@mouthyjen One of these is a masterpiece of anti-Capitalist literature that demonstrates the importance of solidarity between oppressed peoples, and comments on the exploitation of the working class. The other is Das Kapital by Karl Marx
I love Halsey and Ethel Cain and Megan Thee Stallion and Doechii and Kathleen Hanna and Hayley Williams and Cardi B and Poly Styrene and Amber Heard and Keke Palmer and Nancy Spungen and Tammy Faye and Amy Winehouse and everyone woman the media loves to hate to death
“Please god I wanna be sick” // “Please god I don’t wanna be sick” // “Please god, oh you’ve gotta be sick”
The story these lines tell and the way they evolve across the three letter to god songs are so simply put but imply so much depth.
People keep saying something along the lines of “I’m sorry she had cancer but that doesn’t make the album good” but it’s worth mentioning that this entire time he’s never acknowledged the fact that she ever had cancer, which ties in to the point people have about the review.
@splitmaude But you and I are white it’s not our place to say “he apologized so it’s okay now.” It’s up to Black people if the apology was genuine and it doesn’t seem like they think it was
Btw, The Great Impersonator got overall very good reviews. The only haters were exactly who you would expect: Pitchfork and Fantano (who was not deemed relevant enough to be included by Wikipedia).
Being a woman dealing with serious health issues often means being afraid of telling the truth about the pain you’re in because you’re afraid of not being believed or seeming attention seeking. He validated that fear to thousands of women.
@miadeardensbow It is really really good I think people don’t like it because it’s experimental. It isn’t safe. It isn’t pop. But if you listen to it in order especially more than once it is really spectacular idk why it gets so much hate
@PAPERBOYFRlEND She did feel insecure about things like her hair falling out and her body no longer functioning and her kid possibly growing up without her. You know, BECAUSE SHE HAD CANCER?!
@PAPERBOYFRlEND It’s not actual criticism though, he is cruel to get shock value. Criticism is “the mix sounds off here” or “the lyrics could be stronger” or “this should have had a different drum track.” What he did was making light of her cancer diagnosis.
Who cares he gave a bad review? I care that a pay for clicks reaction YouTuber can facade as a pro critic and say it’s “main character syndrome” for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life. He’s a raised-by-4chan edgelord bully. Yuck.
