Post a controversial opinion

A Tribe Called Quest's "We the People" is kind of terrible. (Not actually controversial, but I'd have a hard time finding anyone who agrees with me.)

Apart from a couple awkward stresses in Phife's verse, I can't find anything wrong with it, so I'd love to see this opinion developed.

Musically, I don't get anything out it. And it seems really preachy and obvious to me.

we the people is a fantastic song

that is a good post for this thread though

Agreed.

Preachy and obvious is the intention; what sounded like projection in November ("Muslims and gays/boy, we hate your ways") is prophecy now. Also, the snare backbeat and the details in Tip's lines (Ramen noodles, "niggas in the hood livin' in a fishbowl") are pleasures.

I'm not a huge fan of the Mellow Candle album. THERE, i said it. consequences be damned.

I don't think I've ever listened to an entire Tribe Called Quest album. that's not a controversial opinion though. a surprising fact, maybe.

Post a Surprising Fact

haha

Angela Merkel is hot

James Brown has a song about being black and proud, but isn't this kind of obvious?

i'm weirdly attracted to Kellyanne Conway despite thinking she's the worst human being alive

Alex Lifeson is the greatest rock guitarist of the last 40 years

Well now, that's just common sense

I've mostly liked the noir classics I've seen but I thought The Killers was surprisingly "meh".

Visual aid: young Angela Merkel:

??? She looks human jerky that's somehow still animate

Hence why it is controversial

NE have got this

Lady gaga is garbage

Now that's not controversial: she is awful

Lorde is better than your favorite ilm-approved indietronic songstress (Grimes, Crystal Castles, Phantogram, Purity Ring, Sky, LDR, CRJ, Britney, Kraftwerk, Oum Kalthoum, I really don't care) and you are lying to yourself if you refuse to accept this.

that's just depraved

"songstress"

The alluring indietronic of kraftwerk

and Oum Kalthoum!

people should be forced to give a 30 second warning before cumming

ok, Sting

that's excessive and impossible to project accurately...like a cable company telling you theyll be there between 1 and 5 pm

ffs, people, we asked for controversial opinions, not evidence you should be committed

I do, it's called "foreplay".

Alec Baldwin's SNL impersonation of Trump doesn't really look or sound like him, misses any kind of satirical target, and is rarely even funny.

MatthewK i love you

30 sec warning, Tracer

I don't feel anything yet

that's how I roll

Gluten intolerance is a made-up thing

That's not terribly controversial. The existence of nonceliac gluten sensitivity has been debated for decades, and the research suggests about a third of those claiming nonceliac gluten sensitivity have some sensitivity to wheat components (though not necessarily gluten). Some NutritionFacts videos:

Agree with the first part of that, but SNL's had other great impressions that had very little to do with actually sounding or looking like the person, starting with the very first, Chevy Chase's Ford. I did think last week's Trump sketch was the worst yet.

gluten free biscuits might be literally the worst thing i have ever tasted

i feel better when i don't eat a lot of wheat/bread/pasta/etc but i think that's just getting older. i wouldn't say i'm allergic. i definitely feel better without out it though. i do get pretty bad pollen/etc allergies now too. i think it's an age thing. i don't know what the deal is with little kids who can't eat strawberries and tons of other stuff. i don't remember it being like that when i was a kid. but i doubt it's all Roundup related. i don't know what that is.

but yeah there are threads for that. sorry.

My wife has a corn intolerance, if you want to talk about things that it's tough to convince people are real.

Pollen allergies are said to get worse from global warming. My allergies got dramatically worse in 2015.

My wife is allergic to fruit!

oof. that's gotta suck.

i'm allergic to peanuts and anything peanut related. people are pretty fascinated with it. i sometimes have to clarify that yes i'm also allergic to peanut butter and candy with peanuts in them, not just peanuts by themselves.

do they think that coating a peanut in chocolate somehow neutralizes allergens? that'd be a cool trick.
