Lil’ Wayne was Macklemore’s inspiration, whom he wanted to rap like. Yet, because acting like “them” meant doing drugs, that’s what he did to be like his idols. The Pathos is where Macklemore opens up about his life with drugs and people can relate to the…

“Jabberwocky” holds its place in many poetry anthologies. Or some disqualify rap as poetry because of its (sometimes) vulgar and superficial content. For example, rappers like Radric Davis (also known as Gucci Mane) or Dwayne Carter (also known as Lil Wayne) write about drugs and seemingly meaningless things.
