Local H (with any drummer) are criminally underrated as a band and Scott Lucas should be talked about amongst the best songwriters of the past 20 years. Thanks for this write up, glad to see them getting some love.
This goes back to what Jerry Seinfeld said recently. People just love to throw out the words racist, sexist, and prejudice without even really thinking what they are accusing people of. Just because a white artist says something negative about a black artist does not make it racist. Frank Zappa had a great phrase in his statement at a senate hearing against the PMRC and it was "treating dandruff by decapitation." He used it for an entirely different reason, but I think it applies here as well. Noel saying something negative about Kanye is dandruff, and Vic Mensa calling him a racist for it is decapitation.
It should also be pointed out that Noel Gallagher has something bad to say about 90% of musicians, not just artists of a certain race.
