Halftime show…

Don't be alarmed everyone, I have it on good authority they've found a way to use fairy pixie dust to fuel all of those private jets for the elites telling you what to do -- earth saved!

Sure. And 98% of the time the message is, "N----, mothafu-----, [insert drug reference here], N-----, mothaf-----, N----"

Go listen to Public Enemy...

It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back
Fear of a Black Planet
Apocalypse 91

Report back. Count the number of N words you hear and let me know. More importantly, get the messages.

Uhh, yeah, now I fully understand why you think [c]rap is so great.

You don't have a clue why I do, actually.
 
Steeltime I love Mellencamp, Bon Jovi, Rush, Pink Floyd, The Who and many other 60s - 90s rockers, but there is some artistic merit to a section of Rap. I hate a lot of it trust me but who can’t love RUN DMC with Aerosmith on walk this way, or Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys, those were all part of the 80’s. I also listen to Jimmy Buffet, Toby Keith and Zack Brown. Add in a little classical and folk. Almost every genre has something worth listening to. You didn’t like any of Will Smith’s stuff? Hell I even love some Weird Al Yankovic.

Jimmy thinks Paul McCartney and Wings is excellent ****. No...for real he does.

Aside from maybe Opera or Classical music, name a genre where there isn't tons of utter stupid *** bullshit. Pop? Good lord...home to Weird Al, Toto, Mili Vanili and Kris Kross. Country? Endless horseshit can be found in that genre. Bill Ray Cyrus anyone? Heavy metal....hard rock, rock. Crap, crap, crap exists.

In every genre you find gems, threads and pockets of great music.

Rap too.
 

Hey what's wrong with Toto? Lol. Seriously though, they had some good tunes and Jeff Porcaro was a fantastic drummer.

Goes to show music is definitely subjective.

This.

And to add to this...........sometimes, I really just don't care if the lyrics have a message or tell a story. Sometimes it's just what I want to listen to at that time. I lean more towards heavy metal/hard rock, but also listen to a lot of rap - even the gangsta **** (crip walk), classic rock, some pop songs - mostly 80's 90's stuff - and even some country.

I mean, Sir Mix A lot's "Baby got Back" has absolutely no deep meaning, but it's a fun song. "Give me a sister, can't resist her, red beans and rice didn't miss her" Makes me laugh about as much as............"My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun"

Digital Underground - "The Humpty Dance" That is just fun **** to listen to and act stupid.

Making a sweeping generalization about any genre of music is just dumb. I could just as easily say that country music is largely about drinking, fighting and cousin ******* and they all sing like a bunch of twangy old *****. Is it true for all - or did I just hear a couple of songs about drunk, fighting, cousin ******* and said - Yep, it's all about that. Nah, I'm not a Boomer.
 
"Give me a sister, can't resist her, red beans and rice didn't miss her" "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun"

"So ladies, if the butt is round, and you want a triple X throwdown - dial 1-900-MIXALOT"

And I liked Sir Mix-A-Lot even before that when he did "Posse on Broadway" and "Buttermilk Biscuits". Anyone who can talk about butts and biscuits and make a really large audience listen is okay with me.

I like classic country, but I really couldn't get into modern country until I heard Chris Stapleton. Garth Brooks I heard put on a phenomenal live show, but I just couldn't get into him. Different strokes for different folks I guess. And maybe I wasn't listening to the better modern country singers. But give me some Waylon Jennings or Merle Haggard.
 
It's rap like this bullshit that is not good for society. Snoop's new song calls for shooting cops. And he gets celebrated at the Super Bowl. Unbelievable.

