“Phew, he’s not race-baiting, he’s just a complete moron.”

“We’d passed judgment on 2 Live Crew...”

I don’t know about all that. Pretty sure C. Dolores Tucker got busted trying to leverage her censorship campaign into an actual record label- she was in it for the cash. And acting like rap turned its back on 2 Live Crew doesn’t work for me. They were huge in the mid-80's, as big as anybody. They just faded away with…

So then you’re complaining about them NOT shutting it down?

Yeah I first caught this story on one of the Niners blogs and commenters were reveling in him referring to the Cowboys fans as fair-weather... this is the same group of people who were basically having a fan base-wide contest to see who could jump ship fastest seven months ago, until they were placated by Jed York…

That is him, he got knocked out, he is still alive.

Yeah, anything holding up that intersection during evening commute on a Tuesday is fair game for a response. I’m at a loss for outrage.

That’s not really the point though. I’m not trying to hang out at places that have to sweep up the teeth and eyeballs on a nightly basis. Yet they are still 21+. I don’t feel like the burden is on me to explain why every drinking establishment within 100 feet of a burger spot is still a drinking establishment to…

People were trying to say the car moved into the skater, which clearly is not the case. But my understanding is right after that happened was when the cops decided it was time to unpack the assault rifles. That didn’t go over well.

“Bougie white people” is really what’s going on here. It’s the only reason the legality of it all isn’t under closer examination, guaranteed. I just had dinner with the folks and a family friend I drink with occasionally and appraised them of this burning issue, they were too shocked by the legal leeway being given to…

Tell me what generation going to overflow bars at four in the afternoon is popular with.

I feel like John’s question about children at breweries did not get proper consideration. Someplace like Gordon Biersch is indeed essentially a restaurant. But there are an increasing amount of smaller, less food-oriented, more tasting room-ish breweries now, and I’ll be damned if we didn’t hit one up a couple months…

And that’s the beauty of his shitty comeback- if he had the slightest amount of game Christie could potentially sit there, clown the hell out of people all day, and get on our good sides. But, he sucks at it so he can’t and won’t.

I have to assume his new record is on some softer shit and that’s where that’s coming from because yeah, a good part of the appeal of Lil Boat to me is that it’s pretty dirty.

Of course people dying over contrived bullshit to sell records and magazines is lame. But there was real, healthy competition in rap before it was drummed up and exploited, and history has shown we’re way worse off without that.

The mumble rap hate is dumb and counter-productive. Just let it be if it’s not for you. The more the kids piss off the olds, the more they think they’re onto something, and that’s the way it should be. I’m willing to bet a whole bunch of these guardians of the culture spent their formative years bumping Bad Boy anyway.

Resolution of the East/West beef fucked everything up. Before and during, calling out weak shit was the thing to do but afterwards it was mandatory cosignage or else you’re a “hater.”

Exactly. Jay-Z was when rap culture started to put the cart before the horse and began deciding after the fact that whatever he was on was the thing to do. It’s been steady bullshit ever since.

It took me awhile to even get that new lingo. I assumed it meant people literally found the dog with its leg caught in a bear trap or something.

My folks have adopted two dogs from some renowned ranch for rescue pooches. They are as on-point as possible regarding everything. I recall the comprehensive background information they had on one dog was “he was owned by a real dick before we got him,” and for the other it was “we don’t know much, and none of it is…
