AVAA, brother. 🙏🏿
It's great seeing you outside of your channel, too.
It's been neat to witness such impressive creators in dialogue...even if the dialogue concerns how very outta pocket that white kid was.
Professoor needs a light styling mouse it will hold and train your hair to stay in or lay in the desired direction "Out of your face"🤭, with love from an old hairstylist🤗 @@cheriann6461
Light hair mouse to hold and train your hair ask your barber😊🤭
@@sandradee8093-c4g what??? if you're making fun of someone hair you shouldn't because you don't have your face on that pfp. let's see what you look like.
Falling crazy in love with something from another culture as a white European to me feels a lot like falling head over heels in love with a person. The feeling can be so pure and exciting! You feel overwhelming transcendental attraction and an urge to subsume yourself in that other completely but you fucking don't obviously, that'd be insane, you don't act on it, you don't put your hands on that person, you don't hold up a boombox under their window, you don't get weird with it. You act respectful, you take a genuine interest in them, you respect boundaries, you learn about them and come to appreciate them on more than a surface level, and then *maybe* you can try and cozy up a little closer on movie night. Maybe. Be cool about it though.
WTD I think fell in love with hip hop, purely and honestly and deeply, and immediately decided to put a thumb up in it.
Well said 😅
For me, it's that 1) he believed that he could know it (hip hop culture but really Black culture, in terms off his missteps) as well as the Black people who were correcting him 2) he seems to think of hip hop as equivalent to Black culture which it isn't (it's part of it,like anime is part of Japanese culture 3) he revealed that he had a lot of stereotypes/surface takes of Black culture/Black people based on his understandings of hip hop 4) he just misunderstood many nuanced things like the contextual use of nigga, the slavery verse, etc. Maybe bigger than that for me, Black people told him what was wrong with his analysis before and after he posted it and he doubled down on his positions plus he disrespected an OG/veteran, hip hop journalist, Justin Hunte, talking about him first as if he were on his level and then beneath him - in an effort to humiliate him. That comes from privilege and white supremacy and it is foul.
@@haniyyahn It was so foul the way he went off on TCM on Twitter and not UA-cam, saying he "didn't want to give him a platform" and "these guys don't have much wind." Then it's time for the apology to try and save his channel and suddenly he respects TCM so much, has been watching him for years, respects his opinions, he's such an important voice... Bro which is it? Is TCM some random nobody you don't even want to platform or is he a pillar of the community?
He didn't even use the word "racist" in his apology. How are you going to grow if you can't even name the thing you did? Say it with your chest, man. You said racist shit. If you're going to apologize for it, name it. If you're shocked you had that in you, GOOD.
Never seen someone get this level of clout poisoning from one viral video, I swear to god.
Good comment!
Thumbing aside, you know what all this reminds me of? So I'm a trans and queer person, have been for a good three decades now, and while that's clearly not the same thing in general, I'll never forget the time I took my friend to an underground queer bar. That's my culture, that's where I'm safe amongst my own people, and I took this friend because I trusted her. She said all the right things, always listened, spoke up when needed, just a really good ally, and she *still* didn't understand why we almost got thrown out on our asses when she just got out her phone and started taking pics and making reels. Did not for the life of her understand why I damn near slapped that phone out of her hand. Sis, half these people aren't out! They could get into life-altering trouble if the wrong person sees them in your damn reels! She just hadn't thought about that. Didn't know *rule number one* of underground queer spaces despite genuinely caring and trying. I hold no grudge, I didn't even think to tell her that because the rules are so obvious to me so how could she know, she's a great person and she keeps trying, but it did teach me to think a little harder about who's invited. Because me inviting her didn't just put my safety on the line. I made that decision for everyone in that bar that night.
It's not the same at all, but I do think even purely well-intentioned and educated people can do so much harm if they don't have that innate sense of what a space means and what it's for. You can't get that pure intuition, that Fingerspitzengefühl (sorry) of what can and can't be said and done. You can learn the rules but you can't feel the boundaries.
I also didn't see the N word counting as the worst part of the video, and I'm black. I also didn't think Justin Hunts "save the children" angle was THAT great either. n-word counting was corny but not disrespectful
Whats the Dirt's video is actually WAY worse than that. He called Kendrick, an Uncle Ruckus, Milk man, other damn near derogatory black slurs. And then he made comments about whether whitney has postpartum depression after stalking her social media. It was actually insane that the n-word counting was the loudest critique in the community. If anything, Whats the Dirt said way worse later in the video but people who watched must not have made it that far
I agree with you, I think the counting of the N word was just the headline and easy to communicate how bad the whole video was. I also think many people fell asleep during that long ting.
