Reminds me of the soul themed Hebb dinnerI went to at Neumos that featured fried chicken (and no hot sauce) with a refreshing watermelon salad. I sat next to a talkative, worldly white lady who kept wanting to touch my hair. Good ol NW cluelessness.
better? or worse?
You mean, like, the rap industry itself?
Why doesn't the stranger just repost tumblr? it would be easier than paying "writers" like this.
Also, from what I guess is the "press release" you speak of:
"Chef Eric Donnelly gets a chance to combine old school hip-hop and stellar food in his brunch specials, which is basically his dream come true."
Which really makes me wonder why you'd read this brunch as white ignorance rather than a tribute.
Would you have written the same story if a black-owned restaurant wanted to serve brunch to Peking Opera and had dishes named 'Sheng's Hush Puppies' or 'Fried Jing Chicken'?
What a stupid way to try and stir up controversy. You're entitled to an opinion but to attempt to pin racism on a business that clearly is not attempting to capitalize on race or racial issues is just ignorant. I second Cliche's comments above.
Rap <> Hip-Hop.
Problematic = I am vaguely offended about something but am too lazy to say exactly what it is. Plz follow me on tumblr.
A Tumblr hat trick, if not bingo. I'm unsure if brunch should count as four, but congrats all the same.
I ask because I don't feel I'm in a position to gauge how offensive this is, being a white dude and all. And while my gut says if you have to wonder, don't go there, I also wonder if presuming offense is not itself a bit patronizing?
The KRS-ONE should be beans, rice, and bread. On a shelf.
"Fuck the regular, yo as I get better the
bitches wanna trick and go stupid up on the dick
So I get 'em hot, thinkin they're gonna get it
As they sit, rubbin their legs like a cricket
To you it may be funny, but
there's no service of beef, without money
So slip the C-note, and you can choke
on a wing-ding-ding-a-ling down your throat
Foreplay; to me ain't shit
When you spread 'em I'm ready, then you can get the dick
of the Eaze, if you can deal with the size" etc.
If only RockCreek had not appropriated hip hop culture, or at least had better timing about it, these tragic stains on American society would have been fixed shortly.
Americans at large were just on the precipice of enlightenment to the struggles evinced by the lyrical stylings of NWA and Public Enemy, from which, after so many long centuries, the system of racial injustice would surely be torn asunder, and from which a more just society could have arisen.
But lo, RockCreek did thwart the noble march of history with their hip hop brunch menu.
Trolls will be trolls. If you knew the chef at all you would be ashamed of yourself. Good luck lady.
that said, i know what ATCQ WOULD'NT eat for breakfast...
Your outrage @ Rock Creek's brunch menu is misplaced and pathetic. Thanks, -The Rest of Seattle.
Also, echo @aypobrecita. For sure. Ego-based ignorance at it's finest.
But good for you, Miss Garbes, for stating your opinion. That's what's supposedly so great about America, ja?
Seriously, music, and all art for that matter including food, is created to share with other people. All people, not just a subset. Have you checked out the demographic of Public Enemy's listeners? I suppose by the logic of this article that Chuck D must be pissed that all these white kids came to their concerts and exploited their art.
Congratulations Eric for putting your neck out their and sharing your love of Hip Hop/ Rap/whatever with your customers. To some, it adds an unexpected dimension to your mind of a chef, but to most, I believe it makes you human, capable of having influences from ALL cultures, and celebrating them in the way that means the most to you. Bravo for being a true artist.
