Would of been more funny if he switched bodies and was using outdated white people slang to everyone's confusion.

Lil Dicky, Chris Brown, N-Word controversy
- Thread starter LionPride

Are you sure? Switching bodies with someone is more common than you think.
it's a joke song and bhris wrote and performed the verse as well
trash article, keep it moving.

Not really my place to judge whether this use of the n-word is okay or not but the mystical no-English Chinese man and the celebration of Chris Brown seem like questionable elements as well.
I wish, tbh.
I'd love to try around. Still in Vienna, but spend some time as someone born to Turkish parents, then maybe walk in the shoes of a refugee... just learn how my close neighbors live their lives, get treated, and so on.
And obviously, I want to be a woman for at least a month.
Not sure if I agree on the Chinese man. Well, maybe the no-English part, but the "mystical Chinese man" is just a reference to Freaky Friday, no? I think that it should be okay as a parody.
This song is funny. I think people need to stop thinking so hard about how to be offended. Chris did the verse, so it's all good. Chris Brown is still trash tho.
I know he's still a major mainstream artist but fuck that women beating piece of shit.
He didn't just hit Rhianna, he beat her within an inch of her life.
I don't forgive women beaters. Especially ones that don't appear remorseful.
I agree. That's the part I find distasteful.
The video is good. I like Lil Dicky's music. Dude is smart.
I haven't seen the movie so I didn't know it was a direct reference. I don't know if that makes it totally ok but I'm not saying it's a grave offence or anything.
"I said High Diddly Ho, but they thought I called them hoes ~"
The song is terrible but the video makes up for it for being funny and at the same time correlating well to the song.
On to the N-Word part, I don't see nothing wrong with it at all, one's who do are just looking to complain.

He has gotten a restraining order filed against him by a ex-girlfriend as recently as literally last year. After many things including sending a text saying the following "Bitch I will beat the s--t out of you"
So yes, Chris Brown hasn't changed. He's still the same piece of shit.
Yeah, it is still questionable (as in "I wouldn't instantly dismiss concerns raised by anyone), but I just wanted to point out it was not just some lazy stereotype, but an actual reference to the story this is based on.
The controversy is recent and has happened because some idiot lacrosse players posted a video of them singing along to it.

Maybe because a bunch of white folks screaming the n-word isn't a good look.

Jokes are fine. The line the article quoted didn't contain a joke. There was a stereotype, and then a word that Jews should not call each other.
Where's the punchline?
Curb is hilarious, and I love making Jew jokes and hearing them.
Hell no, these are 2 very different things.
Your post indicates you're not black, so what would it matter to you anyway?
The words have 2 different origins, and have developed in vastly different ways. Many believe that kike started as a derogatory term from 1 Jew to another. Then other people used it as a derogatory term for us too. There's no good reason that a Jew should be saying it. It's not edgy or funny, its embarrassing
I'm sure you know the history of the N word, and you know how it has developed.
When I see how annoyed people get that they're not supposed to say the N word, it shows the power of what black people have done with it.
I mean, you say that, but in the link, they literally write
"In this music video, the white guy makes a big show of saying the word "nigga," repeatedly and with abandon, to himself and others."
For them, the video itself is a huge problem.
That's what's so crazy to me. This is a blatantly false statement.
Taboo things have appeal. They make people curious. Just look at children. I absolutely understand that the n-word is not for me, but because if that, if I suddenly woke up black, it would be an experience I'd be curious about. Being able to do this thing I cannot do now. Trying to paint this concept as a show of racism just seems like the author lacks an understanding of how humans function.
That was pretty funny. Who knew little dicky had enough clout to get so many random people to do a video with him. I just remember him as some youtube rapper.
As for the "controversy, I'll just say, people on the internet should probably get over themselves with who they choose to "forgive". I don't think Chris Brown, or anyone for that matter, gives a shit if some random people on an internet forum "forgive" him. He's a millionaire, he's probably eating a tomahawk steak in Dubai or something right now, who the fuck are you?
The "nigga" part is not even worth getting into, yall need to go on with your day.

And who the fuck are you to tell me I'm supposed to just be ok with a celebrity brutally beating a woman?
I will keep bringing it up and you can choose to keep being salty about it.
User Warned: Using threatening language against another user.
You don't wanna know who I am bro. And I will continue to be salty about it, thank you very much.
.......are you defending a dude that beats women by saying "He's rich and eating steak in Dubai who the fuck are you?"??????
Why do I need to forgive him? I was just curious why I shouldn't listen to his music because of what happened to Rhianna years ago. But as I read above apparently he is still acting like a douche bag. I don't keep up with celebrity news so I didn't know he was harresing his ex girlfriend. I've never purchased any of his music so it's not as if though I support him but I'm not going to say he can't make a living because he broke the law once. I was just taken aback by the shock some posters had that Chris brown was on this song. He's on like every song on the radio since forever.
These comments make me worry I misunderstood. It's still Dicky talking while in Brown's body, right? He himself is saying that word in the song?
I hate Chris Brown (the dude) and don't really mess with Lil Dicky's music like that but the video was pretty funny. Even the Lil Dicky (in CB's body) saying nigga part, which I expected to hate, turned out funny.
You are not thinking conspiracy theory-ey enough.
It's obviously CB, posting from Dubai.
I really don't give a shit about him breaking the law. It's the part where he beat his girlfriend to a bloody pulp while screaming at her that he was going to kill her.
