well if you feel much more revulsion towards the cultural signifiers of black working class commodity fetishism than towards other kinds of commodity fetishism etc then you perhaaaaaps have questions to be asking of yourself. ― Merdeyeux, Thursday, November 14, 2013 1:03 PM (25 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

That's a fair point. I know I'm gonna get in hot water for suggesting this post, but arguably gold chains etc aren't necessarily specific to black working class cultures any more and haven't been for quite a few decades. i don't like this song. i think lily allen's attempt at parody and cutting social commentary is weak, massively misguided and really rather insensitive, especially when put under the scrutiny of a line by line/shot by shot dissection. as a send-up of pop and consumerist culture it forgets a number of things and winds up as straight-up hypocrisy. but it also concerns me that people are willing to call her an out-and-out racist/sexist etc because of an ill-advised and poorly-executed attempt to take the piss out of pop / fashion as well as those who exploit it. disregarding allen's back-story (and her historical spat with azealia banks, which i only found out about yesterday and is completely indefensible), it's a massively ill-thought-out bit of work especially for a comeback single and i agree with a huge number of points made. but there's also an element of hysteria surrounding this, much of which involves analysing this video/song in microscopic detail and branding it outwardly and intentionally offensive. i would say that it's simply a failure. it fails on every level in what it's trying to do. it's a crap song for a start. the lyrics are sub-comedic and just plain dumb. the video might be taking the piss out of thicke, cyrus et al but only by replicating and exaggerating exactly what happened in those videos thus nullifying any social commentary it sets out to make. the whole thing is awful, but i believe it is trying to make a wider point. it's just a shame that that point is lost, almost entirely because of how badly executed it is and how easy it is for internet pundits to tear it to pieces and show it up for how unintentionally insensitive the results are. still, i don't believe it wasn't made with good intentions somehow, i just think they got lost along the way.

who is to say who ever 'introduces' the discourse? the discourse precedes us, it is there, latent and ethereal
whether the discourse is attributed to deems or to dog latin seems almost arbitrary
