revisiting The Devotchkas
When I first heard The Devotchkas, I liked them as much as the next suburban self-proclaimed punk in a post-punk era.
Don't know much about them, when they came about, but they're an all-female band, which I am all about and they have the tallest fucking mohawks I've ever seen on an angry white girl.
Their song titled "Sorry" was ironically unapologetic about not "giving a damn cuz I'm proud of what I am!" which I was down with.
Then there's "Hip Hop Kids"
"I hate hip hop kids, I hate their fucking noise
I hate the hip hop girls and i hate the hip hop boys
They want to stare you down when you're walking down the street
They want to have a laugh because your style doesn't meet
Hip hop music, what a laugh, god i hope that shit won't last
Baggy clothes, fucked up limp, they think its cool to act like a pimp
I hate hip hop girls
I hate hip hop boys
I hate hip hop kids
I hate hip hop noise
Way of life, there is no pride
Who fuckin cares if tupac died
I don't care, white or black, this song is not a racial attack
But i will still have my say, hip hop kids: go away!
Work a day of life, most of them have never heard of that
Government check, parents sitting home, getting fat
Don't give a fuck what you've got to say
Always with an attitude, when they pass they feel you should pay"
Are the Devotchkas white supremacists? My guess is, yes.
Nazi punks allll the way.
Apparently, their idea of hip hop is just as fucked up as their 'hawks.
"Baggy clothes, fucked up limp, they think it's cool to act like a pimp"?
Sweetie that is your white rich daddy's idea of hip hop.
These unconscious women do nothing offer the most blatant stereotypes about black people "government check, parents sitting home, getting fat...." The makers of "Precious", Daniel Patrick Moynihan, or even the KKK couldn't have said it better.
And just like any fucking racist, they thoughtfully include that "this song is no racial attack"
Obviously this song comes from a place of racism and blatant ignorance.
A great example of racism, hating, shit talking something that is strange to you, something you have no knowledge about.
Wow Devotchkas, you are punk rockers from the late 90s.
Angry white ladies, most likely from the suburbs, trying to play hard, calling out something you have NO clue about! Telling me "who cares if Tupac died" Tupac a revolutionary, a poet, a man who captivated the minds of young people (unlike you) and urged them to rise. How dare you?
You call yourselves punk rockers, but your shit is far from punk rock (and I'm not only talking about the timing 1996? Bad bad timing). I'm pretty sure you are injecting ignorance and racism into those who listen/have listened to you (I'm really hoping that number is really really small).
Have some substance!
