Check out this cool video by Macklemore called Thrift Shop, rapping about being frugal with money. This guy is hilarious and has a pretty cool catchy song that has 125+ million views on YouTube. I laughed out loud at least 3 times while watching and listening to this video. We all need artist to be real like this guy talking about being smart and not getting swindled by the luxurious clothing brands pimping t-shirts to younger persons for 50 dollars a pop. The clothes do not make the person, the person makes the clothes look good by rocking it with confidence and style. Also cars should not define who you are by impressing random people you will never get to know at a red light. Please listen to the video and take heed to what he is saying and trying to express.

Video by Macklemore ft Ryan Lewis: Thrift shop
I personally think this song is a great twist to the thousands of current songs who send a bad message to todays youth that spending on chains, cars, and watches is ok while you are broke. Most of the younger kids listening to these songs are just starting out in life and we actually need more songs spreading the truth about money. So if you are different from the normal person who thinks they need brands to help themselves feel better, share this with others to help them wake up. Every dollar you spend buying that 120 scarf goes to a CEO’s pocket and away from your retirement funds.
Tell me what you thought of the video and if you understood the overall message behind the song.

I actually got this video from my sister not too long ago since she thought I'd be interested in it. Very good song/video with a good message. Thrift shops are especially good for kids since they grow out of their clothes so fast. I don't go clothes shopping too often, but when I get something, I'll keep it for a long time. I don't get how some people can buy new clothes for each "season."
That’s cool that you can appreciate the message behind this song. I am with you that being frugal is the way to go. I don’t go clothes shopping either, unless I really need an article of clothing for an event. I have all I need. Thanks for the comment.
Love the lyrics and the video! Refreshing. Where are the Jordan Fires?
When I first heard this song I immediately thought it would be cool to add it to my blog. I didn't get a chance to buy the jordan fires, at that time those kicks were only released in Nike Town NYC, plus the line was ridiculous to buy them. Do you have them?
