Four things that they don’t have the votes for, so how dare them try to fix something else that has serious issues
Look, trap and mumblecore are terrible, I'll give you that, but I really don't think that's a more serious issue then universal healthcare...
put another way, those four things will go a much farther way to relieve inequality than... uh. what even is a "hip hop task force"...?
"They can't work on those 4 things. So they're working on this other thing"
"Yeah but that thing isn't as important as one of those 4 things"
Doesn't really track...

It was a joke based on the fact that it sounds like hip hop is the "something else" that has serious issues. You know, the ol' lemmy switcheroo (I don't have anything to link this to, sorry). It's also based on the opinion (mine) that a lot of modern rap music is really bland and unimaginative.
Well no, of course it doesn't work in context, the whole joke was about ignoring the context.
Yeah, it's all very unimportant, lol. I guess I need to utilize the /s more here on Lemmy, people just really aren't expecting jokes here, haha
yes, this.
other comments ITT are doing the classic “bit” of knee-jerk quasi-racism in the form of “music critique,” while intentionally missing the point that propoganda works. supporting Black musicians in an industry that is well-established to be systematically racist is not bad.
I was actually just making a joke based on the other person's phrasing, it definitely wasn't racist, quasi- or otherwise. Terrible musicians come in every color and creed!
huh? i don’t recall seeing your comment but if you feel called out sorry make better jokes i guess
