but Merritt was responding to something someone just played for him out of the blue during the course of an interview - it's not like he was writing a piece on it. I think he should have listened to the whole song or several by the same artist, but he was just responding the same way you or I would when someone says, "hey check this out, what's your take ?" He was in this instance overreacting, surely, but from one snap judgment, and an avowed dislike of contemp hip-hop in general, to charges of racism and visceral rejection of "blackness" or whatever is going too far.

Here's my question: why do people continue to use black culture as a place to play and get their kicks? There are some serious hip hop artists out there [Lupe Fiasco, etc], plunging deep into their souls and culture, posing questions about our times, and helping reshape the consciousness of a generation. Even the so-called "bling-rappers" are attempting to articulate the reality or pursuit of a consumer-rich life. But some whites [and others] think it's cool-beans to mock the art form by placing themselves in it and showing the world how horribly they understand or absorb it. Who cares! Why is there a platform for this? Why do some whites continue to think mocking blackness is a way to make a buck or get attention? I know this is a bit extreme, maybe, but it's a form of blackface. Yeh, I said it. Blackface. If the rumor is true [and I'm sure it is] I'm disappointed in Joaquin. Here's some advice for Joaquin and others like him: Play somewhere else! Blackface is passe!

some white people might be saying that. or they might just be more receptive something that is more in tune with white culture. ie. eminem as opposed to say, redman or whoever.

If I identify with Redman moreso than Eminem, does that mean I am black?

im not sure im too concerned. either way, you cant overlook the fact that eminems 'white' take on rap is what got him over to so many people who probably wouldnt like redman.

Does Redman still live in that duplex with his cousins crashing on the first floor and the money jar to buy groceries with?

There's much more to Beck and TV On The Radio musically than just hip-hop (I mean, hip-hop is just one out of several influences), but white people who dislike rap and are heavily into Eminem and Beastie Boys you may wonder about.

it comes down to how much people associate a group's image with whether they like them or not
i don't wanna say i'm "above image", but i can succesfully ignore a lot of what a band/group/whatever "stands for" and appreciate them on a musical level. dudes who only listen to beastie boys still prolly can't shake this.
― Hullo, I'm Jon Moss (kelpolaris), Sunday, 18 September 2011 05:15 (twelve years ago) link
my guess is beastie boys-only fans prefer the music from their more boorish days, so problematic image doesn't seem a likely culprit.
