there can be more than one story happening at once
Don’t call for MPs to be murdered.
Easy
Looks like Massive Attack is really kneeing deep into polotical affairs now!
One hit wonders jumping on the bandwagon is more likely the story.
Peoples children are getting their limbs blown off but the story is what a young rap group is saying. Pure old same old fuckin depressing oppression. Fuck them
And what is the story? That Hamas still hold Israeli hostages ?
What a UK band says about UK MPs in a UK venue is very much a UK story.
The fact that there’s worse happening elsewhere is not a justification.
I don’t even *like* kneecap. Tried their music and it wasn’t for me. I hear the film is good.
It’s simply insane that there can be days of media attention, with calls from political members and celebrities demanding apologies from a consistently controversial Belfast rap group, and NOT the same level of scrutiny aimed at the country that has been indiscriminately bombing men, women and children
Fucking HELL, but people’s priorities are out of whack.
They literally are.
No they are not. The act itself, the art itself, has been overshadowed by a smick saying something deeply fucking wrong.
These artists have not fully grasped that.
Calling for MPs to be murdered, actively calling for anyone to be killed is not art.
I think the discussion here is not balanced because the thread is full of kneecap fans. Some of these comments are idiocy
Loved the Song I’m a HOOD but then they got political totally lost me then.
Could you not maybe call for your MPs to be killed and then drape yourself in a Hezbollah flag, make a show about reading Nasrallah’s book on your social media and shouting “up Hamas, Up Hezbollah!” At your gigs?
I get the sentiment of being against the war in the Middle East. But you can make statements on that and use your platform to spread awareness on your side of the argument without promoting literal terrorist organizations for the craic
When you mix political statements with band promotions, you get one explosive album drop announcement.
Breaking News: Band upgrades from Massive Attack to Massive Advocacy.
A fair point. We quite often get worked up about billionaires in space or a politician using a bad word or what is or is not on US government whatsapp chats… but none of that has any substance. We’ve spent decades arguing over the scandal-of-the-week while politicians have made us systematically poorer.
👏👏👏👏👏
Are kneecap a punk band though? I thought they were more like hip hop or something along those lines
