You might as well put some black paint on your face, dress up as a clown, and eat watermelon in downtown if you like this song and are black.

Sorry to insult anyone but I am serious here. Let's party like it's a modern day minstrel show my brothers and sisters! That's right! Act like monkey's! Malcom X would be so proud. ;_; The Coon Shuffle part 2 sure is making hits these days!

This is not bad at all. Have you seen the 50 Cent game? That sets back black America like, fifty years.

Himu · « **Reply #4 on:** October 20, 2006, 11:42:07 PM »

Naw, this would have to be far worse. I mean dude..it's a fucking song about necklaces. The way this shit fills kids' minds, thinking they should be as materialistic and distinguished mentally-challenged as these artists is what pisses me off the most.

In fact, liking this shit in general, no matter the race, is a de-evolution of culture as a whole because it proves that people these days lack class.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #5 on:** October 20, 2006, 11:43:44 PM »

I think my daily life is chock full of things that remind me people these days lack class lol.

Who cares. I'd rather black youth be materialistic than play BULLETPROOF and think that it's okay to randomly murder people and steal shit, because their music idol does it and it's you make your way in life.

True enough; I think it's all bad personally.

I'm as old and crotchedy as the next guy (Hi, SC). But is this any worse than Run DMC's 'My Adidas', 20 years ago?

Haven't even heard that song, but the difference is that Run DMC actually balanced the materialistic shit with actually interesting music.

There was a time when rap was groundbreaking. It could make you dance and make you think. Yet today, mainstream rap is dominated by a group of people with no imagination, no innovation, and no talent. That's why we see 20 rappers who's name starts with "Young" or "Lil", or why every song has to advocate some "dance" move such as snapping fingers. The music is dominated by fads.

Rappers today dance right into the stereotypes that have haunted blacks for years. The music is heavily Misogynst while presenting blacks in a rather ignorant light. To be smart, or to talk normal English is to "act white" to these people; this is constantly shown in rap videos, or in black movies/comedy skits. BET propogates this every day.

Himu · « **Reply #24 on:** October 21, 2006, 12:18:01 AM »

I've been boycotting BET for a good 3 years

As long as there's somebody to capitalize on this'll still go on.

Well Phoenix/Himuro, you guys will be educated people who will represent your race well in the professional world. Let the morons do their stupid raps and wear their millions shiny diamonds.

That's what I always think. These guys get all the women right now, but the truth is they aren't going anywhere in life. Sure they have nice cars right now, but they still live in the projects and work at McDonalds.

This is the reason why I'm not too upset about not having a girlfriend. 19 year old girls seem to be caught up in the bad boy image, but as they grow older they realize that "bad boys" do go anywhere in life.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2006, 02:12:33 PM »

I think the big problem is that people measure themselves by what they see from other people. Thats kinda WRONG lol.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #29 on:** October 21, 2006, 02:14:11 PM »

True, and I'm not too proud to admit that I do that sometimes.

I try to be myself. That's one of the reasons I'm not getting a MySpace anytime soon lol

I expect when you are out of college things will be fine. College is still about popularity regardless what people tell you. Just don't get worked up over it. You'll get a good career and be able to find someone. This ain't the 1950's. People get married and have kids often at 35+. You are by no means running out of time or anything.

yup

I try to ignore the popularity shit here. These kids have managed to bring their highschool cliches/diva personalities to the college level. Luckily I didn't go to a traditional highschool so I didn't have to deal with that Huron/Ypsi/Pioneer/Lincoln HS bullshit

Cheebs · « **Reply #32 on:** October 21, 2006, 02:26:45 PM »

I went to a private high school(Lutheran North in Macomb..dunno if you know of it) so I missed out on most of that stuff I suspect.
