That doesn’t work for me. That comment says that all of her behavior is ‘black’. I don’t see that at all. My point was that lots of people of all races fucking talk/act like that because they grew up like that. My even more important point was fuck all this authenticity shit.

re: your first comment

ehh lots of artists like to create a mystique about themselves and I don’t even see Kreayshawn doing that at all. Lots of good artists take themselves too seriously or think too highly of themselves, especially in hip hop. It’s whatever. Nor do I have a problem with lots of production/mixing in the music. I actually just watched her Nardwuar inteview and she didn’t really bother me at all during the course of that.

Most importantly, Lil Debbie is no longer in WM. I no longer care about them and I’m done talking about them.

People who like themselves don’t relentlessly pursue a near-mythic, Gaga-esque aesthetic in their videos and performances, because they’re happy enough being the clever, talented person they are. People who like their craft find no need to bury it in mixing, production and the techniques of distraction abovementioned, because they’re happy enough making music that makes sense and reaches people. People who like their audiences try to form a personal connection with them; Bronson seems friendly enough, and I’d be happy to have a conversation with him if for some bizarre reason I were offered the chance; Kreayshawn is such a caustic, aggressive, arrogant person in her videos and performances/public appearances that I would actually cross the street to avoid her- not because she’s a white girl, but because she apparently wants us to have the impression that she’s totally red-hot mental. I could do without a person who possessed these personality traits in my life.

I’m not even the hugest fan of Bronson over Kreayshawn, but he seems like a much less high-strung, obnoxious type.

And please, don’t accuse me of sexism, because I couldn’t give a toss what gender Kreayshawn is; she’s annoying and acerbic and her music’s not all that great, this is why I don’t like her. In my opinion, more women should get into rap; theirs is a unique voice often un-heard in the genre. However, I feel Kreayshawn has no unique voice to speak of (literally and figuratively).
