Macklemore & Ryan Lewis win Best Cinematography and Best Hip-Hop Video VMAs

[Lee Saxon]

I love the Same Love video, in that it doesn't feel preachy or forced. The video, to me, feels natural, and heartfelt. It approaches the subject matter as an "obviously" type thing..

I suppose you didn't listen to the lyrics for same love? I think that has a pretty good message, one that you typically won't find in hip hop.

Same Love is fantastic, no doubt. And yeah, the rest of the album's lyrics are pretty good too (even Thrift Shop). It's the overproduction that gets me. I can't take anyone who uses this much autotune (less than many "pop divas," I'll grant you) too seriously. It's just so "Please, please love me! Put me on Top 20 radio!! I'll do anything!!"

These guys are the shizzit. They deserve it. Their message is real and matters. And the music makes you want to move!

Congratulations to everybody involved. You make magic.

If you take a look around the Dragon forum, you'll see that some that have had their hands on it have seen the red dot effect, and some haven't. Most recently, Gunliek specifically tested for it (T22, aimed straight at the sun) and couldn't reproduce. The common speculation is that the older dragons had the older OLPF and thus the red dots, and the newer Dragons making the rounds have a newer OLPF that does not produce the red dots.
