#he can rap

[tibli]

i have been trying to figure out why the whole 'fae god' and katniss everdeen things with kendrick lamar on here were bothering me, and i think i finally put it into words.

most posts like that are probably coming from well-meaning white people (i am also partially a White People, to be clear), who otherwise dont really listen to rap. they cannot find a way to 'relate' to this black man who sings largely about issues that affect the black community– and rather than try and meet him where he is, they have to fit him into these little tumblr cultural boxes before he can be 'palatable' to them.

they have to shave off the rougher/more abrasive aspects of his work and activism because it makes them uncomfortable, that way they can pigeonhole him into something that allows them to enjoy his work without the critical analysis that MUST come with it

he is not your fae god, he is not a YA protagonist, he is not a little gremlin or a cinnamon roll or a blorbo. He is a human being with opinions and beliefs that deeply permeate his work, and to ignore that truth is to ignore the entire point. PLEASE try to engage with artists' work outside of the lens of tumblr fandom, and i mean that as nicely as possible. you are doing YOURSELF a disservice

Imagine telling somebody in 1995 that one day, Snoop Dog and Flavor Flav would both be beloved American icons highly associated with the Olympic Games. With Snoop acting as an official NBC commentator and carrying the actual Olympic torch in his 50s.

They would look at you like you were absolutely insane. What an incredible world we live in

I'm a sucker for Hilbert and Eiffel's weird relationship especially bc there's a very good reason Eiffel becomes so fixated on the humanity of this guy who has very badly hurt him. He offers a redemption Hilbert doesn't even want because he has to believe that no crime can strip a person of their human dignity or their right to live. There is no threshold of transgression at which a human being becomes a monster, and deserves to suffer for it.

And that's because the only reason Eiffel's even there on the U.S.S. Human Trafficking is because someone else already judged him, convicted felon Doug Eiffel, to have crossed that threshold. He was that monster. And he didn't deserve it.

Love how Hoyo is just as much on Boothill's dick as the rest of us. The Wardance crowd really is just the fandom fjkdlsajlksl

Guy's singing isn't actually half-bad, it's more so what he tends to sing...

Stugo screenshot redraw :) Francis Wants to Be Alone was such a great episode. The scene at the end was so sweet - it really felt like they understood each other perfectly in that moment. Very beautiful after Merian spent the whole episode worrying that she had lost her friendship with Francis. I love them <3

the mha equivalent of kendrick lamar dropping meet the grahams was dabi’s broadcast on live tv. everybody was in shambles and there had to have been so much endeavour discourse all over social media.

Can SMG8 rap? Like- idk I kinda had a funny thought 😂

Say like he had a rap battle with Eminem. Would he be able to keep up with him?

YES HE CAN RAP. He actually raps with Bob a lot trust.

If he we're to be put in a rap battle with THE Eminem, I would say he could keep up with him- and trust me when I say he'd try his hardest to even surpass him.

Waiiit denial is a river by doechii is so jeremy knox coded

OF COURSE

imagine him listening to that while he’s working out. imagine him walking around the house like “I mean bleep, I like pills, I like drugs. I like gettin' money, I like strippers, I like to bleep” and Laila is wondering whether it’s worrying that he’s rapping about doing drugs while equally amused that he hasn’t stopped singing it for weeks
