Playing Devil's Advocate: you can make the argument that the fact that the Black dude's rebuttal being weak is actually a more accurate reflection of this wholly fanciful notion in the first place. That's because a lot of left-leaning blacks really, REALLY suck at defending against these talking points. The conservative side always has their ducks in a row and that's reflected by the fact that we gave one of their monkeys keys to the White House.

And again, it's a faulty premise, but that's far from making the video wholly irrelevant with no right to exist. It's music. It's supposed to appeal to your emotional core (which is far more effective at getting people to care about something than being academic). This isn't an excerpt from a Ta-Nehisi Coates piece.

Dorky white politicians hire young social media handlers... not sure why it annoys me so much. Seeing people fawn over the Seattle PD because of their social media handling kind of kills me.. they are a bunch of racist thugs.. but hire out a 3rd party company to handle things like that so go viral all the time with funny tweets.
lol it's smart dont hate the player hate the game breh

(and Toronto loves him for it, especially when he said Meek wasn't welcome here lol)

Yes I'm sure because he poses with Drake he lsitens to enough rap to make a joke about the young metro tagline without help from a staffer.

You's a mark.

He's been asked about this stuff before:
Kelly's command of contemporary rap vernacular is curiously precise. Impressive too is his fluency in the language of memes: scarcely does he misuse a Gif or hashtag, or deploy a "bae" when he really means "woes". Young people, meanwhile, have a low tolerance for imposters and a keen eye for spotting the fakes. They're quick to call out politicians like Hillary Clinton for trying to sound hip, and lately some have been wondering if Kelly has someone else pulling the levers behind the scenes. Kelly slammed Meek Mill when Mill insisted Drake employed a ghostwriter. Now Kelly is often accused of the same.

The chief suspect is Jerry Nasr, a special assistant in Kelly's office. Toronto media tend to refer to Nasr's presence in the office in a somewhat accusatory way: there are often "rumors" of his involvement with the Twitter account, or suggestions that his purview extends beyond what he claims. "With pictures and stuff," he told me vaguely, when I asked outright in what way he helped.
Kelly elaborated: "One of the things I learned, early on, was that a tweet that uses a visual gets more viewers than just text. I asked Jerry if he could do the time-consuming search for photographs to illustrate what I'm looking for. If he finds something that really intrigues him, he brings it to my attention." Nasr, too, keeps Kelly "up to date with what's trending", but the content, he insists, "is all Norm".

Wouldn't be the first time he made a Metro joke either:

When you won't let reading comprehension stop your warpath.

Talking about ourself?

r. If he finds something that really intrigues him, he brings it to my attention." Nasr, too, keeps Kelly "up to date with what's trending"

Oh yeah.. you know.. his young staffer "brings things to his atention" and "keeps him up to date with what's trending"... but you think this 74 year old white dude came up with Metro Boommin jokes on his own.

Man remember when Thug was just accidentally dropping the best shit ever like every other week? It's been like six months since EBBTG and a over year since Jefferey. One day.

I've said this before, but Lyor Cohen is one dumb motherfucker. Young Thug could have had tapes with three of the hottest acts in the game, years before they blew up, and instead, he pushed Thug into irrelevancy.

Imagine the series of choices someone must have made throughout their life that led to them stanning for Post Malone.

Who are you, what are you talking about, why are you talking, what bullshit are you referring to
lmao @ saying "who are you why are you talking" on a fuckin internet message board like a cornball
An artist has to reach a certain barometer for me to feel a need to separate their work from their personal life.

I was using barometer as a euphemism for talent level, not sure your reply makes any sense

"you must be this talented for me to be cool with you beating the shit out of women"

This might be the first Miguel album I don't care for. Welp. Time to find a new R&B artist wave to ride.

This is why I always said in discussions about this topic that I'd rather not make the decision to separate art from artist based on the quality of their art since this feels even more hypocritical. Either do it for any artist or none. Okay, I mean, I'd draw the line at child molesters and rapists though. Anyway, this topic is way too complex morally to do this right now. We already talked about this here with Vorheez a few weeks ago.


After all these years I'm still not sure what the story behind this is. Wasn't this always explained officially as "playful" fighting between best friends or something?
