Cool, you’re part of the problem (it’s called “liberal racism” and was what Get Out was also about). If you’re cool with being part of the problem you’re probably a piece of poo poo hth

This thread is like a trip inside how Trump’s brain works with regard to black people needing to shut up and entertain.

I mean my interpretation of the video is that it's trying to point out the dilemma of black artists pursuing success at the expense of their underlying culture by way of performing up to the expectations set by white people. The track kind of ties into that with the spiritual/gospel style interludes breaking up the experimental sounding beat.

Explaining art is lame and I won’t do it. But acting like the video is shallow or not subtle pretty dumb and you should clear your thoughts with a glass of bleach.

I agree with this but stuff like shooting the guy in the beginning and putting the gun on the red cloth before the body gets dragged away makes me think it goes beyond that. Nobody cares what black people go through, so nobody cares about all of the poo poo going on behind the dancing. America just wants black people to shut up and be entertaining.

Get Out was about the kind of white people who would talk incessantly about how much they love the video

I mean I'm not going to write an essay about the whole thing, but I see what he's trying to do. Music wasn't really my thing but I don't actively dislike it.

I also think it's funny that there's a bunch of other videos out there providing interpretations. Sometimes people read into things too much or find meaning where none is there.

It’s just a song the same way protests are just walks down the street. Get out of my way people I gotta go to work!!

Basically if all you’re concerned with is a black dude entertaining you and you ignore every other thing going on, you are America.

Make a bad song. Dance around in the video. People only talk about the bad song and the dancing. Point proven.

Idk if you think the video is better than I do but getting all up in it about this dumb poo poo is the exact same line of thinking that made people melt down itt about how kanye coudn't possibly have meant "keep it 300 like the romans" as anything other than an intentional mistake meant to highlight perceptions of rich and intelligent black people and therefore

Is Ice Cube's first album his best or are there other ones that are good too? I started spinning it today and holy gently caress he is mad as gently caress.

Going back a bit but his first album is his "best" imo. The reason I'm using quotes is it's different from the vast majority of his output after that. After that he started going a lot harder into typical west coast gangsta stuff. Also the production went more towards that sound vs. the more boom bap stuff that the bomb squad gave him on his first album.

So basically if you prefer angry, politcal street raps you'll love his first album best. If you prefer the mid 90's/early '00's west coast gangsta sound, you'll probably wanna check everything up to War & Peace and the Westside Connection stuff.

I'm not sure if you realized it with your galaxy brain thinking and all but it's possible to make music that's both good and has a point.

that said the video and song has had it's intended effect, which is "make white people think donglover is a genius"

See but Lupe's making a good song here. Also Lupe's actually made songs that have had a sound copying what's popular, yet still have a point and are actually good songs independently.
