Drake had a wig and fake beard.
those are his real glasses! .-.
PhobaphobicKid Fallon and Kimmel are two different people? Lol
That's hysterical. The bit where macklemore said he didn't know what ryan lewis does made me smile
that redhead is GORGEOUS
At least I can answer 3 things about him, he's a dj, music producer and he directs music videos. But honestly, I won't recognize him without Macklemore😂😂😂

I loved Macklemore's cameo in this! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG that redhead. I normally don't go above 720p, but she's worth the 1080p full screen.
Gotta love Ryan Lewis for his sense of humor with this one!
"To be honest with you, no idea" -Macklemore
""To be honest with you, no idea" -Macklemore" - Parker Domingue
Jimmy Fallon and team behind him are absolute geniuses.
im in love with the redhead ;)
Watched this so many times. It is impossible not to smile when the guy says "OMG it's Ryan Lewis"
The Roger Klotz cameo at the end was great
Ryan is such a cutie and a good sport for doing this little Q&A lol
To be honest, Macklemore wouldn't be nearly as popular as he is in the mainstream right now if it weren't for Ryan Lewis. Poor guy :'( Then again, how many casual music fans would recognise any full time producers besides maybe DJ Khaled if they saw one?
I actually appreciate Ryan Lewis more than Macklemore, he's one of the best producers of this decade
dude is the brains and mac is the face lol... both equally talented for sure!!!!
Its kind of amazing how people still don't understand the role of a producer in 2014. Do they think the music behind the rapper or singer just makes itself? Its just as important (or in my opinion more important) as the vocals. What would Michael Jackson's Thriller have been without Quincy Jones?
honestly this is one of my favorite videos on the internet.
Just looked up "What does Ryan Lewis do?" Try it. He does a lot.
'pakege deal' had me laughing, It's a perfect description for Ryan.
the redhead. damn
That ending with Macklemore was fucking hilarious XD
What does he do? Lol serious question
Nicolas Velez producer
Nicolas Velez also no idea
Nicolas Velez He's a dj.
He's a producer, writer, DJ and he plays the piano in the shows
Ryan's got that JT hairstyle on ahaha, loved this vid!
people didn't know who he was or what he did, I'm here not knowing the sound of his voice
1:30. "umm, to be honest, I'm more on the Macklemore side than Ryan Lewis . . . . . "
He should of asked people that didn't recognize him in the photo, "who do you think is more attractive, me or Ryan Lewis"?
hahahaha the red head chick is the best! ... "he's the back up!" boom! in your face Ryan Lewis.
For a long time i thought ryan lewis is macklemore then i searched a lil bit nd i still dnt knw what does he do 😂
makes the beats
okay so I now understand the whole superman glasses thing and Hanna Montana wig thing and how that can disguise someone. IT MAKES SENSE
Ryan Lewis is the backup guy who uses computers to assist Macklemore.
"C+!!"
Oh sweetie, you are a definite A+ in my book
That red head is sooo hoooot.
"C+ I'll take it!"
Okay, I like this dude.
Lol no idea who Ryan Lewis is but this shows he's got a great sense of humor. After watching this I still wouldn't be able to spot him. But I'm a New Yorker, I can't spot anybody. :) Also I just realized something... This is why Superman's disguise was just glasses!!!!
This had me dyin! omg. Give Ryan Lewis some credit hahaha
Last time I checked Eminem was a...rap artist? o_o
Oh hi!
