UPDATE: HE DELETED THE APOLOGY SO I GUESS HE DIDN’T MEAN IT. OH WELL 🤷🏽♂️
This is why F. D. Signifier keeps saying the cookout is closed lmao
😂😂😂
As a white hip hop head, the biggest problem is when people who appreciate the culture don't realise that you can appreciate, even understand the culture, but YOU ARE NOT IN THAT CULTURE.
As far as I'm concerned, you now get your invite at birth and if you didn't get one...
@@millhousemillard2140he never said that, and didn't mean it like that. But why would you know that you clearly don't listen 😂
@millhousemillard2140 The cookout is closed because we were being too friendly and invited way too many people
I didn't like all the assumptions on Kendrick's wife. Canadian people find it easy to talk about someones wife.
💯Facts.. some folks will 86 you about this very thing
How he was talking was crazy as hell 💀
Not all Canadians, just Drake and his minions. Lol!
Hey, I take offense to that! It's Drake and the rest of the OV-Hoes, not Canadians in general! I know some really chill Canadians
He was so out of pocket!
Noticed how Derapy said downfall 37 times for the amount of times whats the dirt fell off😅😅😂😂😂😅
I genuinely think Drake really did say the N-word 37 times in Family Matters for every year he's been alive and shared that tidbit with WTD. It's exactly the sort of thing Drake would think is "clever."
@@alexanderson281I think so too. But to think he could have a WHITE CANADIAN deliver that message was stupid! And actually doing that was “not like us.” Lol!
@@alexanderson281 Honestly I thought the same thing. There was so many things in that video that just absolutely couldn’t have been a thing that WTD thought of. He was receiving narratives straight from Drake or his team.
@@alexanderson281 If true, it's Drake's second biggest self-own of the entire beef (#1 is obviously The Heart Part 6)
@@alexanderson281as Justin Hunt said, it's the whitest thing for Drake to do and feeds into the code switching that Kendrick was pointing out.
Loved Professor Skye's point about it only being a 75% apology.
And the fact What's The Dirt was wearing his new right wing alcohol sponsorship gear. Which you really shouldn't do in an apology video.
The sponsor shirt front and center after pinning a comment saying that he turned adsense off really rubbed me the wrong way. Like good for you that you're not earning money on the video one way, but you still decide to make it a sponsored video another? Super disingenuous and trashy.
@@weirdhousewivesclub Compromised much?
I liked Professor Skye's take as well. And I never would have known about the MAGA alcohol sponsor without him.
Nah, he's doing the Republican switch already💀
the conservative grift is so strong srsly you only need to be a white man to make so much money online its insane
The apology was ssa. Chilling with Monie and Justin Hunte warned him BEFORE he even put it up. He then sent a DM to Justin after other TH-camrs got on him. Then Justin made a video telling him the apology better be as big as the disrespect. And then the apology appears.
He was told, multiple times. He then pinned that anyone saying anything negative is a hater and a Kendrick fan in the video. AND HE HAD THE NERVE to add Justin and Monie to the end to the end of his FM video WITHOUT their permission.
If you can't hear, you must feel.
This.. is important context. I appreciate the comment.
This deserves a pin 📌
@@swiftstrike4044someone link me the video so I can see what I missed and then I may lol
His FAMILY warned him.
Also prior to the apology video he went on stream with someone who told him who exactly Justin was in the space. I think he’s 100% lying about knowing Justin’s credentials prior or watching him for years. I don’t think he’s sorry at all for the issues in Family Matters because he was in Curtiss King’s stream and being dismissive in the chat and only when Curtiss essentially said he seems sorry and that his content was good did WTD out of nowhere started saying let’s get Justin on stream to talk. I feel he see this as a way to blow up and trying to course correct. His apology is nothing more than him belittling what he said and playing oh woe is me. He wants his viewers to say “oh look he’s sad, he’s been through enough so we forgive him”. If he truly knew Justin then he wouldn’t crash out with multiple comments defending what he said and only apologizing days later when it benefited him to do so. If he cared about the culture then he wouldn’t be speculating on if Whitney has postpartum due to captions on IG, looking up Kendrick’s family ancestry for his grandmother’s name, looking up Drake father’s family tree to see if his family were descendants of slaves, say Drakes was spot on with calling Kendrick and woman beater, compliment the Hell’s Angels who has ties to white supremacy, say Whitney likely cheated because Kendrick did, and more. He’s Post Malone, a guy who doesn’t give a damn about the people involved or the culture and see them as objects to grow his platform. Him being warned by Monie beforehand privately to help him out as a peer and calling her a hater is where his true character is revealed. The og comment shows exactly why this apology is lip service
I said in Dirt's comments that he was gonna disappear until the heat died down and that he was gonna apologize while portraying himself as a victim. I wasn't wrong. Dirt wasn't apologizing from a place of sincerity, he's only sorry b/c he said it publicly. He didn't learn shit, which means he's gonna get a big head and make the same mistake again.
He has attacked others before.
Remember how he treated Cliff Beats last time, 3 months ago.
Going so little months between messy situations is wild
@@luckyspurs
I’m a white guy from the south…….. and I’ve learned in my day to just stay in my lane and listen. Because even if you love black people with all your heart and your friends, teamates, classmates, etc are black; you still simply aren’t qualified to tell other black people how to feel about anything. And you’re definitely not qualified to name call like that.
To be honest, I don’t think anyone has the right to tell you how you feel but your therapist.
@@ryderwuest4039 THANK YOU! Some white ppl are always trying to tell US what’s ‘good enough’.. the culture has already said it was unacceptable, but the white apologists wana tell US how to react.. what WE should accept.. if it’s ’good enough’ for Conner and Tanner, it’s DAMN sure good enough for Black ppl.. thank u again for being a white guy from the South (I see what u did here❤️) and getting it
This whole situation was very wild. I watched it unfold in real time. When The Company Man dropped his response, it felt like when Euphoria dropped. 😆 The Company Man absolutely ethered that fella.
Damn now I gotta go watch 😆 LMAO
The Family Matters video makes more sense when you realize that WTD was always at his core a hardcore Drake fan.
Unlike me he never saw the light lol
💀
Exactly
@@mariokarter13 He has BIG owl tattoo on his arm.
He told y’all he was a Drake fan even in his breakdowns of the Kendrick songs. Idk why everybody got the surprise Pikachu face when he dropped that video 😂
So, for context, he actually did DM an apology to TCM after his crash out. However, because of how publicly and loudly disrespectful he was, and because he used a clip of his video in the Family Matters video without permission, the apology was not accepted. This video came after that.
Good context.
