Another Tuesday, another comic update from us kind folks here at Loveless. I’m your favorite cherub drawing artist, here to take you through another journey of the Lovezone. I’m kidding. Just wanted to sound like one of those cool radio personalities. You know, the ones that play the music all soft when it gets late and have the deepest voice known to man. I’m hoping by the age of, Iono, 38 or so, I hit this late stage of puberty just to sound like one of those guys. All Barry White like and shit. I’d use my new found powers, to […]

Hey guys! Gonna keep it short and sweet tonight because it’s fucking 4am. I don’t know about you all but daylight savings time may or may not have fucked me up a little. That mixed with my perfectionist ways have me up way too late considering I’m on daddy duty in the mornings. But it’s all worth it for the next installment of the tale. Now we see what Angel does in his routine to utilize his gift to some degree. He actually gets to perform as a DJ at New Terminus’ hottest club… Well almost. Personally when I do go […]

By now, I’m sure many of you are familiar with the scandal surrounding the Oklahoma chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, whose members were caught on camera leading the racist chant “you can hang him in a tree, but he’ll never sign with me; there will never be a nigger SAE,” and the subsequent video of the fraternity’s 79-year-old house mother gleefully spouting the n-word with Trinidad James’ “All Gold Everything” playing in the background. Aside from pretty much ruining “If You’re Happy and You Know It” for everyone, the controversy has also reignited the national debate surrounding the n-word and […]

Loveless Sociology

Mar 10 2015

Rapper Azealia Banks has announced she is giving up Twitter for Lent, and her online feuds likely had more than a little influence on Iggy Azalea and Lupe Fiasco spurning the social media platform as well. Like Kanye West before her, the 212 rapper is also beginning to gain a reputation as a “ranter” (a term like “crazy” that is usually dismissive), despite the fact that she normally says some pretty real shit. She has been very outspoken about racial politics and the issues surrounding cultural appropriation (issues that are inextricably linked to her beef with Iggy Azalea), and was even moved to […]

Last week, Langston Wilkins published an article on Iggy Azalea in the Washington Post stating that “hip-hop is no longer a culture owned by black Americans.” And he might be right. White people now account for up to 75% of hip-hop album sales in the United States, so it should come as no surprise that as the influence of hip-hop has diversified, so too have its key players. This is likely the reason that Lupe Fiasco defended Iggy Azalea this past December by asserting that she “has a place in hip-hop.” He sees the changing demographic landscape of the genre’s influence […]
