Right now it's the herd thing to be outraged on Twitter. Racism has been going on — oh, forever. The increase in people being outspoken about it that wouldn't usually say anything in real-life, capturing on smartphones, and making hashtags is newer I suppose. Still, I've yet to see anyone ready to roll up to a killer-cop's doorstep to ask what the problem is.
The Post never gave a shit about Hip Hop. The industry has to embrace the fusions coming forth however, because that's what the kids want. And they feel like they need something to stand for also. This is my (23yr old) son's generation. I hear them though. Still, I present hard questions they can't wrap their heads around. Where once, my mother was arrested for using the wrong bathroom — these days, she (and Bruno Mars) are not brown enough to be part of the conversation. Meanwhile, Cardi B is. Colorism. Divide and conquer is the oldest trick in the book aside from "create crisis" "profit from crisis" "be the savior of the crisis."
We're at the profit from crisis point. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Of course the Royal wedding wasn't a grooming stage.
Who's running for president next, Michelle or Oprah?
This is not to be sour or antagonistic at all. It's a cool game in the industry to pretend to be Illum^ yet not be, but be, but not know it. Will not comment on Cardi's trip to Dubai, you know the hotel I'm sure.
Inside industry "stuff" is why many of us just remain "Indie."
What could be the distraction from? The left will point at what the right is doing. The right will point at what the left is doing. Both are right. Look at what the wallet is doing though.
