i disagree with balls' characterization of goonsquatters but i am glad we have a true enemy in the era of Mordy & the thrilling debate itt are the rolling hip-hop threads racist?

you can't blame Mordy for those results tho tbrr

i actually hadn't seen the results til just now--i only blame mordy for being boring!

i don't think the position is indefensible, i just don't find it a very interesting one when no one is, like, defending it. aside from it being a thread where people discuss gangster rap, i do wonder what about the content of the thread is seen as racist by ilxors. maybe that seems naive but rejection of gangster rap music is not a position i associate with ilx, but maybe more people feel that way than i've imagined, or maybe there's something about the way we post about it that ppl feel is racist... any of that would have been more interesting than what we got
anyways i'm glad to have an angry dude who writes a lot of words on our nuts v.s. smug cultural studies dude, is all

lol yeah I kinda guessed that too
and there is basically no discussion in the poll thread so yeah I don't know what the majority of voters were thinking

do i even want to ask?
"harlem shake" is such a boring track
folks are spinning it that because baauer had the track down and didn't take down the version with el-p from a few months ago, he's afraid of having a black rapper on a track or something (never mind that there's an official version coming down the pike with juicy j), i don't fucking know tbh (and yeah "harlem shake" is just not even worth thinking about)

do you guys ever get in those moods where you need to seek something out that will just infuriate you? like you havent really bitched about something in a while, and you want to vent about something but you haven't really encountered anything too horrid lately?
i rarely get in those moods but when i do i turn to azealia banks to make me extremely upset
she is just the absolute worst and everything she has ever done has been the worst.
college kid things like macklemore and harlem shake are infuriating in their own right, but at least they're basically known quantities. like, being into macklemore makes you dreadfully bland but doesn't make you a bad person or anything. i can't imagine what it would be like to meet a hardcore azealia banks fan. i'm pretty sure it would go from eye rolling to open disgust.

I know ppl like to pretend that musicians being incredibly fucking stupid doesn't and shouldn't matter but come the fuck on
ESPECIALLY here, where the only thing Azealia Banks has shown she's good at is saying outrageously stupid things
