So. Miles thought Louie was a Coon.

I made some n*ggas and NON negros alike mad over @ Noz's house. [You never REALLY know who's who on the innernet.] House.

I called three six Mafia Coons.

My intent wasn't shock blogger, per se.



Or that I threw the statement out there for inflammatory reasons.

Yall know me. I got a code.

I knocks low brow, high brow, and the delicious middle.

HOWEVER. That does not mean that I won't call a spade a spade
when it comes to being critical regarding Black art.

I AIN'T gonna let the fact that some BLACK ART is sterotypical stop me from a. Listening to or watching it. b. Criticizing it.

Noz said something, and I responded. Simple as that.

If something strikes me, Imma respond, and DEFEND MY response w/ analytical reasoning.

This is how it went down.

Noz made a comparison between Mos and three 6.

Really it was quite revolutionary, predicting a confusing future where Three 6 Mafia would get more burn from the nerds than Mos Def.

I responded.

3-6 mafia= Imperial Coonage.

Mos Def= Refuses to Coon.

Easy.

Then it went from there.



I am posting my response here, because my responses @ Noz's house tended to get guantanamod .

In response to my statement, one commenter, crooked letters said,

The problem is that post rawkus/BOBS, Mos hasn’t really produced hot shit. Instead of getting by on the strength of his artistic work, people buy his work because he’s not an “ignorant rapper.” For people who really are concerned with good politics, good rap music, and good combinations of the two, it would be the most fraudulous of frauds to get caught up in symbolic icons. its che guevera t-shirt politics.

Afer reading this I had the following questions.
1. Wait. So buying music by rappers that are "not ignorant" constitutes fetishizing them? How?

2. Buying rap by rappers that are NOT ignorant constitutes T-Shirt Politics?

3. I wager that ALL artist get by on the strength of their relationships w/ fans. Perhaps, Mos has done so more so than others. I argue that THIS is A Benefit one receives from being an artist. Its called having credit in the bank.

4. And What in the f*ck in '07, is good politics? That shit is HELLLA vague.