Yeaa, it doesn't seem like many people made it that far. I was getting heated by n word counting and didn't even want to waste a second more of my time. When i saw other people mention the milk man and Whitney bits, i was relieved i never got that far. 😅
I agree I watched the entire video however, by the time I got to the counting n"s I was no longer invested.
I was definitely more appalled by the repulsive comments about Whitney than anything.
I'm glad WTD got a well deserved reality check.
The Whitney bit is disgusting because it doesn't seem that he even found any of how she DID actually have post partum and runs a foundation to help women with it because of that, but just because she "seemed depressed" in some social media captions. Like I thought you were supposed to be doing research
There it is! But to be fair perhaps a part of that is because Justin was guaranteed to respond and is a more "accessible and immediate" piece in this bigger system of gears. Like Kendrick and Whitney are never going to address WTD let's be fr lol
I am a 41 year old black woman and I just experienced someone acknowledging Edouard Glissant on the internet for the first time from a white American man. I’ve loved his work for decades and I thought I was the only one. Wow
You're invited to the slurpee sipping at 7-Eleven!
What’s insulting to me is when non-black Americans behave as if my lived experience as a black American is subordinate to their superficial understanding of my culture.
IMO WTD believed his superficial understanding of black American culture was superior to TCM’s lived experience.
Facts!
Kendrick fans think this just cuz they heard gkmc & tpab
@@xteihnInteresting. I’ve never heard those albums. I’m still old school - Funkadelics., Etta James, Curtis Mayfield, etc. I don’t need anyone to inform me about what I’ve experienced in life.
Well stated. I run into that often. I've checked many. Basically what you're saying they're essentially saying boils down to:
"'I'm white and I say so."
Sorry, I don't accept that.
@@pitpride1220 Totally agree!
“Why are you thinking about me while you’re celebrating your community?” Love this line!!
I really appreciate hearing your thoughts! AAVA
This entire video was BARS. I love the Prof's perspective because I'm realizing that a 🧑🏼's lived experience is insanely valid in judging WTD's apology.
For example: We 👨🏿👩🏿 know when our peers are code switching around 🧑🏼👩🏼 - it's incredibly performative. *_We know that_* but they don't.
If the Prof has tenable misgivings about a 🧑🏼 peer, _I'm listening_ because I don't have the lived experience. My husband does though - I get to hear tales of 🧑🏼 that must've saw his blond hair, blue eyes and said _"I'm safe to chat about the most rac!st sh!t possible with this guy. I'm sure he'll agree with me that n*****s are lazy!"_ (yes, this has happened multiple times!) Nope, now you done f*cked up A-ARON 💀😌
Racial bias is uglier in the dark than it is in the light. What 👩🏿👨🏿experience is but a SMIDGEN of what actually exists. A peer will be able to smell the BS before it even comes out @ss😭
TWD constantly line steps so im not surprised this happened. Like he has an idea of how a black person should be so when he sees someone who doesn't fit that mode he thinks it's alright to say you aren't black. Bro you don't know how many white people i meet in my life who said some shit like that to me "you don't act like one of them, your one of the good ones" that is what my last boss said to me and I quit the next day. A bigot is way worse than a racist and dirt comes off pretty bigoted. A racist will avoid you a bigot will be all friendly but fall back on stereotypes and constantly test that line.
Don't forget your so clever for a black person or your so well spoken 🤬😡
WTD behaves as if he's never had a personal relationship with a black person in real life. He engages with us using his internet connection, as if he's a visitor at the zoo looking at the animals from behind a fence. He makes observations about our culture that seem strictly formed by analyzing black celebrities, hiphop music, and information available online. Then asserts himself as an expert in the realm of rap music. He's been treading murky waters for a good while now.
He's a habitual line stepper
@@ZeroPlusDesignsLlc-pf3mm 🤣🤣🤣
So you see this a lot in the Army. Many assume that black people on the Army are from a ghetto and are expected to be that way. If you speak “proper”, have discipline, integrity, ingenuity, and ambition as a black person one of two racist things happens: you are either diminished in your blackness be being referred to as “one of the good ones” or you’re looked at as a threat and you receive even more racism, hazing, and abuse until you crash out or fall in line.
