Last year Kendrick Lamar published Not Like Us, diss and "summer song". He won the same conflict with Drak, a rap device that has ruled charts for over a decade. It was only a substance of time before Polish artists remembered rap agonists And to blame your colleagues for all kinds of things. This year's August brought about an eruption of conflicts not seen for many years: Bedoes exchanged "kindies" with Eripe and Tede with this kind of Mes. This included random statists.
On what determines the success of rap pashquil, there can be long disputes: from the foundation by environmental credibility to the power of arguments or exposed by the opponent of hooks. In a permanent crisis of U.S. street violence, beefs and dissy frequently go beyond recording studios. This was besides the case in the case of the 27-year-old Bedoes conflict and the decade of older Eripe, who in late July clashed physically under the hotel in Kolobrzeg. It was the finale of the many years between the rappers themselves, but besides their teams – 2115 and Patokalipsa.
Tede vs Mes, Bedoes vs Eripe
The series presented by the authors of the works-chambers is hard to treat as the peaks of the aesthetics – Bedoes himself in the bombastic, best in the full clash Helicopters on fire I declare that “this beef doesn't make sense due to the fact that you're gonna compression me from a fat man, I don't want to compose songs about alcoholism.” However, in a akin political and social reality, we could draw any interesting conclusions from it, just like – or even to a greater degree – the clash between Ted and Mes.
The last 2 at first sight do not disagree that much. These are native Warsawers debuting in a akin period as PO and PiS, children of high-class parents (Tedy's father is simply a longtime head of the Office of the Constitutional Court, Mes' father – surgeon). However, the essence of rap clashes against insults is to put yourself in a polar position different from the opponent and its glorification. Therefore, Mes accuses Ted of deficiency of offspring (which is rather ironic in the context of the full career of an artist who praises “alcopolygamy” and the title of the album Bukowski), cycling and playing with resoraks, and Tede Mes – that's due to the fact that it's all due to the fact that he's "going female up the ass."
Bedoes, associated with modern rap, melodious and non-violent effects, abandoned Eripe with deficiency of respect for fans, limited honorary abilities, and drunkenness. The opponent responded with criticism of disorder, treating rap like business and simultaneously mocking people at work. Both creators thus execute worldview fickles in the themes of therapy, parenting and maturity. They have different visions of music itself. – Bedoes prefers progressive and youth rap, Eripe – conservative and trueschool rap.
It is hard to imagine that the conflicts widely debated on social media lead to greater migration of electorates – the 40th-century supporters of Eripe inactive like verbal games on classical loops, Mesa fans – combining advanced culture with G-funky music, Ted's ultras – improvised and known for over a 4th of a century the nonchalance of a erstwhile associate of the Warszafski Rain, and bedoesiary – catchy choruses, emotional explanation and versatility of the 2115 leader.
However, each of the artists recalled their own base to a lesser or greater degree – in any cases, the best form has been written for years. The audience felt blood, and threats and insults allowed any to exit the algorithmic vacuum, in which musicians could sooner or later find themselves regardless of their iconic status.
If there's no difference...
It most likely would not happen to me to reconstruct these ridiculous, in fact, disputes of a serious audience active in the repair of the Republic, with an anxiety looking at the progressive fascism of the country. But even a brief follow-up of reports from Poland during the vacation led me to see analogies between the rap beefs and the conflict of ideas on the political stage.
After his swearing in, Karol Nawrocki, his opponents reached for a well-known arsenal of charges in the case of Byzantine expenses for the work of his law firm, a luxury car for the head of state, initials embroidered on cuffs sewn to the size of shirts. She besides got the first woman to fall victim to cross-party sexist remarks on her appearance, dress, or résumé.
Why does Nawrocki, who, despite a comparatively short presence in national politics, is hard to respect as a man without the qualities, views and political lines, proceed to provoke attacks of experts from the savoir vivre alternatively than substantive arguments of competition? As shown by his first period of presidency, and especially a series of vetoed laws in fresh days – most likely due to the fact that there is no dramatic difference between PO and Law and Law and Justice.
After questioning the payment of 800+ to non-working war refugees from Ukraine, it was recalled that this was a request which, in January, at the first signals of the run of a breath of breath, was reported by Rafał Trzaskowski and supported by Prime Minister Tusk. small of that – erstwhile the Episcopate encouraged parents not to let children to participate in optional wellness education classes in the coming school year, he besides utilized the gate, which he lifted tactically the president of Warsaw a fewer months ago.
