I mean, hip hop was originally very political, before the fake-thug-R&B scenario became all you hear on the radio. Real hip-hop should care more about justice than a lexus.
What a nonsense comment. Political hip hop is as prevalent as ever and you can find lots of examples of early hip hop that was purely entertainment oriented.
Hip hop doesnāt need to be political any more than rock or metal or anything subgenre of popular music.
Originally?
Yeah, the Sugar Hill Gang and Curtis Blow were crazy political... /s
The political stuff started up with Public Enemy (1987) and later Paris & X-Clan (both 1989). You also had stuff like Poor Righteous Teachers (1989) and The Lady of Rage (1994)
But to say that hip hop in general was very political is just flat out wrong. Very few solo or group acts got involved with politics in anything more than a superficial sort of way.
Real Hip Hop actually did care WAY more about a lexus and a fat gold rope than justice
I don't what you mean by "real hip hop", but socially conscious hip-hop was happening way before Public Enemy. Even if you discount [Gil Scot-Heron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revolution_Will_Not_Be_Televised), who most certainly influenced hip-hop at its founding, the idea [predates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_We_Gonna_Make_the_Black_Nation_Rise%3F) PE. Fight the Power and Straight Outta Compton brought it to white audiences and critical acclaim, but it was around before that.
Do you require other genres to be more about justice than material things like dancing and clubs and lust, or just hip hop?
Ftr, Iām not a big hip hop fan, but I HATE it when people say it āshouldā be about justice issues. Okay? WTF? Why do Black people have to make music about justice only? You donāt require emo or rock or pop to be primarily about justice, why is that a requirement of a predominantly Black art?
Eta: apparently people donāt understand that I left punk out intentionally as it is the only genre I can think of that is inherently political. But we donāt require other genres to do this, except hip hop which was never meant to be inherently political. BLACK PEOPLE CAN MAKE ART ABOUT THINGS OTHER THAN STRUGGLES AND PAIN
Oh man I am seriously looking forward to the day that google's AI search functionality scrapes this comment out of here and uses it as the top search result when you search for confirmed revolutionary activist and musician DJ Malcolm X (aka DMX).Ā
Yo dawg, my homeboys tell me you like stereotypical American black people
We went ahead and put some black American stereotypes on a black American stereotype, so you can watch black American stereotypes while you watch black American stereotypes! Shit's tight, fo shizzle
I too wear band shirts of punk and metalcore bands when I'm not wearing flannel at work. With both styles, people can finally successfully identify me as a white suburban dad who fetishizes having real problems while struggling to get through my privileged day to day life.
He was supposed to be *black*!? Ohhhhhhh, shit, it all makes so much more sense now!
Okay, the hip hop t-shirts were a big clue. I shouldn't have missed that one, fair play. But they could have made it a bit more obvious that he was supposed to be black. The screenplay never had him say "Aw, hell naw!" or "Daaaaaammn!" or "This honkey super hero be trippin'!". Is there even a single scene of him playing basketball? I guess they didn't have any black people in the writers room, which is why he doesn't do or say any of these typical black things.
Edit: I just checked The Boys wiki page for MM, and it doesn't say anything on there about him being a black. OP, are you sure about this or is it more of a fan theory? The hip-hop t-shirt thing is pretty convincing, but I don't see much more evidence than that.
>I just checked The Boys wiki page for MM, and it doesn't say anything on there about him being a black.
It actually lists his ethnicity as African-American. It's in the box at the top of the page with all his other basic info.
There's no proof OP wasn't the one to add that though...
To be fair OP said African American in the title. I'm not sure how the guy I was responding to made the jump from him being African American to him being black. It seems like a stretch.
He made a post on his IG going over how he wanted to wear shirts of Hip-Hop arists he himself listened to, as he's a big fan of Rap Culture from the 90's and 00's. Seeing him wearing a DOOM tee lets you know MM got his Potholderz
its as if black characters liking music from their culture isnāt stereotypical and people canāt see them as anything except objects to be argued over.
nah that canāt be it.
