Rap music is just another form of Beatnik poetry spoken with bongo drums:
Tea at the Palaz of Hoon by Wallace Stevens
Not less because in purple I descended
The western day through what you called
The loneliest air, not less was I myself.
What was the ointment sprinkled on my beard?
What were the hymns that buzzed beside my ears?
What was the sea whose tide swept through me there?
Out of my mind the golden ointment rained,
And my ears made the blowing hymns they heard.
I was myself the compass of that sea:
I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange.
Byron Holland, lead singer and founder of band “the Offspring”. PhD in molecular biology... just saying
Who?? And why is he important?
She was at a donut shop and licked donuts, and said “I hate America, I hate Americans”
Another fine idol for our American youth.
A rapper? oh, you mean those loud, ugly, angry men who yell words that Whites go to jail for saying, and who call women HOS and biytches? So one of them took too much of an illegal drug and is now dead?
What was it you were saying?
A dead nobody that no one has ever heard of dies and somehow it makes the news? I am befuddled.
I can’t wait for the retrospectives and eulogies. Oh, wait... he never performed anything but crap.
(In fairness, Aretha Franklin performed nothing but crap in the 80s. “Whoze zooming Who,” “I Knew Your Were Waiting” and especially, “Freeway of Love” were among the worst recordings of the decade.)
I’m crying so hard it’s hard to see the screen/s
Actually I think you still have another 5 or 10 years, there are still a lot of you.
Ariana Grande? Sounds like some overpriced swill Starbucks sells.
Don’t know how I’m going to be able to carry on living without this guy in the world.
Ariana Grande past boyfriend. She dumped him for another guy who looks like a zombie. She likes freaks.
