... the other Black experience
!!! AGAINST THE GRAIN: POST YOUR UNPOPULAR OPINIONS !!!
It's BACK!
An all time great thread from the AP 1.0 foundation.
Massive props goes to the originator Onomatrix who brought us this powerful forum, inspired by by a forum on Playahata.com (if I'm correct). Ono, get on here and set it off with your unique perspective.
Objective: express the opinions that would normally get your run out of town if vocalized or presented. Example:
= Obama is not the best candidate but he's all we've got
= Black folks are our own worst enemy
= Women are too emotional
= Men are too emotionless
= Censorship is a good idea
= All women with perms hate their natural selves
= All men with dreads date white women
= Folks under 30 don't know anything about good music
= Chocolate owns vanilla
= J-Dilla couldn't touch Premeir, Large Pro, Pete Rock or Dre
...and so on (disclaimer: all the above examples do NOT represent my personal views, one or two maybe...).
This is not a place for full on debate & violent conflict, but please be free in how you express. And keep the page long flame-wars to private messages and off the boards.
Ready? Let's go!

I love Gang Gang Dance. Their last record was pretty dope. SMD is okay. They had a couple of joints worth listening to. Still love MIA. I never stopped every since Galang. Kala was pure genius. I'm not gonna hate just cuz Paper Planes became ubiquitous(spelling?-don't care, too early), Diplo is alright but Switch is the man. The shit he comes up with is otherworldy. My 2 cents.
Dragon of the Ghetto! said:what about Simian Mobile Disco? I hate that group! i have a friend who loves both the ting tings and simian. I like most DFA stuff. My favs are YACHT and Hercules and Love Affair. I dont care for the Juan MacClean too much at all. I also like Gang Gang Dance. They just signed to 4AD
Felipe said:will do. Yo that is sic! i'm not talkin bout groups like that or DFA or MSTRKRFT. i'm talkin bout the ting tings and any garbage like that.

I remember a friend telling me that when you become pregnant you become community property: everyone has something to say. They know better than you and suddenly want to telly you how to live. Something I've noticed is that black women get this more, even after they have the babies. The kids could be 21 and the mothers are still being considered community property. Blog: "Bad black mothers are community property" coming soon. I've noticed men doing it more than women, they want to tell these women how to do it then expect a thanks for being demeaning when they don't realize they're being demeaning.

Women can't have good sex numerous times without forming an emotional attatchment to the person they are sex-ing.
Disco is great. Fantastic. Wonderful.
Black women have severe cases of hair envy.
Please, please get your hands away from my hair.

I really hope Weezy does the jail time he's been avoiding for a year.
I'm annoyed that D'Angelo is getting busted AGAIN for some dumb shit. He's way too talented to be getting hauled off to jail once a year over some dumb shit. Leave the weed alone and get your ass back in the studio.
