0:09- It's pronounced X-X-X-ten-tah-she-on
(He does address his "thesis statement" of the video at 0:34, but I'll address these as we go along here)
0:53- This is probably one of the only points I can kind of agree with him on. It is odd that his video isn't age-restricted (as of September 14th, 2017) with the amount of adult topics the video covers. However, I wouldn't pin the blame on X for this, more likely it's his publishers preventing the video from being demonitized. Thus, he should be more mad at his publishers and YouTube than X himself.
1:30- X has stated that Look at Me is one of his least favorite pieces because it doesn't reflect who he is. He only had Look at Me at the start to lure in others who only know him through this song.
1:36- And like I mentioned, while the Look at Me portion was to be click-bait into his actual music, I think if you're going to click-bait for the sake of delivering a positive message, then I see it as a good practice rather than for the sake of publicity for money (e.g., Sam Pepper). Riot wasn't made to be controversial for the sake of being so. X wanted to deliver the message that supremacy is wrong regardless of skin color.
2:07- Excuse me? "Violent tendencies" isn't what this is. It's like saying the Twisted Sisters made I wanna Rock to deliver the message that all high school teachers should be blown up with a hand-grenade. This portion of the music video does mirror I Wanna Rock somewhat with the rebellion of the higher ups through ridiculous means. And No Bullshit along the lines of those Conservative Christians in the 80s who said that the Twisted Sisters were really explicit and not for children. I just feel a sense of deja vu listening to No Bullshit on this part.
3:01- If you only wanted to laugh and have fun, then why even cover X's video? You could have simply ignored it, or if you really had to just make a Tweet chain summing up your thoughts about it. Also the footage of those girls exercising you show is kind of distracting at points. Sure you may like it, but why not show drone footage of mountain scenery, or even a city? But that's probably why you don't, to hide your horrible arguments in front of, "Look, bewbz!"
3:09- Again, X dislikes those sorts of things (probably excluding hitting someone with a dildo, since anyone who has played Saints Row 3 in the past would agree), but he wants to for the sake of delivering a message he likes. After all, that's why 17 exists. To show the world what's going on in his head.
3:38- Here he discusses about how he doesn't want to show the Felando shooting and readdresses how Youtube didn't demonitize the video. Which I can agree that Felando was in the wrong, but again why not skip it if you already addressed it in the past? Just say, "He brings up the Felando case, and I already covered it in another video." and move on.
Also nice move with "cause he's black." Not like only white people get demonitized. :dumb:
(He then goes on to show the other re-enactments. Which makes you wonder why he even bothered to say why he wouldn't show the Felando shooting footage)
4:43- Yeah, let's have all rap songs have a constant structure to them that creates a bland, unoriginal ecosystem of songs. Sure, it's a great fallback when making pop songs, but that's not what X's songs are, they are rap. Rap focuses mainly on the flow and rhyme scheme of each line, and how those lines can impact the listener. And while they may sometimes follow this constant structure (and some are good with it), not all artists have to go with this structure to create a good song. X has a good vocal range, and good writing skills to boot. He does have talent, and for the most part, he's using it quite well.
4:49- Well then, if you don't understand what he's saying, go look up the lyrics. It's not that hard to Google "XXXTentacion Riot lyrics" after all. Just goes to show how much effort you actually put into these videos. Also, while you say this adds to your point of "X is a horrible rap artist", Eminem's Rap God was also hard to understand when he reached the part where he was rapping extremely fast. Does that mean Rap God is a horrible song? Absolutely not. You can just go and look up the lyrics if you want to understand fully what he was wanting to deliver.
6:05- Again, if it ain't your "cup of tea", then why even cover it?
6:08- If you were to look up X's past, you would see that he doesn't support the violence of anyone, regardless of skin color. He doesn't have a "chip on his shoulder" for white people or cops.
6:34- Now to address this part of X's video. The purpose of hanging the white kid was to play devil's advocate. He wanted to show that it is fucked up as much as the situations shown before. And to say that putting the blame on the next generation because of what the generations did before is wrong as well. That's why they are shown as kids, rather than adults. In other words, it's supposed to fucked up for the purpose to shock others to deliver the message that killing is wrong, especially if it's for skill color.
6:46- Another nice buck shot there. Yeah, No Bullshit has no idea on what rap culture is and symbolism.
7:47- And that's the same rhetoric X is going against you dumb ass.
7:52- Technically, nah. His grandmother raised him. Make a joke that's actually correct next time.
7:56- And again, he is against Black Lives Matter. He stated that himself.
8:25- He brings up a Black-on-white incident a few seconds later. Let X actually finish that portion before you go on ranting on how he's a "BLM supporter".
10:00- Okay now you're just being a fucking asshole. Instead of picking on how he's being "an edgy teen", actually address his points and realize that, "Hmm, maybe he isn't a support of these extremist movements."
10:35- There's something called implying. While he doesn't directly state it, he does assume that the audience knows that blacks can be replaced with any other race, which while can be a bad idea it's not that much to process. And he also addresses the other insulting words like spics and faggot used out of malice in that same song.
10:57- No, his songs aren't meant to be fun. They're meant to be educational and thought provoking. Reading Plato's Republic isn't fun for most, but it does engage a discussion.
11:19- No Bullshit also hasn't heard of what an EP is.
11:30- X isn't trying to be The Beatles. He isn't wanting to write songs for the sake of romance.
11:52- So here's also where I sort of agree with No Bullshit. X does have anger issues. But he's also apologized in the past for those outbursts from what I've viewed (and if anyone wants to counter-point me, then do it). And if the recent accusations are proven true, which I hope isn't then case, then X might need some help with his life. But as it is, he isn't a bad person. He's actually well-spoken as has been proven on multiple twitter videos he does, one of which detests the Dear White People series.
And I thought alpha males aren't supposed to fear this type of stuff. Especially arguing against feminists and left-wingers.
