2019 Hype

First off let me just say how much I appreciate you being my huckleberry. 2nd of all, I could not agree with you more. As a high school administrator I am around the "community" and the "artform" they entertain themselves with every day all day. The majority of them do not lack values and are indeed decent human beings I am proud of. However, the music they listen to is well short of any respectable "artform" and is pure vulgar trash glorifying drugs, guns, murder, whores, and straight up indecency. Just call it what it is... Garbage. Remove the lyrics though and you're left with a pretty sick beat. Too bad it's uncool to listen to plain old sick beats.
Having said all that, if garbage music lures in recruits I say blast it loud and hype away.

Thanks. And for the record, here's the thing . . . Like you imply in your post, it's not "beat" or the "music." It's the lyrics. Using the N-word is the height of hypocrisy. If you don't want people to sing or say an offensive word, it shouldn't be said or sung or included in a song in the first place. And if you do use it, but expect others to not use it in the same context, you're promoting racism by asserting a kind of black privilege to deny a white person the same freedom and dignity that should belong to both of you. There's nothing more racist than holding an innocent individual responsible for a collective crime to which that person was never a part because of the color of their skin. The N-word is context sensitive, not skin-color sensitive. Until everybody gets that, it shouldn't be used at all. And, by the way, I appreciate your pragmatism. But, tell me how anybody gets off criticizing N'kosi for taping two things everyone glorifies all day, every day. Why not use those in a hype video?

Hmm. Music lures recruits? Most posters here say bags get the recruits. Are you confused?
