10 STARS OUT OF 5
August 28, 2016

Complex is a man's definition of paradise online. Most relevant content. Most consistent entertainment. Most in-depth analysis and breakdowns. Most up-to-date news and pop-culture coverage. Most mature presentation. And ultimately, most satisfying, reassuring, and rewarding of every minute spent online. Wish I had a mic to drop

Just read a list of shows they critiqued, and claimed were racist and why.
While an intersting idea and goal, this list of "50 most racist shows" falls apart when you use racist sentiments to try to get your point across.
This is a word for word description of their entry on the show martin; "We don't think whiteface is racist, either—but, in the interest of fairness, here you go... cracker."

Apparently this writer believes racism is bad, but it's okay to be racist towards white people.
I'll be honest with you, the truth is there's no excuse however you want to twist your logic around, that ever makes it ok to be racist towards anyone.
It is especially not ok for a writer or journalist to argue against racism and stand up to it by being racist themselves.
If you want a good analogy, it's like a vegan who doesn't eat or want to harm animals working as a butcher at a deli.

COMPLEX IS KING!
December 27, 2017

Complex is dude heaven. I am yet to come across a more entertaining website, and I've been all over the Internet. They have music, movies, politics, money, news, fashion, all under one roof. Their analysis of the different topics covered are always concrete, thick with details, and very intensive in their comprehensive coverage.
They must have a very strong content generation team. The best article I ever read on Complex was "Top 50 Hip Hop Dis Tracks". I almost agreed with them on each and every rank. My second favorite article was the "Top Lyricists of All Time". Here, I thought Big Pun deserved a higher rank. My third favorite article was "Top 50 Actors of All Time". Then there's "The 10 Best Rappers of the 90s". That is one tough list I wouldn't take on the responsibility of compiling. But here, once again, they really stepped up. But I slightly disagreed with the inclusion of Red Man, and Snoop Dogg, and the exclusion of big Pun. All in all, Complex is where I spend most of my time online, and with lots of regret, but no apologies. For a Hip hop head such as myself, there's nothing more I could ask for. I really used to dig The Source, Vibe, and XXL. But Complex done taken them to school on how it's done right here
