A dragon rider is basically a little fella who occasionally jumps off the dragon's back and goes into little places the dragon couldn't get and if they're REALLY cool they jump off the dragon and attack their enemies. It's like a rat you can carry on your shoulder and throwing it at your enemies. Same stuff.

exactly. a dragon is both the vehicle and the driver you're just the passenger. it's like if your uber driver was a house sized fire breathing lizard.

darkest.hue: Trigger warning: mentions of extreme violence against women and girls

Part 1/3 (more content to come on this matter)

Note: Although it should go without saying, here are some obvious truths: hip-hop the genre is not innately violent and misogynistic and neither are Black man. Also, hip-hop is not the only genre with abusive men, and the music industry is not the only industry in entertainment with abusive men.

For years now, Black women have been calling for hip- hop to have its "Me Too" reckoning (see recommended readings). Calls have recently reignited following singer Cassie's civil lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Diddy, where she alleges years of r*pe, domestic violence, and sex tr*fficking.

Many were rightfully stunned, horrified, and heartbroken by Cassie's vulnerable account, with many demanding the entire industry be finally held accountable for its pattern of violence against women. But is any of this really that surprising when we consider the way mainstream hip-hop talks about women, particularly Black women? Is it all that surprising when we consider the toxic loyalty and blind allegiance male rappers have to each other? Or the wealth of resources these men have at their disposal to control and harm women all the while flying under the radar? Or the world's disregard for the safety and protection of their Black women/girl victims?

Let's discuss.

Eminem and Weird Al did a collab. Can’t remember what specifically it was about but it was fast, like the fast parts of Rap God and Hardware Store had a baby.
