Kanye always seems to get way more hate from (mostly) white people than he really deserves. Like, his biggest crime is that he was rude to a white woman once. Taylor Swift basically took that incident and has been milking it for almost a drat decade now.

Kanye is generally hated more by young black people than young white people. Since like at least 2012....I mean old white people hate all black people and rappity rappers. but Kanye's rep isn't so hot with black people these days.

Go to a Kanye concert and look around at who you see. Who do you think are buying his $500 t-shirts and poo poo.

My dude is telling a loving majority white crowd that Black people complain about race too much. The Same dude who tells majority white crowds it's ok for them to say the N-word in his songs.

like I said in the Rap thread. Pablo is really really good musically.

Sound wise I love that album as much as I like MBDTF.

Kanye's issue is the same issue that Em started running into(though not quite as bad...yet). There is a bar or punchline that is just so goddamn awful that almost ruins the song.

The only Track on Pablo I hate listening to is Freestyle 4.

But sound wise. ULB, FSMH 1+2, Famous, Feedback, Highlights, Waves, FML, Real Friends, Wolves, 30 Hours, No More Parties, Facts, and Fade

I loving love the production on that album. Which is always Kanye's strength. But whoo boy the writing will just crater off at random parts of all of those songs.

I have never particularly been fond of Kanye's rapping. He is unparalleled as a producer, but to me his flow has always felt a bit stilted and he tends to depend too much on simple rhymes. I think he does well because the music is amazing and he speaks to people in a way other rappers don't, but what do I know, I'm just a luddite who's trapped in the 90s when it comes to taste in hip hop.

I don't disagree.

Kanye's skill has always been in producing. He's a B class rapper with S+ class production. Once he lost his ghost writers he fell off haaaaard.

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.

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.

I never really noticed how conservative Kendrick Lamar was until I sat down and listened to some of his music.

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.

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.�

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.

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.

Agreed, Waller for president IMO.

Eh.

Waller would have the most Right wing conservative rear end conservative foreign policy in the history of right wing conservatives. Though to be fair she probably hates Black people and women less than other conservatives. But everything's all well and good until she starts a secret program cloning Super Osama Bin Laden's to combat islam.

Lex would probably make for a better president tbh. Just gotta have a chief of staff with enough pull on him to prevent him from doing petty and evil poo poo out of his hatred of Superman.

Have ya'll seen the new Harry Potter spinoff movie? It's nice that it made an effort in having a more diverse cast.
I think the main character has aspergers and the president of magic USA is a black woman. All in all an enjoyable fun movie with some real creepy moments. I liked it and I'm not a big potter guy.

Also saw dr strange but that was pretty meh

Haven't seen that movie. Will get around to it sometime this week probably

I loved Strange though. It's the only Marvel movie with a good and cool villain defeat. Also pretty interesting visually. Barebones plot but executed as well as it could be. Could do with less quips tho.

Meh. I'm glad they went Viola Davis and at least had an older black woman play the part.

New 52 Waller was terrible. and while CCH Pounder will always be the One True Waller. Viola Davis did a really good and admirable job in an otherwise disappointing movie.

Didn't Luthor make Waller Secretary of State when he was president?

Sure foreign policy wise he was a mess. But Like didn't he at some point just outright ban all fossil fuels.

So what if some aliens, metas or vigilantes had to take a few L's.

Maybe if Superman didn't bring that Kryptonite asteroid to earth we wouldn't have to be so tough on super predator aliens.

omg I went off on a coworker the other day because he was humming the tune to Astronomy and when I started dropping the lyrics he's all "What is that?" and he had never loving heard of Blackstar (or Mos Def or Talib individually). I was just like "how could you have picked up the tune and absorbed nothing about the source or its message?" and apparently that was just me being a dick for no reason according to him.

I mean going off on him might be a bit much. I find myself humming random pop songs that I don't know the lyrics to all the time. Though I'll admit that is a fairly deep cut.

Also a song can have a whole different context based solely on where it falls in an artist's project

Formation feels like a completely different song when it comes at the end of Lemonade compared to just hearing it as a single.

Ditto with "i" from Kendrick Lamar which in the context of his album hits waaaaay harder than the single.

Because It's probably the Chappelle Show. Even though most white( and black folks too) didn't pull the right lessons from that show. And were laughing for the wrong reasons.

Eh, Screw you and your "depth of general blackness". I grew up in white rear end white suburbia and am pretty sure I'm pretty black.

This movie isn't about a so called "thug" and seems like exactly the type of movie Peele would have personal poo poo to draw on when making.

Awkward poo poo happening when dating a white chick and meeting their family is like suburban black american 101.

So much for the diversity of black experience.

Though you did literally try to say that the only black experiences were "thug" and "suburban black dude", so...

Protip: Not everyone who grows up in the inner city is a thug.

I don't think a white person gave you that redtext, tbh.

Lol wow was my post wildly misinterpreted then. I was simply questioning why you said Peele didn't have the blackness necessary to write Get Out and have it work.

I used "Thug" because that's how a previous poster referred to the characters that Key and Peele can't portray well without it often coming off as minstrel like. And I was simply saying the character in this movie doesn't seem to be going for that stereotype.

I was talking about you saying what you said about their lack of blackness being a problem with making that movie.
