inert music plus a voice with zero charisma or range sleepwalking through a recitation of inanities

Seriously though, this is rockist and w/e but duck dunn and levon and mca passing kinda makes me realize how little time we all have on this planet and now that there is literally an infinite number of things you could pay attention to or think about, maybe the real fundamental battle of our time is trying to really focus and prioritize your attention....like I've never heard Brahms but I've posted several times in a thread about some semi clever 15yr old girl that raps on youtube

there are some serious greatest hits on here. i also liked jess' post about his grandfather.

the only thing i'm an expert on is knowing what i like, though i'm building strong skills in challops and appearing open-minded

This thread saved my life

haha i'm just getting to the part where mordy gets pissed off about a chris hansen joke from DJP

mordy is taking a bold stance against pop culture references & internet memes. as a board we should be grateful.

whenever i find myself posting on one of these threads multiple times i have a vision of my grandfather in a muddy ditch, with water in his boots, being shot at by nazis, defending western civilization, and then wondering why he bothered.

this has turned out to be one of the most prescient posts in ilm history

sounds like a good title for a list thread

up there with jess predicting a danny brown association

and someone else calling the riff raff collab

it's like the script is already written

so fucking embarrassing

i saw her perform recently......... it was not good. i felt kinda bad.

she was not good this summer, either.

i feel like you have to be pretty exceptional to have a good live rap set, especially with a laptop dj.. the ideas that go into tumblr cloud rap don't really mesh with the ideas that go into live performance

If "knowing how to rap" was a criterion for being a rapper in 2013, you might feel differently.

I agree! I count "knowing how to rap" as being "pretty exceptional"

serious q: what is the inescapable criterion for being a rapper in 2013
because with holograms, it's not even a pulse

a twitter account

that's kinda what i assumed her performances would be like anyway? centering your performing persona around half-hearted self-deprecation just seems like something that is easier to pull off on record than in front of a live audience.

i mean there seems to be a constant stream of 'lol im a dorky wite rapper sorry you paid to see me' types like MC Chris touring rock clubs across the country, she seems to have tapped into a cottage industry that's been depressing and modestly profitable for a long time

You have no idea

lol

This is really annoyingly written but etherous http://www.thecoloredboy.com/2013/12/eat-cake-anime-on-white-cluelessness.html?m=1

i'm madder at whoever commissioned that in the first place than kitty pryde

one of those "rip criticism" moments

justin bieber's initials on all my winter clothes
justin bieber has to take me out to dinner though
justin bieber on my notebooks and my pens
justin bieber is my very best friend
justin bieber posters as ii pretend he's kissin' me
justin bieber bulbs on my x-mas tree

=]

i dunno if i'm that mad at kitty pryde initially mishearing the anna mae / anime thing. i mean, mondegreens, w/e. does that really make her racist?

miley cyrus as a reference point for ***flawless is pretty wack tho.

she's got vice/noisey US locked for some reason...i've had negative pieces on her commissioned by the UK branch and then told they can't run due to her being best mates with American editors.

Obviously the Beyonce piece was pretty shit (I don't think anyone liveblogging an album would be very interesting really) but not really sure if she's a racist?

why is she famous

according to tcb, kitty's piece suggests that she lives in a bubble of depressingly oblivious whiteness. some difference between that and being racist, imo.

ymmv

according to tcb, kitty's piece suggests that she lives in a bubble of depressingly oblivious whiteness.

it's called "daytona beach" fyi

when are we going to get that "is she a racist or not?" isn't the issue when someone calls out the promotion of ignorant shit

^ yeah, that

you just can't teach these white ppl

one of those "rip criticism" moments
