Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

This week’s Best And Worst Comments is publishing from Murfreesboro, TN, home of Julien Baker and a 40-minute ride to the annual arts and music megafestival Bonnaroo. It is my 10th or 11th time at Bonnaroo! That sounds like too much when it’s written out! In its 15th year the fest has LCD Soundsystem, Vince Staples, late-night Tame Impala, two SuperJams, some surprise sets, an area called Baconland, and, for the first time ever, flushable toilets. Flushable toilets are so key when it’s 99°. Livestream the music here and follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes c o n t e n t.

THIS WEEK’S 10 HIGHEST RATED COMMENTS

I’ve been struggling to hold myself back from commenting on the last few major rap releases here on the ‘gum, but someone’s gotta say something:

did you guys even listen to this?

there is no reason this thread should be comprised 90% of half-baked kanye jokes. Any music fan who legitimately gets something out of Future & Migos tracks *or* used to get something out of Graduation-era Kanye should absolutely love this. It’s a beaming, technicolor minimalist triumph with a silly hook, like many, many great posse cuts before it. It’s not even remotely boring; Chainz and Kanye and even YO GOTTI of all people are in rare form here. And that doesn’t even begin to describe how it feels to hear Gucci’s verses (that’s plural, people!!) here, alive and just as raw as he was before his last jail stint, but re-energized and glowing over a vibrant, triumphant, and actually pretty varied beat that these guys just wouldn’t have done before this year.

I know I’m not crazy. Listen, guys; you’re gonna be bumping this shit for a while

The trick is to never talk to people, ever.

My company can fire me for making statements on my own time that end up harming its reputation, and it’s pretty well within its legal right to do so.

Trump has the support he does mostly because there’s an army of shitkickers with might-makes-right attitudes who believe that they’re God’s favorites because they were born with pink skin and testicles, and are mad that they can’t get away with being assholes anymore.

I would totally be willing to go with you here if her statement just said, “I know Brock and I love him and I don’t think he would want to hurt anyone.” But if you’re going to say that people who are against raping unconscious people are just being PC, you’d better be ready for whatever heat you take.

“rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists”

…yes it is, that’s literally the definition of rapist: one who rapes.

This band torpedoed themselves just as they were starting to gain traction. Unbelievable.

Fuck you! So because this douchebag rapper is black we have to say the same old tired PC bullshit and protest that he’s being persecuted for being black and not because he’s a piece of shit.

Its bullshit to punish this person for free speech, esp as it was related to a court case, not even twitter or anything related to the band. PC culture has gone way too far. This is why Trump has the support he does.
