I've never heard of the Neptunes.

By the time the 1990s arrived, I basically abandoned all mainstream music and got into house music. By around 1994, the house music started sounding repetitive to me as more and more techno started taking over. Then, I started getting more into pop/rock. Then, the pop/rock started sounding slower and more "folk like". After that, I said the hell with most of the new music and started rediscovering old pop/rock (something I was not into back in the day because I was so heavy into R&B back then).

I've heard of many of the new artists....I can't help it....their music is everywhere, but I don't care for any of them. Every once in a while, someone new catches my ear but it's on very rare occassions.

I like him until she he used "Niggerbitch" in a song

There is no excuse for that. Plain and simple

Exactly.

I have his first album, but when he got big and started talking about other celebrities instead of himself, I lost interest. Then, when the racial stuff came out, he just repulsed me. There are elementary schoold kids who know not to use derogotory terms like that and for him to record it is just...disgusting

Ditto the gay slurs.

Verse 2]
I'd roam in the streets so much, they'd call me a drifter
Sometimes I'd stick up a thumb just to hitchhike
Just to get picked up, to get me a lift to
8 Mile and Van Dyke, or steal a God damn bike
From somebody's backyard, and drop it off at the park
That was the halfway mark, to me Kim had to walk
Back to her momma's, from Chalmers, after dark
To sneak me in the house, when I'm kicked out my mom's
That's about the time, I first met Proof with Goofy
Gary on the steps that I was born, handin out some flyers
We was doin some talent shows at Centerline
I had told him to stop by and check us some time
He looked at me like I'm out my mind
Shook his head, like white boys don't know to rhyme
I spit out a line, and rhymed birthday with first place
And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike
We was on the same shit, that Big Daddy Kane shit
With compound syllables sound combined
From that day we was down to ride
Somehow we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line

[Verse 3]
My first year of ninth grade, can't forget that day of school
It was cool, 'til your man MC Shan came through
And said that "Puma's the brand, cause the Klan makes Troops"
It was rumors, but man, God damn, they flew
Must have been true, because man, we done banned they shoes
I had the new ones, the Cool J, ice lamb, suede too
But we just threw them in the trash, like they yesterday's news
Guess who came through next, X-Clan debuted
+Professor X+ ("Vanglorious") exist in a state of
+red, black, and green with a KEY, SISSIES!+
Now with this bein the new trend, we don't fit in
Crackers is out, with "Cactus Albums," blackness is in
African symbols and medallions, represent black power
And we ain't know what it meant, me and my man Howard
and Butter would go to the mall
with them all over our necks like we're showin 'em off
Not knowin at all we was bein laughed at
"You ain't even half black; you ain't 'posed to have that
homey, let me grab that, and that Flava Flav clock
we gon' have to snatch that," all I remember is meetin back at
Manics's basement, sayin how we hate this
How racist but dope the X-Clan's tape is
Which reminds me, back in eighty-nine me
and Kim broke up for the first time, she was tryin to two-time me
And there was this black girl at our school who thought I was cool
cause I rapped, so she was kinda eyein me
And oh, the irony, guess what her name was
Ain't even gonna say it plus, the same color hair as hers was
And blue contacts, and a pair of jugs
The bombest God damn girl in our whole school
If I could pull it, not only would I become more popular
But I would be able to piss Kim off at the same time
But it backfired, I was supposed to dump her
But she dumped me for this black guy, and that's the last I
ever seen or heard or spoke to the "Ol' Foolish Pride" girl
But I've heard people say they heard the tape, and it ain't that bad
But it was, I singled out a whole race
And for that I apologize (apologize) I was wrong (was wrong)
Cause no matter what color a girl is she's still a ho

So, the girl is a ho because she dumped him for a black guy?

A 14 year old knows not to say nigger and his apology means nothing to me. He is only apologizing because it came out. Plain and simple

Janfriend said:

Exactly. This motherfucker's apology is full of shit.
