anyone ever see the movie UNDISPUTED? all of the No Talent, I mean No Limit rappaz, should be locked away...WTF is up with their idea of the national anthem?

C-OckRepository

Yeah, I actually like them too. However, It's just too easy to make fun of anyone who's worked with Justin Timberlake.

Anyways back to the point, for every guy in the industry like C murder, there's a thousand who are good decent people who you never hear about.

VoicesCarry asks:

By the way, why hasn't the "rap-is-an-authentic-art-form" crowd crawled out of the woodwork yet?

Oh it is an artform...the question is "is it music?" or merely a derivative of music given it's reliance for the most part on sampled music--usually tunes made popular by someone else.

Also...

Rap in the modern sense (fans of old Country music know that black dudes from the ghetto weren't the first to talk over a record), descends from Disco. "Wrapper's Delight", "Rapture", the list goes on. If Run DMC made it fashionable later on to add a hard rock tune/beat in the background instead of a Disco beat, it's just a horse of a different color, but still a horse. Indeed, many people would argue that early 80s "dance music" was nothing more than Disco with an obligatory guitar solo thrown in....

C-Murder is stupid, because he's going to jail and will no longer have his uber-hot girlfriend, R&B diva Monica... mmmm Monica...

Boo-farkin-hoo.. rot in there.

name yourself C-Murder so you sound hard, kill somebody, and weep in court after you're convicted?!?

puhleeeze..

fark_indiana

But he will make someone a hot girlfriend in the showers.

Technically his family was doing all the weeping. My guess is that he was trying to figure out how he was going to avoid the Aryan Nation dudes that will be gunning for him for the next 50 years....

If his name was C-Pacifist would this have been ironic?

Why does everyone want to kill me?

Take off the tinfoil, bub.


Oh, come now, everyone knows that Bubs ain't white.

Hdhale: Maybe he can get work in the kitchen. Then he's at least got Pancamo and O'Reilly on his side.

oh wait...

C-Murder is stupid, because he's going to jail and will no longer have his uber-hot girlfriend, R&B diva Monica... mmmm Monica...

Holy fark! This...this...product is going out with Monica?

There truly is no God.

Seriously though droogmilk, I think taking from behind is the least of this guy's worries right now. He'd be a cool trophy kill to some guys in the joint.

--h

it is indeed ironic, if (and only if) you see his name as a protest against pigeonholing rappers as murderers.

For a rapper, he's not very original, is he?

Did mystikal get convicted? Just curious.

hdhale: Well it all matters what facility he goes to. There might be a lot of people there who've been on the inside long enough to have never heard of him.

Hell, I didn't really know a lot about him till now.

Do any Americans ever use the word "ironic" correctly?!

Like if the C stood for Cease. Now its for Convicted!

Not to my knowledge. I knew a girl who went out with Mystikal (someone else from new orleans, for those who didn't know) and she said he was a very nice guy. And quite respectable. She's close to me, and wouldn't have any reason to lie. As far as i know about the guy, he wouldn't do something like this, especially after his older sister (his best friend) was killed by her boyfriend at the time.

LazyFarker: Homer Simpson did, when he was being shut down by chiropractors.

how many posts does a thread need before it goes from numerical count to "Pi", "Lots", or "infinity"?

I see this one hitting that mark in no time flat.

Wait, when Cube said wreck, did he mean "Beat Up" or "fark"?

because I didn't really get how souther rappers could be so violent towards womwen until I realized what "cut her" meant.

Actually, they had another suspect in custody first who, during questioning, pointed them in the the right direction:

"Me murder? No! C-Murder, he murder!"

souther...womwen...

glad I'm not a spelling nazi...

just jail all these loser rappers en masse and be done with it.

Why do these millionaire rappers still go around shooting/stabbing people and getting in fights at nightclubs and shiat?

C Murder's a millionaire?

The funny thing is this isn't just a hip-hop problem. Did anyone see 24-hour Party people?

All sorts of violent shiat can go down at the clubs

Weemill, you are right. The tacky dressing styles and the diva behaviour does not remind anyone of disco at all. Wait..the over the top tackiness just might.

tarvuz: tacky dressing styles and diva behaviour?

