So we're on the internet and the subject of rap comes up. Per usual there's a few comments about how people hate rap, a handful of people defending rap, noting that rock has similar "flaws, then a few more people weigh in on how they don't have to justify why they don't like rap.

Business as usual on the interwebs . . .

Anyway, considering he made an attempt at a message, I have to applaud him. When top 40 lyrical content tops out at "This is why I'm hot" and "why do you rock that soulja boy", this guy's on his way to the hip hop hall of fame.

As far as the actual content, works for me. He got is point across within the norms of the genre. To complain about diction, sentence structure and punctuation (again, not that the article quotes the lyrics out of stanza format), is like complaining about the core nuances of capitalism. It is what it is, and doesn't address the discussion of the topic at hand: video game violence.

Muninn: it was not my intent to offend, nor to come across as patronizing as i now realize i must have. it was a poor attempt at humor.

SticKboy: No, I was merely apologising for assuming he wasn't British in a previous retort. But hey, if you're spoiling for an argument... comments like yours make me think otherwise.

Muninn: @stickboy: are you trying to say that you can only be reasonable with people from the UK?
Posted 08/07/08 at 01:56pm
SticKboy: @ beemoh - I apologise profusely for assuming you were North American all this time. It makes half of my replies to you ignorant beyond belief. In future, I'll take a more reasoned stance.

beemoh: You're coming to the UK, GP? Awesome- let me know when that happens :D

GryphonOsiris: @GP, you should take up Black Velvets when you are there 50% Guiness, 50% hard cider. They are heaven.

gamepolitics: I think my first stop should be a college in Miami...
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:16am
Pominator: Hey GP, you should definitely speak at my college in the UK! it has been rated the second best college in all of England! N&CC

gamepolitics: LOL... So much history!
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:09am
SticKboy: Ah well, hopefully at some point in the future then. Although, why anybody would want to visit ol' Blighty for a holiday is beyind me... I suppose you have a thing for bad food and worse weather?

gamepolitics: stickboy, tourism, I'm afraid on this upcoming trip
