Hip Hop And Streaming | Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj | Netflix

[@Osvaldomejia]

I have to admit, before knowing Hasan's work, I thought he was just having momentum and would fade away in no time, but I see the man does his homework, he's freaking brilliant and definitely a hard worker. His Netflix show "Homecoming King" is one of the most compelling stand-ups I have ever seen. As an immigrant, his speech (and eye contact) spoke to my soul. Sky is the limit Hasan, keep up the amazing work. I am undeniably one of your biggest fans.

[@markprater1]

After I saw 'Homecoming King' I turned my son (he's 28) on to it. He wasn't really feeling it then, but I know he'll catch up...

[@yousefgill]

asdf sometimes, you have to get your homework from different sources. When the commenter says that he does his homework, he means that he likes the way that his jokes fall in well with the given topics with the context still being correct. Like his joke on med school in the Caribbean. In this joke, there is a combination of the struggle of a problem that occurs quite often when a student wants to go to med school because of the pressure from his parents about the future, but the student cannot go to a prestigious med school in the USA so he goes to the Caribbean med school as they require less stats from this student. This whole situation is a very relatable struggle that lines up well with the situation he setup from the topic he was supposed to talk about. You need to have actual intellect that goes beyond listening to just what he said, just looking for a funny group words to laugh at, what you need to understand some of his jokes is the ability to actually imagine and -listen- to what he is -referring to-

Everything that is discussed in hip hop today is a representation of resistance against the system. It's just not like you remember it my guy.

[@jaskiratkhehra9487]

I don’t believe this to be true as hip-hop has become such a big genre. The music scene is saturated with “meaningless music” that people don’t try to find American hip-hop with meaning. There are still people underground and in the mainstream that are political and challenging the government but everyone just like to focus on the lowest part which is Pump and “mumble rap”

[@ayjaybay93]

John Banks everything? Lol no way not everything. There’s plenty of songs that are dumb and fun and that’s perfectly fine. Hip hop doesn’t have to justify its existence as a genre by claiming to always have a message. If other genres can have simple fun songs, hip hop shouldn’t be treated any differently (yet it is).

Hi, I'm from Spain and I have some things to say about "article 578" (which is the Article 578 of the Spanish Penal Code, the second most important law behind the Constitution), together with another law (Ley de Seguridad Ciudadana -Citizen Security Act) known locally as the "ley mordaza" ("Gagging Act"), both approved in 2015 under the conservative Government of Mariano Rajoy (who is famous for his involuntary humour, I don't know if there is any English compilation of his quotes, but he has a lot of funny quotes). Basically: -Any kind of criminal act going against the Government or any institution is terrorism. (LSC) -Pasively or actively resisting an order from a member of the security forces (police or Civil Guard) is an "attack on authority" (article 550 SPC). -Unauthorised public protests are "public disorders" and taking part of them in a big crowd or with the face covered raises the penalty up to 6 years of prision (article 557 SPC). -In adition, calling for protests or "reinforcing the decision of commiting public disorders" is also punishable (Article 559) Also, there is a circular argument between the articles 571 SPC (which declares "terrorist organisation" any group of people who are wanting to commit a crime of terrorism) and the article 573, which says that any public disorder will be terrorism "if commited by a terrorist organisation").

[@jijogorgeraj]

It's true. Majority of the Thai population came to know that there is an election only when the Opposition party to the Army's party was rejected right to stand in elections because one of their candidates was the current King's exiled sister. Most of the people don't know about reforms and Thai media doesn't speak about the opposition parties. People are being offered money to vote for the Army's party. Very few, especially urban population knows about politics there.

The reason I love Hasan, he always speaks for democracy and human rights. As an immigrant that's the most important thing I've learned being in the USA ....Good Job Brother.

[@starrysora6443]

This episode reminds me of a show on netflix called Carole and Tuesday. It's set in the future and is about these two girls who live on Mars and strive to be musicians, but Mars is undergoing an immigration crisis. It really emphasized the influence of music on politics by the end.

@@muttananba5071 she's been dating nothing but rappers before pete davidson and even her current music has been having some hip hop influence, she's kinda used hip hop for the clout basically, btw she's hooking up with Big Sean again so you know she clout chasing right now

[@SquadDirector]

Think of Miley Cyrus. She co-opted hip hop and when she realized the clout fuse was about to burn out, she went back to her original genre and claimed it was a bad phase.

[@Koujoung]

@H A She's not been 'getting darker', that's her natural complexion. When she was in Victorious they had whitened her skin through products and lighting, and ever since she's been an independent artist she's kept her natural complexion. And how exactly is she co-opting hip hop? She's dated two rappers: Big Sean and Mac Miller, you know there's a bunch of other boys she's dated right? Pete is the most recent but she's dated Ricky Alvarez, a dancer, and Austin Mahone a singer and other actors. So if you date 2 rappers in your lifetime you're co-opting hip hop? Also, her songs do NOT have a primarily hip hop groove. It's just 7 Rings that has a hip hop feel to it, if you listen to the rest of the album it's pure pop with reggae, r&b tones to it. I get that Hassan was saying it as a joke, but you seem to have some vendetta against her.
