The ideology eater posted:Makes me think about when they released that Mascots movie and I watched the trailer. Looked kinda funny but it was literally 100% white people and I'm not interested in supporting that poo poo anymore. Was glad to see reviews were bad afterwards. That's Christopher Guest for you. It's worth a watch if you liked Waiting for Guffman or Parker Posey Parker Poseying it up. Otherwise it's a solid shrug.

I thought it was fun, even if it was kind of corny.

The only Artist or athlete or famous person I can't gently caress with after them being alleged to do some gently caress poo poo is R.Kelly. Like the music is still dope. But I just can't listen to any of his songs anymore without thinking about his pedophile rear end. Hit me again this year when I realized that that dude was creeping in the background of the cover of Aaliyah's "Age ain't nothing but a number"

Also Kanye doesn't really fit there. Like that situation is waaaaaay loving different than, Rose's, Cosby's, Kelly's, or Jackson's alleged transgressions. Kanye is just a dumbass with bad opinions. Which sure slander away and doesn't deserve much defense. But that's lightweight compared to literal violations of the law and poo poo the others are accused of.

To me it depends on the level of ignorance. Like, if you believe in healing crystals or some poo poo, whatever. If you're like Lil Wayne saying "all lives matter" and "racism is over" or like Kanye saying "I voted for Trump", I can't gently caress with you. Some comments are more egregious than others, and if you're willing to throw your people under the bus for some fans that don't give a gently caress about you, I can't gently caress with you.

Yep, this right here. It's actually not hard to find amazing musicians who don't say and do terrible and/or dumb things, but ymmv depending on your taste I guess. Honestly I'm just still tripping on Sessions right now.

I've also been probated for talking about David Bowie's sexual assault charge after his death in a video game thread and I got so heated up about it I made a bad argument about how people were ignoring it because he was white, so like, letting sex criminals off the hook because they make good music is disgusting to me and you shouldn't do it.

Kendrick is Conservative as gently caress, hell tons of black folk are conservative as gently caress.(except when it comes to race anyway, Like start getting into conversations about women(black women in particular) with a Black male some time. Or LGBT issues, or Taxes, or how other black people need to bootstrap themselves) Like I love Kendrick's music, and his projects but yeah the politics behind them are just like 2-3 steps above "Pull up you pants". It's why I laugh whenever I hear someone say TPAB was him being to preachy like they didn't even listen to GKMC, which doesn't even hold a candle to the loving sermon that is Section.80 And also.. lol Most white rap fans(of the non mainstream Drake, and pop poo poo anyway) don't give a poo poo about consciousness, they are in it for the idea of experiencing blackness without the downsides of actually being black. Pusha posted:“I remember on the Clipse’s sophomore album, Hell Hath No Fury. And we were doing press around the album,” Pusha T said. “And the write-ups were so good. The blogs were clamoring about the Clipse. We just found our niche with that album. We found out who exactly our fans was. We started off solely in the streets. And then we sort of just found these college, white, internet monsters. We even had a name. They were called the Clipsters. Like hipsters. But it was the hipster bunch that was all about the Clipse. And they were all about us. And we embraced ‘em as well.”

You aren't having that discussion in good faith, you're just trying to make everything here about you and how you're so much more moral than all those nasty rap-likers. No one cares, this thread does not exist for you to get an ego-boost from the darkies.

If a rapper says something smart it's "lol who cares what a stupid rapper thinks, I pity you if you get your politics from hip and/or hop." Then if a rapper says something dumb it's the WORST THING IN THE WORLD he is RUINING OUR SOCIETY anyone who listens to his music is a MONSTER. So basically all yall gently caress off with that grandad poo poo.

Like when I was telling about being one of 3 black people out of 150+ at a Talib Kweli concert in Brooklyn. It was surreal; all these white people enjoying this music that's calling them out for the daily poo poo they do, completely lacking self-awareness.

Meh I get someones politics turning them off of wanting to listen or watch anyone in entertainment I'm personally not like that (except for R.Kelly). But I get that mindset. Mostly if you do some pedophile poo poo I'm not really trying to listen to you sing about how you wanna blow some chicks back out. Just like I'm going to laugh at Kanye's dumbass when some Italian fashion magazine doesn't put his new lineup in it and he starts crying about racism
