Didn't watch any of it, so I guess I didn't miss anything. Best wishes whoever won.
I would've based the whole show on this song..... and get everyone's interp..... but no. Still, it's a good song.
I agree with a lot of this. Most of this, in fact. Someone asked me about the game. Game? Today? Sunday? They said THE SUPER BOWL!!! Oh.... is that today? LMAO!!
You are not alone, Richard. We found the whole half-time show to be distasteful. We were compelled to turn the sound OFF. Even then, the "choreography" was crude and sophomoric....there was not one song I heard before or at half time of the Super Bowl that I can honestly say I like or even consider to be music.
I'd say it reflects gang culture. In protest I stopped watching football years ago when that started up. (When I grew up, sportsmanship was a thing.) I watch some of the playoffs though, and definitely the superbowl. This year they've been good games, despite the posing, preening, yelling, screaming, spiking, taunting, etc....unfortunately today, the testosterone fueled posing, preening, yelling, screaming, spiking, taunting, etc, that passes for “sportsmanship,” rather reflects our society at large.....
It's one thing when a title is offensive; but when it's not even clever it's doubly bad.I made up my mind on RAP/HipHop back around 1990 when my boys brought a RAP cassette home with the song "Black Vagina Finda."
ah ah ah ah ah!!! Best summary on the thread.When your favorite music is played in elevators and supermarkets, it's time to accept that you've moved past the center of the bell curve that the entertainment industry uses to decide what should be played on popular media.
I guess the drugs were better back then ;]
....reminds me of what I read about the History of the Blues, it was considered vulgar, and coming straight from the drunk Devil's workshop if you listened to the "good" church goers / Gospel folks' opinion.And while rap and modern R&B are not my favorite genres of music, and often journey into lyrics, language, and themes contrary to my value system, I can respect that it has its place for a lot of people.