"Police"
(feat. A1 Yolaman & Jiggie June)

All you niggas out there
Take your guns that you using to shoot each other
And start shooting these ***** *** ************* police
That'll impress a ************* nigga like me
The crooked *************
'Cause these police getting way too ************* outta line

You can't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke
Don't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, yeah
You can't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, you feel me?
Don't trust these police
911's a joke

Cinematic, right back at it
Talk the walk and walk 'bout that static
I am the extra dramatic
When he popped back, everybody scattered, didn't matter
Hmm, I was there from the get-go
Moving heavy weights, Klitschko
Rookies and cookies from 'Frisco
Put 'em in a box, Nabisco
We the funk that killed disco
I showed you how to go and get this dough
And I'm the reason why you're ******* with this hoe
But don't thank me, that's how the **** go
It's still banging Crypto from the intro
Nigga what they hidden for?
Hold up, who is that tryna come through?
Step back or get mic checked, one, two

You can't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke
Don't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, yeah
You can't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, you feel me?
Don't trust these police
911's a joke

I'ma use my rights, I ain't saying ****
First forty-eight, I ain't telling on the clique
Solid as a rock, too legit to snitch
Put it on my momma, I'ma be a problem
**** a police, tryna stop me like a comma
*******, got a shiny badge with authority
Target on my back, I'm minority
Get the iPhone, I'm recording
Y'all cartoon, Rick and Morty
Pass, "serve and protect" my ***
****'s going down, that's a wrap
Never trust a cop, that's a trap
Put me in the slam, I don't sing
With a orange pair of Barkleys
Other ************* narcing
A snitch to be stitched and he run like a *****
I'ma shoot 'em up like I'm Mitch Richmond
Flick on the wrist, too hot
You ain't ******* with this

You can't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke
Don't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, yeah
You can't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, you feel me?
Don't trust these police
911's a joke

Yeah, whoa, ay
911 is a joke in J town
Everywhere it go down, that's why I keep a four pound
Blowing out your hoe down, **** the tires go down
Sugar brought you whole round, ready for a showdown
Verbs and pronouns spitting at your main hoe
Probably why I stay up on her top like a Kango
Dipping through the city with a Glock in a Range Rove
If you sleeping [?] probably not with the same hoe
Rock the same clothes rich niggas do
And rock by the same code till I'm a rich nigga too
I be in the club with the stick in my shoe
You call the ******* police like a ***** nigga do
Still zips for the two, QP for they
Whole thing for the (ah), **** I'll get a nigga straight
This **** don't hit the interstate if your skin tone's dark
And white people watch the pigs in the pens unmarked

You can't trust these police

Don't trust these police
'Cause 911's a joke, yeah
You can't trust these police

Don't trust these police
911's a joke

Ay J5, come here man, the police tripping
Ay, ay, officer leave him alone
Yeah, man, leave that dude alone, man
Oh, oh, oh-whoa
Here they go again, man, they doing that same old **** again, man
I can't stand this ****

Pants up, don't loot. (added courtesy of Indy)
 
I really just don't care if the lyrics have a message or tell a story. Sometimes it's just what I want to listen to at that time.

And sometimes you just don't know what the hell they're saying, like a lot of CCR songs or even Mick Jagger. The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" and Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" probably the biggest culprits but great melodies and vibe. Oh and that one where he sounds like he's saying "In the Garden of Eden" or whatever. Forget their name.

Sometimes the vibe and musicianship is more than good enough IMO.
 
Snoop's new song calls for shooting cops. And he gets celebrated at the Super Bowl. Unbelievable.

Yeah anybody who calls for the shooting of another group of people is bullshit and trash. Can you imagine if a rock or country artist talked about shooting BLM protesters? Holy ****, it'd be Armageddon among leftists. **** Snoop Dogg anyways, fair-weather sports fan. His favorite team is usually who's en vogue at the moment.
 
NC, thought you'd get a kick outta this:




Good vibes! Sometimes you just want something you can shake a little to.

I'm not big on songs like this, but I'm not going to talk about what is good for society either. Honestly, the only people that are listening to something like this and actually acting on it are the ones that would act violently anyways. In other words, don't really need that much of a push.

Everyone has a right to listen or not listen if they so choose.
 
