gay house yell
This is a jam.
I just wanna let you know Iâve listened to this like five times and it fuckin bangs
âAll of these labels were founded by and are currently headed by men, none of their rosters are more than 36 percent female, and none have signed more than two female rappers. Three donât have any women signed at all. An even smaller percentage of signees are black women. These are sad truths that expose the rap industryâs inability to consistently provide women with a safe platform to share their art.â
I donât want to gloat but I hope all of the people who criticized me a few months ago read this. For anyone who doesnât know what Iâm talking about, I suggested rap is misogynist and nearly got banned. It was upsetting.
this golden axe sample is murdering me
yes, that is many entertainment fields and itâs not unique to rap.
The game studio I work at has about 25 women. And about 230 dudes. And guess how many of them are white. And youâd never guess that the most senior womanâs job is HR Director.
And itâs the ubiquity of these injustices that make a focus on the minority-led form such a misleading out for scaremongering white conservatives.
No one is scaremongering, this article exists to hold an industry to the same standards as any other entity. Pitchfork not exactly a site staffed by scaremongering white conservatives with a biased agenda.
Nothing about the music industry owns
uh
I donât know if I would be so confident about this
pitchfork is kind of the man now
but I really came here to post this
but like, can you just not with this? please?
your singular focus on a genre of music that 1. is predominantly created by PoC and 2. has exploded into a million billion different subgenres around the world is troublesome to me because it smacks of latent racism in service of combating misogyny. and like, we know that hip hop has problems with misogyny just as any other genre of music has problems with misogyny
itâs almost as though misogyny exists independently of a style of art and we can focus on dealing with the misogynist part of it as opposed to implying that a form is inherently misogynistic
like, there are all sorts of issues with that approach that youâre ignoring because youâre cherry picking examples
dance music is having all sorts of problems with cis white male DJs dominating festival lineups right now but it would be extremely dumb of me to imply that dance music as a form is inherently racist and homophobic because its literal roots were in LGBT communities and communities of color
it is in fact this precise act of removing context that creates what the current situation is today
surely
