is cultural appropriation considered a bad and racist thing these days or are we speaking of double measures i.e. i don't recall anyone being offended by madonna dressed up as a geisha, beyonce including a sort of country song on her last album or rihanna filming videos as queen of an african tribe.

is it because he's a white straight male? if so, ain't that racism, too?

Absolutely!

Look at Madonna in 1994, surrounding herself with black people in the Secret video and working with hot black producers. Did we think any the less of her for it? No! It's purely being interested in the work of others and being inspired by it. It works both ways! I just don't really see the problem at all.

so, he's blamed for working with black producers and making music black artists should be recording? SERIOUSLY?

I kinda hate myself for loving his "Supplies". Because of the masonic video. Why so literal? Bad taste.
And this so like what rap was 10-15 years ago.
Middle 8 though....

I'm warming up to the songs actually, despite initially hating them. Still cautiously optimistic he'll deliver a decent album.

Looks like he will. Nice songs are here.

Still can't get over this video. So his girl firing up the pyramid that's on dollar. Like anti-masonic gesture.
He rises from ashes to his son to scream at us: 'just leave, die already".

Do we need to die to rise from ashes? What in hell was that freaking message, or it just goes to Weinstein and others?

so the criticism on him is referring to cultural appropriation? isn't pop culture all about cultural appropriation and recycling trends?

i just don't get it :confused:
I have to say, this whole "cultural appropriation" thing bugs the SHIT out of me. I simply refuse to accept that such a thing even exists.

It's amusing to see Timberlake be SAVAGED on Popjustice for "cultural appropriation", yet it's perfectly fine for Madonna and numerous other artists over the decades to do the same. It's total bollocks. There's no such thing.

Unless I'm totally missing something of course?
Oi don't believe in that feckin cultural appropriation shite either, to be sure, to be sure.

Wow isn't it's the cultural appropriation?
Or sometimes it's a good thing. When Gwen wears wigs it is not, but with the proper guy we "all love"...
Boring song, reminds of Hey You.
Guys, you're kinda predictible.
You never answer to the acctual point, just the 'hooks'.

I posted the appropriation thing just for your reaction, cause I can't take it anymore. If that was a thing elsewhere... Not my thing

I'm kind of a bitch, newsflash
Still no one had an opinion on the child screaming at the end of the video.
Wow I say.

Pleasantly surprised at how much good stuff there is on the album. Even Filthy and Say Something grew on me.

i adored higher higher instantly and there are some interesting songs on the second half of the album, montana and livin off the land in particular. i understand the lyrics are not quite strong, but with english not being my native language I can pass that as long as the tunes are there.

HOWEVER young man is one of the most atrocious songs ever recorded in the history of pop music. songs about kids of popstars are always cringeworthy but justin took it to the level of evil.

There’s actually a credit in the album booklet for “groomer”, on an album called “Man of the Woods”.

You’re fooling no-one Justin! :lol2:

For whatever reason I don't connect with his music anymore. I didn't care for the previous album either. It's all perfectly listenable but all so kinda sounding the same and dull.
I do appreciate the fact that he puts a lot of effort in the videos and the whole pop thing. He is the only well packaged male product out there.