I would have let Dirt's rebuttal video slide...until that Carlton Banks comment. As a black guy growing up in white-ass Kentucky, I used to get SOOO many comments just like this from white kids questioning my blackness because I (nor my parents) don't use the n-word and am a minimally eloquent speaker. Those white kids had so much to say about being black...but i bet their Father never sat down with them before getting their drivers licenses warning them about how to behave towards the police so you don't get shot. THIS is the disconnect. Culture isn't just how you talk, how you dress or what words you can and cannot say. It's a lived experience; the good and the bad. One that Dirt never lived.
Big respect for this comment.
I agree we all should study how Company Man misrepresented WTD's position, bad faith framed him as if he's some ignorant white racist in regards to counting ninjas, but I disagree and think WTD has justification to note that n word because of what Kendrick said to Drake in Euphoria, 'We don't wanna hear you say n**** NNNOOO MMMOOORRREEE!!!', which primed WTD to note that word, and in rap battle context Drake's frequent use was to challenge Kendrick's demand of him not to use that word. I say Company Man misrepresented him on this because he hyper focused on WTD giving his take, but misquoted him here because later WTD did say this was in response to Kendrick. Even Company Man falsely conflated WTD's manifesto/vision statement for some goal, that's just disingenuous!
After WTD gave his crash out stream response to Justin Hunte(Company Man) gave his 'euphoria' like response, which is far worse as it misinforms, misrepresents even more, slanders and defames Matt(WTD) here that I distrust Company Man being a credible journalist at this point. For example Company Man claims there was '21 black people' on WTD'S thumbnails but 'zero white people' thumbnails, when 5 seconds earlier we clearly see there's an Eminem thumbnail, 2 thumbnails about Tom Macdonald being some fraud/culture vulture, and 1 Kid Rock being a bad influence, so I guess him misconstruing and cutting that part out was Company Man's choice due to how inconvenient it is to his narrative spin of WTD? In a hostile environment that one slanderous video like Company Mans would trigger a witch hunt over fallacious claims he made about WTD???COME ON!
IMHO what Company Man's disingenuous coverage of WTD was racially motivated. After all Company Man did state he never used the ninja word and abstained for 20 years, so is that because the common motif for abstaining was to recover from addiction of the word, or to avoid the triggers the word caused in Justin Hunte? Therefore he cannot proclaim he was being objective in his coverage of WTD as it misrepresents WTD grossly.

@@danielnelson3136 another copy and paste job
Some bout a Canadian white dude… saying he “can tell” a black man didn’t grow up saying the N word is CRAZY.
I don’t normally comment on TH-cam videos but what’s the dirt is outta pocket.
You right
The audacity is out of this world. Not to jump on a soapbox but I’m not black and would NEVER dream of telling someone whether or not I think they grew up saying a word I can’t even say. Like WHAT is the logic there.
That horrible laugh he did was one of the most revolting things I've had to listen to in a while.
Imagine how he'd be treating everyone if he had been put back in his place.
Then he called him a Carlton for it when there's a whole episode about that very topic
Should have spent a little more time with Jeremy Hecht. He SEEMS to get the culture and how to move with respect.
What’s The Dirt is a whole contradiction. His apology contradicts his Twitter video, tweets, comments in others’ chats, and what others told him prior.
He said he was getting back for the video, but that could’ve been avoided when other creators privately reached out to him prior to the video of what can go wrong if he handles the topic poorly. He ignored them and released as is.
His Twitter video he presented Justin as a nobody who is stupid and a clout chaser. Now he’s trying to retroactively say he knew him all along and respect him. What’s more believable: WTD didn’t know of Justin’s history and saw him as another TH-camr until people got on him after the fact OR he knew all along and just disregarded everything because he was mad?
The difference between how Derapy and WTD would handle criticism (not hate or anything) is different. Derapy wouldn’t make a twitter only video calling him an idiot 15 times, say “oh we can tell you don’t say the n word”, call him Carlton, and continue to crash out out and be dismissive about n multiple platforms then do the most paint by numbers apology only because of the backlash.
Also WTD never address the “we can tell” line here. It’s the most egregious thing he said to Justin. His justifications don’t make sense with his actions. This apology doesn’t seem like a in the moment lapse of judgement, but him thinking he can go after Justin with his fans support not realizing who he just attacked and having to backtrack to keep his “motion”. This isn’t the first time he acted this way because he did the same with Cliff Beats. WTD gets a little popularity and he doesn’t know how to act. Now you have Drake messaging Ak to watch his video and reach out is where is see WTD spiraling to a propaganda machine if he doesn’t course correct
To me it’s disturbing that WTD seems to think that black American culture is not complex and is totally reflected in hip hop. That seems to give him the license to say some of the things that he said.
Heck, I’m a black American from the Midwest but learned some things about black American west coast culture from Kendrick.
I was just talking to my dad about this yesterday 😂 we're from the Midwest too, but black people from the west , east and south have different cultures inside of black culture as a whole we all connect through things like hip-hop for example and look at how many subgenres of hip hop there is the west has G funk , the Midwest has drill, the east has boom bap and the south has trap etc.
Same here! Southern Midwest born and raised, but despite my family tree branching out to kinda all over the place, Kendrick was one of the first music artists to pull back the curtain for me on the various experiences of black culture in the US different from mine. There were similarities and differences that really connected the dots for me. I had no clue about hood politics and gang culture since my parents wanted to protect me from those topics even with how criminally involved and dysfunctional some relatives from both sides of the family had been and still are. And our neighborhood wasn't the safest either, but they just made sure I knew what streets to avoid when walking home from school.
I also hadn't thought of the hip-hop genre as a sport before discovering Kdot's music bc I was raised more on RnB, soul, funk, Motown, and gospel. The adult role models in my life (not my parents though) talked negatively about hip-hop and rap specifically, so any music I heard from those genres went through very strict filters until I had control over my own CD player and mp3 player as a tween. It was so eye-opening exploring black music and culture more specific to other US regions and diversifying my scope of what the culture consisted of. And there's plenty I still don't and can't know for one reason or another. Even though I'm black, pretending as though I do know the culture of places I've never lived in would be like trying to walk with my shoes untied and on the wrong feet. WTD's hubris about how tapped into the culture he thought himself to be (even as a Canadian, like damn you a special kind of audacious huh) simply by being a fan is a testament to why black music genres were so heavily gatekept. He's also a great example of just how blatantly disrespectful outsiders can be while wading through basically a kiddie pool of black culture. Like bro you're not even from here, sit down!
