    This has nothing to do with postmodernism. The piece is called “Speak with Conviction”.

  2. fromis111 Says:

    a critique on the limitations of post-modern irony and lack of conviction that is, in itself, ironic and not very heartfelt….

  3. bryngOneOn Says:

    respect the comedian for using words that may atagonise the viewers perception of their intelligence, thin ice, but he gets away with it in this crowd, But what’s with the bizzare mimish style dancing he’s doing as he’s talking, thats atagonising my vision

  4. bryngOneOn Says:

    what is this show ? has Mos Def got his own tv show or is he just comparing/mcing it?

  7. Questfortruth86 Says:

    Fucking awesome.

  8. lowspeedyoyo Says:

    not funny.

  9. sockrocker117 Says:

    that’s definitely true, it is very postmodern, but so are a million things that don’t mean to be. but yeah, he prly did mean to be, i resign, haha.

  10. MyMelancholyDodo Says:

    I agree with the comments abuot it being a deliberation into linguistics as much as postmodernism. However he is arguing for moral truisms and genuine convictions because these things have been made ‘unfashionable’ by postmodernism (particularly the err… postmodernist hipsters)

    taylor mali. he’s a poet, not a comedian

  12. dangouge Says:

    This isn’t actually comedy, this is like someone’s dad complaining about “kids these days” and lecturing the audience.

  13. origamimadness Says:

    This isn’t about postmodernism, it IS postmodernism. Taken at face value, the content is linguistic, but the way in which it’s presented is a brilliant statement about postmodernism– deliberate hypocrisy, inconsistency between formal and informal tone, etc.

  14. xrevisex Says:

    Hahaha.

  15. sockrocker117 Says:

    i’m not even gonna deal with the racism, but next, he didn’t mention postmodernism. this could’ve been funny when u just think about the way people speak and use words. that was orly his point, since he was wearing a scrabble shirt. he’s a linguist!

  16. blueshirt12 Says:

    How is the audience getting this humor? Are there “laugh” signs? I mean, the audience is mostly black so how are they able to laugh at punchlines that require thought? I don’t get it.

  17. heartion Says:

    I don’t think it’s fair for you to assume that the general population has no awareness of postmodernistic art. It’s not as esoteric as you may think it is. Granted, many don’t take the time to research the specifics, but everyone and anyone can sense the intellectual and pretentious aura of the art.

    hopefully, that made sense

    shemay!

  19. asiashappypills Says:

    Taylor Mali :)

  20. redsuncloud Says:

    Speaking with conviction undermines postmodern expression.

  21. satandog Says:

    all dem votin for obamaa

  22. hairyhoff Says:

    what show is this ? def comedy jam for literates?

  23. comawhite0 Says:

    Too bad he’s a slam poet, not a comedian.

  24. grantsinmypants2 Says:

    Yeah, all people respond to that. You’d have to be crazy not to. It’s easy to hear that and identify with it. To think that that’s enough. To think that one’s emotional investment is the same as one’s confident conviction.

    That’s probably why this message had to be presented in an artistic, emotional way. It wouldn’t resonate if it were presented dryly (which it most likely was to most of these people, in grade school).
