The idea that lighter-skinned blacks are more conventionally beautiful is a tale as old and hosed up as white supremacy itself. KVeezy3 fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Jul 26, 2020 |

To be more precise it’s a superficial take because it’s a scoldy gotcha that’s clearly coming from personal beef I don’t mean to convey the concept is without value in discussion

It’s just an in-progress version sent to Hype Williams (perhaps for inspiration while writing the Runaway short film?). Some parts are different such as the intro to Dark Fantasy, other parts are obv just temp tracks, early solo versions of That’s My Bitch and The Joy are on it, there’s three new tracks but none of them have any vocals, Lost in the World is 8 minutes long. It’s not essential listening or anything but it’s quite interesting

Ahhhh that hits spot on with what I was trying to reason out, thank you Her tweet also wasn't even meant to start a discussion of it, like somebody above says I think it's just a gotcha cause she's like "but this is a discussion for another time" - so then you're just trying to point fingers at specific people regarding who they marry and that you think it's hosed up, and don't expect anyone to say what the gently caress? thanks y'all for engaging with me on this, def helpful to me and gives me a lot more poo poo to look into and think hard on

On the other hand gently caress him. Dude didn't need to go on a loving 2 week long harassment crusade of one woman because someone made an offhand comment. That says way more about how much of a idiot insecure piece of poo poo he is, not to mention it's not the first time he's done some gently caress poo poo like this. This is just the first time he's done it where there is such a loving massive power disparity between him and his target. And he just kept loving harassing this person for one comment. For 2-3 loving weeks.

Right, but this also points to a broader ontological problem produced with the “victory” of neo-liberalism: in this case, the hyper-focus on the individual as the mainstream form of discourse around social justice. It’s only relatively recently that movements for democratic socialism & Black Lives Matter have been able to meaningfully shift the discourse. And of course their ideas are deemed too unrealistic, dangerous and un-American by the ruling class & significant segments of the population.

I understand this but it’s still super lovely to immediately accuse, personally, people of things and then hide from defense of that accusation with “there are complex discussions to be had about this!!!” Of course it doesn’t matter as he just lost his poo poo instead

The narrative is leveraged to emphatically locate society’s problems in the individual, which further ensures the smooth functioning of the status quo. Remember the declarations of Obama’s post-racial America? I think this aspect partly contributed to Kanye’s hard right-wing turn.

Johnny Truant posted:oh poo poo i totally forgot about new Black Star album! Basically there's a whole thing where traditionally darker skinned black women are often seen as less attractive (or are portrayed that way) (as an aside, it's not just a thing for blacks, you can look in many places where darker skinned people are often seen as less attractive for various reasons I'll not get into here). This is combined with the fact that lighter skinned black people are often seen as less "black" than darker skinned. So it's basically a combination of those things-some probably justifiable things having to do with black men supporting standards of beauty that harm black women, and also some kinda bullshit stuff about black men not dating "real" black women (similar to the backlash many receive when they date non-black women in general).

Which may actually be the best/most mature way to handle a lot of these twitter blowups but still. Vargatron posted:Checking out Guy right now. I'd kill for a modern new jack swing revival. Yeah Guy's classic and really helped shape the sound. Basically anything Teddy Riley was involved in. All the spinoffs from New Edition also really are heavy in that song if you're not familiar with any of them (Ralph Tresvant, Bell Biv Devoe, Johnny Gill, Bobby Brown) and all their spinoffs (ABC, Boys II Men, and a couple others I can't remember). It's funny I actually was listening to something to long ago and thought it kinda had that new jack swing feel but can't recall it for the life of me. I'll post it if I do remember. Also I can give some other recs, but I'm not sure how much you know and a bunch of what I know is more stuff I remember from radio or w/e since I've not done a deep dive or anything. 40 lbs to freedom posted:new edition loving rules if you cant groove to if it isnt love you suck imo This is entirely true.

Right now I'm catching up on Guy and Mint Condition. A friend of mine linked me a playlist labeled "cookout jams" and that's got a lot of good stuff on there.

He's getting clowned for this but Logic is loving brilliant for low key selling a bunch of albums, getting to spend time with his family instead of industry bullshit and inks a super lucrative deal with Twitch to do whatever he wants directly with his fans. Joe Budden was just jealous cause that's always what he wanted to do.

Logic has made good music. He's not a legend or ground breaking. I agree w/Joe that Logic seems to bite Kendrick. But its not a crime and there are way more people you can criticize than Logic. He minds his business and that's respectable.

Wingstop is "hosting" a bunch of top tier DJs today over at https://www.wingstopwingday.com/ Up now is DJ Puffy, Jazzy Jeff & Z-Trip both have sets coming up later today. Shortkut & DJ MrThing, looks like he did an all 45 set too, were up earlier (and their sets are already on youtube). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErAXyO477Kw
