How on earth was 'suckle on my muscle' allowed on network television?

ha, I was kinda wondering that too
― imago draggin' (The Reverend), Friday, 14 March 2014 08:53 (ten years ago) link
kind of annoyed he's still pimping a two-year old song tho
Well, yeah. But on the other hand, it is amazing, and should be pimped until the whole world has heard it. There's definitely some hits on Hey that he could pimp instead. I like it.

great performance and this ep is the best thing he's done - had been lukewarm on basically everything post-dark york but this bangs, good to hear him easing up on the trying-to-fit-too-many-words-into-the-line flow as well

dear Lord Jamar,Choose your battles. If the whitening of rap is a concern to you, please leave my name out of it. If you think being gay is the same as being white, you are as ignorant as your enemies. I'm darker than you. I'm african. I'm a black man and I experience all the same racism you do, if not more, on top of homophobia, including from black men just like you. Are you proud of being a hateful member of a majority? Rap started out as a creative response to oppression, and no matter my outfit, I know oppressions you will never understand.All respect,Le1f
boom

― lex pretend, Monday, 24 March 2014 19:06 (ten years ago) link
though tbf
‘Yeezus’ was wack to me,” Jamar said, in reference to Kanye West’s most recent album, a strange and sonically abrasive work that received acclaim and solidified West in the eyes of many as this era’s most important pop star. “You got people who blindly say, ‘That album was so genius.’ And those are the people who will take hip-hop and fucking let it drive right off the fucking cliff—who will listen to ‘Yeezus’ and say, ‘That was so artistic, the way he drove hip-hop off a cliff.’ ”
― We hugged with no names exchanged (forksclovetofu), Monday, 24 March 2014 19:07 (ten years ago) link
Except that driving genres off a cliff is a great thing to do. Not taking a sound to it's limits because your afraid it can't handle it, that's weak. And conservative.
― Frederik B, Monday, 24 March 2014 19:19 (ten years ago) link
yup
― The Reverend, Monday, 24 March 2014 19:23 (ten years ago) link
Also Yeezus isn't necessarily more abrasive than vintage Bomb Squad & a bunch of other stiff Jamar is probably down with

Wow, if anyone could make Macklemore look sympathetic, it's this clown.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Monday, 24 March 2014 19:43 (ten years ago) link
i think "driving hip hop off the cliff" can be interpreted as demolishing the car rather that "taking a sound to its limits"and my beef with yeezus is not that it's abrasive so much as it is unfun, bloviated and generally uninterestingi guess really my reasons for disliking kanye and jamar's reasons for disliking kanye are really differenti just don't like kanye is what i'm saying
― We hugged with no names exchanged (forksclovetofu), Monday, 24 March 2014 20:05 (ten years ago) link
jamar's objection to the sound seems token in comparison to his weird fixation on "masculinity", which is a) bullshit and b) explains a lot...this idea that hip-hop is inherently a masculine venture. that's where his conservatism seems to stem from - not the beats, it's all about gays and beta males (and white people) (i guess women are not on his radar at all?).
i mean i'm a drake hater but his grounds for criticising drake are also bullshit, this guy is the worst
― lex pretend, Monday, 24 March 2014 20:10 (ten years ago) link
although as always anything that gets people invested in Traditional Masculinity shook has to have some worth, and when those people are shook it's always fun to see
