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

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?

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.

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

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

of course black people watch animes, but it's definitely white hipsters leading the charge in co-opting anime imagery for their art in 2013: i.e., Elite Gymnastics/Dead Girlfriends, Laurel Halo, Oneohtrix Point Never, etc
I mean, yeah Chris Breezy will drop a single cover now and then, but anime/j-pop/etc seems like a very integral part of the predominately white Tumblr-electronics world that Kitty Pryde is assuredly familiar with

This is based on extremely unscientific observations...but my place of employ does give me a somewhat unique view and I think that everyone would be surprised by how wrong the stereotype that black kids aren't into anime/jrpg/street fighter/dragonballz/etc really is
