Bad Taste Trimphant

[Shuckins]

According to one news source, none of the nominees for this years Grammy Awards were traditional musicians.  All the "artists" that were nominated were either hip-hop, rap, etc.

The country is doomed.

Despondently, Shuckins

Yes we are doomed as the Grammy Awards is a direct representation of society.

Aw...c'mon MT...you can tell ME!  Do you really, honestly, in the depths of your soul consider that tripe to be MUSIC?  Can you say, with a straight face, that it has had a positive impact on the youth of this country?  Have you watched any of the "music" videos produced by these "artists" lately?  Does it really bear comparison to early rock and roll?

Are you still able to define these terms?

Come on pard.  You're my age.  Surely you can remember a better era.  I'm as tolerant as the next guy but I can still recognize freakish behavior and trashy music.

I'm available for counseling, free of charge.

On a scale of artistic expression rap fits somewhere between belching and farting.

[mietla]

Sorry those who belch and fart for a living. I did not mean to offend you.

Are you an Elvis fan by any chance?

That's what keeps humans on the top of the food chain... adaptation (sp?). Care to sink back down ?

[lazs2]

yep... Still trying to figure out how those potatos can even pretend to enjoy that crap.

I have never heard more rap than it takes to escape from it.. sometimes, in a movie theater it is difficult.   In peoples cars you can threaten violence.

SECRET SERVICE PLANS INTERVIEW OF EMINEM AFTER 'PRESIDENT DEAD' RAP

The Secret Service is planning to conduct an interview with rapper EMINEM, government sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT, after a new song by the artist appeared on the Internet -- a song that wished the "president dead!"

"We take all matters involving comments made about the death of a sitting president very seriously," a well-placed government source directly involved in the matter said this weekend. "This matter will be investigated fully, and I expect Mr. Mathers will be interviewed directly."

The Secret Service has reviewed a studio quality version of the track WE AS AMERICANS.

"Personally, I found it quite alarming and reckless," the federal official said.

In the song, the rapper declares he would not perform only for cash: "I don't rap for dead presidents," Eminem says. "I'd rather see the president dead. It's never been said, but I set precedents and the standards, and they can't stand it!"

No determination has been made regarding the song and if it constitutes a direct threat against President Bush, the official explained.

A spokesman for INTERSCOPE RECORDS, Eminem's label, claims the cut [which also features the rapper bragging, "Bin Laden is on my ass"] is an "an unfinished song that was either lost or stolen, and there was no determination when, where, how or if it was going to be used."

Hip hop, rap is not music.
