    Yes, it's about Meet The Flockers by YG.

    !https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC6J_EQ9BhU

    I'm Asian... not Asian American but I lived in the US for 4 years for college. The song doesn't offend me and it isn't really anti-Asian. Its true what he said that many Asians don't trust the banks and end up hoarding their cash under the mattress or whatever. He's speakin some facts and it's art. Now does his content in the track encourage robbers to target Asian households, maybe. but thats a whole different thing. But damn just heard this song again for the first time in years, s*** is super hard & this album was YG's artistic peak (& commercial peak).

    Lastly, this song came out in 2014. He might not think this way anymore. Isn't YG's daughter half Asian??

    Calling an insignificant song by a mediocre artist "history" is embarrassing

    History is full of embarassing moments, that's how we learn from it

    You might got a pistol but this stick is way bigger
    I call it KKK 'cause my choppa hate niggas

    Yo I hope you guys aren’t that desensitized to anti black lyrics that bars like this are sub-consciously glossed over.

    As a black man, I can’t listen to that song because of the hook lol. It’s the text book definition of anti-black.

    I can understand how middle America would keep nodding their heads to it but nah lol

    I hope you're trolling.
    And even if you are it's not funny.

    You need to learn what a simile is lmao.
    Which is why nobody (except you) would listen to these lyrics and think they were anti black.

    If you a black man, and this is anti black to you then Idk how you make it through listening to all this street rap where they talk about killing niggas, robbing niggas, f***ing other niggas b****es ,etc

  • yea anti-Asian hate is real

    no this song should not be taken down

    not saying they should remove the song I’m just saying It’s disrespectful to say “asians are doing the most to be oppressed”

    i don't agree with that at all

    Silver lining to this stupid news story

  • should cancel DJ mustard to for misappropriating how many summers he wood have left

  • Himothee

    But by your argument this song doesn't break TOS since they make an exception for videos that are artistic, which this song falls under.

    Yeah, that's why there's not a simple solution but hopefully the youtube team reviews it and releases a statement. If it stays we can just not support it, if it goes there's other places like Spotify for people who like to listen. It's up to the platform, no one is obligated to host someone's art they don't support

  • soft

    Asians are doing the most to seem opposed, there’s a million songs about robbing niggas and Hispanic plugs

    yeah, Asians are tripping. income, education, life expectancy they are s***ting on white people and now Asians wanna act oppressed ahaha

    Is it wrong to say we should see music how we see movies?

    Like we can watch a great movie that has racism in it, but we know the director is just telling a story

    Reminds me of back when some people were blaming irl violence on Tarantino cos of his movies

    But i also acknowledge that music is a lot more personal and accessible than movies so idk

  • the amount of people itt who havent heard this song before is the most shocking part

    this is even more offensive because of the performative aspect
    patti smith was very happy to cruise by looking at destroyed neighbours because the graffiti was cool or something made a statement

    Explain how censoring this song on Youtube/Spotify will stop anti asian hate. Or do anything at all other than set an authoritarian standard for creatives

  • Mar 31, 2021

    they're regressing in policy

    i remember like 4 years ago a lady made an anti-asian diss song n they took it down immediately
