Review

"The Heist," the debut album from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis that dropped in 2012, totally shakes up the hip-hop game with its fresh vibes. Made in Seattle over a span of three years, it highlights Macklemore's razor-sharp wit and mad storytelling skills. From the opener "Ten Thousand Hours" to mega-hits like "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us," this album blends clever lyrics with ridiculously catchy hooks.

Covering themes from Macklemore's love of art and music to his personal aspirations, the duo mixes infectious beats with smart lyrics, standing out in the rap crowd. "The Heist" got heaps of praise, scoring a solid 74 on Metacritic and hitting number two on the Billboard 200, eventually selling over 1.4 million copies in the U.S. It even snagged a Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2014, proving Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s unique talent and solidifying their influence in the 2010s hip-hop scene. - Aiden