To expand on what SIL said - Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Chance the Rapper etc. and then way back in the day A Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J, Rakim, Run DMC talked about relevant stuff, as did many others. Like everything else, the whole genre isn't absolute dogshit.

Stay away from Eazy E and Too $hort though. :oops:
Eazy E is my choice for rap. Too short sucks.

Eazy E - real muthaphuckin G’s. You’re from SoCal. You know the deal lol
 
One more...can't resist.

Gin and Juice. I loved this song like everyone did.

Got out of college, got my very first big time professional job working for AT&T/NCR. Hustling selling technology to the Federal Government here in the DC metro area. Worked there for nearly 4 years. Multi-racial company. Had many co-workers/friends that were black.

One I'll call CP Harriott. Just the coolest cat, salt of the earth black guy. We got tight. He was 10 years older than me though, married. I was single, young, hustling. Got on to rap. He laughed at me being all into it. Mentioned gin and juice and he laughed at me and said I bet you don't even know what the hell that song is about.

I admitted it...I didn't. "Popular drink?" I said. He threw his head back and laughed and said young white boy, let me teach you LOL

He said I grew up back in Boston in the day, see. There's always been this wive's tale in the hood about gin. Keeping you up all night. Get me?

I looked at him naive. He laughed hard again. He said Tim damn LOL..."UP"....gin's an aphrodisiac and everyone knew on Friday or Saturday and you were gonna get with your girl, you had to hit the gin because it KEEPS YOU UP ALL NIGHT get me??? LOL. Then he says but not the good gin, that **** don't work. Seagrams gin is the one. And house gin. And he said man I'm not kidding but back in Boston in the day the city buses used to have ads plastered on them that showed Seagrams Gin with the tag line "Stay Up All Night."

We laughed and laughed. I had no clue. He said see? Gin and juice...it ain't about it being just a drink brother, it's deeper....Gin and Juice is the sex drink.

Love that guy. We are still in touch today.


Do you still got money on your mind after all that?
 
Digital Underground - "The Humpty Dance" That is just fun **** to listen to and act stupid.

I can sing it word for word while my white *** writhes in an unwatchable show of insanity.

"Don't Believe the Hype" - word for word. EPMD "Strictly Business"...."It Takes Two" Rob Base

Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere
'Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:


I know so much of it word for word. Funny how the brain works and remembers that stuff.

I got into the gangsta ****. Owned every Ice Cube album back when he was a serious badass just out of NWA. **** that made my mom wanna be kill me.

"I'm gonna wet ya!"

Lately I'm into 42Dugg. That raspy voice and hard beats in some of his songs makes me drive 95. Yes, I thump a sub-woofer. My kids be embarrassed. Dad don't give a....
 
Eazy E is my choice for rap. Too short sucks.

I'm talking about profanity in the lyrics. But Too $hort didn't have much you could dance or even really bob your head to for sure. Sounds like we've both listened to rap/hip-hop, punk, metal and everything else. Actually I've seen you post a lot of metal but no punk (that I remember) so not sure if you went down that one.
 
Do you still got money on your mind after all that?

Naw...after all that I hit the Seagrams and chased my wife around the house.

Didn't catch her.
 
All I know is that we're going to give Jimmy (ST) an aneurysm soon and that's a win in my book.

Feed his remains to a certain Ogre that lives in the swamps of FloriDUH?
 
Yes, I thump a sub-woofer. My kids be embarrassed.

Haha, same here. But a sub is good for most genres of music. And I'm not internationally known, but I've been known to rock the microphone.

LOL! That song made getting busy in a Burger King bathroom a thing.

I like a lot of the older rap - from the 80's, and 90s. The newer stuff isn't too bad either.

I think people get too caught up in specific parts of the lyrics and not the whole song. A lot of the rap groups style and lyrics were based off of lived experiences, and channeling their anger or angst on what they were around growing up, and on a day to day basis. It's not pretty, and it's not meant to be.

I swear some folks sound like Tipper Gore and the PMRC.
 
Jimmy and Indy gonna be front row to this!