I've always loved Justin's use of the "Shakespeare shakedown" and i love the use of it here as well.
Wow! Didn’t catch the Happy Dad Seltzer t-shirt (sponsor) thing. Love all the details and nuanced explanations. AVAA
I did NOT know that as well. Blew my mind when I heard that.
He wore that shirt during his apology tour on UA-cam and I also thought it was a wild choice.
This was very informative for me so thank you for educating me on his sponsorship.
Has a hat and the box in the background! He stole 6:16 from at least 2 unknown black guys......NiteNite and Professor Lexx Lexx Hip Hop X-amination. Professor mentioned it bc people were bragging about wtd. Professor's breakdown is still up. FM was wtd's work. 6:16 stolen which explains why FM was horrible. bbl = wtd and wtd = bbl
That got me too. I had missed the far right connection with Happy Dad, so that lesson had layers for me. Friendly reminder for me to remember where my money might go.
Prof: it wasn’t just counting 37 times, it is what WTD said before and after. It’s the context and hubris, as said so eloquently by Justin Hunte. It is also the point Curtis King was making when he counted the number of times WTD called Justin “stupid” in his rant on Twitter.
I appreciate you making this video to expand the discussion.
I hope he sees this
AVAA… “You shouldn’t want to be ‘The Definitive Voice’ when describing other people’s lived experiences.” Easily one of the best statements I’ve ever heard on UA-cam (or probably anywhere).
I work as a chef in one of the most beautiful coastal towns in the world. This town cannot exist as it does without tourism. Tourism also means this town gets trash left lying around it, shops overly full of people, a lack of beach space, people annoying the whales in their tinnies and over fishing for 6 months of the year. Whenever im a tourist geographically or culturally i keep this in mind. My money or time might be of benefit but it doesnt mean my presence is enjoyed and that's ok.
"Just be part of the gumbo, the seasoning, man" 10/10 advice
Black Canadian here. Didn’t know WTD was from NFLD, but now that I do. I can (with my chest) say that his blind spots make sense. I hope he’s able to learn from this experience about the blinders he had/has on as a White Canadian (from NFLD). Just because you’re not White American, doesn’t mean you’ve got a pass into places the White American doesn’t. The type of racism in Canada sounds like WTD’s apology - aggressive and mean spirited, always denied, arrogant and doesn’t like to be called out/corrected.
Other Canadians, can you weigh in?
What is NFLD ? 😂😂😂
@@YeMyGoat Newfoundland
Also Canadian, and yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm white so I see the racism from the outside, but the particularly Canadian brand of it has always seemed to me like you've said--aggressive and mean-spirited, while always demanding racialized people adhere to some undefined standard of "reasonableness" that is always a moving target and never achievable, because the thing that's "unreasonable" or "uncivil" is responding at all. "Civility" is also big here. WTD's apology, where he was like "I'm so sorry I lashed out at JH, but you see, JH hurt my feelings by saying true things," is very much in that spirit, IMO. I, too, hope he learns from this--I've been learning a lot about my own blind spots from some of the commentary around the beef, so I hope he has a similar experience.
😂 Canadian racism is a frustrating experience as it requires one to dip and dive around the constant whataboutism that is thrown out by bigots who chip away focus from their actions and the racism. That is why no one has noticed the absolutely disgusting language used at the latest minority and immigrant who faces acceptable discrimination in Canada and is driving far too much of our daily interactions, conversation, and politics.
Those who live in Alberta, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and all of these less diverse places in Canada, they don't consider how that lack of experience means they have a lack of knowledge about different cultures...they just assume a lack of opportunities for racist actions means they have no racist notions.
Compassion and understanding are extremely, extremely difficult. Empathy is known through the opportunity to flex it in complex, human nonsense we're all living rather than presumption hypotheticals that have gone unchallenged by those who are unaffected by a lack of empathy. It thrives through a miasma of distraction from direct conversation and a multitude of ideas from a variety of people from the same community rather than one centralized voice.
@@sarahtrick9043 very much appreciate your response, thank you!
I've been feeling like I have been consuming a lot of youtube that is not enriching me. We need more content like this
This video is great. I used to have a white friend, I know he meant well but he would always argue with me about how white privilege doesn't exist. This whole video basically sums up what the privilege is. On top of other things.
