Today on Rawkblog Presents: Clayton Purdom, Colin McGowan and I explore the limits of humor in hip-hop and R&B, from Turquoise Jeep to R. Kelly to Kanye West. Where’s the line between humor and satire? Why is rap so much funnier than indie rock? Is it funny when Yeezy raps about the Holocaust? Why isn’t it funny when Childish Gambino raps about his feelings? All these questions answered, mostly.
