This. I love Jean Grae and all but I'm not trying to buy her albums to twerk to and bump in my car. There is a place for all of them in hip hop. What I see being played out is the tension between conscious and unconscious hip hop, usually re-hashed by old people who don't listen to contemporary hip hop and…

It's hilariously predictable. Ah, yes.

The rape line is not okay, but to trivialize the rest of Nicki Minjaj and her career as just selling out and 'following the steps of Kesha' is wrong. Nevermind her astounding success, listen to her in interviews, watch her, she's in control of herself. She's not a puppet. She's the boss, she's tough, and she's at the…

yes. but o my god, she's mesmerizingly awesome looking. is it bad to say that? i just really love her style.

You have no idea if someone has used that word against her negatively but she is in her 30s and grew up in NYC so I'm going to go with probably. It's not a word that stopped being used as a pejorative after the slaves were freed. Also honkey and cracker are not even a tiny bit comparable to nigger but I will enjoy…

She's from my old hood in Queens, and I've heard enough of her lyric and rhyme heavy songs to know that she can rap her ass off. The more poppy the song she makes, the less lyrical talent is put on display. She is 100% one of the best mainstream MC out here, but she does not get enough respect in that regard; some of…

A post discussing some valid critiques of a successful black woman and the comments section devolves into shitting on rap music, making fun of her style and presentation, and declarative statements about how she isn't talented anyway.

No. Not all of the time. Do better.

No, but when ever someone says race and gender don'tmatter. It seems like they only pick white men. White men aren't the only funny people out there and if white men are the only ones you can find funny you aren't trying that hard to find funny people.

"I'm a male white comedian, and obviously I succeeded only because I'm super duper funny. I have to believe that if others do not succeed it's only because they are not funny, because otherwise it means I have to think less of myself and my ego feels hurt. To me, the possibility of changing and engaging in creating…

There's a difference between making an album of parody songs as art and parodying a song to use in a commercial. If you're using someone else's material to sell toys, that doesn't fall under fair use trademark laws. And my issue is with how they handled it. The Beastie Boys applauded their cause and politely asked…

Do you know what it doesn't feature, though? Their product. And that's because while their marketing is genius, their product is subpar. It's a not very interesting building toy in which you have to thread ribbons through things to turn spools. The amazon reviews have hundreds of complaints of the handles breaking…

I dunno do we need a Disney Princess for everything? They're not really supposed to be realistic they're perfect pretty Princesses.

How about we get a princess with bad skin and who hasn't quite figured out how to use a hair straightener? Even if they make a plus sized princess she'll still be a size 6 with great tits and a perfect smile.

This is a little offtopic, but it shows how important it is for kids to have someone they can recognize themselves in to look up to. They can certainly be inspired by people who are different (I'm not arguing that there has to be a MOM and a DAD!!! or anything ridiculous like that), but there's something special about…

Jesus fuck I hate people who talk about "purple" people when they're discussing race. LOL, reducing non-white people to the level of whimsical, imaginary people! Like I needed another reason to find him repulsive.

Bad move, Jennifer. She should have used chopsticks! It's the only way to keep yourself and your fingers clean. It's how I game and eat chips. Only bad part is you don't get the chip residue buildup on your fingers so you can't lick it off at the end...T_T but a clean keyboard or controller is WORTH IT.

"You acted like you invented something a black subculture had been doing for years? Whoa, me too!" They fuckin' deserve each other.

It totally reminded me of the velveteen rabbit too! But the weirdest thing is that she has never even read it. The idea that you can love something until it becomes real just existed in her tiny adorable head.

Ugh, this just reminds me of my little sister (who is. 4, hella age gap). She has had this doll, Maddie, since she was born and Madi is real. She's her little sister. Maddie is falling apart and she has to go to the doll hospital for ~ 9 months. All my sister wanted for Christmas was a fixed Maddie. My mom, despite…
