Avo, like always, you don't know what you're saying. Shallowness? Just because I'm posting about an upcoming artist from my second hometown who has actually been able to put the meaning back into the genre of music I've grown up with?

you mistake the use of controversial words, such as "Iraq" with actual meaning. his songs have as much meaning as Kelis's "Milkshake" if an artist uses the n-word, it doesnt make his song meaningful; same thing with saying something about Iraq.

"one where a soldier justifies his decision for "fighitng in a war [he] doesn't believe in" by saying that that wars have been fought since the time of Jesus"

yeah, and thats shallow as hell.

Avo you're hopeless =S

and you're a retard

dumbest logic ever. it happened in the past, so i should do it now. no one can be that stupid naturally; did your mom do crack when she was pregnant with you? hell, that wouldnt even explain it; she would have to do multiple things like, crack, alcohol, and smoking while she was pregnant, and then drop you on your head like 2 dozen times and accidentally put you in a microwave on high for 10 secs as an infant.

you're a better argument for abortion then anything else i've ever come across.

i am grown up; im not the retard who uses the excuse that something has happened in the past, so i should do it in the present. or the retard that thinks the other retard's excuse is deep and intriguing logic. there is no reasoning with people your lvl of stupidity.

"First of all it is not me who the lyrics are sung by, so I don't know why you keep referring to me for."

idiot that believes the other idiot is the larger idiot.

"You're saying that it sounds ridiculuous which is EXACTLY the point. "

its only a point if thats an argument people use, which it isnt. making the point that the sky is blue is only a point if people actually think its not blue. he doesnt present an argument why it is is ridiculous, he relies on the ridiculousness of it to do it, which shows that he knows that everyone knows its ridiculous, so there is no point, so its shallow. whats his next song going to be about? that B is not the first letter int he alphabet?

Until the mentality
That holds one race superior
And another, inferior,
Is overcome, and destroyed,
There will be war.

How deep.

yep it's deep if you open your eyes and ears

WTF more flaming
where's a forum nazi when you need one

deep lyrics?

Shocklee - Sadler - Ridenhour
I get down to what it is
And if it ain't funky (see ya)
People askin' me what's goin' on
With my mind
(Huh) wait a minute
It's just a matter of race
Cause a black male's in their face
Step back for the new jack swing
On the platter scatter huh
We got our own thing
Just jam to let the rhyth run
Day to day, America eats it's young
And defeats our women
There is a gap so wide we all can swim in
Drown in (uh get down) an get it
Got it goin' on wit it
Sister (hey) soul sister
We goin' be all right
It takes a man to take a stand
Understand it takes a
Woman to make a stronger man
(As we both get strong)
They'll call me a crazy Asiatic
While I'm singin' a song
Oh my god, oh my lord
I can't hold back
But I get exact on a track
It's an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Forget about me
Just set my sister free
R-e-s-p-e-c-t my siters, not my enemy
(Cause we'll be stronger together)
And make the suckers say
(Damn) this generation
They don't know what we got goin' is (sound)
To turn it all around
To my sisters I communicate
With the bass and tone
Thru speakers and the microphone
Cause I'm tired of America dissin' my sisters
(For example, like they dissed Tawana)
And they try to say she's a liar
My people don't believe it
But even now they're getting higher
Of the feeling inspiration
We must know that in this nation
Every single generation
(They teach us how to dis our sisters)
Stange as you say, I say revolution
Need for change brings on revolution
The great book just look see solution
God chooses who and what for the bruisin'
There's been no justice for none
Of my sisters
Just us been the ones that's been missin' her
Now we got to protect
We get together and damn this generation
I said so to what it is
Where it is
She needs a li'l respect
There it is
I say she needs a lotta
Brother from a mother like me has gotta
Give it up
Give it now
And pass it all around
To my soul (sister)
They disrespected mama and treated her like dirt
America took her, reshaped her, raped her
Nope, it never made the paper
Beat us, mated us
Made us attack our woman in black
So I said sophisticated B, don't be one
Not to head the warning crack of dawn
Or is it the dawn of crack?
Stop the talk they say, but
We talk and say whats right or wrong
Some say we wasting time singin' a song
But why is it that we're many different shades
Black woman's privacy invaded years and years
You cannot count my mama's tears
It's not the past but the future's
What she fears
Strong we be strong
The next generation
It's what not who we are facin'
The fingers pointed to us in our direction
The blind state of mind needs correction
Word to the mother we tighten connection
To be a man you need no election
This generation generates a new attitude
Sister to you we should not be rude
So we come together
And make 'em all say
Damn this generation

but screw that and get crunk to solja boy, huh!!! Jesus.

Bravo...avo reveals his true self
Like I said before, you are acting like a child, be mature, you'll never get anywhere in life like this.
And you're not listening in the literal meaning of it here, I'm sure you still haven't read the lyrics for most the songs I posted about

I'm not of African-American decent by the way.

i listened to one song, your favorite one; and i really listened to it, its crap. the guy's "work of art" is the song, not the lyrics. if his song doesnt portray his message better then his lyrics, he's a shitty artist. and yes, i am listening in the literal meaning of the word. and i didnt say you were african-american decent, i said you were black; and i dont give a damn if you consider yourself half-brown.

It is not hard to understand what rappers are saying.

I observed no level of sophistication in the videos, music, and lyrics this thread has led me to enduring so far.

His music is as juvenile as you. It's just a fact.

Just out of curiosity what are some of your favorite artists/bands? Question goes out to everyone.
