If Kassem Mosse self-cancellates I will self-detonate

Is Ramadanman still a thing?

he was way ahead of the curve, self cancelled (to Pearson sound) 10 years ago. a post-dubstep trailblazer.

 

[Leo]

how long until squarepusher is called out for in fact being neither square nor a pusher?

also, Richard James not actually being a twin can be viewed as a micro aggression against children.

This is hilarious

"Excluding the inherent problematic nature of my artist name from my [January] statement was an oppressive action towards the people who took the time and effort to hold me accountable. There is no excuse for my actions. I have contributed to white supremacy and consistently benefit from my white privilege; my ego has blocked me from recognizing this."

makes it sound like he attended KKK rallies when in reality his biggest crime has been releasing some boring records.

seriously, this is part of the reason why people make fun of/dislike liberals. asinine.

You know how really super devout Shi'ites in Iran have this festival where they publicly whip themselves with chains and stuff?

I think this is a sort of secular, Western version of that.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Has it occurred to you that

releasing [...] boring records

is in itself a form of white oppression???

"Black Sabbath": not black; also appropriates Wiccan culture.

 

[Leo]

Project Pablo, Joey Negro and The Black Madonna are terrible terrible DJ names for white people.

The language they use and the Maoist self-criticism is a bit much, but they did the right thing changing them.

 

[Leo]

agreed. but PP and TBM did it in an insufferable way that deserves a bit of mocking.

I get it about the latter two, but Pablo is just the Spanish version of Paul, isn't it? I mean is it inherently "Latinx" as opposed to just Spanish?

Or is it a reference to a particular housing project in a particular Latin American city, or something like that?
