LOS ANGELES — Legendary metal musician, and noted septuagenarian, Ozzy Osbourne broke new ground when he became the first old white man to complain about a rap song and actually be on the right side of history.
“This is the first time we’ve ever seen a person of Ozzy’s age, wealth status, and complexion complain about a rap song or artist and actually be correct. Especially when they say it in an all-caps Tweet,” said music scholar Aiden Lawrence
Exactly, this should be on /c/nottheonion@lemmy.world, or one of the other Not The Onions.
Yeah it has a funny headline but is 100% accurate. T-Pain’s cover is awesome and he shared the tweet:
Legendary rapper T-Pain had a completely different experience with Osbourne on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this year.
“I sang on a cover of ‘War Pigs’ at The Sun Rose and Ozzy tweeted at me saying it was the best cover he had ever seen and wishes we had called him. Hell, I wish I had his phone number. I would have loved to share the stage with him,” said T-Pain. “But I’ll admit when I first saw he had tweeted at me I full expected a racist rant, but it couldn’t have been further from the truth. Ozzy is a real one.”
I don’t think either of you understand the point of the article. The subject being satirized in this article are people who use hip hop/rap criticism as a dog whistle for their racism. Not Ozzy Osbourne. They’re using an actual story to satirize racist dog whistles. So no, it doesn’t belong in c/nottheonion. It’s 100% satire.
Ok
The Hard Times is satire, literally the same thing as The Onion but another publication. This is the place for it.
The story is true though, it’s not satire.
