Man, it is very disconcerting to be an old white dude who recalls rap from my youth. What am I supposed to do?

On behalf of America, however, I think we should all disavow Tony Orlando, with or without Dawn. That shit should go back to the elevator it was born in and just descend to the basement.

As a crotchety old dude: real music requires actual instruments.

Some hip hop qualifies. Some does not.

That probably makes me a bigot.

The police say we can't drink in the bar, ain't it a shame?

It's a dumb sector to alienate even further. Rap has been the new rock n roll for thirty years. The media covers it like crazy.

And the cost of what West and others might do in reply outweighs gaining cred with bigots whose votes you've already got sealed.

...Unless further division is intended. (I just reached that bleak consideration listening to Cohen's "You Want it Darker." Seems a perfectly morose compliment to that thought.)

Twice on the pipes if the answer is no.

Two days in a row? Did you not even like their variety show? And how can you not love a song about a prisoner returning home to see that his love is still there for him? Jesus Christ!

So New Order and PE are...?

I hate synth pop as well, but come on.

Color me ba...er, impressed!

I hated the skits. Terrible. It's like they listened to 3 Feet High and decided to take it 18 steps further.

There were like 3 really good songs on that album, though.

Maybe not a ringing endorsement for a vacation destination. Getting across the border was relatively painless (obviously more work on the way back than on the way in).

I'm just going to say what everyone is thinking here: Get tested immediately. What he just said to you is that he's into some freaky ass dirty shit.

You say this as though there's such a thing as freaky ass clean shit.

Tie a yella ribbon round it dude.

Right, that guy. It's just that he's just as zoning obsessed under his real name.

No he isn't. He's saying that his traditional America doesn't include blacks and rap. White nationalism and Trump's base see themselves as belonging to a community, if one without zoning laws, defined primarily by race and culture, and that's not his culture.

Yes. But the entire hip hop community consists of pretty much everyone who isn't into country AND western under the age of 50.
