Turned that 2nd song off after ten seconds. What a disgrace. I'm guessing it turns out to be parody but yeah nah.

Skip to 3:15 to get the whole idea of it.

Not a parody. I'm not big on hip hop, but I do know Joyner Lucas is not a fat, bearded, white bloke. You should watch the video.



Disclaimer: Not my nom, I ain't even playing.

Hardly worth staying up for, pretty boring game but Chelsea won at least.

Yeah you completely missed the point.

Oh dear.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Host update?

 

[por_please_ya]

Second song was brilliant, raskolnikov. Need to have kept watching

 

[raskolnikov]

Yeah you completely missed the point.

As I said, I'm assuming there was a twist to it but I still don't like listening to it.

 

[Loonerty]

As I said, I'm assuming there was a twist to it but I still don't like listening to it.

Once again, it's supposed to be confronting.

That's the entire point. Well done on missing the point of the song.

 

[raskolnikov]

That's the entire point. Well done on missing the point of the song.

I didn't listen past about the 30 second mark so I didn't even get to the point.

 

[Plugger35]

Who cares what the point of the song is when the song itself is shit, it's a music contest not a bloody political statements contest.

 

[por_please_ya]

For someone who rarely listens to or even likes this genre, even I could appreciate the artistry of the song and the clever and confronting way in which it was presented. It made you think.

I'm not sure you could fully express or convey the messages of the song in quite the same manner if it was sung in another genre. Rap is story-telling and this song told a powerful story.

 

[Loonerty]

Imagine if rask got to the hard R.

 

[SM]

I didn't listen past about the 30 second mark so I didn't even get to the point.

Thats.. What I'm saying.

[Back One Out]

I've been feeling a little bit racist today

I can't wait to listen to track 2 on the playlist so I can be cured.

I think there's an all important message in there for all of us.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Any chance of an update Loonerty you lazy campaigner

 

[Loonerty]

Any chance of an update Loonerty you lazy campaigner

Nah.

 

[por_please_ya]

Random fact: The Avalanches song samples lyrics from "Why Can't I Get It Too" by Six Boys In Trouble. I thought I recognised the words, and was trying to figure out from where...

Turns out Bonobo used some of the lyrics in his track "All In Forms"!

Sorry but absolutely untrue. People like Bob Dylan were politicizing songs long before rap/hip hop ever existed.
