My dumbass opinions are only outweighed by my racism.

No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.

There's plenty of music made by people of color that is specifically designed to have broad appeal.

I think the real problem you have is it hurts your widdle feelings that people out there criticize white people. But you feel free to criticize them for not living up to your standard. The standard where everyone pretends things are fine.

Please tell me more about my feelings, gbs superstar. :allears:

I almost feel bad that many who listen to todays trash are not experiencing the awesome music created in the past. (this goes for most all that is being produced today, not just rap)

Well as an 'american' it looks to be a disgustingly accurate artistic portrayal of almost everything wrong with the country. Also if you look at it literally, the main character is a dude who kills a bunch of helpless people and dances.

Personally it's just something that ends up sitting in the back of my mind- there's no way I could escape thinking about it.

Parts of Turkey are basically first world and nice yes, but other parts are really really really crummy.
I mean do you consider Mexico first world? Because that's the ballpark Turkey is in.

I mean literally it was "Why can't the blacks be smiling and dancing for my enjoyment using nice white friendly melodies (and less savage jungle rhythm) like they used to?".

And that's not even getting into just the plain staggering bad taste of it. Which is far more offensive.

Imagine having that opinion of hip-hop (and apparently all other black music post-70's) in the year of our lord 2018.
In a time where even country music is name dropping hip hop stuff via Bro Country.

I'm not even sure I can call it a super white take, it's more like the opinion of a racist martian or something.

Someone lamenting current rap would have shifted to talking about old school/golden age rap or something like that.
Not Motown, while phrasing it like everything went wrong after it.

It's a supremely scorching hot take direct from what can only be a moon-man.

I gave the video a few plays. It's a decent song and an entertaining video. But it seems like it's more spectacle than substance. Hearing the song without the radical and violent video reveals how "safe" and "middle of the road" it actually is--hooks safe for the dancefloor, namedropping gucci. I can't really see anyone over the age of 25 gassing up the song, acting like it's some sort of game changer, expecting people to become WOKE AF from its message. Funny that right under the video is a promotion for his Madison Square Garden show. Gotta wonder how much this rich celebrity will be helping the abused and downtrodden afford his tickets. That's a silly point, but all the hype around this song feels unwarranted.


If I want rap confronting America's insane racial issues, I want something that goes loving hard. Here's a legitimately amazing song by real and talented rappers. Every verse is like a freight train of truth smashing into your loving forehead.
