what kind of music do you all listen to?

I'm not that much of a rap fan at all and I wouldn't even consider myself that big of a music fan at all. My wife on the other hand sweeps every section on music when watching jeopardy, LOL Down who wrote what and who covered what.

From the outside looking in, just like everything else the last guy has to be one-upped by the next guy. One must out gangsta the next.

I found it so funny that when Michael Irving's son went gangsta Irving said on TV, "but you come from a gated community". I thought that was sort of 'typical'.

To show how far out of touch with rap I am maybe 10-12-14 years ago we were in the upstate area of SC and I met this guy named Earl. We talked, we hung out for few, seen some things, loaded up and drove home. On the ride home my buddy asked me did I know the guy and I said other than some called him Earl and some called him D, nope don't know him.

I was then introduced to rap music by a guy called DMX.

I was that really square white guy that is such easy material for most every black comedian.

Yep. They told me stuff like that on the ride home.

It was a puppy picnic when I met him.

As you guys name off some of the rappers above if one walked in the door right now I would again be totally clueless.

Just as clueless as I was that day way back when.

A friend of mine just read this and texted it's bad when someone could name drop someone you actually met and you still have no fucking clue.

I'm going with ignorance being bliss.

Sorry to get off the music topic.

Maybe the funniest part is that I had to be told afterwards and still had no idea.

The dogs are far reaching and I think a lot of us would be surprised if the who's who list was actually made known.

 

Also, I listen to a lot of the youtube videos you guys post and the guy that did the "if Morgan Wallen were Black" and the Tracy Chapman "Fast Cover" were really good.

Most of the artists that are posted is the first time I ever heard of them too.

I'm more of a "if the radio makes noise and passes the time as I drive" music fan than anything.

Nice thread.

No doubts. The boundaries the dogs help people cross is amazing.

I stood in the back of a room full of people doing their evening prayers holding a match dog ready to wash at a time when all middle easterners were considered either terrorists or a part of a terrorist cell. The tension could be cut with a knife. When it was over it was one of the best group of people I ever participated with in any endeavor.

The guy that turned me onto the dogs as a kid was racist as all get out. His wife once told him that he could hate 'him' that much because he was always invited over or he was going to his house. He would reply, " I do hate 'them' that much but he has some really good dogs".

Even if all the boxes are checked to dislike someone for whatever idiotic reason, a good dog will bridge that gap. LOL

Funny how that works.

No doubts there.

My wife and I were on the cabin porch on Monday night and the subject of spam and telemarketing calls came up as she had back to back calls on her phone.

I said, come to think of it I have not have ne in months. Not even reminding me my car warranty had expired. Nothing at all.

Tuesday morning by 11am I had a loan to pay off all my debt, a offer to buy my house, a consolidation loan against the equity in my house, another extended car warranty and an emergent message from the White House from Obama to vote Democrat.

On Tuesday night I kept my mouth shut as I have not phone the 'big brother listening device' in my yard.

And yep, that is him. Seemed like a nice enough guy. It was straight business, not a lot of hooplah with that particular crowd. We were in and out in short order. All business on both sides.
