When I saw her with my husband he said afterwards "I've never been so excited to see a man shake his ass!"

I generally feel the same, as in, the music is not nearly as fun to listen to if you aren't able to bust it open and release your wiggle. BUT that being said, I did play that song Crazy the other day while working and I actually could groove to it more than her other stuff.

I mean, I'm sure that's true of some bounce but even Big Freedia' sissy bounce? She has such a distinctive voice and fun vibe I couldn't imagine holding that other bad bounce against her!

I will not stand for anyone calling Big Freedia stupid! It's a dumb question and most people answer the question with something less than villainous. She just didn't have the even pretend that question is worthwhile and answered with her trademark positivity.

Kind of? You're giving him too much credit. I think he used it because even though it makes sense in the context of the song and English history, all of that is drowned out by such a loaded word among U.S. audiences. He was poised to break big in the U.S. with Armed Forces but did not want to make it easy on himself…

For sure. And what a dickish thing to do, play with deep racial tensions for shock value! I mean, I love him in no small part for his dickishness.

Sure, I agree. But it doesn't matter, that word doesn't get softened by that context when you hear it in the U.S. It's a white guy saying the n-word.

She did bounce Lil Kim's boob that one time, that was pretty goofy!

It also needed to be funny. It was just written like any other sitcom, like you said. It reminded me a lot of The George Lopez Show (based on the little bit of both I watched.) I think they were trying to get a bigger audience with a dumber kind of comedy but it seems the people who are more interested in racially…

That pond makes a difference. It's just more fraught in the U.S. and intent doesn't matter. It is worth it to me to replace it with "buddy" if I'm singing along to a rap song or say the n-word if I'm talking about it in this context. Hearing/reading me say it doesn't do anything except maybe offend someone who has…

Yup I'm white and I ain't saying it. I enjoy the discussion and loved this episode but I just don't think it's my place even if it "cheapens" the discourse.

I definitely have no problem with it because when Bow is manic, it's amazing. She's got crazy facial expressions for days. "ZERO MEANS ZERO!!!"

I just recently got into a "early 2000's J. Lo" mood and watched the video for I'm Real like 20 times and was thinking about how it was a big deal at the time that she said the n-word in that song. I just figure she was with Diddy at the time and thought she had earned a pass!

And the bleeping really was hilarious when Jack said it with such joy in the back of the car!

I feel like sometimes a song sounds more interesting with the edited lyrics because I'm all for cursing but it can be kind of a lazy way of taking up syllables. I've always loved "Back That Thing Up" but only really knew the radio edit and when I heard the unedited it just sounded a little more bland. Like "you's big…

That one is always a surprise… try what I suggest above "one less white buddy"

I'm a white lady rap lover and have always gotten tripped up by what I'm going to say instead in a Karaoke setting but I saw Natasha Leggero do this weird bit where she just sang that "In Love with the Coco" song and threw baking soda at the audience and she replaces the offending word with "buddy." I liked it and…

It's like duh! I hadn't read your comment but said something similar above…there is nothing offensive about the show doing that scene, it makes perfect sense, but we ARE supposed to be offended that the Lyons took a real issue and tried to profit from it because they are awful people.

I don't understand the problem people have with the concert. Mass incarceration is a legitimate issue so they knew it would bring people out and it was genius to make Lucious the face of it. Every character on the show is craven and power hungry so of course they would take advantage of the opportunity to create a…

I went from a Kreyshawn rabbit hole into a Li'l Debbie rabbit hole, she made a lot of videos! They were terrible but I enjoyed them (and you can see where Miley stole her "edgy" new aestetic)