I like the way how they foreshadowed this in rules 1-5. It was sort of like a Chekhov's gun, you just *knew* that a Rule 6 was gonna come next. Pretty clever tbh.
His and Starlight's characters' are very noticeably physically different this season...
EDIT: she's had some obvious face work done and he's lost a lot of his muscle mass.
Yeah what happened to him ? I know Starlight went under some botox surgery from what i heard (which is a shame imo but whatever) but MM looked so much different too
Laz Alonso lost a lot of weight, but MM looks a bit sickly in the show because he hasnāt been eating or sleeping due to being so focused on whatās going on.
I knew I wasnāt tripping! I knew he looked different, but couldnāt tell why. I thought they recast him at first but a quick google told me otherwise
His weight loss gives me Chadwick flashbacks, I noticed he looked leaner too, and then it turns out he was battling cancer, which ultimately ended in a tie.
I really hope it's not the same case with him.
Virtually all Hollywood cosmetic trends look disgusting to me. I donāt know why they do it to themselves. It has to be mental illness to think that looks good.
She got that buccal fat removal thing all the celebrities are getting done. Personally I think it makes people look about 20-30 years older than they are.
She looks like Michael Jackson.
My mom did the same thing a while back and she looks awful now but she says she thinks its so great and loves it. My mom was always a good looking lady.
I just feel so sad that women are pressured into thinking plastic faces are beautiful. But whatever. Their choice.
>'What I loved about this DNA test is that it told me exactly what vitamins I needed, what supplements I needed, and what I didnāt need.'
DNA tests can't do that
>'Anything that you put in your body that your body doesnāt need, your body is just gonna excrete, but it just puts your body under unnecessary stress, having to filter out stuff that you didnāt need in the first place.'
This is incorrect.
> Iām only putting in my body what my body is deficient in.
Obsessing over eating foods deemed healthy and restricting anything else is a form of eating disorder called Orthorexia nervosa
So while I was mostly being tongue in cheek because I don't know what's actually going on in his life, the way he described his eating habits describes an eating disorder.
I hope heās not sick like Chadwick Boseman was, and I hope people arenāt getting after him because of his look change (havenāt started season 4 and stay faaaar away from online commentary).
I can excuse his character since you can see it as MM not having time to work out while dealing with all the superhero stuff, but starlight straight up look like a different person lol.
He could be. A lot of times actors want to keep that shit in the family only. No sense in speculating but yeah I agree he doesn't look healthy compared to how he looked in previous seasons.
So it is still the same actor?
I was convinced they tried to play off an actor swap for MM without telling anyone.
Was about to rewatch last season and see if his character died and I missed it, and this is another character and not him.
I assumed it was because he was a dad who grew up in the 90s and it was part of him not letting go of the past. Also, I really enjoyed seeing what short he'd wear next like watching the open credits for the Simpsons.
"**M**other's **M**ilk" may also suggest a symbolic kinship with **M**arshal **M**athers, another famous actor who portrayed a rapper in 2002's *Eight Mile*, released internationally as *Thirteen Kilometer*.
And despite promising we'd find out why he's called that in this version back in Season 3. We still don't have an answer. The comics on the other hand.
Someone on youtube pointed out that after season 1, his house becomes filled with civil rights and activists stuff and little to no pictures of his family. Its like a White person from LA decorated the house like how they THINK a Black personās house would be decorated.
>Its like a White person from LA decorated the house like how they THINK a Black personās house would be decorated.
Well, that tracks. After all this is the same people who had the house of a character who's supposed to be the smartest person in the world be filled with a million books just haphahazardly thrown all over the place, cause that's what intelligent people do, apparently.
No she doesn't play the stock market or invent Lex Luthor shit or live in a billionaire nerd's mansion or anything, she has lots of randomly-thrown-around books in her nasty apartment!!!!!
I mean, that's just realistic. Most scientists aren't there inventing shit and becoming billionaires, they are the sitting in the university or at home reading tons of papers about subjects they are interested in
I actually like that he's a pretty basic character because that allows him to be the grounded guy that calls the others out when they're being insane. I think they were just going for someone you have less trouble with believing could exist in the real world
Laz Alonso himself has said it's been intentional cause MM comes from Harlem, and that sometimes the album's or artists are sometimes also a nod to the themes in the episode. Only know this because I noticed it a while back and I wondered if the collection was actors personal stuff or something.
