The Unpopular Opinion thread.

[undadog4eva]

Fair enough. Also keep in mind that just because a thread isn't made on here it doesn't mean that people on here aren't aware of other issues. I don't think there's a thread about the Sony hackers or how the new Seth Rogen movie "The Interview" isn't being released because of concerns with North Korea.

I think you and i perhaps have different understandings of the word "aware". If u ask me if i am aware of taylor swift, then yes i am, but i dont know anything about her!

In the same, generally Americans MIGHT be aware of the greater world and forces at play among them, but do they actually know what is going on? Do they know what is happening in kenya and why and how that that impacts the rest of the world?... I will venture and say, probably not.

and hey, americans are not the only ones guilty of it, I will say the same of most Australians, that they are also quite sheltered and ignorant however not to the same degree as Americans though. I have never met anyone in my country who thought Africa was a country so there is that...

It's not just about threads but even the manner of argument. Anyway, even outside the States, not everyone keeps up with current events and I don't expect it to be of interest to everyone. What counts is whether we've got a godly outlook

[JoshGordon]

Mate you don't need to pay close attention. Even just a little attention to what's happening elsewhere will help broaden one's perspective on even the issues of race relations and injustice. The very reasons why we study history are the same reasons why we should take a look at the world beyond our homes. That's why some of us from outside look at some of these threads and shake our heads

I don't think that Americans for the most part are unaware of what happens out there in the world. Just because we don't post a thread on it or discuss it, doesn't mean were not aware of it.

Guess we shouldn't say that about just Americans then

[EgoVanEgo]

Again, as i said, it's not just about threads but even the manner of argument

[unworthy]

Nope, because when we bring them up the Americans don't appear interested

There is that...

[unworthy]

what Egovanego said.

There has been the canada shooting, Boko haram in Nigeria, al shabab bombings in kenya where more than 300 people so far this year have been killed, the martin place siege in sydney (my own country)...the list goes on.

But there is not a peep on those happenings. But a guy gets shot by cops and BOOM!! the interwebs explode!


In fact, if you wanna know, Egovanego and myself are in two different countries (he in Africa, me in Australia) and we regularly chat on these things happening around the world and much more on whatsapp. But look on facebook/twitter on many of the people's pages, the CHH artists pages and they show themselves to be, in your words, "self absorbed, apathetic" etc. not even a mention of these serious things happening globally, rather then are concerned about perceived, true or not, injustices all the while they are living in perhaps the richest country in the world!!

Just an observation mate, thats all.


It is after all an unpopular opinion thread

You're good my friend. No hard feelings.

"#SameTeam" was overrated. I'm all for the concept and I like the (official) remix, but the beat was wack.

The verses were hot, I don't think the beat was all that hot.

I feel like the following guys have tons of talent but I not a huge fan of their recent music:
Social Club, Freestyle Fam, Flame, Trip Lee, Black Knight, Isreal Houghton, Kirk Franklin.

Gawvi's production is technically amazing, but sonically, his sound is not diverse enough to warrant a whole album, let alone two. Anomaly and Rise are proof

I wish Reach Records could have figured out a way to keep Sho Baraka on the label. Talented Xth is better to me than anything Reach has released lately.
Ali's production on the Talented Xth deserves an award.

Beats headphones are overpriced and overrated. Average performance with Elite pricing..

Trap is not Dead but somedays I wish it was.

Don't remake a song unless you are making it significant better...

Live instrumentation sounds better, especially in concert. Why pay to see you live if you are rapping to a track when I can listen to the album.

[plainoleme]

The only marvel movies i cared about or care for are the Xmen line

[plainoleme]

I dont see the hype with Heath McNease.

Parks & Rec is one of my favorite shows ever, sits slightly below Arrested Development

[plainoleme]

2 & a half men is not funny, neither is anchorman

Is that an unpopular opinion?

[E.Gordo]

I've liked all the Young Noah songs I've heard. I guess they are his recent songs. I must be an anomaly. lol

Parks is probably in my top 10 comedies, and this last season has been really strong so far... Not nearly as good as AD though.

true. but that show is hilarious and brilliantly written with all the insiders.
