There are uncountable shitty beers in Europe. France has not a single one that can regarded as halfway decent, Swiss beer (forgive me my dear Swiss friends) are all unbelievably terrible, Italian beers are crap (yes, of course this includes Peroni), Spain doesn't have good beer. Hell, there even are some shitty beers in Germany. I wouldn't touch a Becks with a barge pole on the hottest day of the year.
On the other hand I've had really nice to amazing beers in the US. I don't buy into the IPA craze, to me that's all just terribly unbalanced stuff that will give you an ulcer if consumed in quantity and after all, that's what beer is made for.
A solid, mid level beer like this would give many overrated Euro brews a run for their money in a blind tasting and I had many other great local beers in upstate NY:
These are some personal favorites. Funny enough they're all from Louisiana, judged by my wife and I after zigzagging the US on 2 occasions covering a total of 20.000 miles and making an good effort to try as many local brews as possible:
The Andygator is not for any occasion but sometimes perfect: A hefty doppelbock, fullbodied and slightly sweet which makes it the perfect companion for spicy food like boiled crawfish... hmmmm...
A few interesting points made there, some of which I agree with. Not sure the swipe at Azealia Banks was strictly necessary, although she really ought to think about dialing down the whole "beef-seeking missile" aspect of her persona.
"She is, at a minimum, from Harlem, though that doesn???t mean what it used to, either."
what the hell does that mean?
I think the writer is saying that being "from Harlem" used to connote authenticity, because Harlem was--in the public imagination, at least--pretty exclusively black. Now that whiteys are moving in, there's perhaps a growing sense that Harlem is less authentic for it (see also "from Brooklyn"). Blame Bill Clinton.
But yeah, that "Thrift Store" shit is the worst, man.
DJed a jam for the African American Studies department at the university tonight. Most requested songs were "The Wobble," "The Wop," "Run The World (Girls)" and "Thrift Shop."
I think you (okay, okay...US) old ass fools are the ones who need to leave Hip Hop alone.

There's a joke somewhere in here about AZ, MLK Jr's birthday, and an African American studies department that loves them some Macklemore
no backpackpreaching here
basically categorization the song is pop and should be charted as such
if he wants to channel slug for the rest of the album that's fine
do they not even bother to throw token black dudes in these videos now

Again, this fool has already ruined SXSW and it's still weeks away.
Last night, upon hearing Mr. Brightside by the Killers at a bar, I blurted out to my friends that that fucking song marked the exact time when SXSW jumped the shark. I cited how it brought in a laaaaarge bunch of top40 doofuses who turned what was once a truly alternative thing into a Big Mac.
And with Thrift Shop, it's now going to be even thaaaaaat more sickening.
That last one is pretty old at this point. It sucks. It's more Parody Pop then Parody Rap though. Seems like they're making fun of that LMFAO shit. Regardless, I don't give it much attention and I've never heard it requested (unlike "Thrift Store.") Proud of the dudes for getting to where they are on their own (independent) terms though. I love how angry these dudes make some of you guys though. 8 pages?! Some of you give waaaay too much attention to stuff that you claim not to like. Let it go already!

REFUSES TO CAPITULATE TO THE PRESSURES OF CONSUMERISM
I couldn't possibly hate this any more than I do. And I suspect that Herm loves it with a tear-soaked smile...lol.
why does this guy hate shoes so much

what do you mean?
if your hook is a how i met your mother type declaration
your hiphop pass is revoked (in this case the song's)
basically categorization the song is pop and should be charted as such
