A little over a year ago, an image popped up on the Internet of Macklemore sitting in a trash can. Oscar the Grouch's trash can, to be exact, as the Seattle rapper paid a visit to the set of Sesame Street. Now, the results of his appearance are finally available to the public, and they certainly do not disappoint.

Macklemore is featured in a 90-second clip rapping along with Oscar the Grouch and crew to a Kidz Bop version of "Thrift Shop," highlighting his love for trash, and the hook is catchy as the original: "I'm gonna pop some trash/Only got seven bags in my trash can/I'm, I'm, I'm shopping, looking for some rubbish/This is gross and awesome."

For real though, how many Grammy Award-winning rappers do you know who drop four-bar verses for the youth? Check out the video above.