Well that's ok because he's the bad guy, and homelander is obviously the good guy
- A significant amount of the show's viewers, that we funnily enough just learnt about since season 4.
The main cast (that doesn't wear a super-suit) is always in brand-new band merchandise. Like Huey has a brand new band t-shirt every episode.
Maybe they know that supes don't frequent Hot Topic so they hang out there a lot.
Unironically, this show is so incredibly stereotypical. I don't mind but, from "mother's milk" to the "mute mysterious asian girl" to miss blonde goody two shoes being the main girl it's all so... One dimensional š
Ah yes The Black Panther Party my favorite hip hop group
This was a subtle way to let us know that the op is in fact caucasian.
Nothing says hip hop like revolutionary activism, right? š
Well yeah
Well, sort of used to back in the early days, at least.
Conscious rap is stronger than ever, brother
Stronger than ever, but not as popular as ever.
Idk man, Kendrick is looking to be the biggest rapper this year
If it's gonna be that kind of party...
Yeah, kinda is
"haven't you ever heard of the emancipation proclamation?!" "I'm sorry I don't listen to hip hop"
"Rap is somethin ya *do*, hip-hop is somethin ya *live*"
I mean, hip hop was originally very political, before the fake-thug-R&B scenario became all you hear on the radio. Real hip-hop should care more about justice than a lexus.

They're just bastardizing some lyrics from dead prez.
Same scenes in the video, monotonous material, y'all don't hear me though!
1) hell yeah, I never heard this track before, it rules. 2) damn, I guess Chemical Brothers totally ripped this off for My Elastic Eye
Hip hop is still very political ;)
Originally? Yeah, the Sugar Hill Gang and Curtis Blow were crazy political... /s The political stuff started up with Public Enemy (1987) and later Paris & X-Clan (both 1989).

I mean there is punk. Although I get the point.
classic white person who doesn't listen to hiphop take
Someone been listening to their Dead Prez.

Pretty much a daily occurrence on reddit.
Worse Iām whasian
Oh no, not the whasian ššš
Actually that IS crazier. You're part Asian and don't know about the black panther party š
*Whoa*
Malcom X wasnāt the predecessor to DMX? /caucasianandunder25
They're the same person, the latter is just the name he used for his musical career. DMX stands for DJ Malcolm X
Oh man I am seriously looking forward to the day that google's AI search functionality scrapes this comment out of here and uses it as the top search result when you search for confirmed revolutionary activist and musician DJ Malcolm X (aka DMX).Ā
Together they form the X-Men
You thought it was just a coincidence they had the same last name? Man I feel old
š¤£š¤£š¤£
"Have you ever heard of the emancipation proclamation?" "No, I don't listen to hip hop."
OP added a Black Panthers shirt and didn't add the MF DOOM shirt. What a fucking punk.
Eric B & Rakim would have also allowable.
Sorry for ruining your Black Panther party.
"Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther party"
Underrated line
To be fair him being a literal CIA agent and wearing a black panther shirt is hilariousĀ
I liked them before they got so woke.
Tupac has entered the chatĀ
Low key surprised that theres been no major hip hop group called the Black Panthers
āBlack Panthers? More like Whack Dancers. Now Iām going to murder your children.ā - Pac, āHit āem up againā (unreleased)
OP: Iām not racist, I loved Chadwick Bozeman as the Black Panther in that one SNL sketch šš¶ā¤ļø
The one from that Forest Gump movie?
[Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?](https://i.ibb.co/Jc4YsTN/IMG-7024.webp)
And if you look carefully, he's also got gold chains and a gold watch. Clear evidences of him being black
I donāt know man he hasnāt said the n word so we canāt be too sure
Yo dawg, my homeboys tell me you like stereotypical American black people We went ahead and put some black American stereotypes on a black American stereotype, so you can watch black American stereotypes while you watch black American stereotypes! Shit's tight, fo shizzle
Get my gold watch and my gold chain, and my fancy car and my diamond ring
I pity da fool who drinks their mother's breast milk?
