It irks me, especially the “urban” inflection throughout the write-up.

Is this an unintended Arab characterization or just careless hipster referencing?

Maybe I’m just annoyed having read the write up and PatriotsWillWinToday’s sinister racist comments.

They dance like monkeys when we ask them, they change their names, have no identity, we've bribed them to not believe in anything, and we stoke their insecurities so that they re-paint their whole faces and body with a new pigment. We're exploiting the hell out of Nicki and her people.</p> Nicki Minaj and her ilk are basically 21st century cotton-pickers.

Nicki sucks. She needs to go back to Trinidad. She’s a corporate stooge, a sell-out for her people, and has NO talent. She’s a copycat, and an embarrassment to those she represents. She was selected to become famous by corporate-types with a focus group in mind. They have a product life cycle behind Nicki, and they’ve successfully branded this commodity.

M.I.A. is awesome, and this song of hers sucks.
