I thought this was a thread about Prince Phillip and DMX?

Hahahahaha...holy #### dude. Way to paint everyone with a broad stroke.


I'm just going to stop you there. You're factually wrong, and you're a little bit xenophobic as well. Congrats.

Besides, when has pop or rock music had ANY good role models? That's not their job. Their job is to create good art. The history of the art world is full of people who were reprehensible (Picasso and Gaugin, just as recent examples).

I think we held on to some of the good parts of our British past, like the political system and spelling. For whatever reason, Americans held on to the useless Imperial measurement system, that even the British thought was stupid enough to abandon.

I'm with you.

All the music I listened to growing up was written and produced by the most upstanding role models; men and women of unimpeachable character who were widely regarded as society's "most acceptable."

I had forgotten about this cargo cult in Vanuatu. I wonder how they're taking the news.

I'm guessing finding out about the death via facebook twitter and Instagram on their cell phones and tablets probably reduced the apocalyptic importance of things

My apologies about the derail in the thread. I take full blame. I’ll take my opinions elsewhere. I derailed a thread that was super interesting and learned a lot.

One again. Apologies to cp on the opinionated bs.

I’ll be sending myself to the penalty box for a while.

I hope the respects to Prince Phillip and the discussion about the monarchy and commonwealth, good or bad can continue.

Thanks. I’m out.

You're good man, I can't stand rap either, I just decided that's because I'm just old AF

Nah your good, they mock you but his most popular song has 30+ N-words in it you would be banned if you posted the lyrics on CP or fired if you sang them

what a world

(no I don't need a lecture on why he is allowed to say them because I don't care)

Eh, you also can't post Trent Reznors most popular lyric here. Kind of an irrelevant argument.

Not all speech is intended for all contexts.

You expected more ? I know not All albertians are racist or just clueless to other cultures but ... If your going to be ignorant or racist it's going to be in Alberta followed by sask and Manitobia. It's not just generalizations to say that either . The data shows thata how the provinces rank in white tendencies.

It was also ignorant to say all rap is #### and terrible.

My all time favorite rap CD is Chammilionare " Ultimate Victory" he purposely mad an album sans swearing and n words. Absolutely a banger CD. That's my benchmark for every new audio set up. If I can't tune it to play that cd to perfection it goes back to the shop.

I'm not a huge rap fan . More metal but rap is no less exceptional than metal.
