Macklemore is celebrating his 43rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-musician Macklemore (Thrift Shop, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 43rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Macklemore, a cultural icon

Born Ben Haggerty in Seattle on June 19, 1983, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Macklemore's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Macklemore hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Macklemore as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 43.

Happy Birthday, Macklemore, you're the best!
