the mtv "soul train" awards
« on: August 30, 2004, 02:57:00 pm »
and here i thought rock music existed.  i guess rap artists were the only musicians putting out videos in 2004.  i did find it hysterical that the viewers choice awards, which is a representation of what the viewers of mtv want to see, had not a single rap video nominated.  hmm; interesting.

and please don't call me racist.  i'm not.  i listen to some rap, for some of it can actually be described as music . . . , but to have every category of ever category nothing but a jay-z vs. usher competition was completely ridiculous.

Yea,
 
 I have a friend that is black, so I am not a racist either.
 
 Why even bring up race, are there not shite white rappers too? Has no one forgotten Northern State, I mean the Beastie Boys?

i'm not going to watch it.  but might give up in watch it in a couple of months....
 
 i watched dead like me instead.  i love that show.  Showtime has the best shows.  bullshit, dead like me, and jerimiah(luck perry's show...i think)
 
 i also saw a preview for the the new trey parker/matt stone movie.  it has action figures so trey can just do voices and doesnt have to attempt to act.

Don't forget Vanilla Ice! Without him we'd be at least a thousand punchlines fewer.   :p

And of course the worlds best rapper is a cracker, but the worlds greatest golfer is a brotha...so those cancel out I suppose.  ;)

"Greatest" and "rapper" are two words I wouldn't use in the same sentence.

Which is exactly why I used the word "best"

i'm not sure if anybody in here but myself watched the thing, but i hung on until the end, because i waited...and waited...for the polyphonic spree to come on.  and they were introduced by mar. manson, who couldn't care a less about being there or the poly's at all, so blow him. blow him out mandy moore's douche bag. oh, and i only brought up the race thing because i thought i was going to beat someone to the punch.  i've never been sure weather to throw the beastie's into the "rap" world.  they play instruments and don't 100% rely on samples and stealing others' music to make their own.  plus the beastie boys promote non-violence and intelligence, something which lit' john and the ying-yang twins seem far from grasping beyond their chalices of crap.

Well that is not like an American at all, launching a pre-emptive strike.   :roll:
