What does ek shaneesh mean

There are basically two verbs, both describing passive states: "I listened to X and read Y. He gives in to MacDonald's, tries to brag about it, admits he's in debt, tries to brag again, admits he's bourgeois he knows just a little too much about foreign cheeses. It's playful and vivid, whereas Song 1 is the graduate student version of a grocery list. Maybe Himanshu is growing out of consumerism, but there's no evidence of that in "NYC Cops," a track arguably "about" his record collection.

So, that's the background, and then the foreground is a sample from Jay-Z's "99 Problems," which is probably a better song, and which obeys that one old weird tip -- show, don't tell. I'm not going to defend either their drinking or the way they treated that woman who posted on Tumblr.

However, by any standard, these are infractions, not felonies -- and by rock star standards, they don't even merit a second glance. The girl was sexually assaulted, and if she pressed charges, I'd be on her side. At the same time, she clearly had no idea what she was doing. Was her theory that they really appreciated her thoughts and dreams, and invited her to the hotel room for a group reading of e. She bitches and moans about everything -- if I spent the night with an awesome rock group, and they dropped me off miles from my car, I wouldn't care at all.

I would actively support the use of illegal fireworks. Das Racist didn't steal her Adderall. Her claim about pretending to be dead seems over-the-top. Booze and weed might be the problem here, but we can't be sure of that merely because DR sing about using both. Hi Amardeep, thanks for writing this. Regarding the girl's harrassment, you use the term "unverified".

How is one to ever verify sexual harassment? Isn't it this idea of sysmetatically validating a trauma narrative that encourages victim-shaming and blaming? Isn't it also what makes millions of women keep their testimonies to themselves -- because they're asked to "prove", and how is one ever to prove without being absolutely humiliated or further traumatized?

Additionally, testimonies hitherto silent for the same reason emerged with respect to other bands: these experiences of young female fans being harrassed are not unique to Das Racist, but it became a big deal particularly because of the way women of colour trusted them for their presumed intersectional politics.

Just some thoughts; I of course, speak as a woman of colour who was a fan before I felt alienated and confused by the way the whole issue unravelled. Thanks again for writing this. Yeah, I'm likewise disgusted and disappointed with the group for the sexual harassment account, though perhaps not surprised. Aside from the lifestyle which Amardeep describes above, it's also true that people are capable of such behavior no matter how progressive the politics they espouse.

I'm hesitant to make pronouncements, though, on one side or the other, and generally appreciate when artists create -- and don't resolve -- such tension. See in particular the post about similar criticisms leveled against Thurber and White in the 20s and 30s , and my favorite James Levy's follow-up. Joesph quickly , thanks for those good points. I was ok with the namedropping in "Ek Shaneesh" and elsewhere because I saw it as evidence that DR were readers before they were rappers.

You've got me reconsidering "NYC cops. Also I felt it was valuable as a 'pure' and non-ironic at least not very ironic critique. DR and Himanshu talk about racism and white people a lot, but they don't actually make arguments about race very much. That song was one place where Heems went in that direction. We could actually do a lot more with interesting rhetorical moves in their lyrics -- they have a lot of brilliant moments -- but I didn't want this post to get too long Sharanya, I see your point and I've been torn about how to respond to this.

Maybe a better word than "verified" might be "corroborated". Ya beers for years Chucking shock a zulu types Beers for ears Shaquehdupweteh?
