But when they got them naked C***Statues from history it’s called art and beautiful

I didn't watch until then lmao

I stopped at "a lil girl could see this..."
Up until that point I thought he was right
The art in and of itself isn't a problem especially not for an album cover

Idgaf who made it either, u really said "BlAck WoMaN mAde it" like that matters, do u think I'm stupid???

it's the part where they put it on busses that circulate during the day that's weird asl imo

They could have covered it up, put some cute bikinis on or sum

Censoring album covers is standard practice for retail stores etc

Imagine having to deal with rallies like this frequently in your city

That man does not care about black women

Expensive Pain is a coded Adrenochrome reference!!!!!

He saying the Vaccine is somehow connected to mason floors on AOTY Expensive Pain cover?

This guy is too far gone.

Q predicted this

Those sometimes get covered up too (when an arab prince came to France, the president of France had those ancient statues covered up to not offend him)

Just say u don't know Wtf ur talking bout lmao

He bout as mad as the KTT users in the other thread about the bus.

Yea I do think it matters and no, idk u so I can’t say I think you’re stupid.

If it’s gets thru advert dptmt for the bus line then I don’t really care. It’s a dot for a vagina. Not that deep. A lot of nudity censorship for art(say the mbdtf cover) seems more puritanical than useful since we can infer what’s going on anyway. If they weren’t naked people would still come with the energy that they came with for women vended over and shaking their asses in music videos because it’s “degrading”.

He didn’t get hype about the nipples on the bus either and their also just dots, it’s just nipples. But they are also a censored body part for women in america. Sure kids are naive but their not dumb. If anything the advert side of this bus company seems like the last stop for this to get checked n im sure kids are seeing the album cover elsewhere anyway tbh.

If these people in the painting were white they wouldn’t let them be represented that way on a public transit bus.

Wake the f*** up nigga

WOAT cover from a mid artist. Kinda understand his point, bad thing to have on a public bus.

It's a drawing he didn't plaster actual pictures of naked women on a bus. I hate to turn this into a race thing but like another user said we got sculptures of breasts, d***s, ass and whatever by all those ancient European artists and people call that high art. It's weird a drawing by a black woman is where we want to draw the line. We can never know for sure but I just got a feeling if the artist was white we wouldn't even be having this discussion

You mean this?

Cus that’s international relations trying to not offend some super religious conservative person. Ultimately an outlier of an instance when compared to advertising. I think the poster was saying generally people can go and see nude antiquities and they are not censored, whether it’s in a philly museum (the philly museum of art, Barnes foundation, Rodin museum, etc), or walking around some plaza in rome

Lmao no kids are seeing that album cover cuz no one gives a f*** about this album like that tbh

This is gonna come down to opinions/beliefs, ur not right but not wrong either

I already know what type of time ur on when u put "degrading" in citation marks

No a black woman making this art doesn't mean s*** cuz one person doesn't speak for the entire group nor is she responsible for it being on busses (I assume)

she did her job which was make an album cover for a rapper that's it (which I said is not the issue I don't except decency from rap albums lmao this ain't the 80s)

thank you for this lmaooo

F***as in the street tellin me, mfs in the barbershop talkin bout,
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT BLACK WOMEN?

If i catch ANOTHA MOTHA F***A talkin sweet about MEEK MILL, ima beat they ass!

Wild bus ngl

man too real

meek mill finally getting some viral promo. too bad its in the 2nd week

He’s right. They are shoving s***in our face 24/7. (keeping us all in lower vibration/our lower nature)it’s constantly in our subconscious.

we have higher consciousness for a reason. S***isn’t bad. Our anatomy isn’t evil. But we are so much more than that. And that’s the reason the p***o music these labels are forcing women to do isn’t good either.

And for a city bus, that’s foul.
Kanye will save the industry with his positivity though. And Kendrick.

Fair fair, and idk what to u necessarily implied by them being in quotes, I’m trying to emphasis the super conservative group of black people that are obsessed with respectability within imagery, but I’m not trying to dismiss the issues of sexism or issues of the male gaze when it comes to that same imagery, just to clarify. I could have worded it better. But yes I’m not trying to be right or wrong.

He’s concerned about kids but because of qanon n satan, we’re concerned about imagery of kids because of cultural norms of not sexualizing imagery for kids to see (which is religious if we break it down to the root but that’s not really the point). So that’s how I was seeing it

Yeah that story probably it
I misremembered details cuz I heard about it years ago
Point is even those precious statues had to dress up for the right audience (I'm not saying that's right but it's not uncommon for art to be censored for a different audience)

that being said, ancient statues aren't viewed as video vixens today for number of reasons

First of all they have artistic merit put in by the artist : carving out marble or a painting that intricate deserves credit

secondly the aesthetic isn't calling back to p***ography (what us moderns consider p***ography, the images we directly associate with it, in ancient times those statues probably were considered p*** but to us they aren't anymore, this might happen to the video vixen style of sexual expression but it'll take time, like decades of centuries)

I'm not saying it's right but voilà

What type of disingenuous or disconnected from reality clown do u have to be to even bring up those statues

The conversation around them changed over the course of centuries, we're not at that level with rump shaking women for rappers art.... Yet

the only reason ive seen that cover is because of him now
