do we have a thread about "bitch"
if we get one, can we ensure that most of the people posting to it aren't dudes?
@DJP man you are p. forgiving of that Gwen S./Alanis M./Meredith B. sort of alt.Ethyl.Merman style of singing, you have more receptive ears than me & I salute you

Damn, just read DJP's lyric posting. Sounds like some 7th grader writing bad poetry and trying to be really serious and really subversive with it.

^^^ this is basically exactly what's going on w/CR's racist stuff, tho sidenote I encourage all 7th graders to write a lot of poetry & take it really seriously & do all they can to annoy adults who frown on their efforts

NEW RULE any white person who goes to a "kill whitey" party but does not commit suicide by the end of the evening is expelled from the white race, and must henceforth identify on all forms as 'other: poseur'

I think "Kill Whitey" parties are an awful, self-indulgent idea. But when someone has a mixed race parent I won't assume things about them.

I just watched that entire Latifah video
I think the dude that grabs her butt is played by Vinny from Naughty By Nature
Never caught that before
Also as long as this is ostensibly a thread about appropriation and whatnot, remember when 90s rappers like QL would sometimes affect a Jamaican accent just for the hell of it?
― Wimmels, Friday, 12 June 2015 01:20 (eight years ago) link
It's very likely Latifah's family has Caribbean roots.
― DJP, Friday, 12 June 2015 01:56 (eight years ago) link
During this time KRS-One also gained acclaim as one of the first MCs to incorporate Jamaican style into hip-hop, using the Zung gu zung melody, originally made famous by Yellowman in Jamaican dance halls earlier in the decade.[3] While KRS-One used Zunguzung styles in a more powerful and controversial manner, especially in his song titled "Remix for P is Free", he can still be credited as one of the more influential figures to bridge the gap between Jamaican music and American Hip-Hop.
p interesting imo

Um hip hop and dancehall and reggae have been intertwined since, say, Jamaican DJ Kool Herc started hip hop in the Bronx
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 12 June 2015 04:07 (eight years ago) link
Not to mention how much dancehall by the 90s was already influenced by American hip hop, it's a complex process of years of cross pollinization that's really unfair and simplistic to characterize as appropriation
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 12 June 2015 04:11 (eight years ago) link
Cross pollination is fine, fake patois probably isn't if you have no direct link to the Caribbean - though this is getting away from the entirely noble thread purpose of clowning CocoRosie.