The FM Breakdown was bizarre. From counting the number of N words used, pocket watching Kendrick's charity work, saying he isn't affiliated after we saw the pop out, and a bunch of other stuff... plus his crashout on TCM and the stuff with Chilling With Monie this was a crazy turn around
Like the crazy thing is the video had NO reason to be 2 hours long on that song bro
imagine being a white guy from some Canadian suburb or something, and confidently telling the world Kendrick Lamar is not really like that, when Kendrick himself has been since the start of his career alluding to actual murders he might have committed as a teenager.... yeah, idk if thats a narrative device, but i would not speak so confidently on whether Kendrick ever gangbanged or not
There were a few white content creators that literally said “it’s not my place to speak on the n word or slavery etc”, but WTD went out of his way to copy the lyrics, SEARCH for the word, keep a tally and interpret what the number meant. Why is he so concerned with how many times a half black man uses the word??? He could’ve said (and I still would’ve given a minor side eye) “Drake opened the song with the word as defiance and rebuttal, Kendrick can’t take that word away from him” and left it at that. Of course WE get why Kendrick said what he said, we’ve all seen the “hard -er” clip by now 😂😂
@@ΤΟΣΠΟΥΔΑΙΟrue that s what i am saying like Drake doesn t do music that complex or a song that would rekkiire that much long
@@ΤΟΣΠΟΥΔΑΙΟlike for real. I watched the whole video and the only new info I got on it was that drake is close to the hell’s angels biker group or whatever it is.
One part that really miffed me about What’s the Dirts’ apology video is how he claims that he was a huge fan of Justin for years growing up while listening to hip hop music, but in the rant he uploaded to Twitter, he talks about Justin as if he was some random nobody youtuber. He was like “hey, don’t give this guy any attention, he’s a disgusting snake,” and uses a bunch of vague terms that implies that he’s never heard of him in his life.
Maybe it was just him misspeaking due to anger or whatever, but I don’t know. I feel like if someone that I had supposedly respected for years started criticizing me, even if I was really angry, I’d still acknowledge his status/impact on me and treat him with more respect. Something tells me he miiiight have lied😂
Plus... he didn't even say his name in his initial rant too... that showed all I needed to hear as far as respect goes.. If you are going to crash at least have enough respect to call 'em out by name. Not just insult hurl
I doubt he respected, watched or liked Justin sadly. But he knew Justin's approval was a brilliant way to gain acceptance and be welcomed by people that would usually be extremely suspicious of him. A white guy setting up a channel that makes money from covering famous black people having arguments and falling out with each other.
The second he got far right Nelk Boys money and thought he was Akademiks, he started kicking and belittling people, assuming he was too far above them for anyone to do anything.
WTD definitely lying when he claims he's a fan. he thought he was putting some random nobody TH-camr in his place because he gets so many views. he didnt think Justin was a known OG in his lane
but imagine if he was actually a fan of Justin -- that means that because he woke up with a hissy fit, he was comfortable racially attacking Justin, calling him stupid and ignorant and a snake, laughing about "knowing" he didnt use the n-word growing up, etc. he felt okay doing that to someone who inspired him? yiiikes
It can be a characteristic of a personality disorder…sometimes the person can struggle with black and white thinking: there’s no room for grey. You’re either all one way or the other. Either idealized and put on a pedestal or devalued and treated like trash. They will also have intense periods of anger like this, especially when extremely stressed. Also, they can be very impulsive. Please note, I am not diagnosing WTD in the slightest, but I can say that you can see this type of behavior with certain personality disorders.
Crazy how I subbed for the Kendrick and Drake beef from the perspective of a unbiased Drake fan only for me to tune into stuff like this
Glad you stuck around 🤝
I can't even imagine the trip this year has been for Drake fans
@@kaedatigerI am curious. In no way am I being facetious; I would like to know the emotions you were going through while witnessing the Kendrick/Drake beef. So far all the Drake fans I spoke to was unhinged and could not put in words why they were feeling the way they looked like they were feeling.
@@kaedatigerthey are actually more unhinged than ever before it’s actually pathetic and scary😤
@@Derapyjust outta curiosity are you still a Drake fan, former fan, or are you kinda indifferent? I don't recall if you already answered that.
He still needs to apologise to Whitney.
And Kendrick. He was no longer as able when it came down to pricing the Vegas hotel allegations.
Omg this! Honestly the amount of people trying to drag Whitney into this when she’s literally done and said nothing is insane
Simple cause Drake fans inherited his trash behavior when IT comes to respectiv women,Drake was like truig paint this ikage of him caring about stuff like these when he literally shoited cb ij the same song the same guy who we know what he did to riri :)a girl who s Drake can t stop talking bad :)about her or etc
The same guy who defended tory when he shooted Megan and sneak dissing Megan the same guy who was like kendrick a wife beater whole tellijg Whitney She should shake her ass for him and hit her from the back how îs that caring about stuff like these 😂
@@catmania5- Facts 😒🤬
Before his apology and Justin's reaction video, he tried to double down, but no one was supporting him.
Also, WTD never addressed the racist joke of saying Justin doesn't look like he said the N-word. WTD's rant was too racially insensitive to let go of with an apology. He made it look like the ignorant aspects of our culture are the cool parts
I still think he only went after Justin because he is so soft spoken and polite. WTD really thought he would be an easy target because of that!
I literally screamed when he said he wanted to take a break from TH-cam and consider not even returning 😂 cooked his ass right off the platform…right out the culture.
😂😂😂
Don't be fooled. It's intentional. He does not want to cover meet the Grahams or not like us because they would be so damaging to drake. He clearly was persuaded to make the last video the hit piece on Kendrick in the bogus Family Matters breakdown
@@sailorneen I like this comment, but I don’t see it like that. He built in an exit strategy and a reason to NOT react to MTG and NLU.
@@evrydayppl2 oooooohhhh!!!
@@SEOshogunIve been wanting to talk about this. There's a video talking about why he definitely does not want to break down Meet the grahams.
Because the same with other songs he would have to dig deep and it would shine light on the topics covered about Drake in that song, and that would be absolutely horrible because of the Diddy situation going on right now
For anybody who’s lost / has not been locked in the house this week lol, here is a “quick” Timeline / Synopsis of the What’s The Dirt Saga mostly before and during the time of his apology video below. The homies in the comments added awesome suggestions for The Aftermath takes and videos that I’m not including here.
In the beginning …
1) What’s the Dirt went viral for his breakdowns of The Drake vs Kendrick Lamar Beef. He said he was going to do them in order and had been coming up with them pretty quickly. Then when Family Matters was up, he took this long ahh break. People were hitting him up on socials and he was doing interviews here n there (We Love Hip Hop - a Canadian hip hop channel, TheVill - a lowkey hip hop journalist, etc.) and dropping tidbits on Twitter. I’ll elaborate but keep in mind that his colleagues were trying to respectfully advise him _ahead_ of his long-awaited video release.
2) Some of the preview tidbits he was dropping on Twitter were raising a ruckus that he was dismissing as being a bunch of Kendrick stans and “K-bots”, when actually some people were trying to respectfully alert him to factual errors that were problematic if he didn’t correct/address them before he produced his FM video. JV from The Vill and Monie (from Chilling with Monie) were a couple of those people and fellow youtubers who had given him a lot of praise previously and were tryna help the brother out!
