I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

Kendrick Lamar.

He lost a few points for the Super bowl. He could have made a statement to a president but didn't. His first couple of albums made statements about life in the hood.

I would say childish Gambino made more of a major statement with one song compared to Kendrick.
