Go gently caress yourself, Macklemore, you self-important piece of poo poo.Dr Christmas posted:A few weeks ago, weren't people complaining about wussification at the mere suggestion that what that Incognito guy did was not okay? If the players' union strikes to end these atrocious labor practices, I'd be willing to lose a whole season of the NFL.

Friendly Reminder #4: No black artist spent time at the top of the Billboard charts in 2013, the first time since 1958. And a white person topped the R&B and hip-hop charts 44 weeks out of 52. It was a good year for music, if you were white.

Seeing Nate Silver again reminds me of that natesilverwrong.com site that somebody put up because they were so certain that his 2012 election predictions would be wrong... ...and then it mysteriously vanished when all the results came in and he hit every single one. Good times.

I mixed that up with "Pick-A-Bagel." To my knowledge, there is no Bagel A Go-Go on 72nd St., and if it is, it's on the West Side. I live on the east side and I've never seen this place. In all likelihood, it closed down a looooong time ago. get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Jan 28, 2014 |

The Tumblr-esque animosity whenever Macklemore is brought up in this thread always seems kind of excessive to me. I get that him basically playing the role of easily digestible rap artist for White America is distasteful and off-putting and he sometimes makes ill-advised changes to live performances, but it never comes off as noticeably worse than what other performers have done. He never said he hoped that a Holocaust victim would've been a fan of his or violently beat down on his girlfriend or put hashtags in any of his songs. But then I also thought Can't Hold Us was my favorite pop song last year, so I guess my opinions might just be kind of poo poo.  Relatedly, today I learned that a lot of pop artists have their Wikipedia articles locked down.

But then I also thought Can't Hold Us was my favorite pop song last year, so I guess my opinions might just be kind of poo poo. Choose any or all of the following: A: He gets lauded as "the one good rapper" because "he has a message", which is incredibly ignorant since popular modern hip-hop acts (kanye, kendrick lamar, frank ocean, et al) have been putting out music with positive messages for years now B: He gets lauded as "the one good rapper" because he supports LGBTQ rights, which is again horribly ignorant because huge portions of modern hip-hop have been completely accepting of things like frank ocean coming out as gay through twitter and poo poo, they just don't write mawkish songs about it C: He gets lauded as "the one good rapper" because he's white, which let's be honest nobody actually admits but it happens D: He revels in his position as Official Rap LGBTQ Spokesman without taking any time to point out LGBTQ rappers who have been fighting the fight for decades E: He turns his position of Official Rap LGBTQ Spokesman into garish spectacles like that awful wedding at the Grammys, which was a terrible publicity stunt for all parties involved F: He is a ho bag (for certain definitions of ho bag that I didn't know existed, but whatever) G: He is essentially White Will Smith for the 21st century, in that his music is bland and inoffensive (unless you're a bigot), which is totally OK if you're into sterility but not the type of thing that should win an award for Best Thing H: He is ultimately a middling-at-best rapper who says some pretty ok things but is forever tainted by his awful fans that insist he is The Best, and we'd all probably be able to tolerate him if they'd shut the gently caress up Feel free to add to the list if your favorite opinion isn't on it.

404GoonNotFound posted:Oh what the gently caress, he got FINED for that? He got fined for the choking gesture, which isn't unusual and clearly spelled out. It's also hilarious that they played up his taunting of Crabtree at the end of the game as sincere. Rhonne posted:Yeah that was pretty dumb, but I wonder how much of a hit was fine really was compare to how much he's actually payed? He's on a minimum salary (or close to at about 500k). Tatum Girlparts posted:Yea it's nuts how the actual context makes it super clear he's just a normal dude who got hosed with and got pissed off. Gee I wonder why no one shows that extra clip before going into rants about how he's a dumb dirty thug. He's a clever marketer. He's going to make a shitload of money off that interview. As I said earlier, the pat on the rear end of Crabtree and the offer to shake his hand immediately after ending their season (technically the game wasn't over) is pure strain trolling, which is something Sherman's been doing for a while. Tatum Girlparts posted:And bit the beat to Thrift Shop from an actual gay black artist. He took a good beat from a terrible song and made a good song out of it. You don't get bonus points for being terrible while gay and black.

So Thrift Shop is a "good song" and Can't Hold Us was somebody's favorite song of last year. You learn new and interesting things here in the Daily Show thread.

Nobody knows more about poverty wages than a loving CEO. By the way, Obama can't raise the minimum wage by himself- only the minimum wage for federal contractors.
