My brother went to one of his early concerts right before he became a big name.
He comes across as a really dumb and ignorant person, judging by those lyrics. Wonder what people like MosDef think about those lyrics.(MosDef usually starts his albums with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim). " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Which in itself probably deserves a question or two answered by PurplePants. [Edited 12/17/08 14:09pm] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Yes! Although, I think he included black men in his dumb-fuck statements, as well. | |

That was actually David Allen Coe. | |

Yes! Although, I think he included black men in his dumb-fuck statements, as well. I knew it was something to that effect. I thought it was in response to his kid being dumped by a black girl, or am I thinking of someone else?  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

He's actually talking about how bad it would look to have the public catch him using that word. Talk about a lack of self-awareness. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Why was Prince never taken to task for the scene in Under The Cherry Moon or the lyrics for The Time's Ice Cream Castles? "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

Maybe because it's not indisputably a racially-based situation? Some saw his negative reaction as because the woman was black, and some saw the negative reaction as because she was older and fat. It's not really clear either way. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Imago said: 3) Axel Rose from guns and roses sang a blue collar, "common man's" song and used the N-word. the song was called "one in a million". The song also has a harshly xenophobic "Immagrants and f@ggots, they make no sense to me..They come to our country and think they'll do as they please. Like start some mini-iRan, or spread some fucking disease...".. Regretful lyrics since the song is so good. Even more ironic considering that Slash is half black. He says this contributed to him leaving the group. | |

 He was specifically talking about his son's girlfriend who is black. | |

Axl is a tool. y'all are wrong, Slash didn't care.....from Wikipedia: Fellow GN'R member, Slash, whose mother is black, noted that he did not condone the song but did not condemn his bandmate, commenting in a 1991 interview with Rolling Stone: "When Axl first came up with the song and really wanted to do it, I said I didn't think it was very cool... I don't regret doing 'One in a Million,' I just regret what we've been through because of it and the way people have perceived our personal feelings." | |

It'd be like Wendy saying she left the Revolution because she was really ticked off about her lines in Purple Rain. | |

1) Katt Williams standups always involve frequent use of the n-word. Even in context, he uses it so liberally, it makes me cringe. I understood the point he made in his attack on Micheal Jackson when he said, "Fuck Micheal. He forgot that he was a n@gga. He forgot that he was a n@gga. He forgot that he was a n@gga." Although it's still terribly distasteful, I sort of understood the power of what he was saying in that context. In general, I just don't understand why he'd want to use the word at all. 2) Up until the Larry Graham years, Prince's frequent use of hot love interests opposite him in music videos and movies never showed a black woman. It was always latino or white. The added insult in Under the Cherry Moon was that the only black woman that the movie even implied had slept with Christopher Tracey, was the scary old "Christapha, ha ha ha ha ha ha" woman that causes him to run screaming. ` I'm black and I felt what Katt said was fucked up in general. People in the black community have this notion of not being "black enough" "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

I just had a conversation about the glaring absence of black women being cast as Prince's love interests. I love Prince to death, but I still call him Cap'n Colorstruck...I used to wonder if he had some sort of cataclysmic experience with a black woman that caused him to become a bit neurotic.
In high school, my friends used to tease me and say, "I bet you gonna marry Prince one day". To which I'd reply, "I'm black and opinionated - a distinct and definite impossibility"!  | |

"You'll be screaming like a white lady when I count to three." Freedom is to trust that you're doing what you must according to your lust | |

In the song from his 1992 symbol album, 'The Flow' Prince sings "Girl I hate 2 say it, Nigga Please"
It was a totally offensive and unnecessary attempt 2 sound cool and fit in with the still emerging hiphop culture of the time which he was not and will not ever be a part of.. Shame on U Prince Wake up children, dance the dance electric... there isn't much time.... who farted?  ...was it u? | |

I saw an interview he did this year where he said he had a problem with it and that it DID contribute to him leaving the band. He also touches on it in the Black List interview.

Shame on U Prince  Saying "nigga, please" doesn't have anything to do with "fitting in with hip hop culture" and I'd venture to say the "culture" had emerged way before '92. | |

Now its obvious that the Prince of 1992 was trying to fit in with hiphop culture. At the time it was the only acceptable arena for using the N word in public apart from black comedians If y notice i said 'still emerging' hip hop culture..which it was and is even 2day also  Wake up children, dance the dance electric... there isn't much time.... who farted? ...was it u? | |
