Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Weirdly Kendrick doesn't talk a lot about (very) current events given his characterization as a conscious rapper. It always seems to come like 2+ years later

There's something to be said about him being the Obama of rap. But in fairness, not a lot of rappers are talking about Fred Hampton at all. He's better than the vast majority of rappers, and certainly the best who's at that level. Not a high bar to clear for sure, but it's important to keep things in perspective.

the Obama of rap

I thought that was Killer Mike

Killer Mike is the Obama of rap in the way we understand Obama now, Kendrick might be the Obama of rap in the way most people looked at Obama 6 years ago.

Yeah I wasn't necessarily expecting one, but for some reason I hoped he would at least have something considering... everything. He got close in Not Like Us just wish he would connect it all. Definitely wasn't expecting it to come from drake.
