At the rate they’re going, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis could be taking over the world soon!!

And we probably wouldn’t object, ha!

This dynamic duo went from unknown to ubiquitous seemingly overnight!! Just last week, the two became the first duo EVER to have their first two singles hit the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Days later, they won The Billboard Music Award’s Top Rap Song, beating out other HUGE artists like Flo Rida, Kanye West, and PSY.

The two were recently interviewed for Billboard Magazine's cover story, during which Macklemore gave us a glimpse of what makes him really unique:

"I would go to thrift shops and buy really crazy outfits, and put them on and drink malt liquor and call myself 'Professor Macklemore'. I wore a lot of plaid, bell bottoms, older golfer, grandfather-type outfits. I didn't want to look like anyone else."

Loves it!!!

This is exactly the kind of individuality that we adore in an artist! We CAN'T WAIT to see what’s next!!

Until then, we’ll continue to hit up the local thrift shops whilst blasting Thrift Shop on all our musical devices, LOLz!

what make shim unique is NO label… I'm shocked that they were allowed on the radio since it is so controlled.

Bobbi Kristina Is In A Medically Induced Coma

There still aren't many details about Bobbi Kristina's health, but sources have confirmed that she's been placed in a medically induced coma.

Whitney Houston's daughter was found Saturday morning face down in the bathtub, and was unresponsive.

The police searched the Roswell, Georgia home she shares with husband Nick Gordon, and found no evidence of the incident being drug or alcohol related. Even the police noted the similarities between this incident and Whitney's death nearly three years ago, as she was found face down in a bathtub.

Nothing else is known at this time, except that Tyler Perry and Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby Brown arrived at the hospital together, because Tyler was flying back anyway and offered to go with him.

We're hoping that today there is nothing but good news coming from the Brown family.