3) During DIrt’s pre-Family Matters hiatus, he did an interview with The Vill where he seemed kinda cocky, admitted that he like the feeling he got of ppl getting hyped when he popped up in their live streams. He seemed a bit dismissive of JV / Vill’s research and defensive about things Drake was associated with.
He also mentioned that he was in a group chat with Adam22, Trap Lore Ross, and some other ppl then to me he seemed to get real quiet after that little flex😅
And in his interview with We Love Hip Hop he seemed super cocky imo and also flexed that he had hired on his brother (an electrician) to work with him full-time on his channel as well as his girlfriend, who quit her job of ELEVEN NIGG… i mean YEARS! (Sooooo he had i think 2 months with 2 full-time employees to finish a breakdown of Family Matters - a pretty simple song?? Ok….)
He said multiple contradictory things during that interview, but he made it very clear that he had been searching for his niche and that, since his The Beef series blew up, he planned to ride that wave til the end and was going to make a video for each song in the Drake vs Kendrick beef then after that, he wasn’t sure. He initially said that he was very firm in only focusing on the music, whereas people like “the GOAT” Trap Lore Ross (his words, not mine) and others often went into the personal lives and back stories more. While kind of brainstorming, he then suggested that he might do more things like that later.
4) Dirt finally puts out his Family Matters breakdown and everything that he was warned about happened. When Monie kinda said “we told you so,” he called her a hater and said that The Vill was “wrong,” while later admitting that he never even watched the Vill’s video which basically debunked the DV in Las Vegas theory Dirt has been hinting at prior to releasing his FM video that ended up in the actual release!
5) This is where The Company Man (TCM) Justin Hunte’s initial very gentle and compassionate TH-cam (YT) video entered the chat and around where Derapy’s video starts. So, as Derick said, people were reading Dirt for filth for numerous violations and he was lashing out like a mad man, but all on X! Dirt even made his clapback video “rebuttal” and released in ONLY on Twitter/X! But in the YT skreets, IT WAS UP FOR YA BOI!
There were several live streams and produced videos from highly lauded people in The Culture, the music industry irl, and on TH-cam who went up for Justin and snatched Dirt’s invitation to “the cookout,” including Curtiss King, Shawn Cee, and FD Signifier, in addition to Monie, the Vill, [Deleted], etc. Dirt would often pop into the live stream and continue to play victim. For days.
A few of the issues that had people up in arms were the infamous 37🥷🏾s reference ofc, digging into Aubrey’s father’s genealogy to verify that they had been enslaved people in the South (to validate his 37 🥷🏾s theory (tf?!?!), speculating that Kendrick’s partner Whitney may have had postpartum depression and likely revenge cheated bc Kendrick had been an admitted cheater, and so much more.
6) As it turns out, Dirt had already agreed to do a “Family Matters” watch party of sorts with a channel called This Current Culture Podcast. Dirt tried to “are you sure you wanna do this to your reputation?” move to get out of it, but the fellas was like nah bruh lets do it. So 3 days ago (September 20, 2024), Dirt showed up and did a Six hour long live with them where they watched a painful chunk of the FM video, talked through things with him, and then took LIVE QnA from the audience.
~ THIS LIVESTREAM IS WHAT LED TO THE APOLOGY VIDEO THAT THIS DERAPY VIDEO COVERED. ~
The audience let him know in no uncertain terms that Justin was owed a video apology on his platform (versus on X, where Dirt admitted he had planned to do it).
So, to Dirt’s credit, he was largely contrite, as you see in his apology video, but I would also encourage people to note that he was apologetic but ALWAYS kept defending himself at the same time! He said the right things in the right way, but also kept harping on how things were affecting his feelings and mental health but with no mention of that for the people he did harm to.
7) This is a bit out of order, but i would also refer you to Cliff Beats channel and a video he did 3 months ago called “He Steals From Reaction Channels and then DISSES THEM?!” (June 8, 2024) that was all about Dirt doing him the EXACT SAME WAY that he did TCM Justin Hunte! Dirt even used the same tactic of beefing over on twitter, claiming that he didn’t want to give Cliff “any motion,” though Cliff is himself an actual music professional in real life and has a channel of 328K subscribers since 2020 himself!
8) After Dirt’s apology video, another YT sleuth (sorry I’ll have to find that creator and video later) noticed that, while Dirt said in the video that he wasn’t monetizing it, that he went to the effort to have his sponsored Happy Dad merch on and strategically displayed all over his “cave.”
Apparently Akademics and maybe Drake fw Happy Dad and they have strong right-wing affiliation (according to Professor Skye in his how to be a tourist video on this situation), but i don’t know nuttin bout thaaa … But there is a theory that Dirt intentionally crashed out for his FM vid so that he could then dip from finishing the rest of songs in The Beef (Meet the Grahams, They Not Like Us, and Heart(less) Part 6, which in case you aren’t familiar with The Beef would be HEINOUS for Drake!!!
Dirt did mention in his We Love Hip Hop interview i think that one time he got a video demonetized by YT (ironically when Drake used the hard-R) but his community came to the rescue and, from their support, he made way more money from them than he lost with the demonetization so maybe there is something to that sponsorship to abort the series theory idk 🤷🏽♀️
My 2 Cents:
My personal opinion / theory is that Dirt has always been a hip hop fanboy and definitely “got too comfortable” and revealed that he may have loved the music, but that doesn’t mean he even understood, cared about, or respected the culture and people behind the hip hop mystique and that being associated made him feel cool then ultimately gave him huge clout and a massive sense of entitlement because he struck gold with his videos related to The Beef. And when he rode the wave to the point of having his girlfriend quit her job to work with him and his brother, then IMMEDIATELY crashed out, then hell yeah he became VERY sorry, VERY quickly!
He was very quick to add Black content creators to his video trailer as his co-signers, without their authorization apparently. But he had zero fvcks to give when some of those same people tried to advise him before and after his horrific video. And based on how he lied about, reviled, and smeared Cliff Beats (who is White by the way) months earlier, it wasn’t just a “one-time” thing (that went on for the past two weeks).
In my opinion, he showed his character and his TRUE feelings (or lack thereof) about the people outside of himself and I’m not interested in watching an outsider critique and disrespect my people and culture - or anyone else’s for that matter!
There are some awesome hip hop culture commentators and video essayists from the culture out there (shout out to you, Derapy!) and i will be enjoying their videos and hopefully he stays off of my radar going forward lol
But i think Dirt owes apologies to A LOT more people than just Justin Hunte and, if he’s as talented as people were saying, I don’t see why he should quit YT. But i would appreciate if he kept my people and culture out of his fkn mouth. It seems that he may be currying favor from a different group now so time will tell.
Sorry this is so long, but i hope it gives a helpful synopsis and pointers where to look if you want to check out the primary sources yourself.
I’m glad to be crawling out of this rabbit hole before it goes deeper and getting back to the good people and stuff in life. Take care yall! ✌🏾😘

Have you ever considered becoming a journalist? Because this is what’s really missing from the culture.