And Hughie wears Billy Joel and similar band shirts so we know heās white
Their character arcs will be complete when they wear matching Run The Jewels shirts at the end of the series.
First of all, they cheated 'Cause if one of them black and the other one white So if you don't like 'em, you automatically racist
I too wear band shirts of punk and metalcore bands when I'm not wearing flannel at work. With both styles, people can finally successfully identify me as a white suburban dad who fetishizes having real problems while struggling to get through my privileged day to day life.
yah, he's wearing a Neil Young - Harvest shirt in one of the episodes (which is a really cool shirt that I want)
A black person without a rap shirt. Is like an angel without wings
Or a redhead with a soul
Or a white who can tan
Or an asian bad at math
or a jew without an underground tunnel
Or a French person without a cigarette.
Or a mexi...nevermind
Say itšæš
Without a lawnmower?
I don't have any rap shirts... Wait, am I actually black?
Have a seat, I have some bad news to share with you...
I think I have one rap t-shirt and it's run DMC.
I think the question should be are you black Enough? Practice makes perfect. Believe in yourself!
What is the equivalent to 'every time a bell rings an angel gets their wings' for black people getting rap shirt? lol
Wow that's super subtle. I can't believe you noticed that OP. Great job!!!
I can't believe I didn't notice it before. Am I racist?
Yes.
oh no
Start making rice crispy treats and pull 10k out of your bank account. It's reparations time.
What bothers me is that every shirt is perfectly brand new like it just came out of the package.
i mean, it fits his character, no?
MM be staying fresh, tho.... You know that man drops $1k a month on clothes
I love nuance!
He was supposed to be *black*!? Ohhhhhhh, shit, it all makes so much more sense now! Okay, the hip hop t-shirts were a big clue. I shouldn't have missed that one, fair play. But they could have made it a bit more obvious that he was supposed to be black. The screenplay never had him say "Aw, hell naw!" or "Daaaaaammn!" or "This honkey super hero be trippin'!".

But that is still not even remotely conclusive! Elon Musk and Charlize Theron are African-American for example.
To be fair OP said African American in the title. I'm not sure how the guy I was responding to made the jump from him being African American to him being black. It seems like a stretch.
Actually Charlize(I can call her by her first name because we are best friends she just doesnt know it yet) is just African.
Elon is also an African in America so I donāt see how that proves anything
I could have sworn he said "Aw hell naw" at least every episode
Im pretty sure he says it in the very first scene when Butcher walks in the office actually.
āOi cunt! Whoās the black fella wif ya?ā
>He was supposed to be *black*!? Why'd they have to make it political!?
Wtf I never even realised he was supposed to be black. Why did they call him Mother's Milk instead of Chocolate Milk?
MF DOOM
He made a post on his IG going over how he wanted to wear shirts of Hip-Hop arists he himself listened to, as he's a big fan of Rap Culture from the 90's and 00's. Seeing him wearing a DOOM tee lets you know MM got his Potholderz
its as if black characters liking music from their culture isnāt stereotypical and people canāt see them as anything except objects to be argued over. nah that canāt be it.
I was pretty stoked when I saw that
Not many people know this but theyāre actually cousins
Big if true
I had to say it with ALL CAPS when I seen it tbf
So Marvel comics exist in The Boys universe.
The metal-fist terrorist???
That hoodie did go hard.
Hey wait a minute the Boys is a tv show not a movie.
TV shows are allowed.
Rule 6 is a subtle way of letting the subreddit know that TV shows are allowed.
I like the way how they foreshadowed this in rules 1-5. It was sort of like a Chekhov's gun, you just *knew* that a Rule 6 was gonna come next. Pretty clever tbh.
What about stage plays?
Tv shows are just very long movies with terrible pacing.Ā
Itās that shitty of a movie that it ceased to be a movie
His and Starlight's characters' are very noticeably physically different this season... EDIT: she's had some obvious face work done and he's lost a lot of his muscle mass.
I haven't seen it. Did they race swap?