I’m black and your friend is right. white privilege doesn’t exist. it’s GODLESS to think otherwise.
GODBLESS.
Been following you for a while now and appreciate your opinions and perspective. As well as, greatly appreciate you introducing me to Justin Hunt. As an Egyptian born, American citizen I appreciate the effort that went into that analogy. AVAA
Thumbnail game is top tier 😂😂
facts
Shoobie is a slang term for a tourist. It was used in Season 2 Ep.5: of the show Rocket Power. Kendrick also used this term in Euphoria.
AVAA I'm glad you decided to release this. Your honesty is refreshing. The ability to express not being able to understand what is offensive yet still acknowledging that it is offensive is something more people need to learn. Your analogy was spot on about being a guest. Shoot even being a guest in someone else's house here in the US requires this level of understanding. Also your thumbnail for this video could have been a mug shot with you holding the "Not in the position to properly contextualize." It's a great quote from Justin.
Thank you for talking about Happy Dad ad part cause its crazy to still try and squeeze a little bit of money out of his apology vid
You'd think the way beauty guru walked so piss poor UA-cam apologies could run... and then get shat on...and WTD STILL went and did one of the most commonly criticized things in an apology 😂😂
“You just gotta say…my bad” 💯💯
And this is why Professor Skye is the best. 🙏🏽
Hi Professor, I found your channel through Justin Hunte & I’m so glad I did. I went down a rabbit hole of your videos yesterday. I love the historical and social context you bring to your analysis of music. LOVE FROM BOSTON ❤ AVAA
More awesome video than usual (MAVU?).
I've been struggling with communicating my experience living with multiple disabilities/illnesses to loved ones. Becoming disabled comes with the social experience of becoming part of a minority group and I've been struggling with how to put words to that. I think what you said about the 'default mode' will help me communicate that part of my lived experience a bit better. Thanks as always, prof!
I understand you. God Bless You and He Will Show You Favor!☮️
AVAA Maaaan Prof, why you gotta drop gems middle of a Monday? Now I'll never get anything done. lol
This channel is amazing. I enjoy the way in which you talk about hip hop, always thoughtful, gracious and respectful. You're also very humorous which adds so much texture and interest to your perspectives and is something that i find to be very compelling.
Well, being a tourist isn’t untrue tbh. And, like, there’s ethics to being a tourist. I feel pretty confident in saying that last time I went to another country in a group (huge fucking nightmare) I was the one that put the most effort into… engaging.
Didn’t speak the language. But I made an effort.
Been waiting for this.
Love u professor! U r always on point!
I love that you KNOW how to appreciate other cultures while being aware if your position. I love your channel and perspectives. You give awesome reviews and insight.
AAVA Don't delete this video!!!! Not only is it a excellent perspective on the WTD and TCM controversy, it's also an excellent elucidation of respecting cultural differences.
"You got called the nslur?! In *Boston*?!" Fuuuuuuucking folded me. Utterly creased
This was one of the best video essays I've ever seen. I feel seen and understood. I'm so grateful the Kendrick and Drake beef brought me to your channel. Thanks for all you do ❤
Soooo much respect for you making this video. 🙏🏽💕 I think you nailed it from all angles. And that Happy Dad Seltzer sponsorship sealed WTD’S fate with me. I will NEVER visit his page again.
the shawncee name drop caught me the fuck off guard LMAOOO
as another white person who loves hip hop and tries to be respectful I'm so glad I just found this channel
AVAA - Im glad the professor chimed in.
Not A-Aron!!! 😂 Great video so thoroughly and elegantly explained.
Oh man. Recent viewer, first time commenter. Really appreciating your analysis. I saw the apology video, and it seemed pretty decent on the surface but it felt a little off and I couldn't quite grasp why, so your take on it was helpful for me. I did side-eye the sponsor even at the time, but now knowing what the company stands for makes it just that little bit worse. AVAA
P.S. Bought 'Recovering From Emotionally Immature Parents' after seeing it in one of your videos and it's already changed my life.
Glad that the book helped you out!
In my opinion his apology seemed off because he contradicted himself about his reasoning for his insults. He said he looked up to the company yet was insulting him by calling him a snake and saying that he’s a failure because he doesn’t have a following and was using him for clout. What’s the Dirt also lacks insight on we some people in our culture was insulted by parts of his breakdown and some of his comments. Even after the apology you can tell that he still fully doesn’t understand.
