My dad must of been ahead of his time, he was a huge Elvis fan. He was no youngster, he born in 1928. When he was filming 'Follow that Dream' in Yankeetown, Elvis made an appearance at Weeki Wachee Springs and we drove 60 miles to see him.

No worse than the music piped into the Town Squares.

Is that profiling?

No. Just bad, outdated music

:boom: :agree: totally! They are the scum of the music entertainment world. I'm not a prude that listens to classical music or piano (I like all kinds of rock); just can't stand rap.

True that!

Many things said here remind me of what was said about The Beatles, Elvis, and others. "That's not music". "They're all on drugs". "They have dirty, greasy long hair". "Kids should not be allowed to listen to that stuff". "The words are obscene" (Remember Louis, Louis?).

One generation need not enjoy or understand the music of the next generation. It has always, It will always be.

You can find real music if you look hard enough

Isn't profiling when you group all together and judge against ? Wouldn't it be profiling to summarily dismiss the kind of music played on our Villages radio station as old and outdated?

Maybe profiling is sometimes good and beneficial? As a way of categorizing what we like and don't like? I don't like dirty looking houses and unkempt lawns. I don't think well of the inhabitants. It makes me think they are lazy, but they could be sick. We all sometimes come to conclusions based on appearances. It is human. It probably helps keep us safe and alive. It is sometimes intuitive and protects us against harmful situations.

Rap is crap. It is not music in any sense.

Taking out the emotion is the bottom line. Is it music, yes. Do you have like it, no. Is it different from other forms of music, yes. Do the people who like rap music care what others think of rap, no. Will it destroy our society, no. Will this also pass, yes.



“Rapping is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backbeat or musical accompaniment. “

My kids used a Hip-Hop barberShop in Elizabeth N.J. I decided to take them there one day. They seemed to be happy that I was interested in what goes on in their lives. Once inside the Barbershop the rules of the road were posted and enforced. One of the rules was no cursing. The place was neat and clean. I'll be honest even though I didn't understand one word they were singing my foot was tapping because whatever was on was a catchy tune. My kids interpreted some things for me and they liked that I was cool in front of their friends. Just like on here my opinion wasn't going to change anything so I kept it to myself.

Rap is a thing. Our like or dislike isn't going to change it being there or will our dislike change the opinion of those who listen to it. It is here to stay.

I have turned into someone like my dad, 640 AM and some talk radio suite me just fine as long as the talk radio isn't set to the enemy station. I know 80% of you know what I mean. Was up wit dat Homey! Lol. :1rotfl:

They even had a guy who watches your car for you while you are getting a shape up. They don't call it a haircut. How nice!

IMHO best line in this discussion - Just like on here my opinion wasn't going to change anything so I kept it to myself.

LOL -- Just yesterday had to explain this to my sister.

I love musicals and I am sure that this song isn't politically correct, but I love it. And the men look handsome to me.
