tyvm for your post alex! the majority seem to be against this conversation continuing, but i would like it known that, first, the canadian thing was a joke: i am fully aware that racism runs rampant here in canada (idle no more!); and second, i have no desire or urge to use the n word, or any ambition of obtaining a pass like those dudes in miami: the word is archaic. even if it achieved planet-wide desensitization, there are more accurate terms, so in the future utopia we are all working towards it would not be in common parlance because, devoid of offense, the word has no inherent meaning.
my problem is that there seems to be a cultural discrepancy! how can racial segregation be used as a means to end racism? isn't that hypocritical? i love hiphop: it is a totally different world that, without the music, i would never have any insight into. but they are making art in a way that precludes me from ever grokking it. you can say it's not for me, i am not the demographic & so it is moot whether or not i grok it, and this is true, but these dudes are POP artists and as such have a social responsibility ok imo.
ugh i am starting to see in hazy outline where i am going wrong but i g2g so i will post this anyway & say fu to the haters.

part of the problem with the position are arguing from is that it causes you to say things like you wouldn't use the n-word because "there are more accurate terms" without seeming to explore the full ramifications of that statement
― "Bellini." (DJP), Thursday, 7 March 2013 17:42 (eleven years ago) link
I only mean if you are going to refer to people by their race it is more accurate to say African, African American, African Canadian, etc.

teenage k-dot's first mixtape from 2004 is a pretty entertaining curio, at least for a few minutes: http://fashionably-early.com/2013/04/14/kendrick-lamar-hub-city-threat-minor-of-the-year-mixtape/
dude used to really jock jay-z flows! had been kinda thinking how the "vibe" remix was funny because he's so much less indebted to jay now than almost any other young rapper.

Sorry if this was discussed, but are the voice messages from mom and pops real on this album? I think they add a ton to the storyline/theme of the album, obviously. Pardon my ignorance.
