[News] Ban gangsta rap as offensive to many people ?

[daveinplzen]

The censorship of Hip-Hop in this country goes a lot further than just banning songs on the BBC.

The Met Police get Youtube to delete drill videos, and some drill artists have been given suspended prison sentences for performing certain songs live. Now, drill is certainly a decisive sub-genre, and I’m sure most people on here would hate it... but a prison sentence for performing a song?

I love hiphop, I love rap, particlarly UK rap, that the USA is waking up to. For me though, Drill is shit.

That is powerful, to the point and should be shown in schools.

On a slightly related note, I woke up to an ex-Eastenders actress calling out Ice-T on the Twatter for being a racist. Only she got her Ices mixed up and ACTUALLY meant Ice Cube.

It's alright though, because she apologised and blamed being pissed and THEN proceeded to ask if Ice-T was racist too

I mean...

What was her issue with Ice Cube?

 

[Icy Gull]

I cannot listen to rap music and if I hear it on the radio I turn it off or change channel, exactly what I do with any tv programmes I don’t like. Not sure why anyone thinks either should be banned or removed. We are living in crazy times, whatever happened to live and let live? None of these things should affect your life to the point of wanting them banned and getting all hot and bothered about imo

I think it's because she saw the lights of the Goodyear blimp and they said "Ice Cube's a Pimp".

 

[Mr Bridger]

Only me

Nah, I had a chuckle and watch the complete hissy fit after it.

Rap.........there is a C missing at the front and it has nothing to do with music whatsoever.

The last few days he posted a bunch of anti-Semitic conspiracy stuff on his twitter.

I still don't know how he " called me out "

None of this please Mike, you will upset the Bad Boyz

You must have a different definition of music to the rest of the world.

"Hissy fit" being calmly calling out a moron for being a moron. Ok......

Did you never get past primary school humour? Tbf, by Y6 (as it is now) he'd have been laughed off the playground for such pathetic backtracking.

He wouldn't even admit that he was making a joke, he said it was fishing. Then he said it was just a joke. Lowest common denominator trolling.

It's not a hissy fit to take down someone for being incredibly stupid. It's also not a hissy fit to be able to write coherent English.

Fortunately everyone apart from the usual suspects can see that.

Typing in simple, short sentences so that you can comprehend. No anger, no drama, just facts.

You are embarrassing yourself explaining all this.

It was a silly joke and fishing, that's all chap.

How is explaining your screw up embarrassing to me?

Hilarious. [emoji23]

 

[OzMike]

I would give this the time of day, but unfortunately it all turned to c..........rap after.
Everyone jumping on the bandwagon, pardon the pun, kind of thing.

If you have the good sense to avoid political discussion with your friends, it does seem to prompt the question as to why you would post such a thread, the response to which you cannot have failed to predict?

Presumably you make the choices you do because you would rather concentrate on what unites you and your friends than prompt division just for the sake of expressing a predictable bit of whataboutism. If that's the case, are we being used as a means for you to vent opinions that could be damaging if expressed to the people you actually care about? If so, perhaps we could be charging you for this valuable service.

The response to all political threads on this board are very predictable, as you intimated. Are you therefore suggesting that either [MENTION=34864]Live by the sea[/MENTION] should not be allowed to open a discussion, or that nobody should be allowed to?

I agree for the most part. Too much of it sounds almost identical. Sparse beat, slow flow & every song featuring the same lyrics & sound effects. However there are a few people out there who have started making something that’s almost commercially viable

Jesus mate, obviously you are highly strung by the the way you chucked in the usual put downs and have taken this to a different level to where it should be.
I’m guessing you were embarrassed in Year 6 and it’s stayed with you all these years so when someone has a little pop you can’t let it go. Even bringing into play the old “ everyone can see” line.

Lay of the gangster rap and listen to some chill out choons.
