Who was it that asked for something besides the band at halftime?

So, someone can basicly post that he doesn't want "them types" in the stadium with him and not get called out for saying it?

SMoney was referring to a post that I had put up. The photo that was up was NOT what I had linked to and had no business being up on this board --I removed it --and in the process it looks like SM was referring to your post --but believe me it was mine.

My apologies to anyone who saw it.

Thank you for taking that picture away man...that was NOT what I needed to see to get my day going!
:eek:
 
It's interesting as well that those who think this will bring the "wrong element", seem to forget that Andre 3000 at least seemed to be very popular with our players. So we want the kids to come here, but we don't want anything that might interest them or recruits? No one wants a bunch of gangsta rappers hanging around Tech...but if we're afraid of anyone who happens to be black or who appeals to young black kids that says an awful lot about us I think.
 
I like all kind of music..even the occasional rap song. With that said, rap music and the lyrics posted earlier from two of Big Boi's top songs have absolutely no business at halftime of a football game. What is really amusing is to see what is probably mostly middle white aged men come to the defense of having Big Boi, a black rap artist, perform at halftime when more than likely, they had never heard of Big Boi or Andre 3000 until yesterday.

You honestly think they'd allow him to use those lyrics at halftime?

Wow. Brilliant.

Has nothing to do with censorship. I'm sure he himself would not use any language like that at a "family" type event. Like someone else on here pointed out, he does have a children's cartoon on CN. I have watched it with my kids and it is a very good show. Give the guy a little credit. I think things will be just fine.

This is not the kind of rap the gangsta's listen to. In fact, much of their music is very interesting, and some is just downright funny.

Hey ncjacket... here are some more of Big Boi's lyrics... aren't they interesting and funny like you said?!


[Big Boi]
Well it's the rippinest, wickedest MC, bustin hard up out the ginseng
Tell more dope stories than a damn dope house dope fiend
F*** the police, you know me
These hoes blow me slowly, seems like they owe me
Show me the dope don't worry about the cash
Or your girlfriend's gonna be lonely, homey
These rich and these vegetables feeling bony
Don't make me open my book bag and you under scaling on me
You understand me Tony, you look like you wanna go on a boat
But you know I'll leave you bloating or floating
Like sailboats and LTD's. Private, please
I'm the nigga that earned his street stripes
And they've seen me in the Source Magazine
so you can't even pass me three mikes
You get three strikes and about a half of clip of bullets, so run it
And we can go on and get our little prices up
And act like we was on that Teen Summit
 
Well, that would be wrong. Anyone with teenage children has heard of them and has heard at least some of their music. What bothers you most here GeeTee? That you disapprove of some of this lyrics or that this might be a big event for Tech?
 
I don't agree with the lyrics. However I guarantee that if you go back and listen to music of your youth that you'd find lyrics that were just as disappointing.
 
I don't recall any songs about "niggas", killing people, etc... do you?

Rap and black artists is not the issue here... its that it doesn't belong as a halftime performance at a Tech game. Like I said, you gotta laugh at those defending this in the name of filling the stands or because "the players will like it" (which is racist right there) when those defending probably had never heard of Big Boi until recently... I'm so certain that the cd in your car right now is your favorite rap song.. :laugher:
 
The lyrics of my/our (depending on age) youth can't go blameless --but I think a big difference is, all the way back to the 50's through the 80's is that for the most part the music of our youth used a lot of double entendres in the lyrical content.

In a lot of today's music the racy undertones (and especially language) are no longer undertones --instead they're just blantantly thrown out there in the open --which cheapens the creativity IMO.

One of the first artists to be perceived as a villain in the eyes of the establishment was Alice Cooper. He has said that, as bizarre as his stageshow and some of his songs from the 1970's were, his band never used nudity, vulgarity or bad language. He was of the opinion that it just cheapens you as an artist --he was more into the theatrics of suggestion --not realization.

I'll let my 15 year old daughter listen to Alice Cooper --I did introduce her to the tradition of playing 'Schools Out' on the last day of school each year-- but there's a lot of stuff out today that I would not care for her to hear. Fortunately for my wife and I she likes a lot of 80's music and has the fortitude to not want to listen to anything too racy.

NIN, "Closer"
-----------------------
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no soul to tell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
I want to **** you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to **** you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
I want to **** you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to **** you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive
-------------------------------

Not a CD I play when I kids are in the car.
