The cover of the new album from rapper Paris is intended to send a chill down your spine.

The artwork for 'Sonic Jihad' which hit stores Tuesday, features a computer generated picture of an airliner about to fly into the White House.

On such songs as 'What Would You Do?' Paris accuses the Bush Administration of helping orchestrate the terror attacks and murdering 'people of color' for profit.

That would be rap music.

"Rap music" is an oxymoron, IMO.

No big loss when those criminals dont get their paychecks, IMHO..

Where do you see that? I actually used to watch that show when I was a kid.

He probably is one of "Calypso Louie's" minions.

So long as kids of all colors keep buying this (C)Rap music, these miscreants, criminals and degenerates will be millionaires.

"Rap Music" is an oxymoron enjoyed by cultural morons.

[Sir Gawain]

In between "Sonic Jihad", it looks like the Thundercats symbol.

Rap is music?

Rap is to music what the Dixie are to intelligent

[wku man]

Rap (I can't call it "music") is one of the most corrosive elements in today's society. When our American fabric finally tears completely apart, rap will be among the reasons, along with the destruction of the family, the marginalizing of the Chirch and Christian values, the socialist welfare state, etc. There is no redeeming value in rap, and sh** like the album in question on this thread is nothing short of psyching up militants for battle.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

Cover art offensiveness and talent are usually inversely proportional.

Dixie=Dixie Chicks (but you all prolly knew that)

Words fail me ....

Perhaps Boeing can be persuaded to sue the ironically-named Paris for defamation.....

"Paris"--what a fitting name. Maybe the Democrats will use this as the their musical theme at the 2004 convention instead of Fleetwood Mac.
