So here is the multi-award-winning video, with co-starring roles taken by a whole crowd of Vespa scooters, perfectly at ease in metropolitan mood, in the company of rappers and hip-hop artistes. In the opening shot, Macklemore is seen “resting” on a two-colour PX 125; other Vespa models appear in the rest of the video (see if you can spot them) through to the final “parade”. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis also owe their popularity to the powerful, densely meaningful lyrics of their musical experiments. Posted on YouTube at the end of August, the “Downtown” video had collected more than 60 million views by mid-November!

There were two smart white Vespa scooters with red seats on the international stage of the big MTV EMA MILAN 2015 music event (at the Assago Forum, on 25 October, broadcast on all MTV channels). The scooters were part of the staging for the stunning performance of duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, evoking the metropolitan atmosphere of their latest hit, “Downtown”. Here are a few screen-shots from the video of their performance in Milan, which you can enjoy on line on the MTV EMA site: it.mtvema.com.
