Maybe it's time to calm down about Community. It's not the best show ever.

Too bad you're going to ignore this, then: even if Chuck D heads a self-described "liberal" talk radio show, that does not necessarily make him a iberal, given how right-wing self-described liberals can often be. Like, you know, supporting war in Afghanistan and Iraq, while worrying about the paltry few deaths of "our

Chuck D has stated openly that he believes Louis Farrakhan is a prophet. He has never glossed over the fact that he is a member of NOI and a black separatist. He is by any reasonble definition right-wing. End of discussion.

Chuck D is a marble-mouthed right-winger. Nation of Islam promotes black separatism, and is not liberal, never mind leftist. In the future, I suggest you shut the fuck up and think about what you're about to say before you say it and then not say it and then examine why you think what you think. Retard.

Nah. There are several bullshit tracks, including the title one, Pollywanna, Reggie Jax, and several others. On the other hand, there are B-Side Wins Again, Fight the Power, and several other great tracks. it's half great, half dismissible.

Have you ever read Chuck D's lyrics? Right wing. Nation of Islam? Right wing.

That's only "insanely" productive for a millionaire. Most artists should expect themselves to be more or less constantly productive.

because black music artists naturally have so much SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL. White people just can't appreciate that.

I remember Arrested Development quite well, so there goes Jimi Izrael's shit-crock theory.

Public Enemy, dumbass. They're fucking Farrakhanites. And all those asshole ten-percenters like Busta Rhymes. Many examples could be named.

Also, you forgot, among numerous other contenders, The Low End Theory.

Of those you listed, Fear of a Black Planet and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx are far overrated. Fear of a Black Planet has so much stupid filler. Listen to it again. Some great stuff, too, of course, but if it were half the length it would be one of the best of the 90s.

I think most people would disagree with you. That is a mighty strong and almost outrageous claim you've made there, mister/miss.

Was it really bullshit, though? Please prove it. I don't know enough about Lauryn Hill or the arguments that she either is or is not a black supremacist.

You just confuse things with phrasing like that. "Reverse racism" is just racism from a non-white point of view. I guess you probably understand this, but your wording sucks.

You may be right, though check out N+1's book "What Was the Hipster?" for a nice summary on the subject.

Clearly you missed the first sentence of my response to your post. (Ahem). "Are you KIDDING ME?" Which is to say: Van der Werff is never correct, about anything.

No fucking way! This movie is really mediocre. You're looking at it through rose/90s-colored magic nostalgia glasses.

No problem. I call 'em like I see 'em!

Everybody thinks white hipsters are stupid. But those, such as yourself, who take enough time and energy to complain about hipsters, tend to fall on the douchebag end of the hipster/douchebag spectrum.
