If you want a proper Black review of this beef, you need to go to a proper Black essayist. Todd.

FD just keeps hitting bangers. And somehow, he still finds the time to be a parent and be so good at Tekken he gets to do well in pro tournaments.

I have this like-- idle day dream of LowTierGod having come across FD in the queues and absolutely going ballistic after Unc folds his ass like a lawn chair

I can imagine LTG's exact meltdown

Kendrick letting Drake have the last word defending and rationalizing his pedophilia for 5 minutes then not responding, reminds me of this interview with a union member and some britbong reactionary https://youtu.be/3tG-4i0ygBE

watched this whole vid yesterday - as someone who was watching this shit unfold all the way back when Control dropped, this was such a good recap of the last like decade plus of this whole thing. watched all of it in one sitting, absolutely vital viewing

Only partway through this, but it's fantastic. And you're right, it's way better than Todd's review, as much as I like him.

Yeah I don't want it to sound like I'm suddenly splitting on Todd or have gained years worth of hate from two videos, but... Todd's videos on this subject's some of his few duds imo. I can't get behind them, I can't even recommend them, and I pray he doesn't make a habit of Ross-ery.

I have to admit I haven't watched them, but having been a fan of Todd's videos in the past, why do you think they're so bad? I imagine it's a few out of touch takes, but I'd like to know specifically

It's the surface level analysis for me. Damned near every take Todd had, with exception of how actually kinda fucked it is that both battlers invoked women in their salvos, felt like the exact kind of low-frequency content-ized white analysis that I'd expect from an Adam22 or a VladTV. He displays no real appreciation (at least, not from what I saw) for rap as an art form, doesn't seem to understand how deep these traditions go for us (or how absolutely aberrant to those traditions that not only Aubrey, but most of the kayfabe rappers on the radio today are to those traditions), but worst of all?

It offends me on a level deeper than rap that Todd's takeaway in his latest video on the beef even came anywhere near "(rap) gatekeepers versus the gays". I'm genuinely sick of seeing Black folk-- especially Black men, considering it's an election season-- constantly getting lined up as some kind of aggressor toward another (usually just as disadvantaged) group. I'm sick of it being taken as a given that "Black men have an anti-Asian problem", that "Black men are inherently homophobic", that "Black men are this, that, and the third"--and all I could think in response to that take, after I spent a good two minutes short circuited from how fractally wrong it was, was "this has NOTHING to do with the gays, though?"

Like, I could have let surface-level Ross-ery slide, but the minute it hit me that he wanted to take it there, and simultaneously never once address Aubrey's actually homophobic ("Abel's music only plays where boys have a little bit more pride") and transphobic ("Where is yo uncle at? I wanna talk to the man of the house") bars, I had no patience for the rest of the subject out of him. I don't like white folk monetizing our culture, our pain, or our bodies after death-- that last one is why you see so many shots at TrapLoreRoss, btw.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
