: : Well... and I think Foghat's cover of "I Just Want To Make Love To You" is pretty funky, so...
: : It seems like someone should come up with a clever saying about everyone having opinions...
: Maybe so, but I find it unfair that every time hip-hop is mentioned on this board (which isn't all that much), it's always done in order to be shat upon by (usually very white) people who often literally don't know a goddamn thing about it ("Hip-hop is just niggers talking.")
I've certainly haven't seen much of that kind of blatant racism.
: Seems like the only exception is when Kevin comes on to praise groups that he loves - PE, etc. - which always feels a bit weird, since 99% of his fans, who seem to share 99% of his interests, have no connection there at all.
I've seen PE and Run-DMC praised on here as often on here as any of the other things that Kevin expresses a liking for. I believe I've even seen Ruggie there praise one or two of those. I think this is mostly in your head.
I am curious why people get special treatment for dying recently. It seems odd to me. I can make fun of them while they're alive. No problem. I can make fun of them when they've been dead a while. If they're funny, they're funny, I say.
