Starting point is 00:00:03 Now one that Mickey Mouse blackface is this. Honestly, I feel like the Disney version of Blackface has finally been accomplished by the one and only machine gun Kelly. I mean, honestly, would you think it'll be anybody else to come up with an actual acceptable version of Blackface other than the guy who actually competed with Eminem and a rat beef? If you don't believe me, just look it up. It's one of those where M&M thought he sent the kill shot, but MGK is literally bigger than ever before. As his last album, I think it was mainstream sellout.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Make sure to get my facts straight because we don't do fake news over here. Machine MGK, oh, it's just MGK, that's great. His last album, he's put out a lot of albums. Anyways, the last one now I'm talking about, mainstream sellout which came out March 25th 2022 so 95,000 sales first week and of those 95 sales 95,000 sales 47,000 of those sales were pure album sales. Now what does that tell me? The MGK now has cultivated a fan base that is die hard supporters to the point where they are going to look at this Disney five blackface and say
Starting point is 00:01:33 that this is okay. I mean, look at this in real time, IRL picture of MGK. Oh, my fault. Analytic Dreams video on Spotify for video along with audio. So anyways, analytic dreams video on Spotify. So with that being said, look at this Disney-Fide Blackface in real life. That is ridiculous. I mean, at this point, just go through with it you know what i'm saying don't don't halfway do it you know if there's one thing
Starting point is 00:02:09 that all of my mentors have said once in their life is that you never want to halfway do something because what's the point in that like what's the point of doing something if you're not going to give you your all right so for m gk if you're going to try to popularize and capitalize off of the coolness of black, which is something every corporation does. I mean, if you don't believe me, there's a reason why every Spider-Man game, known the man, this is going to be a wild reach and an analogy, but I'm a gamer, so you got to stick with me. Every Spider-Man game, known the man, being the most popular superhero, and they never
Starting point is 00:02:53 ever tried to sell sneakers on Spider-Man until the black Spider-Man came. Now, why is that? Anyways, so with MGK, I think the whole black appeal is trying to add to his cool factor. But it's honestly one of those things where he is renovating and pioneering the way to get away with blackface. Now, that is my case on that. Not going to be the dead horse. So let's get into why he's literally doing this Disney 5 blackface. Apparently, he has a new track out called Don't Let Me Go.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Now, the reason why I'm even reviewing this is because, one, I wanted to get my thoughts off about this ridiculous tattoo right here, which he calls tattoo. I'm just calling it extreme racial appropriation, like race appropriation. I don't even know how it was to claim it or how to call it. So, of course, the lyrics is talking about his relationship with the, his father, his late father, you know, RIP to him, and the substance abuse, mental health issues, a lot of other things as far as, you know, very, very deep subjects. One of them including Megan Fox, which I think I had a picture of her. Yeah, here she is right here.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And then, so I think this is the actual video right here. I'm not going to play the sound, but I will let y'all see it. So I just want you all to know that at the end of day, this don't let me. me go featuring mj k in the new disney five blackface that he has going on is still a testament well not testament but is is uh should not be a distraction from how he can actually rap i think if he wasn't such a talented rapper he would be getting killed for this because that's just straight up ridiculous like you know what's next y'all know what's next i mean he got the body painted black is only It's only a matter of time before he goes through with it.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Like, go through with it. I'm actually trying to see it. So I think that at the end of day, I don't care how this track performs, but I just had to get my sentiments on it. Because if you want to listen to the new release from MGK title, Don't Let Me Go, then, you know, be my guest. But at the end of the day, just remember, you're supporting a guy who is literally doing the PG version of Blackface. So with that being said, click my link to you. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about MGK? And also, what do you think about this black face he has going on? And do you think it's okay to tattoo your whole entire Caucasian body black?
