Comedic genius PlushFieldHarpy poats: I'm sure his Grand Dragon is proud. Maybe he'll even let ol' Plushy light up the cross at the next meeting. PlushFieldHarpy is one of the biggest Alt-Right Trump supporting motherfuckers over there...I think PFH even hails from Indiana- Mike Pence territory. Go figure...

Well aside from the lame, desperate offensiveness of "B**** Don't Kill my Vibe", it truly is strange that an adult would have such juvenile musings. Not only is it disturbing on that level, but the bizarre, disassociative, stream of consciousness ramblings make it all the more imbecilic. And much of the "rhyming", does not even qualify as secondary rhymes, with the unimaginative rhyming for rhyming sake, lacking any cohesiveness. And of course, there are the usual braggadocious meanderings, which is soooo tiresome clichéd and predictable. It's no wonder it is lacking in depth and substance. It is a sad state of affairs that something so shallow and trite would be held in such high regard. Unfortunately, the culture we live in does subscribe to the dogma that certain words are bad, and if we are to use those certain words, we will be ostracized. Well... depending on who you are, because there certainly is a double standard.

'Ol Darrin L. is just dying to tell some n-bomb jokes, but now he feels slightly less than great about it. This darn culture and its' dogma and all, blah blah blah.

Words are words. If you have a negative feeling towards certain words, that's on you, not on the word. Sure, use the N word in East St. Louis or Gary or certain ethnic slurs in the Bronx or Queens and then say the same thing. Would love to see how well that works out for you. I wonder who influenced Kendrick Lamar more. Rapper Deborah Harry via "Rapture" in the early 1980's or Kim Kardadhian's husband? This award is reminiscent of Moonlight winning an award. Some of his music is good and thought provoking, but its self serving. Nothing about it benefits all of mankind from what I've heard. Flame away. Look, you like what you like and I'll like what you like. There's something for everyone. But why do certain people always have to impugn the motives of people who don't care for hip-hop by calling them ( in so many words) "old geezers" who are out of touch and fearful of change. I've listened to Lamar and while I recognize his talents and gifts, I really don't care for his message and I think the man is monumentally over-praised --critics trip over each other trying to throw superlatives and prizes at him--precisely because they agree with his political message. I don't because I see daily the fruits of the glorification of ghetto-culture and the glamorization of the drug dealer and nothing will improve ( and hasn't improved in decades) no matter how many "woke" hipper-than-thou white liberals listen to Kendrick Lamar. Show me an instance where Kendrick Lamar glamorizes drug dealers. No, it isn't. Show me where it is implied. Why are you bothering? He has no proof at all to back up his claims and every one of us that likes KL knows he isn't glamorizing much of anything let alone the drug trade. Maybe you're right. I'm singling him out because I'm over-generalizing and grouping him together with others hip-hop who do glamorize the drug culture, and I guess I'm being unfair. I'm going to delete my original comment because I'm not in the mood for this. Edit----I can see that it was already done for me. Gotta stick to the narrative.....

I don’t know what the world’s coming to tbh. Telepricker’s long rant about giving up all physical media for good (toys out of the pram) didn’t last long as he then poated yesterday about his RSD “haul” and of all people it was our close friend MYKE who picked him up on it. Wtf??

Darrin L is the worst SHite ever. Fucking pig motherfucker. Agree. Whenever there's a thread about someone black, he's all over it, like with the one about Quincy Jones. And here, for example.

The hall of fame of dim-bulb right-wing critical thinking:
"If it's OK for them to use the N-word, why isn't OK for us to use it?"
"If we're descended from apes, then why are there still apes?"
"Cars kill people as many people as guns do, so should we ban them too?"
"How can there be global warming if it snows in April?"

If the US’ political and social climates weren’t such as it were currently - ripe with identity politics, gentrification, cultural appropriation, safe spaces and the like - I have to wonder 1) if we’d even be having this discussion regarding MR. Lamar’s achievement; and 2) if he would have been nominated/claimed victory in the first place. I’m trying to put my finger on the differences between Neil Young and Kendrick Lamar that might lead you to treat the former’s transgressive lyrics gently and respectfully, as cogent and “poetic, and the latter’s as disjointed and offensive. What could possible explain such a blatant double standard? Wait, don’t tell me, it’s right on the tip of my tongue.... :laugh: Let me guess. It's the most overused word weapon of choice? The one used to shut your opponent up? When all else fails throw down the card......... I'm sorry, but the quoted piece does NOT prove that there was no socio-political agenda in the selection process. Of course, the professor of African-American Literature and Music doesn't say that there was either, but does she have to? There is little in our culture today---little in society in general-- that does NOT come complete with a socio-political agenda. This is doubly true to when it comes to bestowing laurels upon artists and even more so when you are talking about academia, when the subject is race and when it's NPR. I don't believe I'm skirting the rules of this forum to state that in 2018 America everything is political. Ischwart is at least intellectually honest enough to ask why it shouldn't always be political. But can the rest of us be intellectually honest enough with ourselves to stop pretending otherwise? That's enough. Eleven posts deleted, maybe we'll have time to review more of this thread later.

Ariana Grande new single - No Tears Left To CryA big positive about it has to be - no guest rappers! Are you insinuating you know more than the Pulitzer committee? No! I hope you're not being serious! I've nothing against rap at all, I just don't like the way a lot of pop songs from the last 10 years or so have a guest rapper shoehorned in, no matter how unnecessary it is or clunky it sounds. But I have no problem with rap itself. I haven't heard the Kendrick Lamar album but I will give it a listen. Upon hearing the news of his Pulitzer victory I listened to his masterpiece "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe". I can honestly say I love it as much any rap record I've ever heard. High praise indeed. I'll definitely give it a listen soon.
