I'd like to think not, but it comes off a bit racist.

or is it just me?

I know you can dislike certain artists or genres of music, but the use of garbage is what bothers me.

All the benefits of an insult, but with the plausible-deniability of a harmless statement.

Passive-aggressiveness on 100.


Personally, I automatically default to "racist" if I have to try and figure some shit out.

Real talk tho, some rap does sound like shit, so dude might have just been speaking off the top. The problem is that so many other folks use coded language that people with no ill intentions get mixed in with them.

...because he doesn't talk about sex, drugs and violence like all the other rappers."

I wouldn't necessarily say the statement means they're racist. It's the sort of thing my dad used say in the mid 90's when I was bumping Wu Tang in the car (and we're both black)..

However, often criticisms of rap do come with barely concealed racial undertones.. I read a comment on one forum about Kanye that referred to him as "a black thug who only talks about guns and violence". now whatever one feels about Kanye, guns and violence aren't his main topic!

So I think that sometimes the hatred of black people/black art/expression serves as an outlet for racists to throw some hatred.

blame the source, not the tool.

if racism is a cancer, black thought is the answer.

i wouldn't think it was racist but i would classify it as offensive because it is usually associated with a certain race or group of people and it would be understandable if someone was offended by it but calling them racist is too much imo

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

and she black.

we keep it moving,

Yep.

That was the standard reaction from older black family members back in the day.

Remember, some black radio program directors were saying the same thing through the end of the 80's...

But yeah, sometimes certain white folks say it in not-so-coded way that gets their point across...

...it's not about the quality of the music but about black folks having a big seat at the pop culture table.

"Rap is garbage" is a direct ancestor to "jungle music" insults in the Fifties to "disco sucks" at the end of the Seventies.
