Just googled Hoops, never heard it before

Sounds terrible lol

Not enough auto-tune for you?

Yep, that must be it  ;)

Okay so couldn't find this thread until it got linked when I thought there wasn't any music thread! But here we are!

Now down to it, does anybody have any views or opinions on the Kesha case?

I fully believe her and what she's been through and this is a miscarriage of justice.



But when I see photos like this, where the comments on this photo i saw on facebook where they relate this case to every single case of rape or abuse and saying things like how females are being made as objects.

I haven't followed it closely, but I'm not sure about what evidence was given and if there was any, or if it was just based on what she said vs what he says.

People have labelled this particular case as a, World who cares about men making money over a women and her safety (Only based on these photos) dehumanizing women, money making objects, being denied basic human rights.

Now let's flip it...

Hypothetically, a man, with a women as an agent, can't get out of his contract, but he is accusing her of rape or whatever. Would it be the same? Or would it be seen as a man being jealous of how successful this woman is becoming and "falsely" accusing this woman and denying her a career. Equal rights huh?

Please note that based on what i've heard which isn't much that this guy that's being accused is guilty, i just don't agree with these people taking this case as it was every single case against any man ever. This is just simply my opinion on this particular photo/explanation

[fanTCfool]

Without reading the mountain of text on the right, from what I have heard, she certainly deserves to escape her contract if this guy is guilty.

*Read Text*

If a guy was to accuse a female manager of rape or abuse, I agree in some aspects that it probably wouldn't be treated the same, probably because, historically, the likelihood is significantly lower than the other way around. Obviously though, anyone suffering abuse doesn't deserve it, regardless of their sex.

I think that the text on the right does become possibly a little over the top as it comes to an end, but in some respects I find it generally accurate.

Personally, I'm not sure that the money is overly relevant to this case, from what I have heard, it is that Kesha is unable to leave her recording label despite suffering abuse that no one should have to in the workplace. And obviously, bringing the guy to justice for whatever offences have been committed.

I have no doubt she should be able to, but the rant is pretty much based on the text on the right

[fanTCfool]

Added bits and pieces as they came to me.
It's another one of those problems that we shouldn't be talking about as they really shouldn't exist.

[Cookie Monster]

It shouldn't be but it is, it's always brought up by the equal rights activists that fight for everything for them but when it flips they completely turn the other cheek and say it shouldn't happen because this girl has said she's been drugged and raped and saw crying.

What's to say the evidence showed no signs of what the bloke was being accused for? And when it's flipped the other way around the same activists flip there shower

[Nige]

I never really try to get into conversations about this kind of stuff. Because a) it doesn't really interest me and b) I don't like getting 'involved' in stuff like this.

But yeah, I was never a big Kesha fan, but she apparently was trying to clean up her act or something and I've got respect for anyone who gives that a go (see 360 changing his life for the better - speaking of, get around Please Be Seated 3). She shouldn't be bound to her contract if what is being said is legit, that's just putting her through more hell.

Anyway,

Anybody listen to/have an opinion on We the Kings? Never listened to them but going with gf to see them next week because they're literally playing at the end of my street and she has a spare ticket.

I know of them having listened to like three of their songs. Check Yes Juliet, Say You Like Me and some other one they did with Demi Lovato (idr the name tbh).

They're basically your typical pop punk/pop rock kinda band as far as I know.

[elephants]

Heaps more pop than punk or rock though haha

[Nige]

360's new mixtape is reaaaaally good.

[fanTCfool]

Might not be everybody's cup of tea, but I have just started listening to the latest Macklemore & Ryan Lewis album, I've only listened to the first few tracks, but so far so good, catchy songs with a strong meaning.

Listening to the 360 mixtape Nige speaks of next.

[Nige]

I chucked the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis album onto my Spotfy yesterday but am yet to listen. Heard nothing but goood things so far though. Chance the Rapper is a feature and killed his verse as he does on every track.

[elephants]

Anyone in RA the Rugged Man? Not quite as poppy as a Macklemore or the like but spits some insane bars.

A lot of people find him too rap goddy if that makes sense, I see it, but I think its a redic criticism to make haha
