That's My Jam - Season 1

It looks as if each different movie star in Celebritiesville feels the necessity to weigh in on the Joe Rogan controversy ever since he was referred to as out for all of the racist s*** he’s stated on his podcast. And T-Ache is seemingly no exception.

Throughout a latest sit-down with TMZ, the “Purchase You a Drank” singer stated, “Cancel tradition solely works if there’s motion taken. Let’s consider, he’s been saying all this s*** since earlier than the $100 million. Now he’s bought a vast provide of cash.

“All people knew that s*** was occurring,” he continued. “It wasn’t like he was a small podcaster earlier than all this s***. All this shit was public and all this shit was goin’ on. We shoulda stopped him a very long time in the past. We should always have saved the identical power a very long time in the past. All people must maintain that very same power all of the fuckin’ time, and never simply when somebody get a bunch of cash.”

I used to be with him at first, as a result of I don’t consider “cancel tradition” is a factor just because it’s so uncommon that actual and everlasting motion is ever taken towards these supposedly “canceled,” however he loses me with this notion that simply because Rogan didn’t get referred to as out earlier than he was widespread means he shouldn’t be referred to as in any respect. I imply, folks didn’t learn about it till they knew about it.

T-Ache insists that “everyone knew” it, however everyone didn’t know s***. All people wasn’t at all times Rogan’s viewers—and nonetheless aren’t. Rogan’s reputation solely means there’s loads of unwashed dude-bros on the market who get all their “experience” from the celebrated College of Verify Out My YouTube. 

The purpose is, even when T-Ache isn’t terribly pressed about Rogan, why is he out right here caping for this white man who referred to a Black neighborhood because the Planet of the Apes and being dismissive concerning the difficulty by saying it’s solely occurring as a result of Rogan has cash now?

“They spent $100 million on that man,” T-Ache went on to say. “The one factor they will do to get their a refund is to maintain him on air. It sucks to say, man. The one factor you are able to do is shut down your entire firm as a result of they’ve their priorities of their thoughts. They aren’t nervous about what the f*** we’re saying. If that was the case, they’ll take off all of the s*** we saying about killing one another. We perceive what the message is and we perceive what we wish, however you gotta perceive their aspect of it’s, too, they usually don’t give a f***.”

As soon as once more, T-Ache began out OK, however then he needed to mess it up by evaluating the streaming of rap lyrics to giving a platform to a person who makes use of it to say racist issues about Black folks. Nah, bruh, not on this right here Black Historical past Month.

Talking of BHM, this isn’t the one lukewarm-at-best take T-Ache thought was scorching lately.

In a separate interview with TMZ, the Florida artist stated we should always cease celebrating BHM.

“Cease celebrating,” he stated. “Though we have fun Black Historical past Month, I believe we should always simply have historical past. They overshot it. We don’t need our personal shit, you’re separating us once more. We wish to be a part of historical past and never only one month of it. Like, we wish to be a part of historical past, don’t have fun one month for us. I’d fairly everyone cease celebrating that s*** and simply allow us to be a part of historical past and never simply, ‘y’all receives a commission consideration to on the shortest month of the 12 months.’”

To start with, T-Ache seems to assume white folks gave us BLM and designated it for February—which they didn’t. 

Secondly, positive, in a colorblind America that doesn’t at all times default to whiteness, we may have this “all lives matter” model of historical past, however we don’t dwell in that America. We dwell in an America that’s making an attempt to “cancel” Black historical past into oblivion by falsely calling it crucial race principle—which additionally shouldn’t be “canceled.”

Anyway, T-Ache responded to the backlash by tweeting: “I’ll fortunately be the supplier of a distraction from no matter yall are literally mad at as a result of I do know you’re not truly mad at me. It’s unattainable. You don’t even know me so how may I’ve that a lot energy over your emotions? All of us want a getaway and I’ll be that for those who want it.”

OK, relax, my man, you’re only a negro getting dragged on Twitteryou’re not Autotune Jesus sacrificing your self for our sins.

I imply, I like T-Ache, however typically he’s the in-person model of individuals on social media who don’t actually assume their opinions by earlier than hitting “ship.”
