Yeah, I'm not gonna just say Twitter because there is a definite internet cultural difference between races of people on twitter esp "White Twitter" and "black twitter". "White Twitter" is dry and boring. And takes most of its jokes, memes, gifs etc from black people on Twitter.

Recently, a YouTuber named Samantha Harvey made an acoustic cover of “Work.” There’s nothing wrong with that on a surface level, as the YouTube acoustic scene has provided some impressive re-interpretations, but I feel like it’s also become a haven for kids who probably own 50+ Now That’s What I Call Music CDs to take insidious shots at Black music. Take this condescending “No Hands” cover, for instance, in which the singer announces he left in the song’s profanity to present “a juxtaposition between modern rap and folk music.”

Even when a “YouCoustic” singer is approaching a song from a serious perspective, I feel like they sometimes become unsettling, anglicized “now we can appreciate it” moments which highlight our cultural disconnect.

When Harvey subjected “Work” to that sonic vanilla-ing, then joked in the comments that she had to “translate” Rihanna’s patois accent, her decision leaned firmly into disrespectful territory. Equally insensitive are the people in the YouTube comments who marveled as if Harvey’s interpretation of Rihanna’s patois paralleled the unearthing of the “Shook Ones, Pt. 2” sample.
