But anyone who is speaking out against their music isn't supporting it, so your theory falls apart. All anyone is doing is speaking out against why they think their work is wrong, and they're entitled to do that. Personally, I have just as much a problem with a sociopathic character like Patrick Bateman being…

Ehhhhh, I'm not extroverted at all, and I dunno, I feel like if I look at my work overtime, I grow to hate it because I can see what's wrong with it and then I get insecure, so I don't know.

Also, No one said it was right when the Rolling Stones or anyone, sang about this stuff. And that wasn't the point of my original post, so once again, you keep making this about how certain artists do it and don't get called out, and even if they don't, thats more reason to make noise. I keep seeing this brought up,…

Wow, I didn't see these. That was incredibly disappointing to read but thank you for sharing them. But don't you see that as a symptom of a bigger issue that plagues the mainstream music? Tyler the Creator still has male privilege and uses that against women, regardless of whether it's his persona or not. I honestly…

I'm not sure what to make about this comment, if you're really trying to be condescending or if I'm just reading it that way. Either way, I hope it's the latter but even if it isn't, I can politely respect that we're on different pages of one book, so I thank you for your time. But really, there's all kinds of issues…

"Strange, I'd always understood that the music grew out of the culture and the bleak social and political landscape of NYC in the late seventies. Community and beats aren't divorced, and it's certainly not a chicken-and-egg sort of scenario. "

Lmao, this might be the best Leo Strut I've seen.

Did I ever fucking say that? No, I didn't. Don't make this shit about Black Rappers. This is specifically about Tyler the Creator and how much of an ass he is. I have never heard the Beatles endorse raping and beating a woman in their lyrics, and the same for Johnny Cash. You know nothing about either fanbase to make…

You're entitled to think what you want, but I'm sorry, it's not an alternate past. If it wasn't for the likes of DJ Kool Herc and the Herculoids, we wouldn't have Hip Hop. I agree with the idea that it was and always will be a culture, but the people who turned it into a monopoly don't and can't respect it's history.…

I'm not surprised. It's Jezebel.

Yeah pretty much spot on. This isn't even an attempt at concern trolling about how women and young girls dress provocatively, because there's always some gross undertones of slut shaming to those arguments, but this is totally different, you watch these shows and these girls looked overly dolled up. I honestly doubt…

Remember when Hip Hop use to be about the DJ and not about these obnoxious ass rappers? Why do these people still think it's all about them? Real talent lies in the people who find these beats and can make these records do amazing things with just a touch of their finger. I miss when Hip Hop was organic in that it…

For real. Tyler the Creator sucks ass. "Yonkers" is a stupid song.

Did you just compare Tyler the Creator to Johnny goddamn Cash and the motherfucking Beatles? Because two of these things are not alike...

I agree with you. I was watching Nickelodeon with my sister the other day and was depressed at how the girls were wearing so much make up and looked like they were in their 30s. It was just strange, and sad. I remember when kids could look like kids and that was still okay.

Yep, It was a talk show. I remember Nickelodeon played an old episode of it during their Anniversary celebration. I think it also featured Will Friedle from Boy Meets World.

So true. You look at TV these days and it just seems like we've taken steps back rather than forward. Television has never been so pasty.

Hooray, I have a supporter! Now we need to build an army, and STAT!

Yerp, my fam got some tickets in the Nosebleed section of Yankee Stadium. I was deaf but way too busy enjoying myself to "Let Em' In'" and "Helter Skelter" to care and it was totes worth it when Billy Joel came out afterwards to play "I saw her Standing There" on piano with Paul. Highlight of the evening! He only did…

OMG Yeah! Chaka! My favorite was Jen XD and Leah, I just thought Leah was pretty. Although Mecca was pretty too.
