What are you able to do today that you couldn't have done, say, in 1980? And I wonder, you know, rap as an art form has really changed dramatically over the past, say 30 or 40 years. That was one of the things that struck me. HEADLEE: You know, I got to ask you - listening to this album, it sounds really modern to me. Yeah, I throw stuff out and donate again. MACKLEMORE: Yeah, every couple of days I. HEADLEE: At some point you're going to have to cut him off. The whole back area that we're supposed to be working is just a wardrobe at this point. HEADLEE: Is your bus getting filled, Ryan, with his purchases? So the bus is becoming filled with used goods from all over the country. So I've gotten, you know, I mean, on tour right now it's difficult because we're stopping at all these cities and usually the first thing I do is go look for a thrift shop. MACKLEMORE: My best bargain, I would say, is whatever I got yesterday or earlier-on today. HEADLEE: What's the best bargain you've ever gotten in a thrift shop? And I think that that's something that's rare in hip-hop culture. But I also have a bunch of clothes from thrift shops and it's about, you know, just saving money. HEADLEE: Caddies and gold and your gold grill. Hip-hop is usually a art form that is about. I like to write songs about my life and things that make me a unique person, and thrift shopping is one of those. It is something that has been a part of my life since I was a young kid and it's outside of the box. MACKLEMORE: You know, I love thrift shopping. I spoke to them in November about their debut album "The Heist." And I began by asking Macklemore what gave him the idea to do a song about thrift stores. HEADLEE: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took a break from their sold-out world tour last year to talk to us. They've been rapping since 2000, and their first studio album has lyrics about everything from gay marriage to the merits of thrift shopping. If you've turned on the radio lately or watch TV, you've probably heard them. Rap duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis hardly need an introduction.
