General Chat / A Dissertation On Why Hip-Hop Needs To Go

« on: November 24, 2012, 12:33:25 AM »

I realize that this is a subject that may be touchey for some, but it needs to be elaborated upon. As you may have gleamed from the title of this thread, I feel that the musical genre of hip-hop (also known as rap, dubstep, etc.) needs to go. I feel that the negative themes that are integral to the genre's sound make it unlistenable-to for the average person. Almost every song is about either "weed" (marijuana, which is illegal), murdering (which is illegal, not to mention immortal), and calls woman "ho's" (slang term short for "whores"). I live near a strip club, and every night I'm forced to hear the loud baselines coming from the building, and it keeps me wild awake (like wide awake, but you can never get to sleep). I feel that the Beatles should be the goal standard for music of all genres. They never swore, and never had gratuatous sexual themes in their music. Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney are the greatest songwriters of probably all time. It may sound corny, but I believe that I was born in the wrong generation when it comes to music - this generation's music is over-produced, and focuses too much on base. And the lyrics are awful (case in point: "Baby baby baby, oh"? What does that even mean?). Yes, I realize, to each's own, but sometimes a line has to be drawn. We don't need murder in our music. We don't need to draw undo attention to girls' butts. We just need to get rid of hip-hop and get back to plain old good music.

I have seen the face of evil, and it is called the Ogre-Faced Spider. Google at your own discretion, arachnophobes.

Oh my gosh, that's terrifying! I would have never expected it to look anything like that. That name is really quite a misnomer, since it doesn't look anything like an actual ogre.

You're going to have to specify what kind of trip.

I'm so glad we don't have cassettes (video or audio) anymore. My uncle had a really mean habit when I was a kid where he would take some of my favorite movies and music tapes, get them wet, leave them in his car for a week or so, and then bring them back. He always had me convinced he had only lost them, but when I played the tapes I was chagrinned to find that the visuals were all scary, colorful, and beny. More nightmare fuel. I would inevitably end up in the feeble position until my parents got home. This just goes to show that even though a technology can be made with good intentions, it really only ends up causing more pain than gain.

My dad and I just finished building a new Shrelf (Shrek Shelf) for me to hold all of my Shrek-related stuff! The boards were pretty heavy and I'd never used a hammer before, but once it was all done it was pretty easy in hindsight. My most recent addition, the Halloween Pale (INSANELY detailed by the way, it's a real treat when you look at it up close), went straight in the center. And now I have some new experience as a handyman, too!

CrossEyed7, a Brogre is someone who is a fan of the Shrek movies, much in the same way that Bronies are fans of My Little Pony. We also like to use Ogirls for the girls among us (of which there are plenty, trust me!).

Today I found out that my younger brother - who is a total brat! - stomped on my piggy bank. I'm not greedy or anything, but I like having all my money in one place. Needless to say, I was putrified by this. Without a place to keep my money, how will I afford a new piggy bank?

It's a vicious cycle.

Hi, everyone. My name is Richard, and I thought it'd be epic to make myself at home here. As you might have guest from my username, I am a Brogre. Yes, I realize that we have gotten some bad press on the internet from Shrek-haters and trolls, but I assure you, I'm a very cool and productive poster.

In addition to my love for Shrek, I also like Mario. That's how I discovered this site. I'm also a huge fan of Internet Meme Faces, and when I went on Know Your Meme and found out that my favorite Meme Face, Advice Dog, started here, and right from the gecko, I just knew I had to join. I also have brown hair.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I promise my posts in the future won't be so wordy!
