At best, he's more material than Rick Grimes or Walter White. Otherwise, no, Macklemore is not material than anyone else that's been used. Maybe Napoleon Dynamite, but that was a Season 1 thing, where what they were doing was more focused on being for fun than trying to use characters who are more historically-impactful. However, I do think Napoleon Dynamite is still somewhat more material than Macklemore.

Material isn't only dependant on how well-known a character is. It's also how big of an impact they've made on their particular culture. While characters like Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross aren't hugely well-known, they've still left major impacts on people who watched their shows. While Macklemore is just barely more well-known than them, he's left little to no impact at all. He's trying to, I can tell, considering his LGBT support, but I've seen around Tumblr and news websites and such, and it's hardly left any impact at all.
