    Why don't you stick up one of your "good inflation " links you thick cunt? While you're at it root out some of your posts stating Brexit is good because it will destroy the Torys.

    Here we go another fuvking internet warrior. 

     

    Inflation is rising throughout the world you cowardly little cunt, ours is made worse by the most incompetent government in British history.

    I don't think rap works as the written word.  I was at a community poetry event last night and I heard better, more incisive stuff than that. 

    Yeah you're probably right. I'm not a rap fan as such, very few albums I like as the hard knock type bluster becomes nauseous. This fella is different he spins it all on its head and asks questions, questions of himself, questions of everyone He's almost mocking the madness of it all. 

     

     

    Here's his musings on going back to Compton after finding fame. The music switches mid track to replicate the 90s/00s sound of the area of the huge artists of that time. Lamar is unique and that Puritzer prize he won was imo well deserved.

    Couldn’t agree more. He pushes the boundaries in a musical sense as well as every other. To Pimp A Butterfly still sounds radical even now, despite the fact he released it seven years ago. 
     

    I thought the theatricality of his show was more akin to someone like Kate Bush than a global hip hop icon. The use of the contemporary dancers to almost represent different versions of himself could easily have been distracting or made him seem pretentious. However, they just elevated the power of the performance.
     

    The whole Christ and blood iconography was fascinating too. No doubt some will have dismissed it as typical hip hop egotism and totally missed the points about faith and hypocrisy you’ve highlighted in your post. The message about women’s rights at the end was brilliantly done too. Not the usual over-excited preaching from the stage; it was interpolated into his lyrics and all the more incisive for it. 

    Couldn't agree more. He's the complete opposite of how people lazily veiw a rap artist. He's far more complex and musically creative. It's obvious like other artists before him he struggles with the bullshit of the fame and the industry. Some of his stuff reminds me a bit of Prince, the stuff he's done with George Clinton is musically amazing. I find him fascinating. 

     

    Let's have a track, the drumming, the bass line and the guitar on this is record sounds beautiful. I believe the bitch he's referring to is the music industry in general.

     

     

     

     

    Edit; I thought his performance at Glastonbury was imo l a fantastic cultural observation on some of the problems facing America today, example being the apparent contradictions between the church and women's rights. He's an amazing artist.

    Fuck me, Kendrick was fucking unbelievable. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a show like it. He is one serious, serious talent. 

    I think he's the most interesting and important musical artist on the planet. He apparently suffers badly with depression and question his faith. He's similar to many who have gone the church route before him, troubled. Marvin Gaye, Aretha, all them old blues players were the same, well Gaye got shot by his father who was a preacher. 

     

    Lamar questions the whole rap culture and points at the hypocrisy of the church whilst calling himself a hypocrite for living that type of life.  He's a special talent. 

     

    From his last track last night  'Saviour'

     

    'Preacher told me the vaccine work of the beast..then he caught covid prayed to Pfizer for relief ..

    So do I stay pure an end in bed for two weeks.. huh what you think?... I'm not your saviour 

     

    So the cats out the bag im not your saviour...

    find it difficult to love thy neighbour..

     especially when people ask ambiguous favours,

    ..but they heart not really in it, see it all for the paper..

    Independent thought is the eternal enemy.., these capitalists posing as compasionists offend me..

    think for yourself I'm not your saviour...

    The principle that I want Labour to show at the moment is the ‘do what it takes to win’ principle. Only then can they change anything. If the front bench turning up to picket lines makes them look like a party that’s not a party of government to some of the voters needed to actually get into government, then fine. Build a big fucking Trojan horse and ride it into Number 10 if needed, because that’s the only way to make a difference.

     

    It’s all very well patting ourselves on the back, getting photos ‘supporting’ workers, and then giving the Tories a huge mandate to destroy workers. That’s not supporting workers, not really. Supporting workers is using your platform to make substantive difference to their lives. Apologies in advance for speaking his name, but Corbyn gets a lot of praise for turning up at these events, but what has he really done in his entire career to make a serious change. Photos on the picket line make you feel good, but years in government allow you to do good. If he won the election, he could have given the workers the rise. Lammy turning up at NHS pickets doesn’t actually get them what they need. If you are serious about helping people, you can’t just ‘win the argument’, you have to win elections. 

     

    But the issue with Lammy is not just about "standing on picket lines" it's his refusal as a member of the shadow cabinet to show support for workers using their democratic right to strike. 

     

    Labour was born out of unions to give a voice to workers, unions provide the Labour party with the funding so these people's voice can be heard. The workers at Heathrow are on very low wages and are not demanding a pay rise but a return to the rate they were on pre pandemic. These workers are being treated appallingly.

     

     

     

    As for your mandatory dig at Corbyn, he's been an MP since the year dot and as far as I'm aware has always tried to stand up for the rights of workers as far as his power allows. His job is also to represent the people in his constituency and I believe he does/did this quite well. 

     

    People across the world do strike, they go on demos, they form picket lines. We see it here, we see it in the States and we see it on a regular basis in France. Been that way a long time and long may it continue. If people and politicians choose to show support then good for them.

    Jesus. That's pretty had to figure out. What a fucking weirdo. 

    I know very strange. He's another Katie Hopkins yet the BBC give him airtime.

     

    I imagine Lawrence would have been upset with the bbc showing a lot of gay and black performers from Glastonbury across its channels yesterday.

  7. The shooting in Oslo, which I think left two dead, as mentioned by Neil Tennent just now at Glastonbury, yet you've got this horrible rich kid cunt tweeting inflationary shit like below.If I bumped into this gimp on the street I'd probably twat him.
