Maluca

As pointed out by Rebecca, a few tweets between Maluca and fellow Mad Decent artist Rusko reveal the former’s sensitivity to race issues and stereotyping. Interesting though that she didn’t seem to have a problem with her own Tigeraso video, which is full of imagery that could be easily misinterpreted. Yeah, it might have been filmed on location and full of “real” people from that hood but still, when you start broadcasting salons, bodegas, chancletas and rollers as accessories, what is the message?

starts off with a comment from Rusko, fellow Maddecent artist. El Sr. Dubstep from Leeds writes:

rusko 1

Maluca then responds:
maluca 2

This is the point where Rusko loses all credibility for me:

rusko 3

To be so clueless as to ask why fanfarronearando about your (most likely Latina)cleaning lady taking care of your mess is not acceptable shows a distinct mindset. As well as to ask in broken Spanish, maybe that is cool in England? Maluca lets him know.

maluca 4

Then it just gets nasty:

rusko 5

maluca 6

In conclusion: Maluca: dos milliones de puntos, Rusko: complete 0.