@@Pianokeys-ee5of whole apology falls apart once you learn his disgusting comments calling Kendrick Lamar a milk man, harping on calling him 'black messiah' and going to Whitney's IG account and trying to deduce if she was suffering from post-partum. The way he delivered these takes made me feel like he was compromised. What a vile piece of sh*t
I watched all your mentioned vids, and thank you for always keeping it real😂❤
AVAA - Your thumbnail game is becoming top notch
That Candice line from FD always stuck with me too
back in the office -- love it!
AVAA. Man that first story alone is powerful and insightful. As someone who always loves to know foreign culture and also yearn for that connection, it's a good reminder that no matter what, you're just a tourist. You should keep distance and respect.
38:18 he lost any possible deniability when he put the video clip up of Uncle ruckus. That was flagrant and he can hide behind the fact that he wore that wool costume well for a long time. Now that we have seen the real him, it's impossible for me to go back. He said sorry with his fingers crossed behind his back.
i'm just happy that you have a massive respect for the culture and that's why i appeciate your videos loved the video on Bando Stone AAVA
Didn't know abt the Happy Dad's Seltzer 🤯 thanks for the nugget! Feel better
I’d definitely learn everything you teach if you’re my professor. How you dissect everything for the “layest-man” to understand.
WOW 🤯 that spicy segment was insane. I never would've never caught that detail, Professor. Thank you.
We have to know micro mannerism its part of black survival, i know what room ive walked into within 0.5 seconds, lived experience creates a 6th sense
Avaa wtd was definitely on the way to hoing full ak hes in a group chat with ak trap lore ross and adam 22.
I think the reason what hr did got picked up on so quickly is because Justin is well respected in the hip hop community but also that this isnt the first time he has gone after creators he believes are smaller and have less clout than him. He used parts of one of cliff beats videos and then set his follower on cliff to say cliff had copied him and started a whole beef. As i said he has done this a number if times but justin has way more social currency than he imagined. Him putting the video on twitter and saying something' along the lines of i dont want to give him any clout (paraphrasing) said it all. He said he watched justin in the past but i dont think it was as far back as Justin's hio hopdx days. Justin walked so wtd could run and wtd completely disrespected that.
Not gone lie, as a young blackman when you said the "k slur" I had no clue what you meant
Google it. It's a pretty bad word.. Close to the word Kite.. I wouldn't suggest using it. But learning about the past
Heartening you weren't aware it's meaning, honestly, though we all need to know them to avoid.
my exact sentiments
AVAA
I feel like I have an interesting perspective here, as someone who is a Person of color but not black so I am very familiar with the idea of being immersed in cultures that are not my own. In my daily life I am chest deep in whiteness and it really does alienate me, and that applies to the music I listen to as well. Both of my favorite genres (old 70s rock and hip hop) are very white and black oriented respectively and I don’t know where to fit in in any of the cultures. I’ve grown closer to hip hop as non whiteness and opposition to white supremacy is easier for me to attach to than the other way around, but I still have to watch myself in these discussions to not say anything out of line myself. I still can’t go to the cookout but I can at least offer my own perspective on how whiteness can damage things and how to fight against it.
Another thing that may either help or harm your tourism metaphor. The tourism industry actually does a lot to hurt specific areas of the world. A lot of infrastructure specifically built for tourism comes at the expense of the people and culture that’s already there, with resources being spent on accommodating tourists who don’t want to spend time with the people they’re visiting the land of or engage with the culture. Something to think about in terms of hip hop maybe.
Well said prof, appreciate you and your sincerity as a person and towards the culture.
never heard of this dirt person, good video tho prof AVAA
I feel like a tourist with no home to return to. I wonder what I should do
listen to clairo
Stick around you might get the exclusive invite.
That thumbnail! 😂😂😂
belongs in a museum lol and it should be the first thing you see tbh CLASSIC
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had mixed feelings about the apology to begin with, but tried to engage in the spirit of kindness/assuming good intentions while gently pointing out why good intentions aren't always enough. But even before you mentioned the seltzer thing (thanks for that--I had no idea) I was getting a sinking feeling in my chest the more I thought about it. I think what gets me is that it still felt like he was trying to frame himself as, like, the main character of hip-hop, the beef, and UA-cam commentary. His racist lashing out at Justin Hunte was all about what JH was supposedly "trying to do to him" when Hunte clearly wasn't trying to do anything TO him at all. It was all about HIS theories, HIS takes, HIS credibility, and how HE was being "objective" whereas JH, an actual journalist, was showing his "bias" and being a "snake" because he liked WTD's earlier videos but not this one? Which somehow constituted a personal betrayal of WTD, instead of a professional critique of a colleague?
