my three biggest gripes with the modern white hip-hop head 1) they don’t know about Raider Klan/ the South Florida sound Denzel, XXX, etc 2) they only know El-P and Killer Mike from Run The Jewels 3) they don’t know that Future is Dungeon Family

OK update The Microphones are good musically so maybe they can still grow on me but the lyrics are like I'm reading someone's diary which is a turnoff

18 years ago Jay-Z became the first rapper to headline Glastonbury & trolled Oasis when they said rap had no place there. He came on stage playing their song Wonderwall & then flipped it into 99 Problems and destroyed the stage 😭

im sorry but rock music is like the corniest shit ever to me bro

“Every possible -ism and -phobia and moral impropriety has been ascribed to me since I began my largely pro-bono career as an internet girl,” writes Ivy Wolk. In a new essay,​ the 22-year-old comedian and actor reflects on the way her dark thoughts about her own self-image are interpreted as “soulless edgelord fare” — and all the times she’s been canceled since she started posting her comedy online as a teen, including when children once decided en masse that she was a “whorish foil” to a famous friend of hers. “As much as I wish for anonymity or a slate wipe sometimes, I am grateful for the perspective I’ve aggregated and the ways in which I have been challenged never to abandon my beliefs and my unbounding love for other people,” Wolk writes. “It cannot harden me, it cannot isolate me from community, and it cannot remove me from public life.” Read the full essay: nymag.visitlink.me/yANP5M

I’ve been saying this for a while but anything made for teenage boys that outstays its welcome becomes this way. south park, always sunny, half of the brands you can find at Tilly’s, its all for 31 year old women who love saying “my dude” now

i pity people whose only perspective on music is the mainstream pop landscape and artists who are hot topic online. Like I promise you there's so much amazing music if you look beyond the surface

The H3 Podcast was CumTown for people who were ejected from their friend groups by unanimous vote

people ask why i do the posts i do... well basically i'm conducting a social experiment. to see how others would react. and y'all just proved my point...

dem platform on trans kids in sports could easily be keeping government out of it. ‘I don’t think big gov should get involved, leave it to parents & school boards’. both panders to parents & makes the GOP look invasive & nosy which they are. but why bother with our own messaging

the fact that people spend hours watching these people as a proxy for having actual friends would make way more sense to me if they were interesting or funny people. this is like being forced to watch my blandest coworkers interact outside of work.

with allies like this, who needs republicans

You have to be completely historically illiterate to say you'd volunteer for a modern conflict in any capacity

Post 4 albums you want to see more love for, and I'll listen to them. Here's mine
