tumblr rapper kitty pryde

Just reminded that there are like literally 1000s of anime tribute videos set to Jay-z

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

the moral of this story is that live-blogging is stupid and always has been.

srsly whiney tho what a bullshit post that was

everything ghostface killah knows about shaolin he learned from tumblr

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

let's keep pretending i said black people aren';t interested in anime, that should be fun

why does black people never want to nerd

i mean for fucks sake this is the Weeknd's recent stage show

ffs

I remember being so surprised at first and feeling kind of ashamed that I was, but especially back when I first started we were still getting more letters still so you could see the postmarks and kids would send pictures because we were still doing a reader top 5 in the magazine each month

Good to know that "co-opting" is going the way of "slut-shaming" via overuse, like it can be applied to anime now?

see whiney if i were you the defensive posture i wouldve taken is that you were appropriating kitty prides pov re anime culture

ha

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"

she had to apologize for not getting Jay-Z's spousal abuse joke?

What happened to your phrase tumblr white

Why is it now tumblr electronics

That blog post isn't really hard to understand

I understand that it's fucking terrible

whiney bringing very intense demographic research to the table here

lol

Really struggling to care about any of this

Kitty pryde is the worst tho obv

in retrospect, i feel bad for ever having suggested otherwise

vice magazine still the worst, before kitty pryde there was momus

her apology essay on tumblr was pretty decent, esp considering she's like 18 or something

the rise of noisey may actualy be the single worst thing about music in 2013

she's almost 22 but hey

ha yeah i had no idea for sure

vice magazine still the worst, before kitty pryde there was momus

I love whiney's comment about black people appropriating anime via white people backtracking, conclusively proven by instances of black artists using anime-like imagery

unrelated but w/e
