One day, I realized that genetic reputations are vital for social situations.

Nearly every explanation for modern racism has a genetic origin.

Christians are influenced by evolution. African Americans have been influenced by evolution. We don't believe in it, but we have to conquer it anyway.

A lot of people claim that they have to compete with prolific content. 

The problem is the bar for acceptance is so high. 

2023 Indie rock music is not really better than 2023 indie rap, but it has less scrutiny (particularly about lifestyle) because it's not the centerpiece of its community's representation.

Audiences seem underwhelmed. The passion in the support has diminished; the rationale behind the hate has gotten lazy. My personal belief is there seems to be a disconnect between the music and the culture. 

The audience is radically indoctrinated, but is clinging to an outdated depiction of their culture for the sake of originality. While that may simply be a stylistic choice, non-gentrified content has very little social momentum.

Who's your favorite rapper rn?

Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday 2 (R.I. Review)

Nicki Minaj is a rapper from Trinidad that grew to superstardom from signing to Lil Wayne's Young Money record label. From her debut, she had fiery flows and punchlines that were better than most of the male rappers on the scene at the time. In all fairness, she's better than most male rappers now too. Pink Friday 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel artistically. It's Nicki Minaj putting good bars on good beats. Some of the sampling seems a bit awkward and forced, but for 22 songs, the album is consistently good. Nicki's formula inspired all of the female rappers and they don't always give her credit. This album is a reminder that Nicki Minaj is a phenomenal rapper with an inspirational rap career.
