This is so articulately put, thank you.

Now he is. Which I agree with. I was speaking on when he started.

95% is a bullshit number. And as I stated, I’m not talking about the people who listen to his music or even the people who own the studios he rapped for. I’m talking about his day to day engagement. Sean Bond puts it perfectly above:

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not but it made me laugh. @seanbond wrote it clearly above, but what I meant by that was that Crews’ career depended on him constantly auditioning, etc., whereas 50 likely only interacted with white people for management/PR reasons...also when he dated Chelsea Handler ha

Apologies, that was unclear - I’m not talking about the people who listen to him, I’m talking about his day to day interaction on the management level. Kendrick Lamar has spoken regularly about how he didn’t start spending any significant time around white people until GKMC blew up and it really messed with his head,…

I mean honestly, maybe you should. I feel that whatever’s happening to Allison in the “present” story line is going to make me roll my eyes so hard I may never see again.

I love Dr. Pimple Popper. Does anyone know - is she just an everyday dermatologist or is she specialized under a different title?

is willfully ignoring the reality of being a black man in Hollywood, something he should certainly understand.

This is Kate Nash?! Holy shit I LOVED her music!

That’s what I’m thinking. They raped her and then word spread that she was the town slut, but ultimately that encounter made her more sexually available or whatever. So when the guys are joking about her giving blowjobs it makes him feel ashamed because now he knows that what he and his friends did was wrong and led…

That’s not right; according to two-party consent laws alone they would need a release. Whether that release can happen verbally (where an affirmative to “do you consent to being interviewed?” would suffice) or via a signature is up to a state by state law. 

They’ve also been teasing a showdown with one of the men in the town posse since the first episode. Every time Camille shows up he looks anxious and runs off - it happened this episode in the bar. I think he likely participated in a sexual assault, likely what was teased last episode in the hunting cabin?

Oh no shit? It was on hiatus? I was under the impression I’d just missed it because season 2 is available online and so I binged it in January.

Honestly, this sounds like the kind of thing that probably happens all the time. Ultimately, I bet his estate doesn’t have a real case. If he had said “off the record” before talking about topics that were separate from the “murder investigation” and then those things were published anyway, they’d have a case, but…

I agree with you, but the law doesn’t work that way in every state. I live in CA, so if you get verbal consent from a subject, you’re golden. But if I’m remembering correctly, only like 10 states have that law, so in every other state you need a written document giving consent, even if they verbally agreed to an…

No snark intended, but journalism vs. entertainment isn’t a real distinction, especially these days. To be clear, I had a hard time listening to S-Town once it was revealed he killed himself because I did find it to be extremely exploitative, though not to a litigious degree (whatever that means).

Apologies, I was unclear. You can write about whomever you want, but in order to include their audio, etc., you need a release from that person. If you get sued, your first order of business is to prove in a court of law that the topic was news-worthy/the public had a right to know.

TRUTH. I hate hate hate Noah. I hate his perspectives and I hate when he’s in other’s perspectives.

Maybe Sierra will wind up giving birth to Vik’s eventual heir.

I’m not the law-adjacent person you’re looking for, but I do have a journalism degree. Further, just as a normal person, I’d like to point out that journalists aren’t entitled to write about anyone they want. They either need 1. a written release (or verbal in the case of states that are okay with that) or 2. need to…
