Macklemore "Felt the Same Way" As His Critics After Breakout & Relapse
Macklemore recently opened up to Complex about his post-fame drug and alcohol relapse, saying he "just wanted to escape.” Now, in a new mini-documentary by MTV, Macklemore: Fully Human, the "Can't Hold Us" rapper talks candidly and thoughtfully about the highs and lows of his and Ryan Lewis' music taking over the nation. "We were going super hard, to the point that, um...it was dangerous." He goes on:
"I didn't know exactly how to deal with it. Just...it's like, people want a nightcap for a reason. They wanna sit back and numb out and watch TV and have a drink or smoke some weed and go back to their day the next day and keep it pushing. For me, there's no such thing as like, a drink or a drug. It's just either on or off."