Although WTD deserves some credit for recognizing and publicly stating that the things he said about JH were artefacts of projection and were actually about himself, his apology still made EVERYTHING about himself. HE suffers from mental illness. HE was projecting. HE was the only person who EVER "made" JH be unkind. (He didn't make JH do shit and JH was still very kind, even in his fierce response.) He even weirdly sounded somewhat proud of getting a reaction out of JH. Even his saying none of the things he said about JH were true was weird--I'm pretty sure no one ever thought they were, the problem is that WTD said them in the first place.
Yes, it sucks when people you respect, who had said you were doing a good job, start saying you're not doing so great. Yes, it's natural to have an emotional reaction to that, including feelings of anger and hurt, even if the person is right. But to use those feelings to attempt to discredit that person's professional and personal identity is beyond the pale even without the blatant racism, and then still centring those feelings in your apology is gross, imo. Sigh.
Your comment on his video really stood out.
I owe a big part of my current education to you.
Big thanks to you Pofessore Skye!
PS: here I would love to use the formal expression of „you“ as we have it in german to express respect:)
AVAA when bro brought it back to the japan story to make his point i was like wooooah that was cool, love this channel
Yea the happy dad brand is definitely getting access to our culture. akademiks, a bunch of streamers, even Snoop has death-row brand on it now, and celebrities go on that FULL SEND POD
Nice coverage, especially the funding or sponsorship part. Thank you!
I think the fact that there is a dimension on which What's the Dirt (or whoever) can consider themselves marginalized might contribute to the problem. I know a lot of people that, because they have some lived experience of some marginalization, they can be less empathetic to the plight of others. It seems like the reasoning goes something like "If I, someone who knows marginalization, doesn't find this offensive, it must not be offensive." It flattens all othering to the subject's experience of othering
Woooow, a lot of creatoes have had their take on this apology, i even listened to Jeremy's take on my way to work this morning. However, you hit the nail on the head perfectly, as a tourist of the culture. I say this because, in that sense, you are on the same grounds as wtd, and boi oh boi, you blew me away.
Thank you for showing how things can be from the other perspective.
Completely love that tourist analogy. I love Yasujiro Ozu as well, and years ago I visited his grave at Kanagawa. But of course, no matter how in tuned I felt with Japanese Zen Buddhism, and enjoyed the sense of zen, of peace, etc watching his films, and soaking in the atmosphere in that temple-grave site, I in the end cannot claim this culture. I am not Japanese, and I was born years away from experiencing that time period where Ozu and his contemporaries were producing films. There will always be an invisible barrier preventing me from truly understanding the Japanese condition that Ozu, Mizoguchi, and Mikio Naruse were making films about. I think it's possible to take inspiration from a culture while still acknowledging your cultural identity as a tourist. In this movie context, somebody like Quentin Tarantino I think does quite well in how he openly credits the Japanese movies he takes inspiration from in the movie itself (e.g. Kill Bill).
Was that the album that David Robinson of the Cars played on before he was in the Cars?
I struggled through patronising part too - cringe - he feels his impact on Justin was so deep. ShawnCee was right about the apology! It was pathetic.
Doc you really made me watch the linked videos first to come back and finish this video, you are the best.
Love the thumbnail
Very thoughtful, Professor. I'm a sub who was happy to see your thoughtful commentary on this subject.
Please keep this up!
Thanks for pointing out the far right sponsorship.
Thank you for this response!
Personally, I am of the opinion that Matt's apology was full of half-truths that add up to an entire lie.
See, Happy Dad is also connected to Drake. Matt's assignment on the FM breakdown was to smear Kendrick first, and to make the beef seem like a closer contest than it was.
Matt CHOSE to do this breakdown and the promotion of it by being racially antagonistic, which is unsurprising when we consider his sponsorship.
I think he panicked when he saw how poorly his hit-piece was received and he crashed out - all while carefully maintaining a racist tone in his responses.
He didn’t fail as a tourist. He failed as a cultural assassin.
One of the best things is that I found all those people mentioned, beyond already following Curtis, as a result of all of this...
You too huh?
