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

music criticism may be dead but were in the golden age of media criticism

globalism really is one of the most beautiful things

Not really surprised that Hov knows about deep anime cuts though

After all Kanye invented the genre + Hov and Ye worked together on #WTT so it makes sense that Ye would have told Hov

white rapper appropriating black culture explodes with joy because she thought a black artist was appropriating white appropriation of japanese culture

every generation gets the RAWKAN discussion on SoulStrut it deserves

ah-knee-may

It's really cracking me up that in her long earnest apology she still messes up the name and says "Annie Mae" instead of "Anna Mae"

Misspoke an "ola mae" Warren g reference imo

i cannot read that blog post posted upthread b/c of the way it's written. what happened to real paragraphs? how can people summon the fortitude parse this stuff?

p.s. i could give two shits about the actual "debate."

Amateurist have you heard of this concept called 'smarm'

i have! the whole thing reads like its smugness has just overtaken its ability to communicate anything clearly

That blog post isn't really hard to understand

it was for me

i guess i'm just old

well not hard to understand just impossible to actually read

Best part about this post is how it implies black people don't watch anime

don't forget white critic who's made his career defining what is and isn't real black culture while working at places that don't hire blacks

Haha I thought about making some kind of variation on that but gave up and watched some more anime music videos instead
