And it's 2024 still watching??

ray dalton's voice is something else man 😍😍😳

Ray Dalton is actually really impressive. Very few people can smash out a song live and have it sound identical to the album record

I love Macklemore's energy, and Ray Dalton's voice is insane

This guy should be the Super Bowl halftime performer.

Honestly can’t believe it’s been 9 years already

10 years later, this still gives me goosebumps. Masterpiece 🔥

theres something about this version that just has so much life and soul in it and i love it soooo much

I love how much Mackelmore is enjoying singing this song. You can tell he's passionate.

In my last year of university, when I was writing my thesis to finish my Masters in civil engineering I started to work. For 6 months I woke up everyday at 6 a.m. so I could accomplish the deadline. Every morning I listened this music to get some motivation for that hard period. It was hardwork but in the end I made it. Graduated with 17/20. Never give up!

10 years later, doesn't get old.

Imagine hearing this for the first time- before anyone else and thinking, wow this is going to blow up

7 years later still gives me goosebumps

This is what music should be, they all just look like they're enjoying the hell out of themselves and not just doing it cause their label is making them.

Still here cause never left ❤️😁

Who’s watching again in March 2021?

I love macklemore so much!! Not just because he's a great rapper but also because of his personality. He looks like a real down to earth person and look at him!! He's jumpin' around just like a kid!!! His energy is unbelieavable!!!

I wonder what makes Macklemore so damn happy and lively? Whats his philosophy and where can I learn it?

You can see in this video that something magical happened in that room. You can see on their faces they know they are creating a timeless masterpiece. You can almost feel the electric energy, you can almost share their elation because they know they are doing something really f**** great. Everything put together beautifully. Each of them feeding off the other's energy. Just brilliant

It’s sounds so good on live, even more than the original. LOVE THIS.

I'm laughing cause macklemore's energy is crazy!!!!!! I love him!

When I was in Afghanistan, this was the song I listened to, on repeat, while I was on the treadmill, not only is it an eternal iconic banger, but it helped me feel hope, and it kept me running literally and emotionally.

Being a fan of this guy aged very well 🍉💟

2:48 when the both of them are jumping up and down with hands in the air when Ray is singing is one of the greatest things👌🏼❤️

How much passion and soul they put into the song!!! Even better live 😍😍😍

The way Macklemore performs is so cute. He raps and jumps around with smiles on his face so passionately. It's like he is immersed in the music, and to him there is only music at that moment. I don't see that a lot.

Not even a Macklemore fan, and this is the best KEXP live in studio I’ve seen to date.

We have entered a brand new era where humanity is one.

This is the song of our people!

I love how macklemore looks so happy when singing

8 years on to the date and this is still rocking. This song is ageless!!!

2021 and still such an incredible music and performers 🥺💕 Macklemore ❤️

Macklemore…❤🇵🇸🍉✊🏼 Stay great brother!

Damn, what an enjoyment and it's like 2018. The energy in this song is at high level. Love it. Shout out to Macklemore

Return of the Mack Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't Looking for a better way to get up out of bed Instead of getting on the Internet And checking a new hit me, get up Thrift shop, pimp-strut walkin' Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby Sweater game, nope nope, y'all can't copy Yup, Bad, moonwalking, this here is our party My posse's been on Broadway, and we did it our way Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones Into everything I record to it and yet I'm on Let that stage light go and shine on down Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit, hustlin' Chasing dreams since I was fourteen With the four-track, bussin' Halfway cross that city with the backpack Fat cat, crushing labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothin' We give that to the people, spread it across the country Labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothin' We give it to the people, spread it across the country Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Now, can I kick it? Thank you Yeah, I'm so damn grateful I grew up really wanting gold fronts But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you Y'all can't stop me Go hard like I got a 808 in my heartbeat And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed To a great white shark on Shark Week, raw! Tell me go up, gone Deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see And my girl, she wanna see Rome Caesar'll make you a believer Nah, I never ever did it for a throne That validation comes from giving it back to the people Now sing a song, and it goes like Raise those hands, this is our party We came here to live life like nobody was watching I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me Learn from that failure, gain humility And then we keep marching, I said... Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us And so we put our hands up And so we put our hands up Oh, oh, oh, oh... Na na na na, na na na na Hey-ee ay-ee ay-ee ay ay-ee ay-ee, hey And all my people say Na na na na, na na na na Hey-ee ay-ee ay-ee ay ay-ee ay-ee, hey And all my people say Na na na na, na na na na Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And all my people say Na na na na, na na na na Mack-le-eh-eh-eh-eh-more! Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us

March 2020 with coronavirus who is watching?