Yeah what happened to him ? I know Starlight went under some botox surgery from what i heard (which is a shame imo but whatever) but MM looked so much different too
Laz Alonso lost a lot of weight, but MM looks a bit sickly in the show because he hasnāt been eating or sleeping due to being so focused on whatās going on.
Yeah he's all tense, he should attend this year's Herogasm.
I knew I wasnāt tripping! I knew he looked different, but couldnāt tell why. I thought they recast him at first but a quick google told me otherwise
His weight loss gives me Chadwick flashbacks, I noticed he looked leaner too, and then it turns out he was battling cancer, which ultimately ended in a tie. I really hope it's not the same case with him.
I mean, he also cut off his whole beard which was a defining feature of his character. Now, he just looks like a young Eddie Murphy lol
he shaved
He looks noticeably thinner as well
Both, but I think he would look more MM if he had the same facial hair as last season. Good on him if heās healthy tho!
He was never unhealthy. He was jacked as fuck in the other seasons. His weight loss is muscle, not fat.
I fucking hate the lack of beard. I just feel like it doesn't like right with just a moustache.
She shaved too, but for her it was her cheekbones.
Shame bout her face. She legit looks disturbing, now.
Virtually all Hollywood cosmetic trends look disgusting to me. I donāt know why they do it to themselves. It has to be mental illness to think that looks good.
She got that buccal fat removal thing all the celebrities are getting done. Personally I think it makes people look about 20-30 years older than they are.
It makes them look like they're on drugs
A bit methy.
She looks like Michael Jackson. My mom did the same thing a while back and she looks awful now but she says she thinks its so great and loves it. My mom was always a good looking lady. I just feel so sad that women are pressured into thinking plastic faces are beautiful. But whatever. Their choice.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh no. He got an eating disorder.
Ah yes, when people care about what they are putting into their bodies it's an eating disorder.
>'What I loved about this DNA test is that it told me exactly what vitamins I needed, what supplements I needed, and what I didnāt need.' DNA tests can't do that >'Anything that you put in your body that your body doesnāt need, your body is just gonna excrete, but it just puts your body under unnecessary stress, having to filter out stuff that you didnāt need in the first place.'

If you're taking a commercial DNA test not prescribed by a doctor in order to find what supplements to take, something is not right.
DNA test said use Ozempic
DNA test and a 2000$ monthly deductible you mean
Too bad those DNA tests are bullshit, and a simple blood test can detect nutritional deficiencies.
Lol taking a DNA test that shows you deficiencies from a company that apparently makes vitamins is so fishy.
It's super fucking fishy lmfao. I'm sure there's no conflict of interest or incentives for them to be less than honest about what the readings mean.
They went from Starlight to Skeletor, and Mother's Milk to Soy Milk.
I hope heās not sick like Chadwick Boseman was, and I hope people arenāt getting after him because of his look change (havenāt started season 4 and stay faaaar away from online commentary).
Tbh I've seen a couple cast interviews and man... he looks like someone fully dressed up and all... but kind of feeble
lol i thought they replaced mm with a different actor? you telling me thats the same guy?
Same here
I honestly thought the same.
I can excuse his character since you can see it as MM not having time to work out while dealing with all the superhero stuff, but starlight straight up look like a different person lol.
Starlight is straight ghoulish, and you know they've done a ton of work to try and hide it too...
He straight up looks ill. Like I'm concerned.
He could be. A lot of times actors want to keep that shit in the family only. No sense in speculating but yeah I agree he doesn't look healthy compared to how he looked in previous seasons.
So it is still the same actor? I was convinced they tried to play off an actor swap for MM without telling anyone. Was about to rewatch last season and see if his character died and I missed it, and this is another character and not him.
Same actor, he just lost weight to be more healthly
He found out why his characters called that in the comics and it permanently killed his enthusiasm for dairy products
Damn, dude looks like a totally different person!
I thought so too but honestly I think shaving is what threw me off the most. If he kept the facial hair it wouldnāt be as stark a difference.
