MOHYELDIN: “I don’t know if you saw our last blog, we were talking about the conservative outcry over Beyonce’s upcoming country album, one could joke this whole affair illustrates that the far right actually really hates cultural appropriation. But black people have always been a part of folk and country music. You want to weigh in on that?”
SLOAN: “If White people hated cultural appropriation then they shouldn’t have created music. Because every form of music in America was stolen from black people, rock and roll, jazz, blues, country, pop music. So if you have a problem with cultural appropriation, y’all critique classical music, you could’ve stuck with that. Run a piano [indecipherable]. You see what I’m saying? So it’s like, it only applies to the fact that we don’t like this thing, we can’t steal this thing. Listen, we keep showing up — we keep showing up and we keep doing well. Y’all let us do gymnastics, you saw what happened. Y’all let us do golf, you saw what happened. Now we in tennis. Listen, when we started messing with the Winter Olympics it is over for y’all. I don’t apologize for the inconvenience. Stop letting us do your sports. Calm down. So it’s like of course you want to be upset you’re literally one of the quarterbacks. So it can’t be it’s a conservative outcry. You don’t have nothing else to be mad about. It’s all it is. Because if you want to be upset about something, gun control, you have all the time to fix that, but you want to be mad at Beyonce album, [indecipherable] thing about them. They sound stupid.”
MOHYELDIN: “Let’s let’s talk about your book. I got to say it is super funny. I can see why now having spoken to you for a few minutes, but it’s really real and earnest. And you know, I know you said you were tricked by your man.”