6 years later and the Mac is still so very legit. Home grown, independent all the way to the top, real, a positive message, great rapping, and what a back-up "track" with real Seattle musicians.

People might like Eminem more but I love Macklemore. His songs makes me feel happy. It's not always about speed. I like his flow and unmatched passion.

the real song just feels so much better cause of the voice lol

January 2020, who's listening.

he is a very enthusiastic rapper he enjoys every line

he's like a excited little kid, this is so cute lmao

2024 and still fresh 👌

When my 7 old heard Ray, she said "I had no idea a man's voice could be so amazing".

The passion they have is un real!!

Ray Dalton is very, very good

Damn 9 years flew away so fast

April 2024?

I love how KEXP hasn't monetized their videos! No ads here baby POWER TO THE PEOPLE and the MUSIC!

Ray Dalton's voice holy shit

FANTASTIC! UNBELEIVABLE! It's not dated at all! The Passion is so strong it transcends time and will go past this generation

this version is so fire.

I love how Macklemore is so into this song. Respect. He feels his music.

This is such a pure performance. It makes my eyes tear and warms my heart every time, just like the 1st time I watched it. That is good, soulfilled music done right 🎶🎶🎶❤

Has anyone said anything about that incredible, life-changing pink scarf? No one? Really?

Macklemore saying “new song” really aged this video

Ray dalton and Macklemore make the perfect duo

2019, still "Can't Hold Us"

10 years later and still legendary anyone watching 2022?

Top 3 KEXP alltime performances The buildup by itself is insane, and then you have that small bridge out of nowhere with the most intense and beautiful execution... this song is love.

He is amazing/ He is like a grasshopper.

Who is the guy singing why no credit he is more than a background singer? Such a beautiful voice.

when you watch this video 8 years later you are a legend

No entiendo como pude tardar tantos años para descubrir este performance. Una joya.

I always thought this song would be perfect for the last night in the arena from catching fire

Anyone 2019 August?

No effin way 11 years now? I remember this like it was yesterday on a sunny summer. Wow I'm getting old 😔. Anyways who still listens November 2022.

so much talent in a tiny space 🤯

Every time I hear this song I wanna get up and make my move. Happy dance!!

Everybody looks like they're having so much fun here I love it

I don't know what Mackemore is taking to be so joyful, but Iwant halfo of this

i like the voice from the black man :)

This is lots better than the recorded version. Clean, and honestly much happier sounding!

This song would be better if it was just that black dude singing

Here in 2023! Still a banger! Take care everyone x

2023. Never gets old.

Macklemore's passion is infectious, I loved how much he enjoyed performing this song, I was smiling throughout this video.

EXCELLENT -- I never tire of this masterpiece, in all its public forms. Thanks so much for posting these magnificent artists.

Only love this song to the fullest in 2023

10 years later and I still Love this song!!!!!!!

This chubby dude has an amazing voice!!!

Wow , i thought he was not able to sing it live, but this really surprised me, thats talent... and great song.

This Song is one of the Best of Macklemore ;)

november 2019, who's here?

I remember watching this and thinking this was the most badass thing ever done.

I can not wait for the return of live shows. Anybody who loves what they do this much deserves an audience. I feel the same thing every time I hear it - energy, pride, love, strength. I have a huge amount of respect for those that cut their own path. If you cut your own path AND make bangers...well...that's going in my playlist.

I miss it when real music like this song was topping the charts

Idk why I still watch this but I ain’t complaining

La sonrisa de Ray Dalton ( 1:53 ) Da 1000 años de vida!!!!

All I'm saying is I haven't heard this song in forever and I listened to it once last week then all of a sudden It blew up again

11 years old I can t forget this video is my moment of hope in my life

2024. This still rocks. Some music just never gets old.

3:47 ... Macklemore: "Talk to 'em Ray!"

Who in he hell would give this a thumbs down? No matter if you like this song or not, you can tell HE loves what he does. Much respect for that. It sounds amazing.

I regret that I didn’t put this video to my liked one’s 9 years ago when I first hear it. December 2020 and still going

I have to listen to this at least once a day to immediately put me in a good mood

Love this song, makes you move!

This Ryan Lewis voice gives me the chills, awesome

Who is waching this on 2021

Shout out to Macklemore and ray dalton… ain’t NOBODY touching this show right here!!!! Makes me hungry for front row tickets!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