But let's not bully a second-place winner in the presidential race – examples of a duplicate approach to politics can be multiplied. The Minister of Culture Marta Cienkowska, together with the manager of the Museum of Polish past Marcin Napiórkowski, invited to an exhibition dedicated to priest Popiełuszka a fewer days ago. Cienkowska herself is facing a chronic crisis connected with the activity of the Witold Pilecki Institute of Solidarity and Fortitude, and no 1 but the anti-Polish freaks would dare to say that the problem is the existence of the institute itself – a martyrdom embassy, whose aim is to wait over the large sadness of the PiS's word of office in opposition by the political historical staff of the Kaczyński Party.
“The place has fallen, the reconstruction of the Saski Palace is starting”, she reported a fewer days ago “Rzeczpospolita”. On the next occasion, the Prime Minister from the PO and the president from the Law and Justice Office bid to engage in the construction of the CPK. Let me remind you that these are not at all flagship coalition ideas on October 15. The president besides announced a veto for an increase in sugar taxation or excise duties on alcohol, which during his reign was planned by PiS. Platform politicians say it is irresponsible, so in consequence they began to draw statements from opposition times erstwhile they beat in tarabans "the scope into the pockets of Poles". Of course, PiS and PO scope into the pockets of average Poles, due to the fact that they are frightened of reaching into the pockets of the richest Poles. The points of view depend on the place in the Sejm bench, but the overall course is subject only to insignificant corrections alternatively than a thorough revision.
Left of national consent
It is hard to be surprised: both major Polish parties have post-solidarity, right-wing pedigree, both hatred migrants and love entrepreneurs, both fall pastry in front of Catholic priests and profess a kitschy nationalistic imagination of history. any time ago, I watched on X a discussion about what has worsened in Poland since the 1990s. The unexplained explicité there thesis was that since the transformation-pre-EU Bida and force everything has been going solely for good, so most criticisms of politicians will melt distant like tears in the rain.
Even the left-wing bubble, for a long time equipped to turn a blind eye on worldview issues and hide in its pockets its eccentric needs in the kind of abortion of fetuses conceived as a consequence of rape or the creation of a relation with a individual of the same sex, against the acquis III of the Polish Republic has mainly the argument of housing crisis.
An argument of no importance, yes – but is adequate to anticipate that the sending of Kaczyński and Tusk to retire, as proposed by Adrian Zandberg, will dramatically change the rituals, customs and convictions of the Polish authorities? 3 months after Together announced that fresh associate States were slamming doors and windows, there was not much to see in the form of fresh policy ideas, which were not much in the run either. Also, polls do not give large hope of bringing anyone into another parliament.
In the meantime, Paulina Matysiak takes the lead at Nawrocki's rallies and lobbies for CPK, which everyone wants to build anyway. The tragic duet of Biedron-Smish praises the picturesque Brussels “anti-Bander” policy of the Tusk Government, which consists in deporting teenagers to Ukraine for “suspecting possession” of alcohol or rac. It's impossible to imagine anyone trying to challenge always more primitive, gutless, conservative familialism as a model of functioning in society. Even The Left Government Initiative At the centre, they place household or the strength of institutions, and another models of communityism mention to progressive lame.
Therefore, I would alternatively go back to Bedoes's disses than to summertime and tiny political spins, who takes his own throat off with a commitment worthy of a better cause, slapping grievances in an older "rival". Is Ted, who already in the first conviction of the attack on Mesa comic “Mes 10 Type/ I never liked mends to me”). due to the fact that even if the differences between the authors of each dissertation are artificially exaggerated, they do not leave a large field for Hamletizing – you are either with us or against us.
"Wet for vet, retaliating the world" – Karl Marks muttering while writing another fiery pole with his opponents, putting down writing indefinitely Capital. Today Poland is the opposite. The God-fathered consensus of solidarity trust takes in defence – whether it is against Western quirks or against Poles and Russians accused equally of flagrant Ukrainians or dying on the border refugees – Polish families and Polish bread on the Polish table. It prevents germination and the movement of fresh ideas.
The polls keep Polish parties in a reactionary grip. Nobody reports ideas that would not be tested on public opinion. Therefore, the 2 largest parties do not disagree besides drastically in the exercise of power, Confederates will be happy to meet with them at the beer, the Chataki at the rally, and the Left – at the household and Deportation Centre. But I besides have no illusions: a decade after the celebrated “Poland in ruin” which helped PiS scope power for 8 years, having an antagonistic, differentiated communicative inactive the easiest to delegate to this party. Without a polarizing counteroffer, it will be hard to convince anyone that her return to power is more than a fewer staff changes in Warsaw's central institutions.
