The Raging Republican,

What rap album are you refering to specifically?

Chops,

Are you too close to this? Raging was making a funny.

Yes. I was making a funny, but Chops got me thinking so I did a little search for song lyrics to back up my point:

The Nigga Ya Love To Hate
By Ice Cube

“Now who do ya love to hate
Cause I talk sh** and down the eight-ball
Cause I don’t fake you’re begging I fall off
The crossover might as well cut them balls off
And get your a** ready for the lynching
The mob is droppin common sense and
We’ll gank in the pen will shank
Any Tom Dick and Hank or get the a**”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trouble (Eve Of Destruction)
By blackalicious

“I’m breaking all yall necks in half flex

know the mathmatic formulas of fury

hey lets go the path of the terror dome zone dwellar

never goin gold

nigga better phone home

tell them mail a chrome tombstone

head up on a pedastal

a medical attention couldnt ever make it better from the metaphor of lynching”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rollin Wit Connect
Verse 1: Binky Mack

“Business and pleasure make up your own mind

You gotta be a hoe on your own time

Don’t sleep cause even on a solo creep

Nigga Connect is still deep

And we’ll play ya just like a trick

You thought you got with the crew you can’t f**k with

So get the noose cause ya we still lynching
”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holla Back!

I don’t think that I would hesitate to use the term crucify in it’s accepted sense (i.e. when someone is tormented or treated very cruelly) with the pastor at my church.

Would you use it in jest, like “I’m going to crusify little Timmy if he cheats in checkers again”, given that it has a meaning apart from its connection with Christianity?

Would I jokingly threaten to torment someone or treat him cruelly?! No! But that has absolutely nothing to do with Christ’s crucifixion.

…and you are just starting to scratch the surface!

mpChops (#65)-
Well aren’t you just contentious today! What got your panties in a bunch?

Rusy and lgm have the day off so he has to pull a triple shift.

Are you sure you’re thinking of the same group? My friend gave me the group’s name, not the lyrics. How about you try looking some up? Here’s a fun sample for you:
“The crackers ain’t s***; chase them out of the jungle; now raise up off the planet… we get the 12 gauge; shot to the chest… we hitting devils up… Da Lench Mob, environmental terrorist… I gripped the Glock and had to knock his head from his shoulders…. I got the .30[6] on the rooftop; pop; pop; so many devils die… make sure I kill them… lynch a thousand a week if it’s necessary”

When is lynching rhetoric acceptable?

Anytime you feel like it. Just be prepared for the onslaught of race-baiters and hucksters out for your hide.

Oops, I said hide. My apologies to all fur-bearing animals I might have offended.

“Lord, I apologize for that right there, and please be with the starvin’ pygmies down there in New Guinea, A-men”

Q: Why didn’t Jesus get into medical school?
A: He got nailed on his boards.

Then a minister and a rabbi walked into the bar.

Better call the waaaahmbulance. I can hear the whiners now.

Kill whitey lyrics? I think your friend might be mistaken. I remember a couple of their songs, and they weren’t “kill whitey” but “I’m a gang-banger. Look what I can do.” Selling drugs. Shooting up places. Stupid, senseless stuff, no doubt, which is why I wasn’t a fan. I don’t think they ever even used “lynch” when they weren’t saying it as part of their name.

As there not being uproar over their lyrics, there was uproar over ALL the raps lyrics of that era. Remember, that was right after NWA, when rap was just becoming mainstream. They simply didn’t make a mark to distinguish them from the rest of the pack.

Again, I don’t think lynching is a theme that you’ll hear on rap albums.

RaisedRight and AlturaCT,

Would you joke about crusifying people with the priest at your church

Sorry, I missed this one before. I don’t think that I would hesitate to use the term crucify in it’s accepted sense (i.e. when someone is tormented or treated very cruelly) with the pastor at my church. It is a word that has a meaning apart from it’s connection to Christianity and my pastor is certainly able to see that.

I would rather be lynched than listen to a rap album.

“Lord, I apologize for that right there, and please be with the starvin’ pygmies down there in New Guinea, A-men”

name ONE rap album that he’s listened to

I would rather be lynched than listen to a rap album.

Yeah, I know he was making a joke, but it’s a tired joke. At least the other poster that wrote about rap tied it to the subject. I mean, we could make a ad-lib with what Raging wrote:

Q: When is (verb)(adjective)(noun) acceptable?

A: On a rap album?

Q: When is nuking gay baby whales acceptable?

A: On a rap album.

I’m just asking the man to name ONE rap album that he’s listened to.
