Review: Macklemore x Ryan Lewis ft Ray Dalton- Can't Hold Us


THAT BEAT.

This has been one of my favourite songs from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' album: "The Heist" because it is just so perfect to get you pumped up and ready to say "fuck you" to anything that tries to rain on your parade.

Watching the live performances of this song got me more pumped. Macklemore exerts so much energy in each performance that it seems like he drank red bull with his coffee. He just moves so much and gets so into his performance that as a viewer, I'm just left in awe. 

This song also spotlights the talent that is Mr Ray Dalton. Even though in the performances he does seem awkward and meek, the guy can sing so just sit yo ass down. 

The production of this video is elaborate and very dramatic, I don't think we'll ever be rid of those damn fur coats, but shit it was 99 cents (you see what I did there)! It is lively, and in true Macklemore style, quite random. I didn't enjoy the video as much as I did with Thrift Shop but I'll have a good laugh at anyone who tries to make a parody of the video. I mean, come on, I don't think you can find a camel around here.

You should also check out Neon Cathedral and Same Love from The Heist.
Hell just listen to the whole album.
