Yo...so I knew this happened in 2020 (?). I've followed the case in my peripheral the last week or so (reading blurbs, etc.). So I knew it was happening but I didn't follow it with salivating anticipation.

A music reporter was on NPR talking about the verdict this afternoon. She was talking about how it has divided the hip-hop community.

I consider myself a big hip-hop fan so I'm not blind to the problems it has (with women, queer community, etc.). But I'm also not really too connected on the internet (i.e. I don't use social media or message boards, besides this one).

So, I just looked at Torey Lanez sub-reddits.....holy fuck. Straight up the worst intersection of hip-hop fans, misogynist incels, people who spend too much time on the internet, and armchair lawyers.

I pretty much figured this after reading the absolutely awful comments Megan was getting FOR GETTING SHOT. WTF is wrong with these people?

Picture David Gilmour's face when hearing about this, right after putting out a pink floyd single to support Ukraine, on account of his Ukranian family being affected as well. And then like, 5 minutes later someone's going to call him and go "So....will you ever reunite with Roger Waters to play as Pink Floyd again?" for the 900th time.

looks like David Gilmours wife has strong opinions about waters


For context: it is probably a reply to this interview

I'm not a huge fan of Polly Samson's -- I found her influence on Division Bell to be a mixed bag: it's distasteful when a band brings in a nonmember to help with the writing, and that it was the wife of the singer/guitarist/songwriter gives it an extra whiff of bullshit. But, that said, Guilmour certainly wasn't coming up with ideas on his own and her influence on the end product wasn't actually bad per se -- but she's not wrong.
