Come back and talk to us again once you enroll in, take, and pass a Logic 101 class at your local community college. ;-)
I have seen better "lyrics" scrawled on bathroom walls.
There is some rap I like.Here are a few of my faves from the past.BTW,I can't stand that"hyphy"stuff out now.
Latifah's Had it up to Here-Queen Latifah
Us-Ice Cube
They Reminisce Over You-Pete Rock,C.L. Smooth
I'll Be Around-Rappin' Forte
Little Ghetto Boy-Snoop Dogg
The Ghetto-Too Short
Be a Father to Your Child-Ed OG and the Bulldogs
Whats Really Going On-Masta P.
Just to name a few.There are others like All About My Fetti by Young Lay,Back That Azz Up by Juvenile and I Can't Stand a Rat by CJ Mack that have DESPICABLE lyrics but screaming beats and poetical flows.
BTW,I'm an almost 60 year old white guy.
Gee, great goin' girls.
Some fine, inspiring legacy you got there. Whatta HERO! Can I have a T-shirt, too?? (/sarc)
Notice how all the rappers are all beating feet to more mainstream forms of entertainment?
I agree with Crouch on most issues too.He's a very creative,original thinker.
But you won't get today's kids in the hood to bump Coltraine and Aretha with any consistency.
Toadstools is right.
Crouch is defintely his own man, I'm just not that into jazz.
Sure,theres lots more money in making a movie than recording an album,especially with the downloading craze going on.
Jazz has its time and place.Stanley Turrentine,Grover Washington Jr,Najee et al are real smooth.
Not much into the whole Parker-Gillespie Be Bop stuff tho.
Making a movie or taking a role in a TV show. Usher just opened on Broadway in the role of Billy Flynn in Chicago.
Now THATS diversifying.
Ever run into a "jazz head?" It'll be the longest conversation of your life. An hour can seem like a month... Crouch is definitely a jazz head.
Now THATS diversifying.
No, Ice-T playing a cop is diversifying.
And here's something else that is creepy and cute:
The sad thing is that a lot of elitist NYT reading Americans think that we conservatives are like Nazis! We are the total opposite.
They don't really think that. It's more divisive talk.
You seem to know a lot about these girls. How do "ya-frekin-hoo" think they will end up as a finished product?
It may not be their fault, but they are sick in the head, and should be denounced.
Don't you agree?
LOL....Is there nothing the Internet can't do?
I'm sure you have seen the film clip of Hitler just before he killed himself. It shows Hitler before a group of Hitler Youths -- they seem to be mostly 14 year old children. He reaches over and pats one of the boys on the face and walks away. He sends the children out to be cannon fodder so he can live for another five minutes. Obviously Hitler committed worse crimes that that, but that film clip always impressed upon me what a miserable coward he was, to hide behind children like that. I almost go crazy every time I have seen a picture or film clip of that monster posing with children -- I want to reach into the image and tear him from limb to limb.