That was worth the 15 min read dude 😊
On a side note; the cut of "I'll have my editor find some of the audio of X" to just the editor's voice going "meh" is my favourite ever moment in youtube editing 🤣👏👏
This comment means a ton. Thank you hahaha

btw, dude, thank you for the reminder to text my future wife. absolutely worked. ofc I mean what I messaged her but the reminder to do so helped haha
His family matters video was actually deceptive and manipulative. He purposely left out info or lied to make Drake look better

@@catmania5oh damn I actually didn't know about that. Congrats to them
They didn’t know how to stop while they were ahead and not we they taking Ls
Not The Weeknd 😅
The fact he did it in a sponsored shirt run by the Far Right is icky
Having the shirt and the brewskis in the back isn’t a great look tbf lol
@@Derapy Id recommend Professor Skys video on this situation and the apology, because he felt that is was an inadequate apology and shows why very well
@@Derapythat’s the same beer that sponsors Akademiks and the Nelk boys. And we know how they feel about this beef.
He kept trying to make the backlash about Kendrick fans, not understanding that BLACK PEOPLE had a problem with his racial insensitivity when promoting his fm breakdown on X and eventually posting it and making offhand comments like calling Kendrick a milkman and an uncle Ruckus. He just made it a whole lot worse by saying he "can tell" Justin doesn't use the N word and likened him to Carlton Banks. Imo, wtd is racist af.
He definitely needed to apologize to Justin, but he has a couple more apologies to go.
He owes an apology to Monie for sure. She doesn’t have as many subscribers as everyone else, but when you watch her video, it made me rethink everything about his family matters breakdown. She provided him with receipts to get everything right in that video and not only did he not use the information which he knew to be true, but he actually went the other way and said the opposite and lied.
Then on top of that because he and Monie were talking back-and-forth, he was talking to her to get her opinion before he posted the video and she straight up, told him if he ignores the truth and lies that it’s going to cause a lot of problems for him not only did he ignore it, but he went and called her a hater somewhere else online. I don’t know if it was the same video where he was calling Justin stupid and calling him a POS and things like that but he did call her a hater and all she did was try to help him. But then he still used a clip from one of her videos from weeks earlier at the very end of that video where she’s complementing him so it looks like she cosigned that video and that’s wrong on every level.
He also needs to apologize to the people that watches videos and believe he’s telling the truth because he had the truth right there in his pocket, but he had an agenda with that video which is something he’s never done before. The reason so many people in the culture were giving him props because he was keeping it a buck and just coming with facts that video was the first time he had the fax but chose to lie anyway .
Apologizing is fine but he kinda showed who he is and how he moves with his breakdown and response.
Exactly. The problem is his character not his action
Exactly. And that’s the main reason why I won’t be watching. He can’t take the heat or stand on his own words. His content won’t be missed on my end
Bruh why can't people leave Whitney the fuck alone?
They are taking their cue from Drake sadly
This apology is like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.
He said sorry just for show, and now he’s got bad blood
@@misterkrausstake a look what you done
Bro got pressured so hard to pick a side in the beef that he decided to just pick J. Cole
😂🤣
J. Cole chose his peace though. Idk if Matt (WTD) is at peace but he tried to put the situation at peace
Cole appears to have integrity while whatsthedirtbag dowsn not...
Yooooo I’m dead
One of the things that I find grating in WTD’s apology is when he starts referring to Justin as “that man.” Something about being unable to say his name as he goes on feels too amorphous, and I don’t like that.
right? like whatever feelings he got come deep from within
The fact that he said he directed all his hate and anger at Justin. Hate for what??? And it took THAT form??? And his girlfriend kept telling him to stop and he ignored her? So he's well versed in disrespecting women on the way to disrespect Black men and Black women. That's cool, but he needs to stay on that side then.
Reminds me of Drake not being able to say Pusha's name also referring to him as "that man"
@@ultimamage3it shows his emotional immaturity. He can't take the fact that he gets called out so he decides to go after one or two people instead of maybe sitting down and looking in the mirror. Matt did the same to Cliff Beats a few months ago I learned after this popped off. I'm learning lurks in smaller creators' channels and chats, steals their theories and ideas, and puts them into his videos, and gets mad af when people give him an ounce of critique.
Just like Drake with pusha or kendrick suddleny they became the guys that You can t even speaknon their name 😂
The only part of his apology that was good enough was when he said he was quitting TH-cam.
😂😂😂😂
Facts! 😂😂😂
In the basement counting n-words is the new: In racial chatrooms showing feet
They played out the Drake v Kendrick beef in podcast form lmao
Hahahahahahha this is an underrated comment
This is exactly what I said lmao
@@teddymthembu123 This beef has spawned some wild spin off beef's 🤣
I said that too, it was life imitating art in the most undeniable and unintentional way possible. Since very early on in the rap battle, after Euphoria, this whole saga has read like something out of the bible, like God is using Kendrick to build an arc to either start over or just as a form of grace to let ppl decide if they'll believe he's up to something or if its just all a coincidence that it seems like he might be.
"This is how quiet the room got: " lmao
Lmao I just got to this part and omg 😂😂😂😂😂 this was funny
Tough love sometimes gotta result in violence.
Glad I stuck around after the Kendrick/Drake beef. This podcast is tons of fun!
Frfr
He speaks like he is an expert and authority on a culture and community he will only be a guest in. That will always be a 🚩🚩🚩to me. In his “apology“ he continuously uses his mental health as a shield and a crutch, another 🚩 🚩🚩
Black Canadian here. WTD’s apparent blinders are best understood if you understand racism in Canada. I hope he takes the time to examine his desire to be “invited to the cookout” by a group of people that he clearly has unaddressed biases towards. And I don’t think he’ll get there without first understanding the specific kind of racism he has been raised in. Counting N-words was crazy and a reach…but it was the “I can tell” and Carlton quips that took me TF out. That alone tells me he needs to at the very least, have a cultural consultant on his team so he can work through some of this in the background and avoid embarrassing himself like this if he chooses to continue.
tired of the vultures feeding and fleeing
fair take
I think people get the wrong idea- if someone acts up and is thrown out of a place, and apologises, accepting their apology doesn't have to mean you let them back in. What's the Dirt says he misunderstood his own position, be said his actions were 'disgusting', he said that he got 'too comfortable', he said that every criticism in CMs video was '100% valid', and most importantly for me, he acknowledged that his behaviour actually 'proved' Justin's points from the beginning.... I mean, it sounds to me like he gets it? At least, as much as he can get it, and the stuff he doesn't get at least he now gets that he doesn't get. If you get me.
