OT: An A Legend Is Gone

Well at least Saddam is dead too Sorry but that bastard deserved worse

I am a firm believer in the idea that celebrities die in threes. If a famous person dies I fully expect two more in a short time. So James Brown dies (James Brown is dead. Isn't that the lyrics to some song I hear occasioanlly?). Then Gerald Ford died, so I wondered who next? I guess if they are hung it still counts, so I guess famous people are safe for a little while.

We lost President Ford, wasn't that number 2?

There's nothing wrong with rap - the problem is the rappers. How about some rap that attacks the racism, sexism, materialism and ignorance of the rest of the genre?

Read some of these lyrics:

and maybe pick up some of the songs. "It takes more" is probably her biggest hit yet, but I always liked "put him out."

Or, for something a little more light-hearted, look up the Goldie Lookin Chain. They are crude, unsophisticated, about as subtle as a housebrick but they are refreshingly silly, occasionally hilarious and they do like to take the piss out of many rap conventions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldie_Lookin'_Chain

Also, although I disagree with a lot of his lyrics, I find it impossible not to respect Eminem- When he really lets go, his talent with words and rhythm is nothing short of breathtaking.

Is that kind of like "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?"
