It’s the terror of knowing what the song will be about
Ice Ice Baby has a pickup in the phrase that isn’t in Under Pressure. It’s an easy way to know what’s coming.
It’s how Vanilla Ice won against Queen’s copyright infringement lawsuit.I heard him defend it in an interview once. This is legit what he said: “Under Pressure goes ‘Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum.’ But Ice Ice baby goes ‘Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum tss.’” That’s a whole new work of art, guys! Like if I copied the Mona Lisa, but gave her like a strand of hair hanging down over her eyes. Artistically and legally distinct!
Holy shit somebody else that saw that interview. It always crosses my mind.
That was so silly. I mean, it was a sample. That’s the fundamental basis of hip hop. There’s no shame in it. Why would he try to pretend it was anything different?
Tbf, he later admitted that saying that was stupid.
Ah yes, the lollipop guild defence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HBmZuJlHs
Not quite. Turns out Van Winkle bought the rights to the song, and shares in the royalties with Queen, to avoid going to court.
I remember hearing the opposite a long time ago. Thanks for the correction!
It’s a shitty rip off from a musical standpoint. I’m glad he has to pay.
Looks like they probably share publishing rights if you read closely.
“Queen fans” is a perfect double entendre here.
There’s something worse, but only the UK was fully steeped in its horror.
I opened that in a private window so my google account wouldn’t get sullied by its eldritch horror.
Holy hell that’s terrible. I only got about a minute in before I had to stop it.
I couldn’t even go that long. Can’t tell you why, but that made me very uncomfortable.
Same! I was wondering why it made me so uncomfortable and I think I figured it out. It reminded me of the kind of things my friends and I would do to play when we were little kids, but it was done - ostensibly - by adults for adults and with high production value.
I made it to two. It just keeps going.
Thank you, I enjoyed that.
What. The. Fuck.
oh man I hate that one song with the nicely singing woman and im like. this aint bad I wonder what the song is. then mm voice starts in… its like a vulcano fought a tornado while eating a potato with a side tomato
…are you talking about Stan by Eminem? https://youtu.be/sixjHud8lYw
I’ve been staring at this comment for like 5 minutes, trying to figure out what this could possibly be. I might be a little stoned.
(On the off chance I got it, the lady is Dido, song is Thank You.)
This is exactly what I instantly thought of as well.
I really don’t know the name. The girl sings like watch me burn
You’re thinking of Rhianna and Eminem, love the way you lie,.or something like that. It’s hysterical to me that that’s the song you’re talking abt because the person who originally replied to you suggested Eminem and Dido. So. I think you just don’t like Slim Shady.
oh I was just giving another example of a song you think might be nice and then its like ugh. but yeah no emimen love here. Honestly no fan of any rap or country for the most part.
What about Indian folk metal rap?

I bring the fire and the fury of the third world, son!It’s about politicians who use religion to divide people, and the song title is Gaddaar, which is Hindi for “traitor”. Their other songs include Jee Veerey, which means “live, brave one” and is about suicide and bullying. And Dana Dan, which means “bring the beatdown” and starts with the lyric “I put a fist through the face of a rapist”. There’s also Chakh Le, which means “rise up” and advocates for a revolution against the billionaire class.
One of their tours was called Raj Against The Machine and iirc they donated a bunch of profits to animal shelters
It’s the most popular metal band in India
That’s amazing, thank you for sharing!
im almost scared to click on it but im going to work up the courage. ugh though my wife is depressing me atm. ill try to save this to look at later.
I know that Shrek is all about parody of fairy tales and princesses. But I don’t know what story that character came from. It’s much appreciated if someone can give me an explanation. Thank you.
Cinderella. One of the 2 “ugly stepsisters”.
I don’t recall totally how they’re used in Shrek, but I’m pretty sure it’s from the “transphobic trap” story. When Shrek was made it was perfectly acceptable (maybe even encouraged) to make fun of trans people and to call them traps.
Sorry for the slur if it offends anyone, but I’m pretty sure that’s what this trope is.
I just don’t find males attractive. I don’t find male genitals attractive.
OK. How is that relevant.
Nice transphobic meme format you got there, very cool
Oh wow your post history is just a dumpster fire huh?
