Yeah, that’s always been the advice of the greats that have actually led social change. Gandhi and MLK always advised burn down that shit... that you actually paid for with money taken out of your check each week... cause, uh, that accomplishes... a lot.

It’all make people pay attention in a bad way. It puts the movement in a bad light. The community is served by those buses being destroyed and payed for with taxes from the community.

So civilians are injuring/killing other civilians. This is supposed to improve relations between police and the community?

It seems perverse to me that you are openly rooting for the police to have murdered an innocent man rather than have engaged in the justified use of force.

The first guy to take a knee during the National Anthem was a trailblazer (or, if you prefer, a martyr for a cause.) The small number of people who who first followed that guy’s lead are the types who don’t like to see one person take all the flak from society for not conforming to a social tradition. The growing…

You know huh?

Big Pun is a bit of an enigma. Amongst hip hop heads his inclusion on your short list of “greatest MC’s of all time” signifies your attention within the genre, but when the discussion pivots to Capital Punishment – the only album released during his lifetime – there’s a sudden reluctance to list it among the great…

Al Davis gets shit for being such a curmudgeon, but man, go back and take a look at his early days, dude was WAAAAY ahead of his time on many of the social issues that still confound many of the “owners in their 60's or 70's.” Although, he did give us his son, soooooo maybe it’s a wash.

This is the National Football League, not the Nipples of Females & Labias!! Stick to sports!!!!

Eh, I'm sure when the big moment comes the Seahawks will probably pass.

I can’t relate to “what if this happened to me?” I can only relate via my relationship with women. I have never been sexually or physically victimized and have little chance of it ever happening to me. So I’m trying to sympathize as best I can.

Poor take. You can have issues with the government but still respect the country

Lol sweet straw man Timmy. Really knocked it out of the park there!

the four swimmers spoke to U.S. State Department officials and they agreed to shut up. Almost immediately after the briefing, Lochte “walked across the street” and gave an interview

I would like to know why Tim Marchman does not answer my emails in anywhere close to a timely fashion. I'll hang up and listen.

None of those things will ever happen. I'm sorry.

NOPE. DON’T REMEMBER THAT AT ALL.

I really don’t think this one should need much explaining. The only time you’ll hear something released before ‘87 is 1) at an Old School Hip Hop party, 2) in your earphones, because you wanted be reminded of your youth / listen to something new / say you listened to it. The average career in hip hop is well under a…

Well, well, well. You all thought I was dead; natch, but daily writing about bad songs – despite being much easier than writing about good songs – still has a habit of occupying the space reserved for, you know, “daily writing.” No matter. But today, to make your Monday that much better, is the return of The 25 Best…

their fans are boys and man-children and “they know not what it means”.
