Not sure if there’s anything more moronic than someone projecting their own tastes onto an entire market. YOU may not be anticipating it, but quite clearly a lot of people are.

I really don’t think Sky Ferreira meant to be racist, but defending the dancers in her video as “well spoken” wasn’t the best way to convince skeptics. I assume she wasn’t making a subtle reference to the classic Chris Rock bit.

“Whenever Colin Powell is on the news, white people give him the same compliments: ‘How do you feel about Colin Powell?’, ‘He speaks so well! He’s so well spoken. I mean he really speaks so well!’ Like that’s a compliment. ‘He speaks so well’ is not a compliment, okay? ‘He speaks so well’ is some shit you say about retarded people that can talk. What do you mean he speaks so well? He’s a fucking educated man! How the fuck did you expect him to sound, you dirty motherfucker? ‘He speaks so well.’ What are you talking about? What voice were you expecting to come out of his mouth? ‘Imma drop me a bomb today’, ‘I be Pwez o dent!’.”

– Chris Rock

Technology may change, but child actors will never stop being annoying.

R.I.P.

“Annie Clark.. from The Vincents?”

I died.

So just to recap, ASAP Rocky and Skrillex can parade around a favela pretending to be gangsters, while actual residents (whose lives are made very miserable by the gangsters ASAP is emulating) dance in the background. That is okay. Sky Ferreira employs black actors to make a cutesy gangsta motif video. Not okay. Got it.

It actually warmed my heart to see RubJon take the top worst spot. It just feels right.

“Some people like music I don’t, and that is OK.”

Let’s all just practice telling ourselves that in the morning before we internet.

when it comes to race you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. had she cast all white people the pc commentariat thought police would be accusing her of racism. the accusation of ‘racism’ is thrown around so often that it’s become meaningless. some ex-kkk dude just shot up a jewish community center, and people are worried about a pop singer casting black dancers in her video? get a fucking clue, please…

Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.

Apparently she also doesn’t feel the need to feel the need to proofread.

Not even mad about the downvotes. Mad about this assclown byers hopscotching a dangerously low bar.

Probably the odd man out in this fight but I never understood the appeal of OutKast. They’re just too goofy and it misses the mark for me.

It’s a stereogum comment, not a personal affront.

HORRIBLE!

Not surprised that the billboard top ten is stagnant, I currently work in the pizza delivery business and the CD player in my car broke leaving me with just the radio to listen to, and stagnant would be a very appropriate word to describe the music I have been forced to endure as of late. I live in Alaska and we have about six radio stations to choose from (excluding country, classical and talk,) and once to my dismay Dark Horse by Katy Perry was playing on four of them at once! I don’t mind pop music but the recent string of could be summer jams from the likes of Pharrel, Avici, Calvin Harris, Elle Goulding, Katy Perry, etc, have been incredibly underwhelming (Calvin Harris’ latest single is literally called “Summer”! C’mon,) and a lot of them sound formulaic and boring. Hopefully with summer almost upon us we’ll start hearing some better stuff, or maybe I can just upgrade my car stereo.
