Playful crowd engagement or meaningful perpetuation? With major label contract comes greater responsibility? Choke no joke? Does this devalue his usage of “Queen” and “Earth”? Is there an offended someone @ every (reverse racism) rap show? If Jay Electronica was an OnSmash, would the Dept. Of Homeland Security stop the show and yell rape-prevention as justifiable cause? When is rape rape (Is putting a finger in someone’s ear rape?)? Is Assange not using a condom rape? Is @JayElectronica the wrong one to fuck with? Link
With regard to Jay Electronica, the issue isn’t the fact that he is discussing sex that involves erotic asphyxiation, or grabbing or smacking. Get it how you live. Sex on mutually agreed upon terms between two adults is what the streets want.
The issue is that when he asks “Do All Women Like Being Choked” question over and over again at different concerts, along with making statements like “You know what that means there’s a lot of women in Seattle getting choked against they will..[crowd laughter] “ he is contributing to an environment that renders sexual violence as normal, an environment that already blames women for being sexually assaulted, a sexual ecosystem where 60% of sexual assaults are not reported to police, a sexual ecosystem where every 2 minutes someone is sexual assaulted.
The issue is the silencing the woman in this video (@3:25 sec ) who tells him “It’s not funny.” He responds saying “We know its not funny. Relax” and then commands the crowd to repeat after him. Peace to her for speaking up. She is a #bravebear.
