—Too $hort, in dialogue with dream hampton in Ebony.
There are many parts of this conversation that almost made me cry, for so many reasons. Ms. Hampton talking about what young girls accept as normal behavior from boys. Too $hort realizing, at 45 years old, that his idea of how to turn a girl on is actually to assault her and that he has never been told any different. Too $hort, 20 years into his career, being honest that he knew the money was in being nasty, not in being honest. Too $hort’s sadness on the version of masculinity he has been sold, and insisting he is not to be forgiven for this, for profiting on women’s pain. It’s all heavy, heavy shit.

In Chicago, even babies know it’s time to percolate. Gymnasiums all over the city of just toddlers footworkin’, up past bedtime.
The band name. The lyrics. They are not kidding. If this was a parody of dark/minimal/etcetera I would love it. It’s not. And for that, I love it even more.
5 second of internet research tells me that this group was from Chicago, which explains the midwestern inflection of the lyrics.

…as he writes in the piece, this all seems like bringing an F-22 to a knife fight.
but, also, hilarious.
