I wish i could claim ownership of finding this awesome man, but i cant. Someone else did and i am posting this because its so incredibly important. Reggie Watts tackles issues such as race and gender in a comedic way. The weight of his subject-matter is off set by his awesome ability to make you giggle at it......in a nervous and funny way.
In his video Fuck, Shit, Stack he uses crude language in order to comment on the lack of use of proper language within young culture today. He comments on the status of HIGH ART with his "put some fuck on a wall. ananlyze it" commentary, and ties it all together with horrible statements about women and wearing bullet proof vests for no reason, thus commenting on race. The cynicism and sarcasm are so important.
Please watch this video in its entirety. Im also attaching a Santogold song because she is amazing.
im also going to attach one more video about language specifically, taken from def jam poetry by a guy named Taylor Mali.
i vote for complete annihilation of art-speak. we need to take it back down to basic feelings while, like, you know, still declaring things to be, like, true.
what?!??!? this is brilliant!