I am capable of seeing him as just another flawed human, and i respect him for owning up to bad actions, and I'll respect him more if he grows and learns from it. But like... we dont have to watch his videos or support his channel. He can do a different job now, probably 'hip-hop commentator and analyst' isn't a great job for him considering everything that's happened. But I've got no need in my heart to hold something against him on a personal level.
Maybe this is part of the problem with TH-cam and creator culture etc. People cant separate the person from the channel. I hope his channel doesn't become a major force in hip hop going forward, i dont think that's good for anyone, but i still wish the guy the best and i hope he comes out of this smarter and stronger.
Very solid take here.
This. This. Hes done to me and should be done to anyone talkinf about gatekeeping black music.
Professor Skye made a good video on why his apology felt more like damage control. I hate that he made the apology, decked out in sponsor gear (also, look into the sponsor if you're curious. Not a good look). Call me a nitpick. Also, it's hard for me to give him credit for all these good talking points when he spent days in comment sections of every live streamer as well as in his own comments hearing this exact feedback and pushing back on each one. Does he mean what he says or is he repeating what he's heard. I donno. But... me. Personally. I'm done with his content.
It's a really bad look to make a youtube channel where over 90% of the videos are about rappers feuding.
Then get a sponsorship from a far right drinks company that usually only sponsors awful Donald Trump supporters and propagandists. It's almost like the far right want you to portray a negative image of rap music and black culture.
The only reason I think the apology is side-eyed is because he did initially double down, and then he started showing up in live streams to give money or hope that his presence would ease the critique. Idk. Then I think once he saw he couldn’t dig himself out, he needed to apologize. Personally I wanted to unsubscribe, but imagine my disappointment when I realized I never subscribed. Either way I won’t be giving him any direct views going forward because I thought all of his “motion” comments were weird.
Yeah the “motion” comments had me cringing hard lol
Exactly and same here!
As a white person, watching another white person essentially try to revoke any black man’s pass is one of the craziest and cringe things I’ve ever seen, I can only imagine how people in the community feel
"Mhmm..... Mhmm..... We're listening..."
That shit was hilarious 😂
You don't get to apologise and walk off scot free after pulling some shit like that in my opinion
Fair
He can apologize. We can even forgive him. That doesn’t mean we have to keep watching, and I feel like that’s the expectation. Nah, I saw how you moved, and even though you apologized, you don’t get to be as close as you used to. We’re in a new normal now.
@@TheRonnieaj yeah thats the truth basically. You can win a little morality and dignity but you ain't winning any friendships back.
The apology was sponsored by happy dad 🤣🤣🤣
People like “What’s the Dirt?”ruin it for white peoples like myself 😂 bc people will think we’re all like this. We are not. I, for one, know a “Family Matters” video DID NOT NEED an hour breakdown, much less 2!! 2- I am NEVER counting that word! Idc how many times someone uses it! 3-I agree with Justin. Researching someone’s genealogy should be illegal. I’ve not even looked at my own! 4-Plus, I can’t stand Drake 😂
I just think that since this man has put himself in the position of being an expert on hip hop culture that he has to be held to that standard when we think about the apology.
I've never heard of using Carlton as an insult before - I have only heard Carlton referenced as the dance move. How did this white Canadian guy know about calling black men this without knowing it was an insult?
How did he do his hundreds of hours of research on this and not know that claiming "he could tell" Justin Hunt didn't say the n word for twenty years would be wildly inappropriate on all kinds of levels?
Claiming ignorance for these things would be believable for random Joe who works as a mechanic in rural Canada, but it doesn't work for WTD.
He said those things with intentions to belittle Justin and call into question his blackness and his expertise in hip hop culture.
I believe him that this is an ongoing issue he struggles with, but if anger and explosiveness is a struggle for him then he needs to avoid putting himself in situations where he goes off.
Right, I was thinking the exact same about the Carlton thing. I've never heard of it, either- I'm white, and if that word had become part of my dictionary at some point and I wanted to weaponize it against someone, naturally I would consider the racially motivated context I first heard it in? I don't know. Clearly he has some things to unpack, here.
Drake, Akademiks and the Nelk Boys might be looking to ditch What's The Dirt already.
He's practically useless to them, now he can't produce another biased video without being completely rejected by the culture, following that apology.
I think Drake's objectives we're met...he didn't want a WTD breaking down Kendrick's last two songs. Look how much WTD showed us about the 6:16 in LA? He told us about Drakes underage parties, stuff we'd never connect. Now that he's 'canceled', he's probably not gonna do the last two and it makes sense for him not to. It oddly feels like it was meant to be like this.
@@michellewilliams5533 it was a joint objective, this was planned by WTD following the backlash from his 6:16 breakdown. WTD never intended to do videos on MTG and NLU and he was willing to let his racism take center stage to accomplish that. It was intentional
Intentions are important. And It's important to note that he originally DM'ed Justin to apologize. He also doubled-down (to me) when he basically told Wackademics that he was forced to apologize by Kendrick fans.
He told ak he was forced to apologize?
That man only apologized once he realized he went to far.. he was going too hard for too long, and still saying things that’s shows he doesn’t get it, for me to believe he was compelled to apologize due to a genuine change of heart. It’s more like damage control once everyone dog piled on you in a way you didn’t expect. Other content creators such as chilling with Monee exposed do behind the scenes things between them that warrants less grace for his intentions
Watch Proffessor Sky's video. He breaks down why it meaningless. Basically avoid the true problems with what he said
Yep and chilling with Monie made a video explaining how she gave him a heads up about some wrong info he had in his video, even giving him the correct info and warned him that if he didn't change it they were gonna have a problem. Not only did he not do as she asked, he put a clip of her endorsing him at the end if his video AND proceeded to call her a hater when she called him out on Twitter
@@QweenieBii95yeah this shit is terrible
@Derapy yeah the apology gives fake and trying to stop the hemorrhaging
@@QweenieBii95 I would tend to believe this if he didn’t flee the internet, say he’s in therapy for it and say his girl was begging him to stop lol
@Derapy should have listened to lil baby. She was trying to save him
What gets me is half the shit he "speculates" on (Kindrick & Whitney's relation) was confirmed false by Kendrick's camp. Whitney's bodyguard was BRAGGING publicly about scamming Drake. He made up a story snd fed false rumors.
WTD ignored all of that when the story was confirmed by multiple sources.
It annoys me. He uses the same podcast where this came out as a source or other WTD episodes. As it also tolls us why J Cole dropped out.
You either trust Schoolboy Q & BeFresh or you don't. You can't use them once and not again.
Clearly had an agenda.
I think what he said to that man and made him feel was disgusting. I could see it on the company man’s face. It was horrible.!!
I really do feel like he showed his true colors and the apology is nice, but it doesn’t undo what he said and showed us in those previous videos !
I unsubscribed very quick
Nah I woulda unsubbed too tbf
It’s important to note that in TCM’s response he said at the end “you don’t know me dawg” when being clipped into WTD’s vid. & that’s super true.
