[Mixtape] DJ Synapse pres. Outstanding: Charlie Wilson & The Gap Band’s Hip Hop Legacy

Nice! Some of you young ‘uns might only know the name Charlie Wilson as the government name for Uncle Charlie, a frequent recent collaborator of Kanye West on his recently acclaimed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album and G.O.O.D. Friday series of free tracks at the end of last year. But before that, this veteran performer had a long legacy of great funk/R&B music with the Gap Band that has been well-appreciated and sampled by the hip hop creative community as this DJ Synapse mixtape ably demonstrates.

[Video] Is the Pepsi MAX® ‘Love Hurts’ Super Bowl Ad Racist (or Sexist)?

Via TheLoop21.com:

“Pepsi’s aptly title ‘Love Hurts’ commercial for Pepsi Max features a dark skinned black woman who keeps violently ‘touching’ her man in an extreme effort to control his diet, for his own good of course. The guy merely suffers the abuse as he is kicked (ha ha), shoved face down in a pie (ha ha ha) and slapped in the mouth with a bar of soap as he hides in the tub trying to eat an outlawed doughnut (ha ha ha ha). In the final sequence, the guy sits on a bench drinking a Pepsi Max on the sly when his all seeing woman appears and gives him a brief reprieve; Zero calorie Pepsi Max is on the allowable consumption list. Unfortunately, smiling goofily and dreamily at a random blond white woman isn’t so the black woman moves to strike him, misses, and knocks out the innocent white woman.”

Sorry, I know I’m late on this but I’ve had to watch most of the Super Bowl ads at the official Youtube channel or on Crash the Super Bowl because in Canada we actually didn’t see most of the Super Bowl ads in real time because, even if you watched the US feed of the game, they switched out the ads for Canadian ones and many of the brands did not buy time up here. That alone deserves a WTF??!, never mind this ad.

But as far as this ad goes, what y’all think?
