people who have had convos with moby about rap music

Thats a lot of white people, suspect.

I don't know. I think I spot a Malaysian piano in the middle somewhere.

Chris Rock says he's not a racist, so I trust him. Dude knows a lot about racism.

i highly doubt that moby is a racist. but he did say some at least quasi-racist shit in those two tweets.

well the second one is less racist and more "i have no clue about rap music"

eat my ass, am0n

would am0n be able to say he's a "convo" with you after this exchange

WE GOT A GREAT BIG CONVO ROCKIN THROUGH THE NIGHT

though asking Chris Rock "am I racist?" gives me the same feeling as Eminem dueting with Elton John to quell all the "homophobic" talk

my dad told me off cos when i was 7 i thought the chorus was "We're gonna drive this fuckin convoy/Cross the USA"

though asking Chris Rock "am I racist?" gives me the same feeling as frogbs IMing calum to quell all the "troll" talk

dave cool getting pretty butthurt itt

fyi, all i was trying to say is that moby was like making sure Nikki D was getting work in 1999 and going out of his way to work with Public Enemy in the '00s, and writes mad royalty checks to Spoonie G, and I'm guessing his relationship with rap music is a little deeper than "LOL BLACK PPL TALKIN BOUT THE HOOD"

but please keep trying to suzy me, am0n

i thought moby was black

you're thinking of rog from what's happening

i don't think you have to be a card-carrying racist to make the occasional clumsy unfunny racially stereotyped tweet

... but it doesn't hurt!

(sorry)

Dan i'd already thought of that punchline then i forgot to do it

the moby symbol is actually a broken swastika

but please keep trying to suzy me, am0n

moby: "i don't care if you're black, white, green, blue man group.."

lol

even the whale was white

is 'oi vey' the kind of music that jewdriver plays?

xpost LMFAO

going out of his way to work with Public Enemy in the '00s

You make it sound like he was doing them a favor.

well tbh

I refuse to post the Custosesque Moby going out of his way to work with Flavor Flav dialogue going on in my head right now.

you're welcome, ilx.

to be a fly on the wall

pretty sure Eric Clapton's not racist, he's played loads of black people's music

Elvis Costello hangs out in New Orleans and I mean

did he write mad royalty checks to muddy waters

Don't invoke my name to justify your petty internecine shit, please.

It's dumb (and ironic) for Moby to josh about rappers in museums or whatever because he's definitely been the rich popstar invited to the art dinner purely because some gallerist or collector thought they were being edgy in 2001. I think he was doing that thing of speaking with complacency because a) he's 45 and b) until this moment he was operating under the misapprehension that he had one of those elusive 'free passes' - in any case it is not an appropriate joke and I'm disappointed.

why... why are they making those faces

what is the boogie doing to them

for someone that loves rap music, he apparently has no idea what jay-z had rapped about since like 2003

A charitable interpretation might be that Moby was just musing about how far Jay-Z had come, that rapping about MoMA was the apotheosis of an ongoing trend.

that is a classic example of how Twitter is terrible

you are not talking to your friends in private, you are blasting nonsense out to everyone on Earth

stop it

i've had lots of convos with some dude and everything points to the fact that some dude seriously likes rap music.

nahhhhh can't be!

"It's over, frizz-head," chanted hundreds of jubilant men and women massed in Green Square, using a mocking nickname of the curly-haired Qaddafi.

too soon?
