This has already been a Platinum-selling top ten hit in Canada for the Canadian rapper. Goes for adds on April 2. ( My post on it.) |

I really like this song! Hopefully it has some success like Thrift Shop did. I doubt it will be as big of a hit, but hopefully it does some damage.

I like this, and just realized David Myles is from Fredericton(where I live). Mind blown. Would be cool if it did something.

I listened to his album a month ago (after someone told me that Drake wasn't the only Canadian rapper out there), and for the most part I was pleasantly surprised. This is far from the best track on the album, but neither is "Thrift Shop" the best song on The Heist.
And no offense to Classified, who is very talented, but I suspect that "Thrift Shop"'s success is the only reason this is being released here. If he plays his cards right, Macklemore might end up bringing white rappers into the mainstream the way Eminem kinda-but-not-really did with Bubba Sparxxx and Paul Wall. In some circles, pop-leaning hip hop made by white artists is still unfairly dismissed as "frat rap", but Macklemore has shown us that we should reserve that label for those who truly deserve it, like Asher Roth.
Or maybe I'm wrong and Macklemore is just a one-album wonder and Classified will do nothing on the US charts and everything will remain the same as it always was. And I'd be perfectly fine with that too.

I've been loving this for awhile. Hopefully it smashes!

I hated Classified's past singles like "The Day Doesn't Die" and "This Ain't Classy" but this is actually decent, I hear it all the time on Canadian stations though...

Wow. Interesting. If this smashes, they could be the first artists from Nova Scotia to hit it big in the US pop charts since Sarah McLachlan. Of course, Sarah lists Vancouver as her base of operations whereas Classified and David are both is a Haligonian.
I'm not familiar with the song admittedly but it would be neat to see!

David Myles is from New Brunswick. Not sure if there has ever been an act from NB that struck it big on the US pop charts.

Great to see it still gaining! Could reach the Top 50 pretty soon based on that update.
