Well, it has to do with the fact that you had no clue what you were/are talking about and frontrow pointed it out.

And in your opinion that makes their message invalid?

Maybe they would if people like you would listen to what they are saying rather than discounting it due to their race, occupation, or social status. If you disagree with the message, that's fine. But your reasons for disagreeing are just plain stupid and ignorant.

The irony remains.
The only one raging against a certain race is you. I own every Rage album and they never blame any race for the injustices they discuss. As pointed out, they are indeed ethnically diverse. De La Rocha has been very involved with social movements here and in Central and South America, they are not just saying liberal things to get liberals to buy their CDs.

Clearly. I never asked you to agree with the message, just don't discard it due to its medium. If you read something you disagreed with, would you blame the paper it was printed on? If musicians (and highly educated ones in this case) can't have a voice, then who can? Professors? No, I'm sure Rush has told you not to believe the liberal universities. Journalists? No, certainly Rush has warned you of the scary "liberal media!" In a free country like America, people get to speak their message regardless of race, occupation, social status, etc.. that's what makes our country great. What ruins our country is ignorance like you are exhibiting.

sorry just saw this was really about rap
Yeah. I really like rap. Mostly hip hop though. I like Kanye...tribe called quest...k-os...black eyed peas...common...busta rhymes, the phracyde, and others...I also like dancehall and regueton...a couple of rap cousins...although regueton and and dancehall are overlapping with rap alot nowadays. Not really into crunk but its aiight sometimes.

OK you win Czar.

Hopefully someday I'll be as open-minded and nonjudgemental as you have demonstrated yourself to be :dry:

(This all started with a sarcastic comment from me, so i guess that's how it should end) 😁

Truer words were never spoken. And I guess we should add "music" to the list of things to not talk about on this forum. So that list looks like:

1. Bad records we don't hold yet.
2. Religion
3. Music
4. Whether or not the Loyalists are "elitists"


Any more I'm not aware of?
