2. I kind of find it an uninspired approach to a potentially cool idea.
I don't like the execution.

I did notice the first time Parry speaks his voice is super powerful and echoed. Eventually he gets the music and shouts nigger several times. The black artist (I can't believe I can't think of his stage name) never sounds as powerful. Perhaps intentional; perhaps too meta.

4. I'm hoping it is an interpretation, but it undoes itself because of it. So close. nt
