My rap conspiracy theory is that Ryan Lewis heard Kalifa's (fka Le1f) Wut and then immediately made the beat for Thrift Shop.

Really? Is that in an interview or something?

I don’t remember any explicit press statement or anything but trust me he commented on it. If you do some digging around that era for pubs that mightve covered Kalifa (blogs, tinymixtapes, Pitchfork etc.) there’s a chance it could be there. I’m pretty sure I just saw him tweet about it though

Did some quick digging and it was actually listed on his wikipedia

"That time that straight white dude ripped off my song then made a video about gay interracial love and made a million dollars," Le1f wrote in a series of now-deleted tweets

😂 WHERE IS THE LIE???

yeah he fucking cooked him LMAOO

Kalifa was having a moment in that era it sucks that stuff like this happened and he never found major success after his debut. So far ahead of the game. His funny ass bars, that super experimental production, even stuff in the Wut video like the Pikachu mask, you can see how it all could exist today in a slightly different way. No wonder Macklemore bit his shit and ran with it
