Hey Finn, I've always been a huge fan, but your research on this could've been better. Ozzy does write all his own music, and HE wrote the song as an ode to his friend Bon Scott of AC/DC who died after getting too wasted and choking on his own vomit in his car a few years prior.

Love you Finn but falsely accusing people of hating Cardi B due to her color is very sad to see. The race card is the laziest card in the book and is intellectually dishonest (typically something you’d see from some they/them green-haired nut job in Brooklyn). Rihanna and Beyoncé are both black and are beloved. People hate Cardi B because her music sucks and she admitted to committing crimes in the past when she was an exotic dancer.

About Cardi B I don’t understand why the discourse falls always in racism or “black woman successful, not good”. It’s not that. Here’s the thing: - BMTH - Avalanche: song about depression and how to cope with it -> Video is restricted because it’s offensive and inappropriate (now the restriction is gone, but few years ago there’s) - Cardi B - WAP: we just see now what the song talks about and how the video is made -> no restrictions.

The outcry from metalheads for WAP was the same as metalhead outcry over Jason Aldean. Like “WAP” is a horribly written song and the only reason anyone defended it was because Ben Shapiro was mad at it. A LOT of real musicians commented on the lack of quality for the song and lyrics. “The little dangly thing in the back of my throat” is just looking for syllables. It may actually be the lowest amount of effort anyone has put forward to get a gold record. And then you combine it with her already being known as a terrible, you’re going to get backlash from your typical musician. Like this song was so bad, it desensitized nearly everyone enough to make a song about Applebee’s become a hit on Billboard.

I think your wayyy off on the cari b song... im not a metalhead and im a fan of music from all colours and sexes, but cardi b just doesnt do it for a lot of people. She has a criminal past and she knows full well that many young impressionable girls listen to her. Imagine having a daughter and she starts singing the lyrics to WAP. Even the censored lyrics are innapropreate. Yeah bands i like have lots of bad lyrics such as "fuck a dog" by blink, but those are niche songs that where often hidden as secret tracks on explicit versions of CDs. WAP was put straight into the charts for all to hear.

The problem with the “Woman of Color” argument is that it’s an invincible one that can’t be challenged without the challenging party coming across as bigoted, due to everything being reduced to “you’re racist if you disagree.” It ignores all valid criticisms and pigeon holes the opposing view. This leads to more division, which really isn’t the goal here, is it? If you like songs like WAP and the content thereof, you should be able to enjoy it and also understand the perceived consequences of this messaging reaching the mainstream, where young kids quickly gain access. What’s also interesting is how you strawman criticisms about Cardi B to be about race, as if criticisms about hedonistic, vulgar, lazily-written lyrics or other valid criticisms are exclusive to black creators and anything that challenges it is sexist and racist. I’m sure there are criticisms from the metal community that are racist and sexist, but let’s not imply that there aren’t valid examples. Women of color are not invincible to criticism. You also list two other bands afterwards as if they contradict bigoted metal fans criticisms or have anything to do with your previous statement about cardi b being black.

One thing I’ll say about the cardi b song is really just this. It was heralded as some kind of female empowerment song and was celebrated enough it reached the highest levels of the system. It allowed her to go to the White House and speak with the president. 20-30 years ago that would have been unheard of. I think that’s where you get some people who are right wing adjacent agitated with it.

Tarantino doesn’t say the n word a single time in Django Unchained but go off I guess

no, it still is weird, if cardi b can write uncomfortable sexual lyrics, why can't the other guy write uncomfortable sexual lyrics? are we pretending that the concept of blurred lines doesnt exist? its not like he is singing "youre gonna take it if you like it or not"

Blurred Lines came off to me as playfully teasing the good girl or quiet girl because they're actually a freak and they're playing hard to get. The way some people were outraged at this song at the time you would think it was just overtly advocating for assault. Meanwhile around that time you had a hit song by Zara Larsson called Ain't My Fault that if a guy had done it, would have rightfully been called out for how rapey the lyrics sounded

Not one dimensional and well balanced.

Legit met a few parents that flipped out over the Grammys performance of that song. No different than parents tripping at any other point in time.

