Rap not cool. Rap stupid.

Based on his behavior in the video I suspect that he does more cocaine than Marion Barry. It is no wonder he had a heart attack and is likely due for another soon.

Yeah, Bulworth is really farking obscure. It's like that time I posted a picture of Carrot Top in thread about red-headed people. That was SO obscure!

Is the mayor a doctor? Named Dre? Dr. Dre?

Yeah that was just about as funny as Bulworth too... As in not. Very.

I actually liked Bulworth. Then again, I'm straight and Halle Berry was in it, so I guess mileage varies.

Rap is for people too stupid to keep a melody.

UfarkHead: Rap is for people too stupid to keep a melody.

Yeah, cause no one has incorporated a melody into hip-hop! It's rhythmic music anyway, that's the point. Is rock for people too square to keep rhythm? The most intelligent lyrics I ever heard were in a rap song, but then again some of the dumbest shiat I heard was in a pop rap song. Let's just agree that pop anything usually sucks and when the genre is treated as an art it is good. Oh and I actually heard a good mainstream hip-hop song this year, Day N Nite, I'm sure most of y'all heard it by now.

No, the world's coolest mayor is Oscar Goodman

2nd Grade Class: "If you were on a desert island and could have one thing what would it be."
Mayor Goodman: "A good martini"

Reporter: "Mayor Goodman, what do you have to say about the massage parlors allegedly being a front to prostitution."
Mayor Goodman: "I'll look in to."

Ya, that song is really good and original. I hadn't seen the video yet though. What a trip!

Uhh... the comment's on the quality of the surveilance video, not its relative obscurity. I'd seen better video on early webcams.

I thought the world's coolest mayor was R.T. Rybak of Minneapolis.

You show me another mayor who has crowd surfed:

I clicked thinking it would be Tim Shadbolt.

Len Brown. Really? Is he trying to get one of the speshul 'ethnic' seats on the new Super City Council?

Hey, I love Led Zeppelin, but this is a new era and we got good music now too. It's for different moments. Sometimes you want to hear a sick ballad and sometimes a song that bumps and is raw.

Led Zeppelin was never this real. It's just farkin hard as hell and isn't that why some farkers like heavy metal. It's not stupid either, just raw. Never heard a rock band make such striking political music like this NSFW song which ain't for the sensitive. It's not all that depressing though, try this. Some of it is emotional, and some of it is just fun. Very diverse. You at least gotta respect the emotional example I put up. If you don't I give up. Just tryna spread good tunes.

Now this version be fun yo.

Ha, I love that version, it's that song on meth or something. INTENSE!

Yes. It is obscure. I have no idea what that image is representing.

Err. Wait... No. I meant No. No it isn't obscure.

/seriously?

Cuz the key all voters want in a mayor is the ability to rap freestyle.

Not to mention, he was in "Casino", basically playing himself (as a lawyer)

He was playing himself. He's quite open about the fact he used to be a mob lawyer. During one of those "Top 10 Questions about Vegas" shows on the Travel channel one of the questions was "Does the mob still control Vegas?" There was blah blah about legislation and tight gaming controls and all that, then it cut to Oscar, in his office, saying "No, the mob doesn't control Vegas. If they did, I would know, I used to represent them."

I'm gonna miss him after this term, damn term limits. Stupid idea. We already had term limits, we just called them "elections".