Justin is a vet. And respected for good reason.
WTD crashing out over ignorance. & that just ain’t it
Honestly, I don't think he did a lot of work. I think he did a lot of plagiarism and a lot of weaving in his own narratives. But to me it seemed like what he did was take a lot of TH-camrs and other people's theories, claim them as his own, and made a two-hour video with it. Copying off of somebody else's homework does not take a lot of work.
Damn lol
Maybe at least he did the editing? 😅
@@Derapy Hey love your content keep up the good work thank you for your voice in the space.
So, a colonizer like Drake?😭
@teddymthembu123 Pretty much because all of the stuff that he was getting was either off Twitter and also he's a Canadian who hangs out with a bunch of Canadian Drake supporters. So it's real easy for him to follow suit and go by their playbook months after the beef. What really hurts me is that he's taking food that's been in storage in his refrigerator for about 3 months reheating it and saying it's fresh.
Inviting people to the cookout is INSANE! Always has been
Fr
And the invite is always for something black people either do better or been doing forever 😭
We applaud yt ppl for the bare minimum. It’s gross
@@SuccessfulOnSunset310 I think it's a sense of getting bullied and mistreated so harshly for so long from someone and that someone while punching you in the face says and pronounces you name correctly. It's like oh shit he might be actually a good person at least he knows my name! 😂
I'm still not convinced you're not Josh Johnson. Respectfully, I like both of you.
🤫
He does kind of sound like him 😂😂😂
Never made this connection until now😅
He reminded me of SOMEONE....
"I respected him so much that when he criticized me I just had to call him Carlton."
He didn't apologize because he was sorry, he was upset not everyone was liking him anymore at least in my opinion.
Im latino and when he said " I can tell" when Justin Hunt said he didn't grow up saying the N-word i was like "OH HELL NAH 😡😡"
That shit was so completely out of pocket that i immediately turned sour on this weirdo. Justin Hunt is an amazing TH-camr and he doesn't deserve that type of disrespect...
Man, I absolutely love this podcast. Best music podcast on TH-cam, hands down. Love the content you’ve been posting big bro.
🤝
He was trying to call the company man a square when in reality he was the true square lol
Here's the thing about Meet the Dirt...this isn't the first time, or the second time, he has crashed out and talked reckless. This is his third time! The culture swarmed him like those Wu-Tang Killer bees...and rightfully so.
Also, that FM video is not a breakdown... it's a hit piece.
Ultimately the apology does not matter because the same way he questioned Justin's blackness he questioned Kendrick's hoodness and he stands by that. What is the difference? he only apologized to Justin because of the huge backlash. Even though he knew exactly who Justin was he tried to make him look like a nobody and a dirty snakey clout chaser. He calls justin Carlton Banks on his X channel and then pretends he didn't know what that meant? The number one way to prove that WTD is not of good moral character is that he was confronted by chilling with Monie about his information in Family Matters being inaccurate around the beating of Whitney allegations BEFORE the video released and he STILL USED chilling with Monie's praise from another video to launder his own reputation on the hit piece he made containing the inaccurate information! This excellent point made by Johnhinged.
WTD purposefully left out information to try to make Drake's bars in Family Matters look legit. Examples: he admits on the current culture podcast that he knows about the donations and non-profit Kendrick uses to give back to his City but does not mention them at all when talking about the money trees bar in family matters. He only mentions the fact that Kendrick doesn't have businesses in compton as if that's the only way to plant a money tree. He follows this up with "what has Kendrick really done?"
I think he's compromised. Just look at the difference between the breakdown of Family Matters and push-ups. He was invited to the cookout and used his access as a Trojan horse to sneak in propaganda and racial slurs. Calling Kendrick a Milkman is beyond disgusting and without a stitch of evidence, leaving it open that Whitney might have cheated just because she had postpartum depression is just plain wrong. " Come on guys. Drake must have gotten it from somewhere". He of course leaves out all of the footage showing that Whitney came to New York and brought the kids. That she was with him during the beef and showed up at the pop out and in the video. He leaves out that no evidence has been found of her with any bodyguards and leaves out the fact that Dave Free and Kendrick are still cool. How is that accurate reporting?
WTD should not be trusted going forward. He showed his true disdain for the culture and we should believe him.
I forgot to mention that what's the dirt went on X and said that chilling with Monie was a hater, discrediting her when all she did was point out that his information was inaccurate and she had receipts. He then used her likeness to launder his reputation during the breakdown that contained the inaccurate information. I think he sees snakes everywhere because he is one.
This is a great comment. Thank you for sharing. Will almost certainly do a follow up because of comments like this.
"My wife...is not black"
You need the Undertaker bell from Dr Umar content right thurr
Hahahahha missed opportunity there for sure.
You’re someone who gets it Derapy. You’re invited to any Asian Dim sum you want 😂. Jokes aside WTD didn’t bring up Whitney having post partum depression because we don’t know if she does. He just made it up with no evidence. That’s my biggest problem with him
That’s nuts lmao
@@Derapy yeah you can’t just make stuff up about someone and dress it up as a fact then go and basically call them a whore. Good episode btw 👍
I also cant take him seriously with all that happy dad merch front and center. Did he NEED to make money on this
Nah you’re right. Not a good look. Granted it’s possible he’s contractually obligated. Still bad optics.
@@Derapy possible. I can see it
prof skye mentioned the people who gets sponsored by that brand 👀
@dawnpyro43 yep. The Nelk boys are big drake glazers and trump supporters. That makes this apology really icky for me
One of the more critical issues I have if that WTD disrespected more than just Justin, I’m showing his obviously racist views, he disrespected the entirety of the black community but suggesting that “every” black family uses the N word. I can say fully chested that I wasn’t raised like that and my family viewed the N word as distasteful.
You’re the only tuber I will watch for hours. We need more hour content!
I’m loving the additional info being provided in the comments. I see a lot of people referencing videos about this I haven’t watched which is good!
Videos from people like Professor Skye and Chilling With Monie or whoever else; by all means check them out! I’m an “outsider” when it comes to this conflict.
Also if you’re new here and notice I’m making a lot of the show about me, well welcome to Derapy 😂
You don’t have to agree with my feelings on this or other people’s, I encourage the civil discourse. Either way, glad you’re here. LIKE the video if you liked it. Subscribe for more yappin. See ya in the comments 🤙🏽

In addition to the cultural insensitivity, I didn't know that dude was genuinely delusional. Like, the way he was constantly speaking of himself and his channel as some grandeur spectacles had me crying laughing. Lmfaooooo
This is damage control. I don't take his apology as sincere. As he's sporting his Happy dad merch which shows he's compromised. Influencers' tried to help b4 he dropped the FM but he didn't listen. THINGS he could have added of importance, he left out to give the boy leverage. Which is sad. And then proceeds to double down. Now apologize because people tpld him to.
