They've just released a song dubbed "so bad it would make Tupac cry" so let's hope Macklemore and Ryan Lewis don't play it when they return to New Zealand in July.
The Gammy-winning hip-hop duo, known for their gay rights anthem Same Love, are returning for two shows, playing Auckland'sVector Arena on July 28, and Christchurch's Horncastle Arena on July 30.
The Seattle-based duo recently released a song called Spoons - about spooning in bed - that was slated as one of the worst songs every recorded.
Thankfully, they didn't include Spoons on this month's new album This Unruly Mess I've Made, but their second album - the follow-up to 2012 chart buster Heist - hasn't been well received.
TimeOut reviewer Chris Schulz said album cut Brad Pitt's Cousin was "so bad it may make you wish you'd never been born with ears" in a review that gave it two-and-a-half stars.
