C’mon, you really didn’t think they were going to keep him around, did you?

I always felt that this was “Demolition Man” pt 2. It has a similar spirit. And yes, both are ridiculous 90's action fun.

In his own words from an interview with Spin:

Do you know what R.A.P. stands for in the song? Rebellious African People.

I know, I know...like a lot of people I simply overanalysed this. To be honest, when I first saw them my first reaction was: These are dope! And then my inner critic said,”yeah, but it’s Marvel”! Why? Because growing up(80's, 90's) as a preteen and teen I was really into comics and Marvel was my favorite publisher and…

If you want a more articulate breakdown of what I”m saying just listen to “R.A.P. Music” by Killer Mike. He explains it better than me.

Cultural appropriation is when members of one culture adopt or use elements of other peoples culture. In itself it is not bad, it becomes an issue when one culture has power to re-represent these elements in a way that is anathema to the original meaning. The issue isn’t some white kid making a mixtape. However, when…

The comic book industry IS white/Jewish American culture. Hip Hop IS black American culture. And if you think that it’s simply because most of the artists are black, you really don’t understand anything about the culture.. Ask yourself? Why are most hip hop artists black?

The fact that you called the personas they’ve created for themselves and that we love “fake” show that you will never understand. EVER.

I find this to be insulting. Growing up I was into comics but hardly any super heroes looked like me, or came from my ethnic group. They were nearly all white. Hip Hop artists became my super heroes. Real life super men with larger than life personas: Nas, Jay Z, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Wu Tang Clan, X-Clan, Eric B and…

It’s 100% cultural appropriation. These covers represent artists and their aesthetic sensibilities, both of which grew out of a particular ethnic tradition. Being branded products does not nullify that fact. And appropriation is not the issue, it’s the fact that Marvel, a corporation that has an awful track record…

Oh fuck off!

Hip Hop is a part of Black American Culture. That is doubtless and uncontroversial. In addition, most of these covers are of black artists. Also doubtless and meaningful to the argument.

You seriously can’t be serious? Are you that ignorant?

We aren’t talking about comic books we’re talking about Marvel.

Hip hop is an extension of the blues, Rnb, Jazz, Soul and Funk, all musical genres that originated in Black American Culture. When hip hop artists sample from those genres they are not appropriating, they are simply participating in the same cultural stream. Sampling is more like collage making in so far that one is…

It’s not a shit storm over nothing or we wouldn’t be talking about it. Hip hop is an extension of Black American Culture and Marvel based on it’s history doesn’t give a shite about Black American Culture. These covers are a slap in the face.

Tywin didn’t know how to govern. He knew how to keep and maintain power. Doesn’t make him a good ruler.

The fiction that white’s are somehow more mundane than others is what helps drive and sustain white privilege. “We just regular people. The ethnics on the other hand”

Yeah right?! Who conducted this study? A Boutique? I’ll bet the farm, shop and kids that this is a poorly conducted study. I can go months without buying a knick of thread but everyone woman I know goes shopping at least once a month.