I don't think I'd ever actually heard "WAP" until I saw this video. I work in a kitchen so I'm forced to listen to terrible garbage on a daily basis, and I've heard a lot. Somehow, despite all the hoopla, I escaped this one. Okay, I'm going to posit this theory, not as a metalhead (which I am not) but as ... just a person. A conservative. First of all, I understand where Finn is coming from about not being offended by outrageous art (in Cardi B's case, that's definitely with quote marks), but I see a couple of subtle distinctions he has failed to make vis-a-vis objections to it. For one thing, Benny, and conservative voices like his, are not offended in the way Finn imagines they are. Ben Shapiro is clearly making fun of Cardi B (and more recently, Sexyy Red) and with every right. These people deserve to be made fun of. It's not like Ben Shapiro has never heard a four-letter word and is now scandalized. Part of the frustration that people (mainly on the right) have with trashbags like Cardi B is the tedium factor. Like, ugh, didn't we go through all of this thirty long years ago with Madonna? Is Pennywise coming back again? Conservatives are, by nature, more romantic and idealistic than liberals. What revolts us is not the "shock" of the latest money-grabbing hussy grinding in front of a camera. I'm old enough to remember Lil Kim and Missy Elliot and it has been the same pathetic story over and over with these women. I am actually more scandalized, more truly offended, that someone such as Finn would think commonplace crap would actually cause my cheeks to crimson! What bothers us on the right (I know nothing of what gets metalheads going) is the reduction of human desire to the material to the exclusion of the spiritual. The left has been waging a war against the spiritual aspect of man since at least Malthus and Kant and Mill and Cardi B is exactly what the adults in the room expected would happen. The other thing that Finn misses is that engaging in sinful behavior does not deprive the participant of an objective view of reality or a voice with which to express it. Imagine a career bank robber goes on TV and says, "I hope they catch the bastard. Stealing people's money is just wrong!" Well, is he a hypocrite? Yes. But is what he is saying less true because he is? This a analogous to Finn's portrayal of the objectors to Cardi B. Are they watching porn? Maybe. Does that mean it's not bad to watch porn, and arguably MUCH WORSE to have it broadcast where impressionable kids can access it? Are we better off, as individuals and as a society, by raising our lowest impulses to the standard, or are we better off raising a standard higher than our lowest impulses and being glad for it even as we fail?

I don’t think race has anything to do with it… i feel like this race baiting sh!t has been going so hard people just think everything is racial. Metal heads aren’t as offended by “infant annihilator” and bands like that because they’re obscure and you have to see them out to find them. Cardi B is a major pop artist and we all know pop music is marketed to young people and she speaks pretty nasty/freaky and people don’t want their children to be victims of hyper sexuality.

For some reason, people have this "bad music = bad person" mentality. Art isn't always autobiograhical. We don't know these people. What we see in the media and on the internet isn't always true, it's usually cherry-picked, biased information and sometimes it's just based on a persona. They could make music you hate or find offensive but for all you know, in real life they could be kind, loving, moral, good parents, great friends, etc.. If anyone should know this, it should be metal fans.

Here's the thing... about Cardi B that gets deflected by the white knight crew, no offense: she's probably the most example of how porn has seeped into every form of media and the zeitgeist in general. It is now infinitely more accessible to everyone, including children. I won't say "minors" because most of us became exposed to it around puberty. To say the parents weren't good parents if they weren't concerned about Suic*de Solution in the same breath as laughing at the fact that this song is targeting young girls, by your own admittance, is absolutely insane to me. And no, I don't listen to Infant Annihilator or Cannibal Corpse either. Nor do I think porn being made so socially acceptable is a good thing. It's a major problem in western society and it really shows when you look at the rise of mental illness, toxic romantic relationships, and divorce (and the family unit in our country in general). Music like Cardi B put the nail in the coffin. Now pre pubescent children walk around singing and rapping about scenes you'd find in a porno. Good job.

2:25 I actually totally agree.

Re Ozzy Osbourne, "back in those days" we just didn't have conversations about mental health. Its so important to talk about.

Killin’ the game as always Finn 🙏

I had friends who were upset about WAP, and I had to remind them that they used to listen to 2 live crew and nwa back in the day.

cardi b take is way too reductive. yeah, plenty of metal bands have not great lyrics, but how many of them are getting millions and millions of streams and being exposed to your 8 year old kids? I think the issue with WAP is how inescapable it was (thanks in part to the reaction ofc). I think when mainstream stars have super vulgar lyrics, it's different than your cannibal corpses and slipknots. And I'm old enough to remember when Eminem had some pretty vulgar shit in his songs when he was a superstar and he was mercilessly blasted for it by the media and outraged parents. strongly disagree that race is a factor here.

I've never heard that GNR song but frankly I'd be flabbergasted if I found out that Axl Rose ISN'T racist.

Speaking as a headbanger of a half-century, in MY day the lyrical fellatrix who most irrationally angered me was Ms. Sheena Easton. Cardi B has merely inherited this lofty mantle...

I suggest listening to Brojob’s cover of WAP

Good video

You have a common sensical approach to all of this. It's undeniably a parent's responsibility to handle these situations with intelligence. Blaming the artist is lazy parenting.

I was at in n out the other day and some guy dressed nice had Alex Jones on full blast.

So wild how music is blamed for societal problems. Even in the 90s, people were coming after Marilyn Manson with pitchforks, wanting to blame him for Columbine.

I just heard WAP for the first time because I was somehow not aware. I do not think that is something new. Rap was always sexualized, just listen to some 00's Southern Rap or Missy Elliot. I am surprised that people would get upset in 202X about more or less soft stuff. Speaks for their marketing to make a scandal out of something so mediocre...