Literally hunched over washing dishes listening to this episode, thanks for the reminder to fix my posture lol
Gotchu hahaha
I just don’t understand how he thought he wouldn’t get called out for overreaching after taking super long to make a super long video about the shallowest song of the entire beef. How do you spend the most time gloving in depth about the song with the least depth
Because his FM breakdown was always meant to be a Kendrick hit piece and his way to distance himself from hip hop after gaining credibility/momentum then segway into a racist right wing grifter. Lots of us called this out early on after the backlash he got for his 6:16 video. It’s the most basic and stereotypical whyte boy sh!t ever
I’m glad derapy is one of those dudes that gets it 😂
@@goatwatch5375 💀
I've never had a white person call me a Carlton (thank goodness) but I've had other black folk say I look like Carlton (hated it).
I'm glad that now I'm out of school, I've gotten Reggie Bush when rocking a fade and Kareem Hunt with my locs.
I loved WTD’s breakdown of the first few songs, but like you also stopped 20ish minutes into Family Matters…. It felt like he wanted to make it a “big moment” to come across as unbiased so all songs got big breakdowns. Excited to listen to you breakdown a bit of what went on behind the scenes (and on twitter lol)
Wearing happy dad merch during it was a bold move
If he is sponsored, he may have to wear it in videos per contract. Which is why all this looks terrible, you switched to slandering Kendrick and Whitney at the same time that you got a Drake affiliated sponsorship.
I’m glad I didn’t waste 2 hours on his family matters break down video cause something in my spirit told me… ain’t no way family matters needs two and a half hours unless he gone have some evidence Drake himself didn’t have… see all this go down? I’m glad I trusted that spirit, cause that’s two hours I’d never get back.
Also we in 2024… white folks who wanna be in predominantly black spaces? Y’all shouldn’t be making mistakes like this anymore, we have countless examples to show y’all how to avoid shit like this and y’all keep doing it 🤣🤣
Random aside, but theres actually an incredible scene from fresh prince where carlton gives a monologue on how he’s still a black man at the end of the day. Always stuck with me, that show had a lot of depth
I know! I love that scene!!!!!
Thanks for reacting to this so I don't have to give WTD a click.
Gotchu lol
This is what happens when a guest moves through your home faster than you allow...
Tbh he was beyond allowed - He was damn near embraced. As Professor Lexx HipHop explained: folks invited him in, platformed him, promoted his vids, then got pikachu face shocked when he turned out to be trash. He did a good vid on this two days ago… “you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas”.
Maybe folks will learn about platforming cultural tourists in the future.
(As a white person, lots of us are trash. This happens over and over and we feel empowered to culture vulture anything that interests us or could be colonized for profit. We’ll keep doing it as long as you keep letting us)
“My wife..is not black” 🤣🤣🤣 busted out laughing brodie. Funny ass shit
ESPECIALLY with the sound effects!! 🤣🤣🤣
I do think it's worth noting that what's the dirt does actually suffer from Bipolar Disorder (he mentioned it in a video almost a year ago). He goes to therapy but it's clear to me that he seems more susceptible than many are to the destabilizing nature of the internet.
!!!
That thing you said about your wife's relative reminds me of one time in college I heard a white dude say he was so impressed by Langston Hughes's poetry he "thought he was white" and he said it as if it was a compliment. I think the only people who actively tensed up were me and the teacher because everyone else in the room was white (I was the only POC there). It was so WILD considering what Langston Hughes was writing about IN the poem! LANGSTON! HUGHES!
50 mins of the 🐐 Derapy? Life is good!!!
Gonna need some marriage episodes!
Heard 📝
I don't listen to podcasts, you're the first one I listen to daily. Really like how ground to earth and nuanced you are at expressing your thoughts!
He apologized to a man but he also apologized to the culture. Very important to not that.
Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but that ability you have to say, "I don't even know this guy, why would I take his criticism so personally" is such a healthy quality to have, and one that I absolutely do not have. Which is why I could never be an influencer or a famous person for even 5 minutes, I would crumble pretty much instantly. I care way to much about what outsiders think of me - even people for whom I have no respect and actively loathe! It's weird and dumb and I have almost no control over it. I mostly have to just keep repeating to myself that the person hating on me isn't someone who's respect I ever wanted in the first place.
This quality of my personality is almost certainly a byproduct of my upbringing, which is part of why it's so hard to shake.
Apologizing is good. Actions speak louder. I was one who was happy to see him apologize, and to see it on his main channel. Then, after, I learned that he's crashed out on Cliff Beats like this before. I saw him say on Thought Crimez that he never intended to put the apology on his channel, that it was gonna go on his Twitter, and he thought that would be fine because a lot of his audience likely didn't know who Justin was/follow the drama. To me, that says a lot about his "real" feelings about the situation. If you're gonna be someone in a space, especially an outsider in a space who is trying to be a voice, and you're not going to remain teachable, then you need to sit down.
Wait! I haven't made my popcorn! Ya got to warn me before you drop
I really like this show
I really like this comment
I feel like it's really hard to come off as authentic on TH-cam when you have to give an apology. But being a white TH-camr, apologizing to a black man for rac*st comments is even more difficult. I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think he referred to any of his comments as racist which makes me wonder if he really believes what he's saying. Cause I don't expect him to self flagellate, but actually sitting down and going into the implications of why what he said was messed up would have shown actual reflection rather than this, "Yeah I just sometimes say some dumb things and I didn't mean to" angle. And I'm not anyone to sit down and criticize on whether this man is being forreal or not, I just feel like sorry is not enough sometimes. And this is one of those times where it is definitely not enough.
They don’t like TH-cam or TikTok apologies because they think people are only sorry because they got caught. They feel it’s very performative.
I’m OG 70 and great job 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💃🏿🍒you live a you learn and wt has shown that he is guinine and error is the steps to learning. The community never say he was a white guy that got he was a young man that got it….a true researcher…we take it seriously. Don’t come in the kitchen if you don’t wanna get burnt. Ps: I hope he checks his comments because we really enjoyed his videos and he is the teacher for future young men coming into this sphere. We don’t argue we discuss and elevate and grow. We didn’t think he was racist we think he’s a AkBOT which is much worst. Breaking down bars is surgical. Growing it up is just taking the lose and correct…it’s ok…think that’s the entire biff with Drake …again I listened to the end and great job.
His apology is as good as his repentance. As long as that bizarre FMs video stays up as is after showing and admitting that he made it while being as clueless and ignorant as Drake is about the culture, he cannot be trusted.
So he meant Carlton as an insult and didn’t cover in his apology why being a “straight edge guy” is atypical and insulting as a black man. He’s so used to portraying them as villains in his videos that he thinks that’s the standard. I think torture talk was the first to mention that so props to him, seems kinda racist to me but not my place to say. Also, Deangelo Wallace makes great videos…agreed.
