red lobster is what the hopheads call a trap house

Well, I thought it was great to find the hot-sauce thing seemingly as ubiquitous in the US as it is here. Ancona hot pepper sauce is definitely a part of the black British experience, including having an emergency supply stashed in your mum's handbag for those awkwardly bland restaurant meals, and that's as true for ppl w/West African roots as it is for ppl with Caribbean/West Indian roots. Can't think of a blatant pop-culture example apart from a woman on Come Dine With Me who kept whipping it out at the other contestants' homes.

I cook plenty of West Indian meat dishes (jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, oxtail stew) because a) love them and b) a Jamaican took pity on me and took me through some of her family recipes about 10 years ago. No matter how FIRE the basic dish, someone will always want to put hot sauce on top. I have a habanero sauce (amongst many) in my cupboard that makes grown-ups weep.

people carrying around hot sauce is definitely a thing

i have a colleague who is often sought after during work parties because she has the hot sauce in her bag

Got hot takes in my bag

"uh oh. she really means business if she's making that Trent Willmon money"

beyonce's dad bought that catalog, not beyonce.

hot sauce in the bag always makes me think of my jazz mentor Richard Davis, who always wears a fanny pack containing a bottle of Tabasco.

and i still say the Red Lobster line is a flip of old bounce lyrics

(i apologize for the profanity and misogyny in these songs)

bounce artists are so talented, it's a shame they think they need to work blue

FYI, he put out an album last year that's worth a listen.

why does the version downloaded at tidal doesn't have the voices of Messy Mya and Big Freedia? the song is way better with them.

Nourry, Wednesday, 10 February 2016 18:39 (eight years ago) link

wouldn't be unusual for certain audio to be added to the song in the video that aren't in the radio/album version of the song

some dude, Wednesday, 10 February 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link

now i wanna listen to some old juvy albums

ulysses, Wednesday, 10 February 2016 19:00 (eight years ago) link

I apparently phrased my initial post poorly so let me try again: other than 'Top Five', can anyone think of a prior-to-'Formation' pop culture reference or song lyric that associates carrying a bottle of hot sauce as being a black and/or southern signifier?

― ulysses, Wednesday, February 10, 2016 11:40 AM (2 hours ago)

now that you mention it, beyonce (or whoever wrote this song) definitely had this scene from "undercover brother" in mind

i was loving this song the other day - and that battle cry of EGGS BACON GRITS!! - but then the revelation halfway through that Lil Mama only eats turkey bacon was kind of a letdown for some reason. i mean it's fine and she gives religious reasons for avoiding swine but it kinda took the wind out of the chorus cuz who has a turkey bacon battle cry? still like the video a lot though.

During Jim Crow, Black people could pick up food at establishments that served white people, but they often could not eat in them. When custom demanded that Black people be served separately from whites, they were often required to have their own utensils, serving dishes, and condiments. So it was customary for Black families who were traveling to carry everything they might possibly need so that (with the help of the Green Book, the guide that helped Black travelers eat, sleep, and move as safely as possible) they could navigate America in relative comfort.

we took hot sauce to Germany on our second trip there because they didn't have hot sauce and we were used to eating a little hot sauce here and there. our motivation was, we wanted some hot sauce on our food and weren't sure we'd be able to get it otherwise. in Germany they put paprika on stuff when they want to eat spicy food. then eight hours later they shit onto porcelain shelves for the whole world to see

they don't use hot sauce that their shit might stay on the shelf, man

odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 10 February 2016 21:00 (eight years ago) link

lol when I saw "Germany" I knew that post would be quality

its subtle brume (DJP), Wednesday, 10 February 2016 21:00 (eight years ago) link

Turkish shops all over Germany can give you all the spicy sauces you'll ever need (and your subsequent shit-on-a-shelf will be that bit more interesting).

Did we have to being inspection shelves into the Beyonce thread?

its subtle brume (DJP), Wednesday, 10 February 2016 21:09 (eight years ago) link

Also, should we start a new thread considering there'll likely be a new record coming out?

given that there was some confusion (at best) with crediting I'd guess that's why
