Haha yeah I prefer YG


Not as big on DJ Koze as others but prefer the nice groove here to the borderline-embarassing "political" posturing of The Cube here

I can't in good faith vote for a 50 year old man rapping, "you so basic with your vape stick".

And

You cant spell crap without rap

And yet I got into both selections quite a bit. In the end though, I had to conclude the DJ went on too long for what it was and pulled the lever for Mr. Cube.

I enjoyed DJ Koze's album quite a bit, and this song is one of the standouts. Gets my vote over a song that was better than I expected but still had one of the corniest hooks I've ever heard.

It's... not really disco 😕

And that's not even the full-length version of the track. Full version is about 10min.


Oddly, I actually do think Ice Cube's age hinders the track. If he had made it 15-20 years ago (different times, diff president, whatever, etc... regardless) I'd think a little more highly of it. As it is, it's a little corny.

I'm really surprised at all the ageism here.

If nobody had never heard of Ice Cube and didn't see him performing the song, would anybody know that it was a 50 year old? And why does it matter? Does reaching a certain age mean you are no longer allowed to be disillusioned and you no longer allowed to protest? Does anyone complain when Dylan or Neil Young come up with a new song with a social message?

And it would seem obvious that the current President should be the most viable target of such, far more so than any President past.
