Pitchfork apologizes for interviewing Chief Keef at a gun range

Im gonna steal my man gator_king's term "Urban Fantasy" for a minute here.
They OD on the "Urban Fantasy" aspect of dudes like Keef and want to portray their legitimacy and relevance by interviewing Keef in a very raw setting. Chief Keef shooting guns and mumbling nonsense is being juxtaposed with stories on fukking John Cage and REM lol...
I mean I understand it to a degree. Why interview Bruce Lee in a studio, when you can interview him in a dojo practicing? BUT then dont apologize when the "fantasy" becomes reality and you have to put your foot in your mouth. You are a music journalist, and he is supposed to be an "artist". Its one thing to interview a military dude in that setting, but for a rapper that is "about that life" or wtv and has actual dirt on his name now, its kind of in bad taste

Maybe I shouldn't ask what Pitchfork do wrong. But what did they do thats different? What makes this situation any different than the thousand other gangster rappers and trappers that we seen already?
People have been getting murdered forever and rappers having been selling that same old "urban fantasy" forever. The only difference now is that Keef is slightly younger and we can connect the dots a little bit closer between the songs and the violence.
Lil Boosie is technically a murderer too. Would it be wrong for the media to promote any future Boosie projects?
no...but interviewing him in a columbian coca plant field would be just as awkward and inappropriate
Not promoting Boosie cause hes a felon would be some ho shyt for sure. But Im talking about INTERVIEWING a dude who is currently doing dirt at a GUN RANGE
I know Keef is no different than the others, but in 2012 we know WAY MORE than we should about his life, and more than before, the "fantasy" is a pretty apparent reality
They can review him, promote him and interview him all they want. My issue is with them capitalizing off of his image by doing an interview at a gun range, when dude is being linked to actual murders. Thats bad publicity for everyone involved
Exactly it looks worse cuz of the timing and the age thing and cuz Pitchfork is run by and for hipster clowns that need to be slapped.
But thats only the tip of the iceberg. At the end of the day the majority of the money being made in ALL hip hop is white people exploiting the "urban fantasy". People are mad now cuz it looks extra bad this time...but its always bad.
fukk Pitchfork, once shyt hits the fan thats when they want to apologize

White America has always had an affinity - better yet - a fetish, with black death and violence.

True, America was founded on bloodshed. But when it comes to blacks, it's like a weird mix of fear and curiosity which makes it different.
Interscope records only signs rappers who have the potential to have a large adverse effect on the black community. The label is for large scale demons only.
Its so demonic, friends.
