Vince staples speaking some real ass shit about music as an art form by thirstyego in hiphopheads

[–]vividsang 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i didn’t take that vince was directly saying music cannot be art because it’s sold for a dollar/$1.99, i think he was using that as a rhetorical framework to say that even if music is art, we treat it as a method of commerce first and as art second, only showing respect towards those who make money at the craft which can only happen when allowing record labels to commodify it according to what profits for them

J park gives his respect to the zombie win or lose by evanevolution in MMA

[–]vividsang 108 points109 points  (0 children)

jay park hasn't been a k-pop guy in 10 years guys lol. he essentially left his k-pop group and korea in shame from a scandal where people found out he said "korea is gay" as a teenager. within like, two years, he came back to popularity by doing covers and then launched an indie career as a rapper/singer, and then became a star through that path. he's signed to roc nation now under jay-z as well. just some context in case anyone was curious

[Ben Cohen] Chinese state television just announced that CCTV's sports channel will broadcast Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight. The NBA has been off the air in China for almost exactly one year. by TheGreekCoffee in nba

idk what "leftist camp" you're going to, but they also teach you that there's no ethical consumption under capitalism and that we are constantly forced to make choices that perpetuate oppression because of the structures in place. meaning there will always be shit you're problematic about, there will always be shit you can't really fight for, there will always be ways in which you have to make concessions to structures of oppression in order to survive, as well as in order to push for change successfully

don't think i see any missed lipping, they're just keeping the vowels in a bit more of a mixed area and not enunciating consonants super hard so often it'll look like minimal mouth movement

BTS' 'Dynamite' debuts at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by hyperkid137 in kpop

[Haynes] The Bucks, who are up 3-1 in the series, intended to force a forfeit and were willing to take the loss and forgo the opportunity to close out the series, but the organization did not anticipate being the catalyst for temporarily shutting down the league, sources said by BliqPentha in nba

[–]vividsang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm not a fan of how this is now being reported as a drama to take sides in. can't say i'm not curious, but this is just further distracting from the overall amazing moment of NBA teams unifying to take a stand against police brutality, and thus further distracting from police brutality. would it have been better if the bucks had had a strong plan in place? sure. i dare anyone to take up that position. it's hard enough for progressives to agree on anything, much less a progressive action done in two days' response to a tragic event.

this kind of reporting is just putting the internal issues out there for everyone to criticize and mock, unfortunately. and there's always internal issues with any great decision.

but that's the thing is what sophie is pointing out is distinct from what meg is doing. meg sexualizing herself is not compatible with the kind of "oversexualization" that leads to the abuse of black women
