Been there for years and not taken down.

Wtf

 

[Bigwombat]

Damn!

 

[NPVinny]

That's gonna be a yikes from me, dog.

 

[Z-Beat]

And it was clearly meant to get a very specific person's attention based on the reviews mostly being "I was looking for an afro pick and what the fuck is this?"

 

[infinitebento]

oh no honey what is you doin

 

[Lotus]

Wtf

 

[super-famicom]

Is there a way to report this garbage?

 

[Mortemis]

Amazon ain't shit. Tf is that.

There's lots of horrible trash on Amazon Music/Movies/Books. Literally anyone can submit their content onto the platform. I think recently they started clamping down on shitty B-movies but there's still a lot of them on there and on youtube.

I think the 8chan founder was living off revenue from his books on Amazon too

Yeesh..

Yes. He recorded the album while in the asylum.

Two minutes of Googling is too high-effort for Era, though.

[stump sock]

lmao google tells me he's a black man, careful you don't pull something with these kneejerks

He also murdered a black woman in 1990.

It was his mother, when he had a schizophrenic breakdown. He spent 20 years in an asylum, hence the name of this album.

Edit: already covered above.

Thanks for this clarification. This is a damn interesting, yet tragic, story.

This is the album notes.

While in the asylum, as a means of survival, I put on a new face, becoming a wandering troubadour, a minstrel. My minstrel is a post-modern throwback to the dark days of institutionalized racist America where talented Negroes had to go undercover as clowns in blackface in order to make money in performance for black and white audiences. As an African American weaned on popular music and British Invasion rock the ironic juxtaposition is not lost on me, imagining myself a black man pretending to be a white man pretending to be black. Playing in an idiom most would ignorantly assume was created and is now dominated by whites I feel it is my right to take the music back.

Seems fine to me in context.

I actually just added it to my library, sounds like a fascinating listen.

It's the artist in blackface playing a guitar.

This is Issa, btw:

Comic book fans should check out his art. Some of it is really good.

There is nothing to discuss here.
