Macklemore - "The Town"

Diggin this new video by Macklemore, talkin bout Seattle hip-hop. While I grew up in a different scene three hours south, there was still a strong link between the cities of the Roses and Emeralds. Classic Seattle groups from the 90s like Source of Labor and Black Anger used to roll down for shows - in fact, I bought my first 12inch off Jonathan of SoL back in '95. And now in '09 I feel like I know half the heads in their scene, which is just keeps bubblin. Love seein the homies Khazm, Rahwa and Hollis here, as well as many others. You just get a sense from the song and the video of how deep and historic the Seattle scene is and continues to be, and how other parts of the globe need to stop fronting and check for these folks.
