I'm out of the loop, what happened with Snoop?

He embraced Trumps inauguration by performing at the MAGA "Crypto Ball" in celebration of him.

that's actually cringe asf

This is why we can't have anything nice.

Unless more happened, he performed for Trump. I don't think he supports Trump, but he is a massive sellout.

always has been. he's a party rapper. there's avenues of rappers. he's there to make tracks to get the party going. his music is meant to be unchallenging while selling whatever aesthetic the people will buy. playing for trump was absolutely a step too far, but it's not a betrayal, not really. it's just a continuation of who he's always been and what his career represents.

Yeah, that's why I wasn't really surprised when he did it. Disappointed, but not surprised.

I mean, he's a human being. I felt betrayed by everyone else who supported Trump's inauguration too, and everyone who voted for him. Every last one can go chew on broken glass as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think his early songs were unchallenging. He was very into the crips vs bloods rap and bad mouthing police.

Obviously he eventually changed and sold out, but I don't think he started that way.

Seconded, fuck that traitor.

It's not just that I'm going to lose, it's that I'm going to feel particularly bad about the loss after.

Most video games too.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

At least at the beginning of video game competitions, a lot of the kids are just fans of the game and aren't bad to play against.

Running into a kid later in a tournament is humbling though.