Cool story Finn; Infant Annihilator isn't on the radio for our children to listen to. My kid isn't listening to my music either. What I listen to isn't broadcasted freely for my child to be influenced by. It has fuck all to do with her being a woman of color. That is such a cop out. Yeah, Twitter has unrestricted porn all over too. That is also wrong, and its existence doesn't make media like hers any more acceptable. You really pick and choose when you want to virtue signal.

The man has no logic in his arguments tbh. He will hold high standards for rock bands like Brand New and As I Lay Dying, but no standards for POC and rappers

You may be correct about Suicide Solution being about Ozzy. But I've heard Ozzy say in an interview that he wrote it about Bon Scott who died as a result of drinking and aspirating his own vomit while passed out drunk.

I got the answer as to why NWA isn't and won't be canceled for their lyrics. Because stuff like Bitch Is A Bitch isn't a mainstream song. The general person knows NWA because of Fuck The Police, Express Yourself(First song I heard of theirs, Thanks GTA SA) and Straight Outta Compton and even maybe Gangsta Gangsta, Dope Man and Chin Check. Only the engaged fan of NWA, rap or music in general will find those songs. Hell I didn't know about Bitch Is A Bitch until the NWA movie because I just wasn't the invested into NWA other then the core hits. So those songs are 100% just flying under the radar even with millions of plays on Spotify.

Finn virtue signaling again *shakes head*. I never bothered to listen to WAP when it came out. From what I've seen of the video and lyrics- it is rather porny; I wouldn't want kids to see it (same with Steel Panther if we want a metal example)! If you really want to go after a song like WAP you need to have a strong conception of sexual morality and be able to be consistent about it, which is tough to do given how sexualized EVERY part of pop culture is. Let's just say it: all sex outside of marriage is immoral and fornication/homo stuff should not be promoted in public (the reasoning can be found in Catholic Social Teaching, Natural Law Theory, the Bible, etc. As Plato says in the Republic "we must silence the lying poets" who make sex outside of marriage seem epic, fun, and harmless. Whatever, all I'm saying is that it is worth digging deep on this issue instead of Finn using ad hominems of "the only people against sexualized media are racists, incels, and hypocritical porn watchers". Cos a big case could be made that ADULTS, who care about the long term success of society, are the ones are the people against sexual degeneracy because there are objective reasons why promoting sex outside of marriage leads to bad outcomes (destruction of the family, morally compromising young people, leading people to a hedonistic/atheistic life instead of virtue/righteousness, etc.). Man, Kanye is GOATED. Famous is a pretty tight song; but it's a bit of a stretch to say that he made Taylor famous; they had separate audiences. One in a Million is great. Axel doesn't get the whole picture, but it is a good anthem for White people who want to be left alone; we didn't ask for Black crime, mass non-White immigration, etc. and shouldn't have to bow down to the radical social changes being made without our consent and support. Funny how Justin Timberlake one-upped Thicke with one of his own music videos (one of those 20/20 Experience songs); both videos use nudity and porny lyrics, but JT was able to come off as artistic whereas Thicke looked trashy (imo).

Not everyone believes in your god

I would assume that some of the justified frustration might come from the mass popularity of Cardi B, and the messages that, for example, a young 8 to 12-year-old daughter (or son) might be consistently around. And I guess the generational difference of when we were young, the messages we were getting from mainstream music, to now. I guess you could say that’s projection of frustration from an overall Perspective of the Internet and what kids have available. I’m not a parent yet, so I can’t really talk, and I guess that’s just the world today, as opposed to pre-dial up and maybe being able to afford TV to watch MTV. Perhaps?

Literally, just after I commented this year, said the same thing, Tis the age of the Internet

Back in old '13, Robin fuckin Thicke was such a crucial influence in MY life that I heard "Blurred Lines" ONE TIME, & immediately went all rape-o fer like 2 weeks. So I can attest to the negative influence Thicke had on young men! 🦃😬🦃

That Marvin Gay lawsuit was definitely conerning. You could make a better argument, I think, for something like "Born This Way" vs. "Express Yourself" and many others...but even then, "vibe stealing" or whatever has been around forever.

Finn and Trap Lore Ross run the music KZread sphere.

The Ozzy song was canceled not because of the lyrics alone, it was the album version that had an effect that sounded like "Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, Shoot shoot"

Yes! WAP is funny. Great song. Donnell Rawlings did a great comic bit about it.

Thank you for showing footage of Jake E Lee. God did he get the short end of the straw.

Don't agree with the insinuation of why Quinton Terrintino puts that word in his movies, but most of your other points werw good. Don't understand the metal heads against Cardi B thing though. Haven't met any metal heads that could give two shits about it, to be honest. But I dont hang out with really stupid or ignorant people so.. there's that.

W.A.S.P. "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)" from old '85-- THAT was the record which consternated MY Momma. W.A.S.P., incidentally, stood for "We Are Sexual Perverts". I tend to be surprised, but fer such a gimmicky act, W.A.S.P. has musically held up a lot better than, say, Twisted Sister, or a LOT of their other contemporaries...🦃🤘🦃

Have you heard Cardi b be Bacardi talk, nails on a chalk board.
