I didn't realize there was a 'contest' here.

What's the prize?

Yeah I know thanks a bunch. I used that line to express my displeasure at the recent posts on the news and politics forum. Well.. actually it was on the radio while I was typing but you get the drift. I know the difference between fake rap, three six mafia, and real rap, lady gaga.

Awesome

That sounds gross so don't sue me if it becomes infected with something.

Exactly.

The bolded is another reason why the lyric is dumb.

*dead*

I wont. I'll even sign a wiaver.

Why are you bringing me into this? What odds are you talking about? The lyrics are what they are. I provided them and my interpretation of them. No help necessary for that.

Simply because, in this 'back-and-forth,' you and DS seemed aligned.

And we all thank you for your service, not only to the thread but to lovers of tautology near and far. However, I believe your interpretation is unnecessarily narrow, perhaps intentionally so to dodge the assertions in the OP.

Also, your assertions here are a gross mischaracterization of lines like "I guess will.i.am and Oprah weren't on your Christmas card list" for what that's worth.

My interpretation wasn't intentionally narrow. I listened to the verse once and made my assesment from it. Could it have multiple meanings? Yes. I am well aware of that. I did not take it to mean that all white people are liars. Thus I did not take it to be a racist statement. I gave my reason.

How are my assertions a gross mischaracterization? Are you sure you understood my assertions?

I agree with the second portion (it's not 'racist' under any reasonable definition) completely.

I do think it's more broad than your interpretation - Bush is an example of lies from whites/the white establishment - but all's fair otherwise.

Of course I'm not sure I understood. However, it was clearly beyond giving your interpretation of the song.

I think, therefore, I am.
 

Tautology always revs my engine. Hubba hubba.

The 2nd comment about Will.I.Am and Oprah was basically an example of two celebs who have used their celeb status to impact politics recently (probably could've given one from each side but I didnt think it necessary). I completely understand being against that because they're not experts they're just regular people who have undue influence.

lmao Any other time someone who has a "drop" of black blood is considered to be black. Now people suddenly want to change that.

As far as the hip hop relevancy in politics...

How about Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet"? LOL...


Dr. AKA_Monet Musings... LOL... :rolleyes:

;)

Hmmm...and I wonder how that "Vote or Die" thing came along a few years back.


Heh...thus the ONE DROP rule....

We can't keep nuffin' !

This is the dude who puts up w/ Beyonce's shit on a daily, right?

That's what I thought.