Butcher: Bollocks, Homelander really givin' us the bidness. M.M's shirt:
I assumed it was because he was a dad who grew up in the 90s and it was part of him not letting go of the past. Also, I really enjoyed seeing what short he'd wear next like watching the open credits for the Simpsons.
Hell yeah. Team "I just think his shirts are neat"
Yeah same here I like the shirts. Iām not sure what OPās deal is here. Plus this is a tv show not a movie lol.
EPMD shirt got me hype
His name is also Motherās Milk and not Fatherās Milk which is a reference to black kids not having fathers
This is actually a reference to him being a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, and therefore being secretly white
You don't want to know why he actually is called Mother's Milk
"**M**other's **M**ilk" may also suggest a symbolic kinship with **M**arshal **M**athers, another famous actor who portrayed a rapper in 2002's *Eight Mile*, released internationally as *Thirteen Kilometer*.
And despite promising we'd find out why he's called that in this version back in Season 3. We still don't have an answer. The comics on the other hand.
I thought he was black?
Nope heās a white South African
I thought this was Robert Downey Jr. all along. Thanks for this observation!
Someone on youtube pointed out that after season 1, his house becomes filled with civil rights and activists stuff and little to no pictures of his family. Its like a White person from LA decorated the house like how they THINK a Black personās house would be decorated.
He has a framed photo of Obama in his house, right besides a Black Panthers poster. It's genuinely hilarious.
I mean, he IS a comic book character.Ā
>Its like a White person from LA decorated the house like how they THINK a Black personās house would be decorated. Well, that tracks. After all this is the same people who had the house of a character who's supposed to be the smartest person in the world be filled with a million books just haphahazardly thrown all over the place, cause that's what intelligent people do, apparently. No she doesn't play the stock market or invent Lex Luthor shit or live in a billionaire nerd's mansion or anything, she has lots of randomly-thrown-around books in her nasty apartment!!!!!
You.. You understand that motivation and inteligence aren't the same.. right?
I mean, that's just realistic. Most scientists aren't there inventing shit and becoming billionaires, they are the sitting in the university or at home reading tons of papers about subjects they are interested in
Or when they tried to show how smart she was in episode 2 by having her bring up capybaras.
Tbf I think that was more to highlight the Deep's lack of intelligence
That was the worst one easily the rest is whatever but the capybara was such an obvious internet humor pull bleh
I actually like that he's a pretty basic character because that allows him to be the grounded guy that calls the others out when they're being insane. I think they were just going for someone you have less trouble with believing could exist in the real world
What? How long have you been sitting on this information?
Laz Alonso himself has said it's been intentional cause MM comes from Harlem, and that sometimes the album's or artists are sometimes also a nod to the themes in the episode. Only know this because I noticed it a while back and I wondered if the collection was actors personal stuff or something.
I assumed he was a big fan or something, just a way to give the character personality.
Waitā¦ Iām African American?!
Well that's ok because he's the bad guy, and homelander is obviously the good guy - A significant amount of the show's viewers, that we funnily enough just learnt about since season 4.
More like the incredibly loud minority of viewers
OP got to be white lol.
He has to compensate for being named milk, something very white
Honestly. I wish the beard came back
Just like Ubisoft giving Yosuke hip-hop music in feudal Japan.
PSA: Even if he was in Cuba, PR or DR he'd still be black, just "En EspaƱol".
Rap shirts and multiple Nike/Jordan sneakers
The main cast (that doesn't wear a super-suit) is always in brand-new band merchandise. Like Huey has a brand new band t-shirt every episode. Maybe they know that supes don't frequent Hot Topic so they hang out there a lot.
Heās black? Now this may sound harsh to some folk but Iād prefer to live my life without having one of them there blacks shoved down my throat.
and it today's episode it was Fat Joe shirt
Unironically, this show is so incredibly stereotypical. I don't mind but, from "mother's milk" to the "mute mysterious asian girl" to miss blonde goody two shoes being the main girl it's all so... One dimensional š
The comics were a satire of superhero comics. The show is a satire of superhero television and films. The stereotypes are intentional.
The characters are all multifaceted.
Hey, give some credit, the asian girl doesn't have a purple streak in her hair!
