The problem of Afrofuturism is so called afrofuturist aspiring thinkers are v. conservative. They only are just now acknowledging Lil' Wayne and Cash Money in the last few years ("oh well, they said Cash Money is a Navy a la Drexciya so") and the problem is the framework needs constant updating...

Well third's bringing up a good point in that Which Migos or whomever Atlanta group is Barty maybe implying because there are diff periods for them. Also what sort of 'futuristic' is the futuristic b/c for me the closest I think we got to that in rap for a little while was maybe Sage the...

Also This is perfect for Barti

You think of the recent dialog where western pop stars have been openly calling out how much they hate the media (which in a show of how disconnected with the present day they are, they continuously refer to as 'the blogs') for having the nerve to criticize and critique what they do without...

Not a superiority but a different value. Pop music in the west is beholden to the idea that this is the artist's product, their work. K-Pop often entertains this too but more often than not everything they do has to be met by public response. A song can do fine on radio but it lives or dies by...

Vybz still works in the sense of branding. Since barty invoked the other main interest of mine, I've often talked about how regional rap deals in things like 'campaigning'. There's a big mythos of the 00s in rap where the local artist grinded in the streets with his mixtapes. He became a...

Ultimately the 'idol' version of pop is vastly superior to the post-Beatles notion of pop where the notion of the song is the paramount because it instead centers it around the performer's body. Granted the vocal is there but now the performer must dance, sing/rap and ultimately Be the star and...

Not to steal from Third's bit BUT I think the nature of how K-Pop has to be consumed on the multitude of levels (which doesn't exist in Western Pop anymore) makes it some of the most unintentionally class-conscious music out there.

HEYHEYHEY I don't dislike it because it's 'ridiculous', it's just bleak to me! Much prefer the earlier stuff! That said yeah, Showbiz at least has the credibility to say it.

You'd sack a tomb if it meant you could somehow end up with a couple new songs to poorly sequence.

Coming from a man who fetishizes Africa thrice as much as any white man that makes sense you'd be all for post-racial abandon. So radical to behave like a bourgeois colonial appraiser.

Zhao isn't smart enough.

Ah look. It's the poacher.

Kindliness is Key folks.

Other people's lists make ME feel like a casual often enough, so you're good man, thanks for playing, I appreciate it.

I'M TEASING! It's also not a twist to see how the dictation of what works for someone doesn't work for other people. All utopias forged are inevitably exclusionary, but they're an ideal to SOMEONE so it doesn't make them PURE EVIL or whatever. It's part of the reason personally I have a...
