I assume quality of rap is suppose to equate to quality of game. Seems its a theme i've seen around the last couple days.

I thought this was kinda funny https://youtu.be/9fohNO3_1rU

Although is there any actual game footage from Battlefield out yet?

Eh, if you're gonna do a rap battle, at least make an effort to do both sides.

I've been in a situation where I actually had to listen to that song.

OMFG, is that what kids listen to today? I'm not the old man saying "that's just noise!" it was my generation that made rap popular. That song is just... so insipid and boring, monotonous and lame.

Well done, cat. Well done indeed.

*rap *politics

No, it's just a very poorly implemented idea in today's culture. Cultural appropriation is real, but it's not just a question of copying someone else's style. There's obviously a problem when, for example, enormously talented black musicians develop new music styles and cultural expressions which are dismissed and marginalized until a white person takes after their styles and makes it acceptable to like them. If white people are given all the credit for jazz or soul or rock or blues or rap, it diminishes the rightful cultural accomplishments of some amazing musical pioneers. That's cultural appropriation because the powerful are unfairly appropriating all the benefits of the less powerful, original creators. If some 15-year old white girl wants to call herself a ratched ho and wear dreads, on the other hand, that's not appropriation, it's admiration. The problem arises when well-intentioned people forget to consider the power dynamic, and instead just translate 'cultural appropriation' into a series of racially permitted dress codes. Which is what the bully in the video was doing.

*quality African food rap
