Just realized Keef, T.I. and Game all have a song titled "Hallelujah" on their new albums.

Nobody's worried, sea cucumber. Stay in Vietnam where that thing impresses the local working boys.
my sea cucumber may be limp and sickly but it will still haunt your dreams. It looks like a dead maggot buried in some dirt and fertilizer but it hits like a live baboobs rageful penis.

A maggoty sea cucumber. No wonder you keep trying to wife strippers. They're the only ones with the gag reflex strong enough.
lol...I wish I could be drunk right now. Sigh.

So as long as they're not about that life, it's okay?
How is it any close to a minstrel show? They were the most popular form of entertainment at one time.

is he kissing ne-yo
Is he trying to say that Keef is white, playing to a black audience or the reverse?
It makes no sense to use the term minstrel show. It has no relation to his quote on Keef's music.
Or is it along the lines of the fact thats hes stupid. He should have used a different term. He brought a race term into a statement on the intelligence of his music. Most are going to think blackface when they hear that term, and not the social commentary behind it.

You know- I actually totally see the minstrel show complaint being valid in some world where keef was exploited by old rich white dudes who basically made him put out violent Chicago gang stereotypes just to sell records to white ppl looking for commercialized black stereotypes of violence. But I don't think that applies here because finally rich, if anything, seems pretty honest to me like shinobi put it.
Then why minstrel show? He could have used "Fake" or "Phoney"
Because he's hinting at white, rich studio execs exploiting a racial stereotype.
But because Keef is about that life, the blogger is disgusted.
The fucking irony, like peterb0y referenced, he's one of the few that does live his raps.
I actually think there can be a similar argument made (and it's not a novel argument) about entertainment industries like hip hop and certain sports at large where the majority of owners/financiers are white and the large majority of entertainers are black- here the exploitation issue can be (and I'm sure are in many situations) very real.
Calling Keef a puppet would be the perfect choice of words if that was the case (execs exploiting Keef).
The execs performing the material themselves would be the only way minstrel show would be correct. Also, if the execs claiming that the music is true to African-American Music and culture.

This is levied at any black entertainer that isn't 100 percent dignified at all times. Acting the fool is only okay if you're white. If not, minstrel show! Sam Jackson and Cosby wouldn't rap about silly shit! Stop embarrassing me black people!
Etc. It's fucking stupid.

I understand his point about minstrel shows though I don't know if I agree. Basically the idea that Keef is so ignorant, so stereotypically ridiculous that he is just a joke for attention, mainly from whites. My problem is that I don't think Keef is fake, he is very real and speaks to an ignorance that actually exists. I'd have no problem calling the guys who did that Laffy Taffy song a minstrel show for instance
Iovinne agreed to sign Keef because his son was listening to I Don't Like. Iovinne has spent decades signing people who appeal to white people by being super gangsters but this is one of the first times he signed someone with almost no talent or ability to rap, and the most ignorant person in rap - who is also actually a real gangster. Keef can't read, he seems to have some type of social disability, and he can't rap. And outside of giving him YouTube views apparently white people aren't checking for him. It's kind of sad tbh

I agree with you to some extent, but what I was referring to- which the blogger totally whiffs on- are cases where the fool image you speak of is forced on entertainers by their bosses to create a certain stereotypical image to sell to certain demographics.
PD, completely agree w u.
yeah that dude's probably gonna lose his job lmao. or at least get suspended for a while.

Best post for a couple pages.

Here is the actual blog post he made.

He accidentally hints at some decent points but he's so clueless. LOL at citing Kanye aka Keefs biggest cosign at the end as a conscious rapper.
Someone's living in the past. I do agree with the gun glorification complaint though, with Bioshock Infinite's cover being the latest example.
Ehhh that's a pessimistic view. A few years ago I might have thought that about homophobia in rap. Agree with the first point.
It might be pessimistic, but its the truth. You really think this shooting is going to change everything in American culture. Its unfortunate, but sex, guns, and violence sells.
I will be shocked if this shooting is still spoken about 6 months from now. Like Virginia Tech, it will only be brought up the next time a mass shooting occurs.
I agree as well. It's a shame.
I was just agreeing with the glorification comment/complaint he made.

Random ass question. Does album art need to be in any particular dimensions for Itunes? I googled around and answers are either yes and sometimes no. :|
