![]() There are artists like Clams Casino and Lee Bannon who use ambient electronic music in their beats, a trend that has been picked up by distinctly non-hipster artists like Migos. While Macklemore and Ryan Lewis could definitely be called white hipsters, dismissing their music because they wear skinny jeans and suck at tanning ignores how much so-called white hipster music has been incorporated into hip-hop recently. There was even a movement by some members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to disqualify the duo from the best hip-hop album award because their music was too pop. In the wake of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s rise to success this year, there has been a lot of debate about whether they are ‘real’ hip-hop, or whether they are merely hipsters pretending to rap.
