Wow, this song goes hard. I love it. Can’t find it on Tidal, so definitely something is up. Tidal rarely is missing songs.
So it is, thanks! I just assumed it wasn’t when I went to the artist and just saw his 2023 album.
It is definitely on Tidal. I can shoot the link if you want it.
Oh lawd he back. Just when the world needed him most
The video is easily findable on YouTube, it’s shows up both in search and on his official page.
Everyone know there would have been a lot of unhappy people with trump election. The government knows too, expect them to try to do everything in their power to try to contain protests.
Pretty good video. I fuck with this song’s energy.
Let’s be sure to support the creators who speak up. The song is pretty good, video is chilling. Sharing with the people I normally send music suggestions with
How’s it being censored?
Not cynical, I believe that. But I’m genuinely curious about specifics. Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?
You have to sign in to see it and it’s really hard to find on youtube even if you’re signed in. I had a hard time finding an open version of it. It’s not outright banned, just really hard to access.
Not logged in, and the first two of my results were this video. I was able to watch it.
I’m all for calling out censorship when it happens, but lets not make an issue when one doesn’t exist.
Please share the links, that would be great if that’s true.
Nice, the non-official version.
The translation from spanish in the description:
After the Hinds Hall saga, which last year caught the world’s attention and motivated all the militancy, the rapper Macklemore has just released a new video called Fucked up. The translation would be something like enough, but to make a more accurate translation and with the insulting element in Creole, the expression would mean something like “Inflated the balls”. The video shows the social weariness with all the succession of abuses in this dystopian global model. It expresses very recent elements since Trump’s inauguration, such as Elon Musk’s gesture, the mobilizations against ICE (the agency that deports migrants), the social dramas in the United States and the genocides in Gaza, Sudan, or Congo. With images of mobilizations but also of tremendous situations, the video also harshly attacks the hegemonic media, the cultural industry and censorship on social networks.
It’s available on his official page as well. This video isn’t being censored.
I found it just by searching for it. It was very easy to find. And of course, anyone subscribed to Macklemore would have gotten a notification about it as well.
YouTube recommended it to me in my sidebar a few days ago. I imagine the curse word in the title has more to do with the algorithmic suppression than the actual content.
Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?
Yes, that’s modern censorship. The owners of social media get to decide how viral a piece of content will be.
This is why when you make a new X account it pushes right-wing conspiracy nonsense. Or why Palestinian topics don’t gain traction.
The manipulation of social media to control what you see and hear is invisible. Some people, topics and keywords can be deprioritized and others boosted and nobody can know the extent except the people that own the social media companies.
The Social Dilemma and The Great Hack go into the nuts and bolts of how people are profiled so that content can be targeted at them as well as how political outcomes are driven by the manipulation of social media, they’re on Netflix.
He’s just rapping headline news. Not my type of artist, but anyway to send a message is good. Especially if it upsets MAGA.
Wonder what Immortal Technique or Paris is doing these days 🤔
He said a naughty word! Won’t anybody think of the children?
Thank you for sharing, that’s great.
It’s facing heavy censorship because the title is “fucked up”. Every video to come out in the last decade knows to title it “f*cked up” so it doesn’t get demonetized. But he doesn’t care because people will talk, and it’ll make it more know.
If the art makes them upset, it’s telling the truth.
It’s funny to me that anyone is reporting this. It’s obviously your comm lol Eff’em.
The Emoji Movie made people upset. Was it telling the truth to power?
The what now?
The emoji movie. The one that sucks. Upsetting people isn’t proof of being correct. If it was, drag would be the wisest person on all of Lemmy.
… you’re referring to the emoji movie as art? Your ability to take Tele’s sentence and completely butcher the concept and wording is more art than that movie could ever dream of being.
In regards to the reports, I started this community up for myself to keep track of the real things happening that hopefully avoids the distractions of what trump or his fellow baddies say. I’m using what little voice I have to share a political song that is getting censored. You can call me a power tripping bastard and I’ll say yeah, probably. I’ve seen your complaints.
Honestly, hip hop probably only exists because of politics.
Lol people are reporting this?
Sorry the politically motivated censorship of a political song isn’t politics enough.
I just meant this to be a note to my regular users, I never expected it to go to the front page. It sounds way more dramatic than I intended, lol.
Thank you for posting an alternative link! I had to resort to screen recording to post it due to YouTube’s age restriction.
Here is a link without restriction
I was never really a fan but Macklemore is on it these days. Power to the people.
It’s on YouTube 🤷
Damn. I don’t like Macklemore and now I feel like I have to listen to this track.
It goes hard, worth a listen.
Dude I don’t like the majority of his stuff but that vid gave me chills. If you’re feeling the frustration and rage by the bullshit this administration is pulling, that vid is a balm to your soul.
I get that you probably didn’t mean much by it but don’t let if be “a balm to your soul” let it inspire you to action and speaking up against this regime.
Just because it’s good to know you’re not alone in your feelings doesn’t mean your complacent.
You should.
Its worth it whether youre into his music or not