Come to think of it, that describes most of the music industry on a whole.

The message board for the article is funnier than the article itself

You can't just make this kind of idiocy up. This is almost at the AOL level of retarded commentary

The hip hop lifestyle hasn't spawned diva behavior. The egoist behavior has existed in hip hop, true, but it is among the artists, not among the listeners themselves, assuming that's what you're talking about. The culture of hip hop is the furthest thing from 'diva behavior.' Tacky dressing styles exist in all subcultures. Hip hop is no tackier than any other. And i would contend that its probably one of the least tacky dress styles among subculture groups. Baggy/large clothing (sweater/tee/jersey and jeans) and maybe a cap? It gets MUCH tackier than that, trust me.

Trieze: Ah...bigotry and idiocy...the belief that dollar signs look like "g"s.

I think we need an Alanis tag for the non-ironic articles.

Where ARE all the rap haters?? I haven't seen them on this thread yet! I hate rap, but I'm not gonna slam someone who does listen to it. The only thing I will say is that white kids who listen to it and try to dress and act like black rappers look really farkin' stupid! Ain't nothin' more silly than a white kid actin' like he's down with the brothers! Yet another aspect of black life and culture stolen from them by white folks! Sheesh!

(6/27/03, 4 p.m. ET) -- Mystikal pleaded guilty on Thursday (June 26) to extortion and battery charges stemming from an incident in 2002 where the rapper/actor forced his hairstylist to perform sex acts of him and two of his bodyguards.

Mystikal--whose real name is Michael Tyler--was originally facing aggravated rape charges, but agreed to a plea deal for the lesser two offenses.


Tyler was sentenced to five years of probation on the extortion charge, and must return to the Baton Rouge courtroom in September for sentencing on the count of sexual battery.


The prosecutor told the court that Tyler summoned his hairdresser to his apartment last summer, and accused her of stealing from him. He allegedly said he would not press charges if she agreed to perform a variety of sex acts on him and his employees, which he then videotaped.

True,but go rent "Fear of a Black Hat" and watch how much stuff DID happen as far as clothes and such over the years.At first,I thought Puffy was goofing on the movie when Farnsworth became his valet!

zappa: Where are all the rap haters? I could imagine you arriving in China and yelling "Where are all the Chinese people?"

Seriously though, as much as I hate suburban poseurs (the ones who are usually Ja Rule fans), don't forget that some white people still live in thie city, and have grown up with this.

That being said, Frank Zappa is cool. nice name.

Now black people have no more heros

Rofl, Fear of a black hat is the bomb! Clothes fads change, and as they move from the fringe to mainstream, evolve. Hip hop, I believe, has done it the best. There are hip hop cultured suits now, for chrissakes! AND THEY'RE NICE! Hip hop is here to stay, at least for the next 10 or so years. "Your children have been assimilated. Resistance is futile."

macabre: yeah, i thought Andre sounded a little bored with rap on the new Outkast album.

I like that he's branching out, (and I DO agree, Aphex Twin kicks ass), I hope he's not giving up on Hip-Hop. Outkast is the only reason I ever got into hip-hop, before that I was an alternative purist. (thank God I escaped THAT trainwreck)

Had he called himself C-foam-green, he could have been an interior decorator or maybe a gig on "Rap Eye for the Rock Guy" or something.

...finally.

Hip hop is a culture, spawned predominately by blacks, predominately for blacks. Its a culture of isolation and expresses a feeling of exclusion from the norm. Funny that it's caught on by the mainstream. I guess EVERYONE feels excluded from the 'norm,' especially white teens. Who'da thunk?

As we progress, hip hop is becoming more a cultural phenomenon, expressing the views of the culture of poverty not only in urban communities, but in suburban/rural ones as well. Everyone feels left out, excluded, ostracized, in some way shape or form. Hip hop caters to that belief. Bill and Ted had it right, just with the wrong musical style!

Why all the C-murder hatin'? Did he kill a white kid or something?
