major lee snake Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That whole video becomes funnier if you consider it a 25 minute roast, directed solely at TJ "Henry" Yoshi. You need to imagine the WOMBO COMBO guys screaming in the background, as well as all those CoD kids, with some Dubstep interspersed throughout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I was on a plane full of other students and I disagreed with someone that "white women being involved in rap music oppresses black people by participating in their culture without having to pay the price of 'intersectional oppression'". An hour-long argument resulted with 6 other students, who were trying to convince me of the sin of 'cultural appropriation'. Such bullshit; we should care only about the quality of a musician's performances, rather than their skin colour. I didn't realise this was, evidently, a minority position. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 7 hours ago, LazerMaster5 said: They're just afraid to admit that Eminem can outrap any black rapper. They said they didn't mind Eminem. They were upset about Iggy Azalea, because she 'sounds too black'. She had, according to them, appropriated the black voice and made it palatable to white people, whilst avoiding the subjugation that black people suffer. They thought that she represented the oppressor stealing the voice of the subjugated and profiteering from it. I think this is all pretty ludicrous. I put it to them that telling someone they're not allowed to sing in a certain style because of their race, no matter what that race is, is racist. Their response was that only white people can be racist, because 'racism is a power structure'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGravitas Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 You don't need to be well-informed about everything to vote. The individual neurons of the brain haven't a clue what thoughts they contribute their specialized inputs towards forming. What you DO need to be is open-minded, willing to discuss with civility, and the humility to change your mind when presented with new information. This the foundation of a greater mind, though not a perfect or infallible one for there can be no such thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 part of the reason the current rock deaths are so shocking is because there are very few people who have come and made as notable an impact on music society anymore. at the same time, just as classical no longer has eras defined by a set of composers but a trend of what many composers do, this might not even suggest that its due to lack of talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more, most forms of AAVE are not actually AAVE; they are just regional dialects from an area with large numbers of African Americans. I do defend AAVE out of a passion for language, but it bothers the heck out of me when people defend it when they have no idea what they are talking about. I hate it even more when a person confuses a Southern dialect with a form of AAVE and defends that, or they mix a Southern dialect with AAVE and defend that creation. What they come up with usually sounds more like Tom or Huck speaking than it does Jim, and Twain didn't even make his accent much different. I once disagreed with a person that argued that, if for nothing else, we should preserve AAVE for its unique use of 'been' and 'done.' All those times my mother hounded me to do things by saying, "I done told you," and me responding with, "I been done," - but more honestly either "I was fixing to been done" or "I done been on it" - were apparently just cases of us exercising our fluency in a form of AAVE. 11 hours ago, Saxon said: I had to look up that acronym.

The wonderful thing is that many black rappers do not actually speak or sing a form of AAVE, and modern rap owes some of itself to Hispanic influence. Some people seem not to understand how culture and language work. Also, AAVE is not necessarily a Southern dialect. It shares features - many features - but it is different. It is like the "Amish" accent being in the North, but not being a Northern accent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