@@fluffywolfo3663 Oop, already had FD Signifier. Out here collecting UA-cam infinity stones... 😅
Loved this dialogue. New to professor Skye’s channel but what is AVAA?
maybe the skye endorsement will be the final push i need to get into ozu
Hell yeah! We could do a movie group.
The King T album shootout was bananas! That was my favorite album at that time too.
Damn I love professor skye. He really gets it. That's like me writing and commenting about Italian people even though I grew up in a mostly Italian town I can't tell you about their culture to the full extent. I can say some things about them but I'm still an outsider.
I loved your take on this… I was waiting on you haha. Hopefully he learns his lesson. Hopefully this is a cautionary tale for others too.
I'm Asian, my friends are black and Persians. We understood from early on in our youth there's no such thing as a Multipass. We only have short term Visas. We don't overstaying our welcome and we learned through that to respect each others culter. 40 years later and we're still friends.
I think Curtiss King put it best in his video when he said "We gotta know where you stand and we don't know where you stand until you say too much". That is a very relatable reality for a lot of communities. WTD said too much
You do good work Dr Skye ❤ We appreciate you 🎉
The F.D. line about Candace Owens always stuck with me too; I was so happy to hear you mention it. It's one of those things that feel incredibly obvious once you hear it, but holy shit does that 'default' upbringing encourage this weird sense of entitlement when it comes to having opinions on marginalized identities.
Speaking on behalf of the culture, Bravo 🙌🏾 Excellent commentary!! 💯
I appreciate this profe, thank you for the video

Quoting Key 🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love it.
AVAA, would have subbed for thr Fifth Element reference if I wasn't already. The message of 'you just have to believe them' needs to go a long way and hopefully it does
Rock has been getting better in the last twenty years, it's slowly becoming a more inviting scene ever since it left the mainstream! Lots more women and minorities involved in the whole process. Just compare a crowd today compared to back then it's night and day, the 70s and 80s macho, rigid, times are fading away, still a long way to go of course but it's nice to see.
"Watch, observe, and enjoy. But never participate and think you're a part of it" is my belief. Never failed me.
I'm not black or American, but I have come across multiple different cultures in my own country that I'm not familiar with. When they're performing their arts or dances, I don't go over there and start breakdancing. Just enjoy the art, take a couple photos (if allowed), and leave.
Just like how you don't put anchovies or pineapples on pizzas. Egg fried rice doesn't need the Western chili jam. And hip-hop doesn't need my outsider input.
🎉Thank you professor ❤
Really enjoyed the fifth element reference Professor 😊 great video 🫶🏾
If anything, this whole discourse has shown me why it's important and okay to gatekeep
You’re right half ssa apology and then making sure his sponsors was in the video. He never meant to breakdown meet the grahams and not like us they paid him not to that’s why his family matters breakdown was so opinionated so he can have an excuse to not do those breakdowns instead of just not doing them but we all know what’s the dirt is compromised. he been showed us who he is so now we really see and know. He always wear his happy dad cap and his happy dad boxes sit on each side of him . And he really doubled down in his so called apology with his happy dad shirt on too hell nah i call cap. he’s not like us
"You done messed up A Aron"😂😂😂 im listening to this in the gym and the dumbells almost fell on my chest
AVAA, i love your stuff so much! But im gonna have to stop watching for a while cos im staying away from the online stuff. Will miss it! (Gonna have to keep listening to your podcast features tho)
Much love!!!
A solid example i can think of I'm black i love kpop I've lived a life with prejudice and listened to kpop since i was 10 ( I'm 26)
I WOULD NEVER TRY AND TELL A KOREAN ABOUT KOREAN MUSIC!!
I WOULD NEVER TELL A KOREAN THEY LOOK LIKE THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING THAT'S IS STEREOTYPICALLY CONSIDERED KOREAN!!! No amount of love of Korean culture or lived experiences of oppression gives me ANY right
"Leeloo Dallas multipass"... As if I couldn't be even more of a bigger fan 😂 excellent video, prof!
Just have to say that there is more nuanced, well thought out and brutally honest discussion in 30 seconds of this video than most people will put in full videos their whole careers on UA-cam. Keep doing this, its good for people.
Probably the best analogy and breakdown of what it means to be in solidarity with non-white, non-American communities.
AVAA, i just hope that what's the dirt will be able to take in this criticism and realize his position so that he can grow
