    The reason the boondocks has one of the best portrayals of hip hop is because it was written by black people for black people and the other portrayals of hip hop are written from a non personal experience with black culture so they see it as more of an aesthetic or a performance rather than a nuanced experience. It also touches on the theory of afropessimism where non-black people see blackness and black people as props that can used for entertainment without regard to how it effects the people they're taking from; which is why hip hop is so commonly used for a punchline in Entertainment.

    • @PoliticalAbstract
      @PoliticalAbstract 3 года назад +114

      Even though I'm not a fan of the Boondocks, I agree with this whole post. You can always tell when black people are involved in the writing when portraying black people in the media. Non black folks use hip hop as a mockery because it isn't seen as "real" music.

    Early 2000s cartoons really had a lot of hip hop and urban influence given that gangster and bling rap was really poppin. It really felt a lot like white men pandering the same way Rocket Power radiated that “X-TREME MILLENNIUM” energy of the 90s or the “LOL RANDOM XD” of the ‘10s. So the fact that so many featured hip hop and urban elements in the day yet still had minimal black casts and made rap itself seem scary and intimidating is honestly infuriating.

    Just letting you know about a small fact about Static Shock.
    The reason the original comic, along with the Milestone Comics line, a black independent comic book company, failed is because there was a lot of corporate meddling behind the scenes of the cartoon, as merchandising was constantly pushed back, and that comic stores in the 90's and early 00's refused to sell black comic books because they believed black comics and stories wouldn't sell and it got worse when Static Shock's creator Dwayne McDuffie passed away just months before Static was supposed to get his reboot with DC, despite Milestone being sought by DC for Static alone.
    As of December of 2020, Milestone Comics has finished the lawsuit against DC for shelving the many IPs, including Static Shock, Icon & Rocket, Hardware, and many others. Static is supposed to happen sometime this year, while others are to follow.

    You are indisputably in the top three most thoughtful content creators I follow. I really appreciate the effort you put into every video. It's obvious you only cover things about which you're passionate, which really separates you from the regurgitated content of the most "popular" creators. Like, I've literally never cared about Peanuts. But I care about your take on Peanuts haha. Just, thanks for all of it, and I hope you know you're insanely good at what you do.

    Cartoons have a long way to go in terms of critiquing and paying respect towards hip hop culture. We need more people within the culture to help those that want to pay respect to it and understand the art form. The more animators keep trying to tell these stories the better it will get. With every fail there’s an Teen Titans Go. It’s gonna get better before it gets worse.

    The regular show and animaniacs episodes were very similar but carried different messages.
    The animaniacs one said that it’s cool to rap/express yourself as long as you don’t disrespect others, which is why Yakko and the rapper compromise at the end (pretty rare conclusion for animaniacs).
    The regular show one pretty much labeled rap “poetry but with insults”, and that insulting nature is why the rappers needed to “put down” via poetry and ends with them being defeated instead of making up with the protags like the animaniacs.

    I believe the Boondocks is the only show that I can think of that has this understanding of hip hop. While it does mock the outlandish culture, its fine in a way that respects the art form as a whole. The atmosphere, the music and the tone all feel authentically hip hop.
    While I agree that hey Arnold and Class of 3000 aren't hip hop per se, they do have a appreciation for jazz blues and other forms of music that hip hop is inspired from. Love the videos, keep up the good work.

    Whilst I get your point about Yakko also acting mean, that's kinda just how Animaniacs episodes play out. The Warners encounter an "special friend" (a jerk), then they proceed to annoy them by giving them a taste of their own medicine until said "special friend" gives up. I still like the segment because the ending is pretty rare for Animaniacs, usually the Warners win by making their opponent go crazy but here they come to an understanding. That and the rap battle was fun.

    I really appreciate even just a basic run down of music as it relates to animation from any perspective. As a person with amusia (often referred to as "tone deaf" and is a condition where music just isn't... music, it's just a bunch of noise mostly, and can apply to loss of or no perception of rhythm, melody, or just the inability to process it emotionally- I personally don't process it emotionally) I can't even begin to comprehend how music effects people so deeply, but I understand animation emotionally. When anyone breaks down a sound track, or goes over why a certain style of music might have been picked for certain animation, it helps me put things together better.
