Nothing you guys didn't know but as I already knew wow To Pimp A Butterfly is such a good album.

Randomly discovered Kendrick did a music video for "These Walls" and after seeing it had to put the album back on.

Just wanted to say that is all.

Well, one could say that he was "obsessed" with women overcoming the oppression of men in particular, black men over coming the oppression and taking something back from white men in particular, Jewish and freedom fighters taking revenge and overcoming the oppression of more white men. But it's easier to hang that "obsession" word out there and never give it a second thought. Take a contemporary example of a black human being outside of Jackie Brown and see how all of this fits. That's what's wrong with it. Exactly.

Edit for clarification.

Oh, I know. You would think that after going through that previously, you would make sure to avoid that. That's like an unavoidable L waiting to happen.

The IRS don't fuck around. If/when they want that green, they will get it.

I'd typically agree with this point, but I don't think this works with Tarantino. He has an extremely distinct and noticeable writing style, especially in terms of the way his characters talk. It doesn't matter what gender, race, genre or historical era his characters inhabit - his characters all generally "speak" the same as far as their vocal mannerisms, cadence and vocabulary are concerned. It's no coincidence that this is the way he actually speaks in real life. He's one of the few screenwriters you can literally hear through the characters to an almost distracting extent. I could pick up a script without knowing Tarantino had written and tell you within 2 pages that he had written it. I don't think you get that with JJ Abrams. I just don't think you can separate the art from the artist in this case.

I love blaxploitation as much as the next person, but I can't get down with someone whose entire viewpoint of black characters seems to exclusively be lifted from one of the most ignorant and hypermasculine periods in cinema for black characters.

Edit: Here's a video of all usages of the word nigger by Tarantino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5REfYPlGJk It's 18 minutes long. Just sayin'

I don't watch enough Tarantino to notice what you're describing while watching his movies but I definitely believe you based on what I know about Tarantino. That said, when I see that video you posted and see Samuel L Jackson or Ving Rhames saying the N word, it just doesn't register as a problem unless I "think" about Tarantino writing it. It's when Tarantino and other white actors in the video say the word that my mind goes "Database Error. The database has encountered a problem".

Steven Universe has so many likable characters.


Also, am I wrong in thinking Garnet is the best Gem?

so i've been out in LA enjoying my time regardless of not being able to meet with a couple of friends i know out here, but i have to break my gaf silence to talk about a burning matter

I saw a Taco Bell & KFC combination right next door to a Burger King.

What is this? What is this madness? What is this fast food witchcraft I spotted while being driven back from a go kart track?

Who said this was okay?
