Big Pimpin Crack Game Dope Man Fuck All Nite Is That Yo Bitch? Jigga That Nigga Money, Cash, Hoes Murdagram Pussy I'm sure they're delightful songs, but in a world where Dean Martin is too "rapey" I don't get how this was an option. The NFL must believe the average viewer has a single digit IQ. But considering a QB was able to send a political message by crouching down to dick sucking height, maybe they're on to something. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBrownsFan Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 But the NFL commish says he is partnering with the best and most inspiring: "Every conversation I've had with Jay has been inspiring," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday. "Not just on his perspective on the process of how we do the entertainment, but what we should try to achieve. We always say we should get better and we should evolve. We think we should partner with the best, and that's why we're sitting here. We believe we're partnering with the best. So, his perspective is going to drive us."

Couldn't care less let alone 'approve it'. Just tired of the whining. Agreed on the Brownies though. Longest off season in recent memory.

htownbrown Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 You may be able to pull a gem out of an ocean of garbage sometimes, but most of the time it's self aggrandizing, pointless, and crude. I can't honestly sing along to someone's sexual experiences, what kind of cars they have, how many diamonds they have in their mouths, or how pimpin is hard. That eliminates about 90% right off the top. Especially Jay-Z the Great Unifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a lot of it is really really bad. I actually equate it a lot with country. It's kind of a low class / lowest common denominator genre by and large. It's not all terrible. There's some stand outs. I didn't care for west coast gangsta rap at the time in the mid 90s but some of that stuff sounds genius next to the latest evolution.

MLD Woody Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 The problem is there is just A LOT of music out there. The majority of any genre is going to be bad. If you equate that bad majority with the entire genre, then you aren't going to like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From age 2 through 12 it was easy, for the most part. I didn't even have a cassette player until the late 80s and my first cassette was MC Hammer. Before that I was at the mercy of a clock radio. Trust me, I've heard plenty of rap. There was an enormous shift when Dr. Dre and Snoop hit the scene and now it's shifted to the bling era. And i couldn't be more done with it. I'm just curious, how can you still listen? I wouldn't call you a liberal, but you're a little left of center. If you heard some one here referring to gays as faggots, you'd probably object to it. But you've certainly bought plenty of CDs saying exactly that(and worse) and probably sang right along. How does that work now as an adult who understands what he's listening to? You can't find a more bigoted genre of music, as a whole, than rap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been called a nazi to my face by those you and many here would considered "the left". Depends on the situation or who is saying it and in what context. I know gay people that have called others faggots to their face and don't mean it in the literal sense. Again, pretty easy. You separate out what is entertainment and what is reality. Music, 99% of the time, falls under the purely entertainment category. You just try to parse out the talent with it. Unless you feel it's cool to walk around and pull a Zeppelin by telling girls you're going to give them "every inch of my love". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well digging is associated with painstaking labor, but to each their own. I'm not throwing left of center at you as an insult in this context. Entertainment is a reflection of what the people demanding it want. To say entertainment has no reality based influence on people is silly. Didn't you want to "Be Like Mike"? I did. Did you buy a Baker jersey yet? Music has an even bigger influence and audience. Rap culture has had a huge impact on society. The same with rock n roll. I could argue that music made more hippies than the war did. I'm sure if there was a rap song about pedophilia you would be disgusted. Why that changes for equally disgusting topics is......I don't know, you tell me. It's still too prevalent to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
