Top 10 Countdown - #10

What I'm loving right now is...

Alright well we are kickin off this countdown with a bit of a unique situation. There is a tie for tenth place. The two songs that are tied are:

"Irish Celebration" - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
and
"Shoot Your Love" - Cam Meekins

"Irish Celebration" - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis



This was the first song I ever picked up by this incredible artist, and since then he has never stopped impressing me. I tend to like an artist more when you can hear the passion in his music, but with Macklemore you don't just hear the passion, you can feel it. His songs are personal but he is still able to have his songs connect with his fans. He makes tracks about pride in his heritage and his favorite TV announcer as a kid, not poppin' bottles in the club or how this place aboutta blow, or anything of the garbage. And that is why he is such a great artist.





"Shoot Your Love" - Cam Meekins


Well, to be completely honest I wasn't too impressed with Cam's new-ish mixtape "1993". I'll give it to the kid, he's young and he has time to improve but this mixtape just didn't seem up to par. However, this song off of his mixtape "Dancing with the Stars" is an easy listen. I've always been a fan of an acoustic sound and Cam goes over this sweet guitar melody with smooth verses and a good flow and a solid chorus to rap it all up and bring it in at a number ten spot. Check it out!
