Still Brazy was a big surprise. I really digged most of the production and I wish he would work with those producers again because Mustard isn't cutting it for me.

That's quite an achievement.
Damn wtf
Whelp looks like I'm checking this album out asap.
Pretty sure these are all allegations and he hasn't actually been convicted, right?
Sure; he's out on $100k bond. He previously plead guilty to armed robbery. Clearly they have some evidence on him as a he-said she-said doesn't get you a high bail.
I don't usually "convict" people in my mind based on criminal charges; but definitely don't want to support someone with that kind of record while they are being looked at for a brutal rape. Also, his music aint that great lol.
X is a weird case, bc he really wasn't popular until AFTER those allegations, its fucked.
Like in a you know he grew up outside of the environment and most of his use of nigga comes from listening to rap music(AKA most suburban white kids)? I guess. But he is black, so it still doesn't matter.
I imagine the first time Drake met Fewtch was like
"Why hello there, my fellow nigga! I hear you've been doing some serious 'trapping' there down in Atlanta. Well most may not tell you this but up in The 6, I'm considered quite the excellent 'trapper' myself. I love taking my homies out on the street, picking up promiscuous women, and sharing some of our Dirty Sprite with them! So how do you feel about collabing with me? Two niggas doing some real hood shit if you know what I'm saying!"
"..........."

Didn't he also beat some gay dude up half to death for just looking at him?
Allegedly
First thing I did was look his dirty ass up, learned that...nope
See it on Google Play, didn't know it was even releasing. Little to no promotion.
It's a flaw, but he's definitely one of the best up and coming rappers.
Institution and Lil Big Pac are both great mixtapes.
Breh is a little over my height and weighs like 120, how is he still alive.

The Drake issue reminds me of the time Donald Glover visited Drake's pad or something in LA.
It's an issue I can't really weigh in on considering the fact I'm not black and I was basically raised like a suburban white kid, but the politics behind it are interesting. It's weird because I was at a Vince Staples show yesterday and he played "Lift Me Up" and you could hear the crowd chanting the opening bars "I'm just a nigga until I fill my pockets and then I'm Mr. Nigga", and it seriously made me wonder what percentage of the people saying that were white kids with no sense of awareness.

What did he say?
Don't remember exactly; just remember he pointed it out a couple times.
He was chill at the VIP meet and greet thing though; got a picture with him.
Any rap concerts feature a whole lotta white kids saying nigga, I remember watching a video for All Day...concert was like a damn snowstorm and it's full of folks saying nigga.
A light-skinned Ethiopian dude from Canada asking if two dudes from South Central LA and ATL were niggas is just a sign of the times I guess.
Ain't considered a nigga if ya nerdy and shit. Considerrd nu black off the jump. Considered "white".

I know. The reason I posted it was related to that idea of who qualifies as such, not necessarily related to Drake and whether he qualifies or not.

I'm not sure what terms of endearment Japanese people have reclaimed, but if there are I would never feel comfortable saying them, honestly (one side of my parents is Japanese).
Meh, my grandma's Ethiopian and my dad has been repeatedly called "nigger" growing up but I don't really feel or see the need to use it liberally. It's very much a rap a long or joke around with black buddies secluded from other type thing.
I do imagine being a black and in the rap game multiplies how many times it's said, though.

How do you feel about weeb culture
Had to teach people that just because you got a friend who allow you to say nigga around them, doesn't mean I will.

Beats me. Despite being Half-Japanese, I have little knowledge, and interest of Japanese culture. I like video games that are Japanese, but even then I'm not into Japanese gaming as much as I am into Western video games.

Sounds like a traitor to me. Shameful.
Commit sudoku to restore half of your family's honor
In all seriousness not something I'd throw around on my own in conversation; since I don't use the word at all not hard to avoid. But I did have a friend who seemed to think a good way to prove I was "down" with whatever dirt was going on was to get me to call him "my nigga" in front of other people. Didn't always go over well.

Traditional Japanese Culture is actually pretty bad ass.

Oh now it's badass? Stop it, fam, you're done.
I've ingested enough Japanese movies, games, and anime to consider myself an honorary Japanese.
I feel like I can speak on behalf of all of Us when I say it's too late for you.
Persona 5 in stores soon, more classics pon your headtop

"hello?" "this is vagina"
I was at an Awful Records gig in Hackney, and KCSB was like, "Everybody say FUCK THEM NIGGAS - no wait, nobody say that!"
It was far, far less white that the usual crowd in London too. Probably the only rap show I've been to where singing along verbatim wouldn't have been too weird.
